Beat Kitchen Harmonic Synth
iOS Universel / Musique
Beat Kitchen Harmonics is an additive synthesizer you play by shaping the overtone series itself. Instead of filtering a fixed waveform, you open, fold, and re-excite the harmonics directly, and hear the tone change as you move.
Sculpt the partials by hand, route LFOs, envelopes, and velocity through a modulation matrix to almost anything, and watch the waveform and spectrum respond live as you play. It all runs on the device, with no account and nothing uploaded.
For sound designers, producers, and anyone curious about where tone actually comes from.

A big thanks to Gavinski of Gavinski's Tutorials for his detailed feedback on the UI, and to Rolf and Fliiva, who helped pilot this into a full AUv3. Keep the suggestions coming — there's big stuff still planned.
Quoi de neuf dans la dernière version ?
Movement you can see, modulation you can read.
Thanks as always to everyone playing and sending notes. This one is about seeing and steering the motion in your sound.
New
- LFO 2 is now per-voice — each held note runs its own copy, so chords shimmer and evolve independently instead of in lockstep (opt-in per route).
- Motion in the partials matrix — held notes leave a live per-voice dot and fading trail, and a routed LFO traces its orbit, so you can watch modulation move the sound.
- Modulation you can read at a glance — every mod source carries its own color and a tag for the module it lives in; tap the tag to jump to it. The Poly LFO now pulses at its rate in the picker.
- Re-synth is now modulatable — route anything to the dry/re-synth blend.
- Show help by default — a Settings toggle to keep or hide the scope's help readout.
Fixed
- Turning off Latch now stops the note and any noise it was making.
- Tightened crowding in the Audio In panel and the top bar.
- Partials hover-solo now starts off by default.
