Sentium Glitch vs MidiDeep

Build animated electronic instruments from four synthesis engines. Blend Subtractive, FM, Karplus-Strong, and Wavetable layers. Sentium Glitch is a stereo AUv3 synthesizer for producers, composers, and sound designers who want layered motion inside one focused instrument. Use it in compatible AUv3 instrument hosts, or open the standalone app on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro to load the same experience, connect MIDI inputs, and play it as a standalone instrument. Every patch is a complete sound design document: four engine layers, per-layer envelopes, filters, LFOs, modulation routes, pan, level, engine bypass, master effects, polyphony budgeting, voice mode and glide, and optional recorded XY Pad motion all recallable through presets and AU host project state. Core sound engines: - Subtractive: dual oscillators, sub, noise, detune, pulse-width shaping, and multimode filtering for classic analog weight and layered fundamentals. - FM: five operator topologies for bells, keys, metallic basses, and aggressive digital color: two-operator, blended two-operator, stacked, dual-modulator, and split-carrier. - Karplus-Strong: plucked and struck delay-line resonators for guitars, kotos, mallets, metallic attacks, and hybrid acoustic-electric textures. - Wavetable: curated morphing tables with vocal formants, digital edges, harmonic motion, seeded-random spectra, and unison width for animated modern tones. Performance and modulation: - Poly, mono, and legato voice modes with adjustable glide (portamento) for tight monophonic basses and expressive, gliding leads. - Two XY pads with four routable axes. - Record XY pad motion per engine and save it with the patch. - Route LFOs, envelopes, velocity, aftertouch, pitch bend, mod wheel, CC74, and XY pad axes to musical targets. - Move oscillator pitch and mix, FM index and ratios, Karplus brightness and decay, wavetable position and detune, filter, pan, gain, LFO rates, and master-FX controls. - Sync LFOs, chorus rate, and delay time to host tempo when available. Patch and mix tools: - Four-layer engine mixer for balancing, panning, and bypassing each sound source. - Master chorus, delay, reverb, level, and soft clip. - Global polyphony budget up to 32 voices with device-aware runtime limits. - Stereo output at 44.1, 48, and 96 kHz sample rates where supported. - On-screen keyboard with pitch and modulation wheels, plus CoreMIDI input management in the standalone app. Factory and user library: Start from 92 factory presets spanning signature motion patches, classic synth tones, basses, leads, keys, bells, plucks, strings, pads, rhythmic textures, atmospheres, experimental sounds, and technical references. Save your own user presets locally with iCloud sync when available. Export selected saved user presets as .sgpresets files and import them through a preview workflow that appends new user presets without overwriting the existing library. Sentium Glitch is built for sounds that move: evolving pads, unstable digital bells, hybrid plucks, animated basses, cinematic sweeps, mono leads that glide between notes, and expressive performance patches that respond to your hands.

MidiDeep is a real-time MIDI processor. It makes no sound of its own: it reshapes what you play before your instruments ever hear it. You build a chain of effects, block by block, and you hear the result straight away. THE BLOCKS Chord — builds a diatonic chord from a single note. Degrees, inversions, sus2, sus4, sixths, sevenths, ninths, and an octave setting per block. Arpeggio — arpeggiates held notes. Six directions, divisions from whole note to 64th, gate, swing, octaves, latch, transpose. Steps — a polyphonic step sequencer, up to sixteen steps. Per step: semitone, length, ratchet, velocity, tie. Delay — synchronised MIDI repeats. Harmonize — parallel voices. Every block runs on its own internal clock or follows the MIDI clock of your sequencer. KEY AND SCALE One tonic and one scale shared by the whole chain. Fourteen scales, from major to diminished by way of the pentatonics and whole tone. Notes outside the scale are pulled to the nearest one, so you never play a wrong note. MULTIPLE TIMELINES Open as many TimeLines as you need — up to four on iPhone and iPad, up to eight windows on Mac. Each one is independent: its own effect chain, its own channel filters, its own clock, its own MIDI ports. Each TimeLine shows up as a separate port in your DAW — Ableton Live, Logic Pro or any other MIDI host. Preferences and presets stay shared across all of them. CONNECTIONS A virtual MIDI port for other apps on your device. USB MIDI interfaces. Network MIDI to your other machines. BLE MIDI. Input channel filtering, output channel remapping, and a matrix that decides, for each destination, what goes out: notes, clock, controllers. MACROS AND PRESETS Four macros, assignable to any parameter and drivable by CC from your controller. One preset per effect, plus patches that recall the entire chain. ONE PURCHASE, ALL YOUR DEVICES MidiDeep is a Universal Purchase: buy it on iPhone or iPad and it's on your Mac too; buy it on Mac and it follows you to iOS.
