Phasetable vs Kinetic by folina

Four oscillators. Your own wavetables. Import a WAV, shape it while it plays, then put every detail in motion with MPE. Phasetable is a precision wavetable instrument for immediate exploration and serious production. Start with 54 factory banks or bring in your own WAVs. Open the standalone app or load the AUv3 inside a compatible host, touch a key, and hear motion before you reach for a manual—then go as deep as the session demands. BUILD THE SOURCE • Four independent wavetable oscillators with frame scan, coarse and fine tuning, equal-power pan, phase control and individual filter routing • 12 phase-warp modes, including PWM, Sync, Formant, Quantize and FM Self • Up to four unison copies per oscillator, plus phase or ring cross-modulation • Automatic band-limiting keeps movement clean across pitch, unison, Warp Mode and Cross Mod MAKE IT MOVE • Four wavetable-shaped motion lanes, free-running or tempo-synced from 1/32 to 4 Bars • Lanes that run globally, retrigger per note, or start every note from a random phase • 12 modulation sources, 36 destinations and 328 valid modulation routes • Dedicated Amp and Filter envelopes plus two velocity-sensitive envelopes that can loop per voice—all four route through the matrix • Velocity, key tracking, pressure and timbre as playable modulation sources • Envelope following that can steer lane depth, rate or frame from the dynamics of a performance SCULPT THE SIGNAL • Eight ladder-filter responses with drive, resonance, key tracking and a dedicated envelope • Per-voice noise for breath, impact and texture • Dirt for wavefolding and harmonic excitation • Tape for wow, flutter, feedback and stereo instability • Tempo-aware Echo and a four-line Space reverb IMPORT, BUILD AND EXPORT YOUR OWN WAVETABLES Bring your own wavetables into Phasetable. Import common PCM and floating-point WAV files as single cycles or multi-frame banks. Compatible cycle metadata finds frame boundaries automatically; unmarked files can be treated as one cycle or sliced into 2,048-sample frames. Multichannel files are mixed to mono, and every cycle is precisely resampled. Draw freehand or by line while the sound plays. Normalize, center, invert, reverse, smooth or reduce seam discontinuities. Add, duplicate, delete and reorder frames with 64 levels of undo and redo. A bank can hold up to 256 frames at 2,048 samples each. Save imported or drawn banks with complete presets, synchronize them through iCloud Drive, and embed them in project state. Export standard 32-bit floating-point mono WAV files for exchange with other compatible tools. PERFORM AND PRODUCE • Poly, Mono and Legato modes with glide and adaptive polyphony up to 16 voices • MIDI 1.0, MIDI 2.0 and MPE with per-note bend, pressure and timbre • MIDI Learn, controller feedback, assignable CCs and reliable host automation • A responsive 25-key performance surface with octave, sustain, velocity and panic controls • Live displays for envelopes, filter response, lane phase and every effect • Standalone sample rate, buffer size and MIDI input selection, plus output device choice on Mac START FAST. FINISH YOUR WAY. Explore 54 factory banks across nine spectral families and 34 factory presets spanning essentials, basses, keys, plucks, leads, pads, sequences, textures and effects. Search by category. User banks and presets can synchronize through iCloud Drive. Host automation and project recall remain attached to the same controls across compatible versions. Project state carries the tables it uses, so the sound you designed is the sound the session recalls. An integrated guided tutorial and detailed manual make the same instrument approachable on day one and transparent under expert scrutiny. Phasetable is built for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Vision Pro.

Kinetic transforms static sounds into living performances. Instead of relying on a single LFO or repeating modulation pattern, Kinetic continuously generates evolving movement throughout your audio. Filters drift, stereo position breathes, tonal balance shifts, spatial depth changes, and countless subtle interactions combine to create the feeling that your sound is alive. The result isn't obvious modulation. It's motion. Every control shapes a different aspect of that movement: • Motion determines the overall amount of animation. • Drift adds slow organic evolution that never repeats exactly. • Width expands movement across the stereo field. • Flow changes the speed and energy of internal motion. • Character selects one of six unique movement engines, each with its own personality. • Mix blends your original signal with the animated result. Choose from six Character modes: • Tide — Slow, relaxed, ocean-like movement. • Orbit — Rhythmic circular motion with electronic energy. • Current — Constant forward momentum. • Swarm — Dense competing layers of animated movement. • Ghost — Ethereal textures that appear and disappear. • Voodoo — Funky, asymmetrical motion with unpredictable attitude. Perfect for pads, guitars, synths, vocals, drums, ambience, and creative sound design. Features • Motion-focused audio processor • Six unique movement engines • Organic evolving modulation without repetitive LFO cycles • Stereo animation and spatial movement • Dynamic tonal evolution • Character-first interface with six intuitive controls Movement isn't something added afterward. In Kinetic, movement is the sound. Controls Motion — Overall amount of movement Drift — Slow evolving organic variation Width — Stereo movement and spatial expansion Flow — Energy and speed of internal motion Character — Select one of six movement engines Mix — Blend dry and processed audio
