Aether Synth

Aether Synth is an AUv3 synthesizer, sequencer and sampler for iPhone and iPad, built for creating expressive sounds that move.

Start with a sound, combine two sounds into something new, introduce motion, build a pattern, capture a sample, or simply play. Aether brings synthesis, sequencing, sampling and performance together in one instrument designed to keep ideas moving.

CREATE YOUR OWN SOUND

Build rich synth patches for pads, basses, leads, textures, atmospheres and evolving sounds.

Aether is designed to make sound creation immediate. Shape a patch directly, explore presets for inspiration, or use Random Sound to discover combinations you might not have reached manually.

The result can become a finished sound or the starting point for something completely different.

DUAL — TWO SOUNDS BECOME ONE

Dual lets you combine two independent sounds into a new composite instrument.

Choose a sound for A.
Choose another for B.
Blend between them and shape the result.

The two sides can complement each other, contrast with each other, or create something that neither patch produces alone.

Save your favorite Blends and return to them later.

MAKE SOUNDS MOVE

Aether is built around motion as part of the instrument.

Use Motion and Random Motion to animate sound over time and create patches that evolve rather than remain static.

Movement can be subtle and organic or become a major rhythmic part of the sound.

This makes Aether especially suited to evolving pads, shifting textures, rhythmic sounds and patches that respond like performances rather than snapshots.

SEQUENCE IDEAS

Turn sounds into patterns with Aether's built-in sequencer.

Create melodic and rhythmic phrases, experiment with different rates and musical feels, and develop ideas without leaving the instrument.

The arpeggiator provides another immediate way to transform held notes and chords into movement, while tempo synchronization keeps rhythmic material locked to the music.

SAMPLING

Capture and work with audio directly inside Aether.

Use sampling alongside synthesis to bring recorded material into the same creative environment as your patches, patterns and performances.

A sample can become part of a larger musical idea instead of living in a separate workflow.

PERFORM

Aether is designed to be played.

Use the keyboard and performance controls to shape sounds in real time, then connect a MIDI controller when you want a more traditional playing experience.

Velocity, sustain and expressive controls allow patches to respond dynamically instead of behaving like static presets.

DISCOVER INSTEAD OF SEARCHING

Sometimes you know exactly what sound you want.

Sometimes you don't.

Random Sound and Random Motion make exploration part of the workflow. Generate a new direction, keep what works, reshape it, combine it with another sound in Dual, and continue from there.

The goal is not randomness for its own sake. It is getting from a blank idea to something musically useful quickly.
