Waveguide Flute

Features
Read full description

Waveguide Flute turns your iPad or iPhone into a physically modeled wind instrument — a Cook/STK-style waveguide flute you play from an on-screen piano roll or a MIDI wind controller (EWI). FEATURES • Authentic waveguide physical modeling — not a sample library • Deep Sound page: shape jet ratio, reflection, loop damping, noise, and more • Expression controls for live performance: blow intensity, breathiness, pitch bend, auto-vibrato • Built-in reverb with 7 factory spaces • On-screen piano roll with velocity and breath control • Full MIDI support — notes, breath (CC#2), pitch bend • Compatible with Akai EWI and other MIDI wind controllers that send breath and pitch bend • Remembers your last settings, with one-tap reset to defaults • Bluetooth MIDI support, plus a configurable Breath Control input (Mod Wheel or custom CC) for keyboard players without a wind controller Play it like a real wind instrument: breathe into the sound, bend pitch, add vibrato — all rendered by a genuine physical model, not recordings.

SEPBLOOM LABS

Features
Read full description

SEPBLOOM LABS brings images, sound and touch into one quiet creative space. Import an image or create a short text composition. Explore a continuous particle field with orbit, zoom, attraction and depth. Choose organic motion presets or fluid textures from the MOTION panel. Import your own music to drive breathing, curls and flowing movement. Song analysis guides gradual transitions into floating particles during energetic passages, then back toward the image as the music settles. PLAY turns the canvas into an instrument. Choose a sound, root and scale, then play the multitouch keyboard. Shape expression with vertical finger movement, explore chords, or adjust envelope, filter, LFO and space. Felt, Clear and Dream offer different starting points. Record particle videos with imported music or your live performance, then preview, share or save them to Photos. Light and dark themes keep the focus on your work. Works locally on iPhone and iPad. No account is required. Music files are supplied by you; use content you have permission to share. AI music generation is not included in this release.
