Chromosonic
iPhone / Musique
Chromosonic is a synthesizer where every sound has a genome — and you sculpt its DNA with your hands. Built first and foremost for iPad, it
turns sound design into something you can touch, see, and play.
THE LIVING HELIX
Your instrument is a real-time, Metal-rendered double-helix. Notes ride the strands; seven "genes" — timbre, brightness, resonance, attack,
release, echo and space — reshape the helix as you drag them. Tap a note to switch it off, drag it to change its pitch, drag a gene to morph
the tone. The whole organism responds under your fingers.
MODULATION YOU CAN SEE BREATHE
Double-tap a gene and its modulation atoms bloom around it — depth, shape, rate. Every gene gets its own LFO: free-running or tempo-synced to
note divisions, plus a true sample-and-hold. Dial it in and watch the gene pulse and glow on the helix while you hear it move. No menus, no
patch cables — a living, breathing patch.
GENESIS — DESCRIBE A SOUND
Type a sound in plain words — "warm evolving pad, slight reverb" — and an on-device AI sequences the entire genome for you, then names it.
Fully private; nothing you type ever leaves your device.
IT COMPOSES ITSELF
A generative, scale-locked sequencer improvises melodies that mutate and evolve. Scramble the genome, evolve a patch, breed new organisms into
your own library. Feed it MIDI and it weaves your ideas in.
CLASSIC CHARACTER
A wavetable oscillator that morphs from clean analog through organ and vocal formant to a wavefolded digital edge. A vintage tape echo that
glides the pitch when you change the time, like a real machine. A near-infinite cathedral reverb, and optional glide.
LINK HOST — SYNC TO YOUR MAC DAW
Run Chromosonic as an AUv3 in your Mac's DAW, hit Link Host, and your iPad locks to the DAW's transport — tempo, play, stop — over Wi-Fi.
Zero-lag, phase-locked, any DAW. Your iPad becomes a living modulation surface beside your desktop rig.
BUILT FOR THE STUDIO
- Standalone app and AUv3 plug-in
- 50 factory organisms across ten families
- iPad-first, landscape, made for touch
Note: Genesis (the AI composer) runs on-device and requires a recent iPad with on-device AI support. All other features work everywhere.
