About

LogSynth

Features
Read full description

LogSynth is a polyphonic virtual-analog synthesizer built for people who care what's actually happening in the signal path, not just what the preset browser looks like. Every voice runs five anti-aliased oscillators (sine, triangle, saw, pulse with PWM, and a band-limited impulse train) plus a dedicated sub-oscillator and noise source, mixed per-voice with independent amp envelopes. Chunky oscillators, crisp effects and a zero-delay-feedback state-variable filter โ€” switchable low/high/bandpass. The drive effect is powered by a physically modeled diode circuit, numerically integrated rather than a lookup-table approximation, so pushing it into saturation behaves the way an actual analog drive would. FEATURES - 8-voice polyphony, 5 oscillators + sub + noise per voice - Zero-delay-feedback state-variable filter with resonant feedback and diode drive saturation - 5 independent oscillator envelopes plus a dedicated filter envelope - 2 assignable LFOs and an 8-slot modulation matrix - Built-in chorus, delay, FDN reverb, and 4-mode distortion - 41 factory presets across Bass, Lead, Pluck, and Effects - One-tap patch randomizer with adjustable intensity - Real-time oscilloscope, on-screen keyboard, and CoreMIDI input - Runs standalone or as an AUv3 instrument inside AU hosts Whether you're sound designing from scratch or dropping it into a DAW as a plugin, Logsynth gives you the same engine everywhere โ€” no watered-down mobile version, no feature gating between standalone and plugin modes.

About

REVE Model 1

Features
Read full description

The REVE Model 1 is an ambient drone soundscape machine, built around a synth and echo machine that turns a single note into a slowly evolving world. Play a single note or chord, arpegiatte it, and wait as a simple phrase unfolds into a dark cinematic drone, a meditative texture for sound bathing, or something stranger you didn't plan on. Push the echo repeats toward infinite, and let it rip. Want to hear REVE Model 1 before purchasing? Try the lite version at http://revemodel1.davebokil.com/ FULL ANALOG-STYLE SYNTH ENGINE VCO โ€” Range switch (16', 8', 4', 2'), Tune, Pulse Width, and a Manual/Envelope PWM source switch. Source Mixer โ€” independent levels for Saw, Pulse, Sub, and Noise, plus a switchable sub-oscillator mode (โˆ’1 octave square, โˆ’2 octave square, โˆ’2 octave pulse). Filter โ€” 20Hzโ€“20kHz cutoff and Resonance, Envelope amount, Key Follow, and a dedicated Filter LFO. Envelope + VCA โ€” full ADSR, with a VCA mode switch for Envelope or Gate. LFO โ€” Triangle, Square, Sample & Hold, or Noise waveforms, with Rate, Depth, and a to-pitch routing toggle. Arpeggiator โ€” Off/Up/Down/Up-Down modes, 1โ€“4 octave range, adjustable rate, and Hold (latch). THE ECHO โ€” THE HEART OF THE INSTRUMENT Delay/looping built to be played, not just heard: Repeat (feedback) that goes all the way to infinite sustain, delay time up to 4 seconds, and independent volume control. Push it toward infinite and a phrase stops being a phrase: it becomes a drone, a drift, a texture that keeps changing while your hands are free to reshape it. An output limiter with Threshold, Ceiling, and a gain-reduction meter โ€” keeps things from clipping as the repeats stack up, no matter how far into the red you push it. PLAY IT LIKE AN INSTRUMENT A touch keyboard with real glissando โ€” slide across keys instead of just tapping them โ€” adjustable visible octave range and key span, and a Hold/latch mode so a note can ring on its own while both hands stay on the knobs. A pitch bend lever has independent VCO/VCF sensitivity, and portamento (glide) time is adjustable. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No ads, no analytics, no network access, no accounts, no in-app purchases. Everything happens on your phone, nowhere else. COMING SOON MIDI and AUv3 Support
