Diego Capoccitti had released AlchemDie, available for $4.99.
Spill the tonic into time, let it decay through the filter. AlchemDie is an alchemical synthesizer with generative drones and lush lo-fi textures. Now on iPad and iPhone.
Inspired by the patch-and-pray spirit of experimental sound boxes, AlchemDie turns a single tonic oscillator into evolving drones, brittle lo-fi echoes and unpredictable textures. It is built to be played by touch and by chance: nudge a knob, trigger a gesture, and let the patch surprise you,.
Sound engine
- TONIC oscillator with coarse, fine, interference and modulation depth
- TIME delay with lo-fi BBD/PT2399 character and companding
- DECAY, ABSORB and BLEND to sculpt the feedback path
- FILTER with vactrol-style slew for organic, rubbery sweeps
- ACTIVATION and AGITATION (LFO) for self-playing generative movement
- Stereo widening and output level
Gesture pads
- Six one-touch gestures to instantly reshape the sound:
- CRUMBLE . SURGE . FREEZE .VOID . FLUTTER. BURN
- Tap to throw the patch into a new state — perfect for live performance and happy accidents.
Whether you are scoring, sound-designing, or just chasing strange and beautiful noise. AlchemDie rewards curiosity. Less a synth to program, more an instrument to explore.
Features include:
- Standalone app and AUv3 plug-in
- Runs inside GarageBand, AUM, Cubasis, Drambo and any AUv3 host
- Pinch-to-zoom interface, optimised for iPad and iPhone in landscape
- 25 factory presets to get started, plus your own savable patches
- MIDI input: play the tonic pitch from your host or controller
