Wavesmith builds your entire signal chain on demand into a native instrument smaller than this webpage. Every effect, every filter, every oscillator — assembled the moment you need it.
Your entire effect chain — oscillators, filters, envelopes, modulation — compiles into a single native instrument — small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, powerful enough to replace a rack of gear. No interpreter. No runtime overhead. Just your sound, built on demand.
8-voice polyphony with ADSR envelopes, resonant filters, and multiple waveforms. Math becoming sound in real time.
16 velocity-sensitive pads with 3-voice synthesis and pattern sequencing.
Direction, rate, octave range, gate. Turns chords into rhythmic patterns synced to tempo.
7-stage voice: oscillator, waveshaper, filter, LFO, envelope, delay, master. 42 sculptable parameters.
4-voice formant vocal synthesis modeled on Peterson & Barney research. Voice families auto-select by octave — bass, tenor, alto, soprano — each with tuned formant resonances, vibrato, and vowel shaping.
Wavetable synth with harmonic morphing oscillators, 3 routable LFOs, FM/ring mod, warp distortion (fold, crush, spectral), and multi-mode resonant filter. 72 parameters.
360-degree polar interface for non-destructive audio sculpting. Drag in any direction to reshape amplitude, drive, spectral tilt, and playback speed simultaneously along a continuous timeline. Catmull-Rom curves. Fully undoable.
Granular sampler with live audio capture, 4-grain voices, Hann windowing, and vintage warmth. Trigger pads fire grains scattered across a 1.5-second buffer. Loop, reverse, ping-pong, pitch-shift.
Design your own instruments from scratch. MIDI CC learning, MPE expression, velocity, aftertouch, pitch bend, 89 plugins, and a compiler that turns your ideas into native code in 0.02 seconds.
89 bundled plugins and growing daily. Each one compiles down to pure arithmetic — typically under 1 KB. Chain them together, and the entire chain fuses into one. No function calls. No memory allocation. No overhead.
Highlights: cellular automata, granular processing, Karplus-Strong string synthesis, spectral freeze, waveguide reverb, strange attractor, FM synth — and dozens more.
Beta ships within two weeks.
Smallest compiled effect. Smaller than a text message. Your CPU processes it instantly.
Processing 1,024 audio frames through gain. 21 ms of audio in 1.4 millionths of a second.
Full 7-stage Sculptor voice — oscillator, waveshaper, filter, LFO, envelope, delay, and master.
Compile any effect to native instrument. Change, recompile, hot-swap — while audio is still playing.
Impossibly small. Every compiled effect is measured in bytes, not megabytes. Your processor never breaks a sweat.
Hot-swap while playing. Recompile and swap effects into the live signal chain without stopping audio. Atomic transition — no glitches.
Rock-solid timing. The audio thread never stutters. No garbage collector. No jitter. No surprises mid-performance.
No cloud. No account. No telemetry. No subscription. Wavesmith runs entirely on your Mac. Your audio files never leave your disk. Your projects never touch a server.
Your audio files are never modified. Every edit is a reference — trim, gain, loop — all reversible, all instant.
Bounce to 16, 24, or 32-bit WAV. The same compiled signal chain renders your export.
Tracks, effects, parameters, automation — one portable file. Open it anywhere.
Every action is reversible. Full history. No anxiety.
Pick your output device, set your buffer, choose your sample rate. Instant switching, zero hassle.
Waveforms and spectrograms rendered in real time. See your sound without touching your audio budget.
Wavesmith doesn't ship a fixed synth engine. It ships a compiler. Describe what you want — oscillators, filters, envelopes, modulation — and it produces a brand new synthesizer in 0.02 seconds. Every synth is unique. Every synth is yours.
