Wavefolder vs Qwertet

Wavefolding is widely used in modular synthesis and experimental music production to add character, aggression, or shimmer to sound sources. Unlike simple hard clipping, which crushes transients, wavefolding preserves amplitude information by folding back on itself.

Connect a typing keyboard to your iPad or iPhone and it becomes a MIDI controller: USB or Bluetooth and works great with the iPad Magic Keyboard. Four layouts, from a plain piano to one-key chords. Run it on its own, or as an AUv3 inside AUM, Logic and the rest. No other hardware to buy. FOUR WAYS TO PLAY • Chromatic: laid out like a piano, with black key incidentals, pitch and modwheel shortcuts. • In-Key: set a key and lock yourself to its scale. Wrong notes are hard to play. • Fourths: a grid tuned in fourths, letting you transpose chord shapes across the scale. • Chord: one key, one chord. Major, minor, dim, aug or sus, with 6, m7, M7 or 9 on top. EXPRESSION, FROM THE KEYS • Number-row shortcuts for pitch bend and modwheel. • Hold the spacebar as a sustain pedal. • Shift switches between two velocities for extra dynamics. • Change the root, scale or octave and the whole board moves with it. TOUCH OR TYPE • Play the on-screen keys with your fingers, or connect a USB, Bluetooth or Magic Keyboard and type notes on real keys. • Every layout works both ways — no hardware needed to get started. WORKS EVERYWHERE • Standalone app, or an AUv3 MIDI plug-in inside AUM, Logic, Cubasis, Drambo and other hosts. • Sends to any CoreMIDI destination — hardware, other apps, or the host. • Includes a suite of instrument samples to audition QWERTET's layouts. • iPhone and iPad, iOS 16 and up.

Pair it with a synth, sampler or your favourite AUv3 instrument to hear it.
