Plinth Player vs Fractal Studio

Plinth puts your own music library in your pocket. If you run Emby or Jellyfin — or someone in your life does — Plinth is the native iPhone app that connects straight to your server. No re-uploading your collection to someone else's cloud. No subscription to listen to music you already own. Just your library, the way you organised it, wherever you go. Stream or take it offline Play anything on your server over Wi-Fi or cellular, or download albums, playlists, and podcast episodes to your iPhone for the gym, the plane, or the subway. Downloads are yours to keep until you remove them, and Plinth shows you exactly what's stored and how much space it's using. Built for real libraries • Browse by album, artist, song, or playlist • High-quality playback, including lossless FLAC and ALAC • Create playlists in the app — they sync back to your Emby server • Podcast shows and episodes alongside your music • A Home screen that surfaces your playlists and recent listening • Clean offline mode with a clear banner when you're off-network Your server, your rules Plinth talks directly to your own Emby or Jellyfin instance.

Fractal Studio is the intelligent companion for Fractal Audio players. Whether you own an Axe-Fx III, FM9, or FM3, it brings AI-powered tone building, instant MIDI control, and a full amp reference into one app. TONE BUILDER Describe any guitar sound in plain English — "Edge's clean delay from Where The Streets Have No Name," "heavy Deftones wall of sound," or "warm single-coil jazz clean" — and the AI builds you a complete preset. Amp model, cabinet, drive pedals, modulation, reverb, and global EQ are all dialed in and ready to replicate on your device. MIDI REMOTE Fire any of your Fractal device's 512 presets from your phone. The four-bank grid covers the full 1–512 preset range and sends a Program Change instantly over USB or Bluetooth MIDI. Slot labels show exact preset numbers so you always know what's active. AMP & EFFECTS REFERENCE A searchable guide to every amp model, effect type, and signal block in the Fractal platform, organised by category and automatically updated from the Fractal Audio wiki when the app loads. ARTIST PRESETS Browse the complete Gift of Tone and Artist Preset Series catalog — Steve Vai, John Petrucci, Alex Lifeson, Synyster Gates, Guthrie Govan, Animals As Leaders, and dozens more. Filter by series and search by name to find tones from your favourite players. FIRMWARE HISTORY A full release-by-release changelog from firmware 1.00 to the latest release, with new amp additions, effect blocks, and milestone badges for Cygnus, Cygnus X-2, DynaCab, and Cygnus X-3. Alerts you when a newer version is detected on the wiki. PRESET LIBRARY Every AI-generated tone is saved with full detail — amp model, knob values, effects chain, cabinet, global EQ, and notes. Search, star favourites, reorder presets, and send any saved tone to your Fractal device via MIDI. Compatible with Axe-Fx III, FM9, and FM3. USB MIDI supported on Axe-Fx III and FM9; FM3 requires a physical MIDI interface. A free Google AI Studio API key unlocks unlimited tone generation — a small number of free requests are included.
