Meet Jynth, the new synth by Fingerlab for iPhone, iPad and Mac — the warm, analog soul of the iconic Roland Juno-106, reimagined with a groundbreaking Physics Engine for organic, living sound. Designed for leads, basses, keys & pads, Jynth delivers that classic vintage character you love — housed in a meticulously crafted, photo-realistic interface that looks as good as it sounds. Shape your sound with a full analog-style signal chain: From the dual oscillators and resonant VCF filter to the ADSR envelope, LFO and built-in arpeggiator — every parameter has been carefully tuned to feel as musical as it sounds. Go further with 6 studio-grade effects: Tremolo, Flanger, Overdrive, Chorus, Delay & Reverb — stack them to build rich, evolving textures and cinematic soundscapes. Bring your presets to life with the Physics Engine: This is where Jynth truly stands apart. Assign up to 8 physics-driven modulations to any synth or effect parameter. Gravity, bounce, impulse, angle — let the laws of physics shape your sound in ways no LFO ever could. Every preset becomes unique, every performance feels alive. Explore new sonic territory with Preset Per Note & Preset Ribbon: Inspired by the music of Aphex Twin, Preset Per Note lets you assign a different preset to each key of the piano keyboard — so every note triggers an entirely different sound. Take it further with Preset Ribbon: select a collection of presets and glide between them in real time, simply by sliding your finger across the ribbon. A new way to perform. A new way to play. Play anywhere, plug into anything: Jynth is universal — one purchase gives you the full experience on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Use it as a standalone app or load it as an AudioUnit (AUv3) plugin directly inside your favorite DAW. Pair it with your MIDI controller via MIDI In support, and your sound is always there — even when your screen is off, thanks to Audio Background mode. Unlock the Full Version to access preset creation, all factory presets, FX, Physics Engine, Randomizer, Undo, Preset Per Note & Preset Ribbon.

Features
Read full description

AudioPipeline is set of three AUv3 plugins — Send (audio effect) and Receive (instrument/effect) — that stream live audio between AUv3 hosts and devices over your local network using LINK AUDIO as transport layer. No cables, no virtual ports, no central server, no internet required. Powered by Ableton Link Audio, AudioPipeline interoperates with any other Link-Audio-aware app and works between apps on the same device, between two devices wired by USB or Ethernet, or across the same Wi-Fi. While Send-style plugins exist elsewhere, AudioPipeline is the first App Store release to ship a fully-featured Receive plugin — an 8-channel network mixer you load like an instrument and route inside your DAW. KEY FEATURES • Send plugin (aufx) — insert on any track to publish its audio as a named network channel. • Receive plugin (aumu, aufx) — first-of-its-kind on the App Store. Subscribe to up to 8 incoming streams at once. • Near to ZERO latency when both Receiver and Sender are running on same device • Per-strip controls — mute, gain (-42 to +16 dB), pan, stereo level meter, and assignable output bus (1–8). • Multi-output routing — 8 stereo buses exposed to multi-out hosts (AUM, Logic Pro for iPad, Cubasis, Drambo, TheRack). Single-bus hosts (GarageBand) auto-sum. • Optional resampler on Send — 44.1 / 48 / 88.2 / 96 kHz for peers with no recampling capability on receiver side. • Plugin Delay Compensation — Receiver plugin report latency so the host keeps everything in time. USE CASES • Bridge two AUv3 hosts on one iPad — route a synth in app A into a recording track in app B with very low latency. • Stream between iPad and iPhone — over Wi-Fi, USB-C, or Ethernet dock. • Send iOS audio to desktop compatible hosts or plugins. • Build a multi-track network mixer — one Send per track in app A, one Receive with up to 8 strips in app B, each routed to its own bus for independent EQ and effects. • Parallel processing — subscribe to the same source twice and run two different effect chains on different buses. Powered by Ableton Link Audio. Local-network only — does not require or use the internet.
