PNEUMATIC

What it does

A single voice noise instrument built around a pressure tank. Pushing the on-screen lever fills the tank, PIPE tunes the resonant noise, LEAK adds a whistle that climbs with the pressure, and BLEED sets how fast it drains when the lever drops back. Pushed all the way across, the lever latches into a sustained drone. A MIDI keyboard transposes the whole machine per note, velocity and aftertouch push the lever, every control takes MIDI CC, and user presets save in the app.

In the demo

Jade opens three instances in AUM, then rebuilds one from nothing with every dial at zero so each is audible on its own. She routes the lever, leak and pressure to separate mod LFO channels over MIDI CC, then stacks the result with Undersong, WAIL and Transfigure.

Worth knowing

One sound, pushed hard, with no scales or chords underneath it. Jade is direct that it is avant garde and not for everybody, so anyone after a tuned, playable synth is in the wrong app.
