- 🆕Beat Kitchen Harmonic Synth first spotted by AppInsiderGermany (found via developer)
- 📦Beat Kitchen Harmonic Synth version 1.7.2STRING MODULE — a physical string with its own controls: Force, Ring, Body, Damp, Overblow, Modes
and Break.
OVERBLOW — push a string past its limit and it breaks into a higher register, the way a flute or a
bottle does. It is a real break, not a fade. Lean in further and it climbs the harmonic series:
octave, twelfth, double octave. Force sets how hard it breaks.
BOW AND PLUCK — play the string by hand. Drag the bow, or click to place it; speed sets force. A
stab re-attacks a note already ringing.
CAPTURE — hold a chord and it stays silent until you strum it with the bow or a pluck, like an
autoharp. Held notes show as dots on the keys. Hold Capture while you play to set the string's
default pitch.
SCOPE — the trace holds its position, and the window follows the note: one cycle at the bottom of
the keyboard, more as you climb.
ANALYSER — faster to react, low harmonics resolve separately, and the dense top of the spectrum
reads as a shape instead of hash.
PARTIALS AND FOLD IN THE POP-OUT — both now have full-size controls when the Partials panel is
opened, for routing and adjustment by finger.
Also: sliders no longer draw their handle over their own label, controls stay usable in small
plug-in windows, and general fixes and improvements throughout.… more - 🆕Beat Kitchen Harmonic Synth released on the App Store

Beat Kitchen Harmonic Synth downloads
Worldwide, per day, and installs to date. The band is open; the exact number is free with an account.
How this is calculated
Apple publishes no download counts. App Store downloads come from chart positions and daily rating growth per country, calibrated on Google Play install counts; lifetime installs from ratings worldwide × installs per rating. Confidence is the chance the real number is within half to double ours.
Active users
All platforms, worldwide. Free with an account.

How this is calculated
Monthly users come from lifetime installs across every store, fitted on monthly active user figures companies publish; daily users = monthly × the typical daily/monthly ratio for the category. Confidence is the chance the real number is within half to double ours.

Review momentum
20/100
faster than 0% of Music apps
Review momentum (0-100) blends how fast the app collects ratings compared with other apps in its category (60%), whether that pace is speeding up (25%) and what recent raters give it (15%; recent stars well below lifetime pull it down). Ratings counts are read daily. A jump usually means a launch, a feature, ads or a new review prompt.
About Beat Kitchen Harmonic Synth
BKS Harmonic is an additive synthesizer that builds sound from individual overtones, then gives you
tools to shape, scan and filter them by harmony. Load it as an Audio Unit v3 inside AUM, GarageBand,
Cubasis, Loopy Pro or any AUv3 host, or run it standalone.
A TUNER THAT KNOWS ABOUT STRETCH
Tune mode turns the scope into a tuner: it names the note it hears and shows how far sharp or flat it
is in cents, with a ring that closes as you land on the pitch. It tunes against the stretch curve
rather than equal temperament, so it follows a real instrument. Stretch shapes the overtones inside a
note; Key Stretch makes the keyboard follow it, so octaves widen the way a piano's do.
FOURTEEN TUNING SYSTEMS, AND A TEMPERAMENT EDITOR
Equal and Just, five historical temperaments, and six from outside the European tradition including
Maqam Rast, Turkish Rast, Slendro, Pelog and the Harmonic Series. The Temperament slider is a morph,
not a switch: fully left is Just, fully right is whichever you chose. Twelve bars show any system as
cents away from equal; drag one to make the tuning yours, then copy it out as plain text. Tunings
save with the preset.
FIVE HUNDRED SCALES
Searchable by alternate name: malkauns, nikriz, bhupali and freygish find the right set.
THE PARTIALS ARE THE INSTRUMENT
The partials display shows every overtone in your sound, and four tools work on it directly. FOLD
sweeps upper partials below the fundamental, redistributing energy across harmonic layers — not a
filter. The OVERTONE SCAN steps a spotlight through individual partials with triangle, saw or random
patterns, and can visit only partials in the active scale. The HARMONIC GATE reinforces partials
whose pitch class matches your chord and suppresses the rest: capture a chord, follow MIDI, split the
keyboard, or pick the notes on the gate's own keys. SCULPT draws the level and pan of every partial,
slides the curve up the grid as a formant, and locks partials in place while the rest moves.
THE HARMONIC VOCODER
Pass live input or a sample through the synth as an effect. Your sound travels through a bank of
tuned peaking bells rather than being replaced by filtered noise: open the Air and the source stays
dry, tighten it and the bands resonate into it. Key Track is the mode switch: on it plays as an
instrument, off it is a fixed filter you can sweep. Aimed at a sample, the bands track that sample's
spectrum as it evolves. One level-matched Blend control crossfades it against the oscillators.
PULSE-WIDTH MODULATION
Set the core to a saw and Source 2 to a saw: the two ramps subtract, which is what a pulse wave is,
and the phase between them sets the duty cycle. Modulate it and you have PWM. A preset in the Utility
folder is ready to play.
MODULATION
A cog on almost every control, so the synth's own engine can drive nearly anything in the interface,
including the display. Sources include velocity, envelopes, LFOs, how many notes you hold, how many
oscillators sound, the synth's own o
