Tuner-Flow — Chromatic Tuner A fast, accurate chromatic tuner for guitar, bass, ukulele, banjo, and more. Tune by ear or by eye with two meter styles — a classic strobe display and a traditional needle meter. The string guide shows all your strings at a glance, highlights the closest match as you play, and locks in with a satisfying haptic when you're spot on. Enable auto-advance and it moves to the next string automatically, so you can keep both hands on the instrument. Switch to chromatic mode for instrument-agnostic tuning — ideal for vocals, wind instruments, or anything that isn't a guitar. Features Strobe and needle meter modes Auto string detection with manual override Auto-advance through strings when in tune Chromatic mode for any instrument or voice 17 tunings across guitar, bass, ukulele, and banjo Reference tone playback per string Adjustable A4 reference pitch (420–460 Hz) Microphone sensitivity and input source controls Haptic feedback when locked in tune

Read full description

NoizyBeast is a kaiju. A feedback drone synth with no keyboard. A resonating string runs through filters, reverb and tape echo and feeds back into itself until it ignites. You don't play notes -- you provoke the beast and ride whatever comes back. Silence, breathing, drone, roar. Grow a noise that is yours alone. MAKE IT ROAR - FEEDBACK loops a tiny electrical signal and amplifies it into noise -- the same principle as microphone feedback. - FREQUENCY is the beast's voice. A free-sliding knob, not a keyboard, so you can glide between pitches. - BODY, in-loop filters, and a bit crusher you can place INSIDE the loop (the damage re-amplifies every pass). - Tempo-synced gate with tap tempo, metal resonance, and a gear-jamming Drag. Tap tempo drives the GATE for easy ducking-style movement. - Screaming wah, octave-up roar, vocal formants. - Six decay behaviours: string sustain, blooming-and-wilting drone, gate tails, plucked cycles, pitch dive-bombs, a swell cut dead. - A DJ-style filter at the output: season the sound with LPF and HPF. FREE VERSION Completely free as an instrument: all 34 knobs, every parameter (except Macro assignment), tap tempo, and the 18-preset Horror bank. NOIZYBEAST PRO (one-time purchase, no subscription) - Record, export and share your performances - All 108 presets - Save your own user presets - Assign your favourite parameters to the 3 macro knobs (move several parameters with one knob) There is no limit to the sounds you can make. Twist the knobs freely and grow a noise that is yours alone. For iPhone, iPad and Mac. One Pro purchase unlocks all three.
