DynaSynth vs Tapko Stomp

DynaSynth Dynamic Shape Synthesizer (AUv3) DynaSynth is a virtual instrument plugin that can run standalone, or in any AU compatible host such as Logic Pro or GarageBand. Please note that the standalone version does not include a built-in keyboard - you need to connect a suitable MIDI device to play the synth. Overview DynaSynth is an original design based on variable shaped dual analog-flavoured oscillators for each of its 8 voices, that uses its own output to modulate parameters dynamically. This can produce interesting sonic results that would be very difficult, if not impossible to achieve using traditional fixed LFOs and envelopes. That's because: As the sound changes, so does the modulation amount, which changes the sound, which affects the modulation amount... Dynamic / Modulation & Display At the top of the UI is a realtime display of "dynamics", wave shapes and all the modulation being applied. The (D) dynamics indicator is essentially an envelope follower with variable damping that is used as a modulation source for the oscillator shapes (1/2), vibrato (v) and filter (f) cutoff. MIDI Implementation DynaSynth is an 8 voice polyphonic velocity-sensitive MIDI instrument and is playable over a keyboard range from A0 (21) to C7 (96) on any MIDI channel. DynaSynth also responds to mod wheel, expression (CC#11), sustain (CC#64), channel aftertouch, all notes off (CC#123) and pitch-bend. DynaSynth vs. DynaSinth While they can be confusing, the names are very similar on purpose, representing a shared design theme, i.e. a synth that is dynamic. The DynaSynth design actually came first, and it is based on fairly traditional analog-flavoured oscillators. DynaSinth shares the same dynamics engine but with a modified set of parameters designed to complement the sound of its sine wave oscillators. While I like to think both synths have their own character, and can sound fairly unique, DynaSynth is probably more capable of producing familiar analog synth tones, and DynaSinth lends itself more to keys and pads. Both synths are also good for those who like to experiment with "out there" / "Sci-Fi" type sounds, and DynaSynth is probably better suited for that sort of thing.

Tapko Stomp is an AUv3 audio trigger for live performance. It listens to your incoming audio and converts transients into MIDI notes, sample playback, or both. It's tailored towards live loopers but works for anyone that wants to be able to use any audio source to record MIDI. Tapko Stomp is actively developed with continuous refinements, performance improvements, and new creative features inspired by real musicians. Built for fast setup on stage: - Insert Tapko Stomp on an audio track - Route MIDI to your instrument (or load a sample directly) - Dial in sensitivity and filter range - Play with reliable trigger response Features - AUv3 effect with MIDI output - Real-time transient detection tuned for percussive input - Single trigger output with automatable MIDI note - Trigger mode: MIDI, Sample, or Both - Sample picker and clear - Velocity-based triggering with improved dynamic response - Velocity shaping: min, max, and multiplier - Persistent velocity readout that holds until the next trigger - Live trigger feedback, flash indicator, and velocity readout - AU preset compatibility in supported hosts - Preset persistence for selected sample files Great For - Live stomp sample triggering - Layering one-shots on live drum sources - Compact live rigs. Use Tapko Stomp in AUv3-compatible hosts such as AUM, Loopy Pro, Cubasis, and other iOS DAWs that support AUv3 MIDI routing.
