Aether Learn teaches you how sound and synthesizers actually work, one hands-on lesson at a time. No jargon, no prerequisites. Every concept comes with a real synth engine you play with your finger, so you hear the idea the moment you read it. Start from the very beginning: what sound is, how frequency becomes pitch, and why a wave's shape decides its character. Then build up through the tools real producers use every day. WHAT YOU LEARN - Sound and frequency: vibration, pitch, amplitude, and the difference between loudness you measure and loudness you hear - Waveforms and harmonics: watch a bright wave get built from pure sine waves, one at a time, until it forms a full saw - Subtractive synthesis: shape tone with a low-pass filter, resonance, and the classic filter sweep - Envelopes: attack, hold, decay, sustain, release, and delay, shaping how a note lives over time - Modulation: LFOs, vibrato, tremolo, and the rhythmic filter wobble at the heart of bass music HOW IT WORKS Each lesson has three steps. Learn the idea in plain language, watch a short demo that moves the controls for you, then play with a real, audio-reactive instrument built into the app. You see the waveform, the harmonics, the filter curve, and the envelope respond in real time as you turn the knobs. Built for curiosity. Whether you have never touched a synth or you want to finally understand the gear you already own, Aether Learn gets you from zero to making sounds you understand. Best suited for absolute beginners who want solid foundations to carry into any DAW or software synthesizer when they start producing music.

Read full description

NoizyBeast is a kaiju. A feedback drone synth with no keyboard. A resonating string runs through filters, reverb and tape echo and feeds back into itself until it ignites. You don't play notes -- you provoke the beast and ride whatever comes back. Silence, breathing, drone, roar. Grow a noise that is yours alone. MAKE IT ROAR - FEEDBACK loops a tiny electrical signal and amplifies it into noise -- the same principle as microphone feedback. - FREQUENCY is the beast's voice. A free-sliding knob, not a keyboard, so you can glide between pitches. - BODY, in-loop filters, and a bit crusher you can place INSIDE the loop (the damage re-amplifies every pass). - Tempo-synced gate with tap tempo, metal resonance, and a gear-jamming Drag. Tap tempo drives the GATE for easy ducking-style movement. - Screaming wah, octave-up roar, vocal formants. - Six decay behaviours: string sustain, blooming-and-wilting drone, gate tails, plucked cycles, pitch dive-bombs, a swell cut dead. - A DJ-style filter at the output: season the sound with LPF and HPF. FREE VERSION Completely free as an instrument: all 34 knobs, every parameter (except Macro assignment), tap tempo, and the 18-preset Horror bank. NOIZYBEAST PRO (one-time purchase, no subscription) - Record, export and share your performances - All 108 presets - Save your own user presets - Assign your favourite parameters to the 3 macro knobs (move several parameters with one knob) There is no limit to the sounds you can make. Twist the knobs freely and grow a noise that is yours alone. For iPhone, iPad and Mac. One Pro purchase unlocks all three.
