Vascular vs InkyTune

Vascular is a canvas-based electroacoustic instrument. Create sound generators and processors by touching the canvas, then connect them to build the signal path. Moving a node changes its stereo position, while each node provides its own synthesis, processing, modulation and rhythmic controls. FEATURES - 55 synthesis families, including subtractive, FM, additive, granular, spectral, physical modelling, wavetable, wave-terrain, pulsar and stochastic synthesis. - 3 macrosynths, complete synthesizers in a single node: resurgent (2 scenes, 3 oscillators, 2 filters, effects), bayarea, a West Coast voice, and poundhard, an FM drum voice from kicks to industrial percussion. - A complete DX7 implementation. - Holos, a special node that combines elements and parameters from other nodes to create a new semi-modular synthesizer instantly. - A sample player for loading your own loops, with time-stretching, forward and reverse playback, stuttering, splicing and tape-style manipulation derived from classic electroacoustic techniques. - Sampled acoustic instruments that generate melodic loops in the session's tonal key. - Drum synthesis, a 303, a 16-oscillator supersaw and live granular processing. - Microphone input for processing external sound. - 71 processors, including filters, distortion, delays, combs, phasing, diffusion, reverb, spectral freezing, convolution, pitch tracking, harmony, vocoding, spectral delays, tape loops and broken-media effects. - Host your own AUv3 instruments, effects and MIDI plugins as nodes on the canvas, their settings kept with your sessions (in-app purchase). - 7 controllers that play or move other nodes: a melodic sequencer with a piano-roll editor; an arpeggiator that turns a single arpeggio into a fugue across up to 6 voices; a drum machine with fills and breaks; a shift register; bouncing cars whose collisions are notes; a Game of Life swept by a playhead; and an LFO controller with 3 LFOs on each of up to 6 nodes. - Kick side chains with adjustable depth, and a master bus compressor. - An effects sequencer with 4 lanes of any processor, each with its own length. - A randomizer that creates whole patches, transforms what is on the canvas, expands it or dismantles it, and deals or removes LFOs, gates and motifs. - A padlock on every parameter, keeping it out of reach of the randomizer and every LFO. - Mute and solo: tap a node to mute it, hold it to hear it alone with its chain. - Angiogenesis, which moves nodes, rewires connections, adds processors and changes their parameters automatically. It never removes your voices, cuts a controller's connections or modifies microphone nodes. - Adjustable mutation rate and automatic adaptation to the processing capacity of the device. - A shared session clock with tap tempo and an independent clock division for each rhythmic source. - 27 scales from 4 musical traditions, plus microtonal tunings imported from Scala files. - Guided paths for restricting generators and processors to a selected musical territory. - A searchable palette, in alphabetical order, with favourites. - Rebalance, which spreads the outputs evenly across the whole stereo field. - A multilayer gesture looper. - 32 pattern slots with adjustable morphing between complete instrument states. - Sessions that store the network, settings and tonal key together. - 48 levels of undo and redo. - Recording, playback, renaming and sharing of takes. - A transport that stops active sound sources while allowing effect tails to decay naturally. AUV3 Vascular also runs as an AUv3 instrument in AUM, Loopy Pro, Logic and other compatible hosts, and follows the host's tempo and transport. The interface runs full-screen in landscape orientation and is operated directly with your fingers. The main buttons remain along the top of the display, away from the hand interacting with the canvas.

You don’t need music theory to finish a song. InkyTune is a digital music sketchbook you can actually play. Draw a line with your finger or Apple Pencil, and your stroke becomes a rhythm- and scale-aware melody. InkyTune then builds matching chords, bass, drums, and atmosphere around it. Finish drawing, tap Play, and hear your idea become a complete arrangement. DRAW YOUR MELODY • Horizontal movement controls time • Vertical movement controls pitch • Even a short tap can create a note • Timing and pitch are shaped into a musical result • The rise, fall, and movement of your original line are preserved • Draw with your finger or Apple Pencil FIND YOUR VIBE Choose from Lo-Fi, Pop, House, Chiptune, Ambient, Jazz, and Synthwave. These are more than visual themes. Every style has its own tempo, groove, drum pattern, chord language, bass movement, sound character, and energy curve. SHAPE THE MUSIC, NOT THE THEORY • Energy: calm to intense • Mood: dark to bright • Complexity: simple to rich These three approachable controls make audible changes to tempo, dynamics, harmony, rhythm density, and arrangement detail—without exposing a complicated mixer or piano roll. KEEP WHAT YOU LOVE Mute, lock, or regenerate individual chord, bass, drum, and atmosphere layers. Lock the parts you like, then try another random seed to explore a new variation. Your drawn melody remains yours. PLAY, SAVE, AND SHARE • Play, pause, stop, and loop • Automatically save and restore your latest project • Create and manage multiple musical sketches • Export real WAV, AIFF, or M4A audio files • Share your finished track with the system share sheet • Designed for both iPhone and iPad Core creation and music generation run directly on your device. No account, cloud service, or internet connection is required. Want to go further? InkyTune includes Doodle Synth and Doodle FX extensions for compatible AUv3 music apps. Save a song’s style, controls, and random seed to the AUv3 Shared Library, then recall its matching sound preset inside either extension. One purchase. No subscription. No in-app purchases. Draw a melody. Make a song.
