ThunderBeast vs Dialed In

Rain, wind and thunder, all synthesized in real time. No samples, no loops. Every storm ThunderBeast makes is a storm happening for the first time. EIGHT CITIES, EIGHT SKIES A New York night storm. London drizzle. A Miami squall. Seattle mist. The Bangkok monsoon. A Reykjavik gale. An evening shower in Kyoto. A Cape Town storm front. Choose a preset and the scenery, the weather and the colour of the panel change together, so the city you are listening to is the city in front of you. TEN WEATHER CONTROLS Precipitation and drop size shape the rain; wind speed, gust and turbulence move the air. Storm rate decides how often lightning happens and storm energy decides how heavy each strike lands, while cell distance walks the storm from directly overhead out to the horizon. Humidity and pressure change the whole feel of the sky, and width and gain finish it. FOUR KINDS OF LIGHTNING A crack at close range, thunder that rolls, strikes that repeat, a sheet of light across the whole sky - each one carrying the swell that comes back off the landscape. The bolt is drawn on screen as it happens and changes colour as the storm moves away. No two strikes are ever the same. PLAYABLE WEATHER Play from C2 up and the rain rings at that pitch. Chords and melodies come out of the falling rain. Play below C2 and lightning strikes instead: pitch sets the distance, velocity sets the weight. Twelve hardware controller presets are built in; the mod wheel is storm energy and the sustain pedal is lightning. STANDALONE AND AUv3 Use it on its own, or as an AUv3 plug-in in GarageBand, Logic Pro and others. START FREE Three cities are free from the first launch. ThunderBeast Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription: it opens the remaining cities (eight in all) and adds recording and export to WAV, AIFF and FLAC.

Dial in the tones you love. Dialed In helps you understand guitar rigs and keep track of the sounds you make. Explore a library covering around 90 guitarists, with plain-English stories about their gear across different eras. Learn what shapes the sound, follow the pickup and pedal chain, and see illustrated amp controls. KNOW WHAT'S KNOWN Settings are marked Documented, Reported, or Starting point. A question mark means a value is unknown - we don't guess. Read the sources behind the details, including where accounts disagree. GET CLOSE WITH THE AMP YOU OWN Find practical starting points for commonly used home amps. Adapt them to your guitar, pickups, room and playing. Results vary; a recording's sound involves more than knob positions. SAVE YOUR OWN SOUNDS Keep settings, notes, a photo and a short recording together. Say your settings out loud with on-device voice input, or enter them by hand. Every knob shows its number and its clock position. READY FOR THE GIG Put your sounds in setlists and use the stage view: big numbers you can read at arm's length, one song at a time. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. Your saved sounds stay in the app on your iPhone. We don't collect your recordings, photos or notes, and we don't track you. Dialed In is a reference and sound notebook. It doesn't process your guitar signal or control your amp. An independent guide, not affiliated with or endorsed by any artist or manufacturer.
