WAIL - Industrial Feedback Synthesiser, Drone and AUV3 FX Turn unstable feedback into a playable instrument. WAIL forces a self-resonating signal into submission, generating harsh drones, soaring screams, and aggressive textures that traditional synths refuse to touch. Built for zero menu-diving and pure performance, WAIL delivers raw, uncompromised noise control in a single intuitive screen. TAME THE NOISE: 4 Dynamic XY Pads: Instant tactile control over Feedback/Filter, Bite/Space, Ring/Fold, and Comb/Sub. Dedicated Performance Knobs: Master, Spread, Grind, and Tune, with dual-axis Coarse/Fine tuning designed for precise, subtle adjustments mid-performance. Real-Time Visuals: Built-in integrated oscilloscope displays waveform stability and feedback saturation as you play. Drone or MIDI Triggered: Play as an evolving drone, or connect a MIDI keyboard or sequencer. AUv3 FX: Load WAIL as an effect in your host and run any track through its feedback engine. Push a drum loop, a vocal, or a synth line into full self-resonating collapse, or layer WAIL's own drone on top of what you send in. Seamless AUv3 Integration: Full host transport sync, preset save/recall, and universal MIDI CC learn across all 12 parameters. Universal Support: Formatted natively for both iPad and iPhone as an AUv3 plugin or Standalone app. 12 parameters. 4 XY pads. One feedback loop trying to escape.

About

ThreeTuring

Features
Read full description

Construct evolving sequences. The creative experience of using a constrained hardware system rather than the lazy freedom of just being able to “add another module”. ThreeTuring lays out everything in front of you without the need to keep going back to the manual. No menu diving, no alternative pages and easy to pick up if you haven’t used it for a few weeks or months. Having fun making music. ThreeTuring consists of a dual oscillator monosynth, a clock module for generating trigger patterns alongside a collection of generative modules encompassing a range of modular generative techniques including a turing machine, random generators, LFOs, envelope generators, a quantiser, a note accent and a set of effects modules. Pretty much every control can be modulated via the nine slot modmatrix, including the modulation settings themselves.
