Hexagonal Field Interface

  • Play notes on a beautiful hexagonal grid arranged in musical scales.

  • Touch position controls volume, stereo panning, pitch detuning, and waveform morphing.

  • Distance from hex center affects volume dynamics for expressive playing.

  • Customizable with different keys, scales, octave ranges, and grid sizes.

  • Perfect for both performance and sound exploration.

Physics-Driven Generative Music

Physics-Driven Generative Music

  • Add bouncing balls that automatically trigger notes as they collide with hex nodes.

  • Adjust ball count, speed, and size to create different musical densities.

  • Perfect for ambient soundscapes, meditation music, and generative compositions.

  • Let physics create evolving musical patterns while you shape the sound.

  • Combine with manual touch playing for hybrid performance techniques.

Advanced Wavetable Synthesis Engine

  • 10-voice polyphonic synthesis with wavetable oscillators.

  • Morph between waveforms using the angle of your touch for dynamic timbres.

  • Global self-resonating ladder filter with analog-modeled warmth and self-oscillation.

  • Attack/Release envelopes optimized for ambient textures and long releases.

  • Shared reverb bus creates signature spacious ambient character across all voices.

Advanced Wavetable Synthesis Engine
Expressive Real-Time Modulation

Expressive Real-Time Modulation

  • Touch distance from hex center modulates volume dynamics.

  • Horizontal finger position controls stereo panning for spatial movement.

  • Vertical position adds pitch detuning for expressive pitch bends.

  • Touch angle morphs between wavetable positions for timbral changes.

  • All modulation amounts are adjustable for personalized playing styles.

AUv3 Plugin Compatibility

  • Use Ova Synth as a plugin in your favorite iOS DAW.

  • Works in GarageBand, Logic Pro for iPad, AUM, Loopy Pro, Cubasis, BeatMaker 3 and others.

  • Full automation support for all parameters.

  • Full MIDI MPE (Multidimensional Polyphonic Expression) support.

  • MIDI input maps to the same expressive parameters as touch control.
