SynthMaker
A modular synthesizer in your browser and on the Mac. Wire it by hand, play it, and watch your sound draw light.
In your browser on any computer, iPhone or iPad, nothing to install. On a Mac, a download that updates itself.
Oscillators, filters, envelopes, FM operators, effects and visuals, wired on a live patch canvas. Start from over 100 ready-made sounds, or build your own from nothing.
A cello with no samples: a bow, a string and the measured body of a real cello. A grand piano from hammers, strings and a soundboard.
Visuals drawn by your sound: oscilloscope light, shader art and kaleidoscopes that move with every note.
In each lesson, Ned builds a sound or a visual in front of you, inside the app, then stops for you to try.
Load the AUv3 synths and effects you already own into the patch. Their notes arrive on a wire, their settings become knobs, and SynthMaker's own generators can play them. New in the beta, with a tutorial.
The patch, the knobs and a keyboard side by side. Play from MIDI keyboards, or from your computer keyboard on Mac.
Jorge Costa created SynthMaker for Windows in 2005, a visual way to build synthesizers from modules. This is a new SynthMaker, written from scratch for iPhone, iPad and Mac, with its own audio engine.
Follow along on YouTube, where every tutorial builds an instrument or a visual live in the app.
