Midi vs Aether Jam

Seven MIDI controllers you'd actually want, in one app. MidiMorf is a suite of expressive iOS controllers with a deep 32-voice synth to play them through. Grab your phone, put on headphones, and you're jamming in ten seconds. Or connect the free companion server to your Mac and turn it into a wireless MIDI rig for Ableton, Logic, GarageBand, and any DAW that speaks MIDI. THE SEVEN CONTROLLERS • Morf-Pad — XY morphing pad with scale-locked notes • Strum-Chord — Omnichord-inspired chord grid + strum plate • Morf-Chord — 7 diatonic chord pads with per-chord XY voicing • Rose-Chord — Orchid-inspired: hold chord types, tap the keyboard • Dual M-Pad — two independent XY pads side-by-side • Transport — Play/Stop/Record + Mackie Control utility buttons • Morf-FX — XY effects pad with assignable FX buttons TWO WAYS TO PLAY Local mode — the built-in synth makes the sound. Headphones or a Bluetooth speaker. Never touch a computer. WiFi mode — run the free MidiMorf Server on your Mac. Every note, CC, and transport message flies over WiFi into your DAW. No cables, no MIDI interface, no latency headaches. THE SYNTH 32-voice polyphony. Dual oscillators (sine, triangle, saw, square) with PolyBLEP anti-aliasing plus a sub. Analog-modelled 4-pole ladder filter with resonance. Full ADSR on amp and filter. LFO. 4-slot modulation matrix routing accelerometer tilt, velocity, mod wheel, and LFO to filter, pitch, gain, and effect parameters. Distortion, tempo-friendly delay, reverb. MORE • Tilt your phone — the accelerometer is a live mod source • Custom color theme per controller • Favorite button — long-press to assign, tap to jump • Landscape-only, wood-frame Free.

Aether is the simplest way to jam progressive and melodic house from your phone. Build a track as a stack of layers — Bass, Chords, Drums, and a live Lead — each started from a curated loop and tuned with friendly controls. No timeline, no clutter: just pick a sound and play. One synth, everywhere. A single wavetable engine powers Bass, Chords, and Lead. Morph the oscillator from sine to saw to square, sweep the filter, shape the envelope, and save your sound to a global library you can reuse on any layer. Play, don't program. The Lead is performed live on a scale-locked pad grid — every pad is in key, so there are no wrong notes. Hold several pads for chords, slide for glissando, and ride the one-finger filter-morph ribbon. The shimmer river. A shared shimmer-reverb send that any track can attach to or detach from with a tap — add lush, blooming octaves to exactly the tracks you want. Make it yours. • Swap loops, kits and chord progressions in one tap • Per-track volume faders and mute • Adjustable tempo, live • Transpose the bass, change the lead octave • Record your jam to a file and grab it from the Files app Everything stays on your device. No account, no sign-up, no data collected. Plug in headphones and start jamming.
