Wavimus is a deep wavetable synthesizer for iPhone and iPad (iOS 18+). Optimized for touch, Wavimus offers crisp stereo output for mobile musicians, sound designers, and producers looking for advanced synthesis workflows standalone or inside an iOS DAW. Standalone App & AUv3 Plug-In Deploy Wavimus in two distinct configurations that seamlessly share user presets: β’ Standalone App: A full-screen production environment with an on-screen mini keyboard, real-time output oscilloscope waveform display. β’ AUv3 Instrument Plug-In: Connect inside compatible hosts like GarageBand or AUM. It appears natively as "Wavimusβ. Advanced Oscillators & Morphing β’ Three Wavetable Oscillators (WT 1β3): Features level, coarse/fine tuning, octave offset, and phase modes (restart on note-on or free-running). Morph across 64 frames (256 samples per bank) manually or via automatic scan sweeps with variable LFO shapes. β’ 21 Procedural Banks: Morph across characteristic timbres including SineβSaw, TriβSquare, Glass additive, Warm drive, Beating detune, Odd harmonics, PWM brass, Formant choir, Fold ice, Phase warp, Step crush, Sub grind, FM metal, Pulse ripper, Fold hell, Ring comb, Sync tear, Crush scrape, Reso skream, Chaos stairs, and Growl sub. β’ Sub & Noise: Dedicated sine-based sub layer for bass weight and a customizable noise oscillator (white, pink, brown). Includes independent ADSR+hold amp envelopes per oscillator slot. ZDF Filters & Modulation Matrix β’ Dual ZDF Filters: Independent virtual-analog style filter modules (Filter A and B) with zero-delay feedback topology and non-linear drive saturation. Includes low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, and notch modes (12/24 dB slopes), logarithmic cutoff mapping (20 Hzβ22 kHz), resonance, key tracking, pre/post drive, and series/parallel routing. β’ 64-Slot Mod Matrix: Up to 64 many-to-many routes with bipolar depth. Sources include LFOs 1-3, envelopes (amp/mod 1-3), velocity, mod wheel, pitch bend, performance macros 1-4, and pressure (poly/channel aftertouch). Targets include pitch, levels, wavetable positions, filter settings, LFO rates, effect mix, and delay tape speed. Multi-Effects & Parametric EQ β’ Dedicated Global FX: Includes a global Delay (ping-pong/tape types with mix, time, feedback, tape speed), an 8-channel FDN algorithmic Reverb with modulated delay reads for lush tails, and Distortion (bitcrusher, saturator, tape). β’ 5-Slot Serial Effects Chain: Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, Modulation-style EQ, and a Compressor. β’ Master Parametric EQ: An 8-band EQ separate from the serial chain with an interactive curve display, 2x oversampling high-quality mode, and stereo, left/right, or mid/side routing. Polyphony, MPE & Randomization β’ Voicing & Stacking: Up to 16 voices with poly/mono/legato voicing modes, portamento/glide, and unison stacking up to 16 detuned voices with stereo spread. β’ Master Processing: DSP master soft limiting features polyphony-aware gain scaling to safely minimize clipping on chords. β’ Sound Design Dice: Global patch randomization across three intensities (Nice, Medium, Chaos) plus per-oscillator module dice targeting related routes. β’ Integration & Styles: Optional MPE mode with per-note pitch bend, timbre, and pressure expression alongside standard Core MIDI input. Supports dark or light theme options with 18 custom accent color presets.

Bungee turns your iPhone and iPad into a musical instrument. Touch the screen to play a granular synthesizer, pluck glowing stripes like strings, and let sequences and drum beats play along. No music theory needed: every note fits the scale, so everything you play sounds musical. PLAY THE PLATE Every finger sprays clouds of tiny grains of sound. Move left and right to travel through the sound, up and down to change the grain size, press harder for denser clouds and swipe fast for stutter bursts. Up to ten fingers play at once. PLUCK, HOLD AND STRETCH STRIPES The stripes behave like strings. Pluck them, hold them to sustain, stretch them until they snap, or bow them with a slow swipe. Hold one stripe with up to four fingers and pull: the note rises as it stretches. Each stripe plays a note of the scale, and you can draw your own. THROW THE NODES Nodes sit on the stage and play whenever a stripe touches them. Drag them into place, or flick one and it flies across the stage, bouncing off the edges and plucking every stripe it crosses. TWENTY LOOKS, ONE INSTRUMENT Pick a theme and the whole app changes with it, from the stage to the menus, and Settings shows each one with a preview. ASCII terminal green (the default), Teletype ink on paper, Watercolor washes, black-and-white Noir, ringing Bronze, Blueprint drafting lines, Glass over an aurora, Mosaic tiles, 8-bit Handheld and Arcade, liquid Chrome, white Clay, Neo Brutalism, Acid neon, Pixel, Op Art, a Thermal heat camera, Glacier satellite maps, Orbit planets and Bubble. Your home-screen icon follows the theme too. 82 READY-TO-PLAY INSTRUMENTS Every template is a complete instrument with its own sound, stripes, effects and sequence, laid out on shelves: Techniques, Weird, Ambient, Melodic, Beats, Drums and Glitch. Each template opens in a look picked to fit it. Long-press one to preview or star it, start a New project on an empty stage, or take the nine-step guided tour. PLAY REAL MATERIALS The Techniques shelf teaches a way to play on a material that sounds like the real thing: steel strings to slide, singing glass to rub, rubber bands to stretch, a nylon harp to swipe, a musical saw and a bronze singing bowl to bow, coil springs, icicles, bamboo chimes, water drops and a talking drum whose pitch bends under your finger. WEIRD: IDM AND GLITCH Beat-led IDM templates: drill'n'bass, chopped breaks, acid, braindance and glitch, with growling Reese bass, modem leads, FM tines and stuttering pads. RECORD, UNDO, TRANSFORM Record what you play and share it straight away. Undo and redo anything. Three big controls, Glitch, Space and Tone, transform any template in one move, and Mutate varies the running sequence. DRUM MACHINES BUILT IN Ten drum templates play real beats: footwork, house, boom bap, bongos, metal, wood, chiptune, IDM clicks, water drums and half-time trap. Play along on the stripes. SOUND NODES AND SAMPLES Drop sample, synth, noise and drone nodes on the stage and play them by holding or dragging. Use 13 built-in samples (kalimba, felt piano, Rhodes, tape choir, rain and more) or import your own from Files: WAV, MP3, M4A, AIFF, FLAC and OGG. SEQUENCER Pick a pattern and a tempo, or open Advanced for the step grid, Euclidean and Turing patterns, swing and direction. EFFECTS AND MIXER Reverb, delay, phaser and drive, balanced in a touch-friendly mixer. MIDI, AUV3 AND ABLETON LINK - Use Bungee as an AUv3 instrument inside your favourite host app - Connect a MIDI controller and it maps itself: Korg nanoKONTROL2, Novation Launch Control XL, Launchkey Mini and more, plus MIDI learn for anything else - Sync the tempo with other apps and devices over Ableton Link MAKE IT YOURS - Save projects and your own templates, and share them - A retro terminal view that shows every event as you play Everything is generated live on your device. No account, no sign-up, no subscription. Touch the screen and start playing.
