What it does

A semi-modular synth built around two oscillators that each switch between saw sync, fractal, FM formant, a transformer model with loadable waves, four wavetable variants, drone and waveguide, plus a sub and noise into a multi-mode filter with distortion. Two envelopes, two LFOs, a sample and hold, sequencers and an arpeggiator route to almost any control through a modulation matrix, and a morph crossfader moves between states.

In the demo

Jade builds up from the init patch, layering two oscillator models against the sub and noise, then walks the filter types, effect slots and the articulation page. She unhooks master volume from the envelope to make the patch drone continuously, then patches sample and hold across both oscillators.

Worth knowing

The unlock is an in-app purchase, and the matrix is where the app actually lives, so it rewards patching over preset browsing. Anyone wanting a quick preset synth will meet a lot of surface first.
