Super Serrated vs StepLoom

Super Serrated is a supersaw synthesizer for iOS and desktop production workflows. Build wide, animated saw textures with an expressive oscillator, resonant filtering, dual envelopes, dual LFOs, modulation routing, MIDI pitch bend, mod wheel, and channel aftertouch support. Super Serrated runs as a standalone app on iOS and macOS or as an AUv3 plugin within compatible DAWs including Garage Band, Logic Pro, Cubasis, Ableton Live, AUM, and Drambo. The synth is built around a clear and simple interface: oscillator, filter, envelopes, LFOs, modulation, and voice controls are always within reach. - Standalone and AUv3 plugin - Supports USB audio interfaces, wired and Bluetooth MIDI - Stereo super saw oscillator with selectable saw count: 1 to 11 saws - Oscillator octave control, detune, stereo width, unison mix, and oscillator level - Sine sub-oscillator - Per-voice white noise - Voice-level polyphony up to 16 voices - Poly, mono, and legato voice modes - Polyphony shared with up to 16 voice unison with extra detune spread - Portamento for glides and legato-style transitions - Velocity and aftertouch - Resonant ladder-style filter with 2 and 4 poles, and bass compensation - Low pass, high pass, and bandpass filter modes - Filter drive, bass boost - Two ADSR envelopes - Two LFOs with sine, triangle, saw, square, and random shapes - Free-running or tempo-synced LFO rates - LFO depth, smoothing, bipolar/unipolar range, and reset-on-note controls - Visual envelope, filter, and LFO feedback in the main UI - Modulation matrix with seven routing slots

StepLoom is a fast, touch-first electronic music sketchpad for making beats, loops, basslines, and melody ideas on iPhone and iPad. It gives you the focus of a compact groovebox without the weight of a full DAW, so you can start a rhythm, shape a synth line, try an AUv3 instrument, arrange patterns, and keep moving while the idea is fresh. Create drum patterns with a step sequencer, write melodic parts with piano-roll style editing, stack chords, add legato, adjust BPM, mix tracks, and switch sounds. Add Sample tracks by importing audio or recording directly in the Tracks view, then use the waveform editor to trim, reverse, normalize, tune, and shape One-shot or Loop playback. The project Media Library keeps custom audio available for reuse and arrangement. Turn loops into songs with three complementary arrangement views: shape Patterns and audio clips on the Timeline, launch quantized Patterns and Scenes in Session, or build visual paths and probability rules in Flow. Draw or record automation for mixer controls and supported AUv3 parameters. When you want to go beyond the built-in sounds, add AUv3 instrument or effect plugins, choose exposed plugin presets, open compatible plugin interfaces, and activate Plugin Sound directly from the sound picker. Optional iCloud sync keeps compatible projects and project media available across your Apple devices. StepLoom continues to work locally when sync is disabled. StepLoom is built for quick electronic music drafts: open the app, tap a grid, hear the result, and turn a loop into a structured idea.
