About SYNTH

What is it?

I've designed this software as little experiment. My main goal was to have a portable tone generator on my phone. As the name "Caveman Synth" suggests it is (still) fairly primitive. With this I can generate sounds to use in my samplers. What makes it cool is that you can select a root note and scale for the pads to generate musical groups of sounds.

How to install:

If the tool does not ask for installation, then just add it to your home screen to make it work offline. Search on "how to install a PWA" if you have issues.

How to update:

When connected to the internet, the tool will check for updates and install the latest version. The new version will be available on restart. Some updates may require a full de- and reinstall and may reset saved parameters. If you have issues after an update try to reinstall it and also clear the browser cache for synth.dev-zoo.net and try again.

Troubleshooting:

First make sure that you are using a browser that supports the required features. Clear the browser cache and data for synth.dev-zoo.net and reload or reinstall should also fix most issues. If that all fails, please contact me in the WhatsApp group and send me a screenshot and some information about what device and browser you are using and how to reproduce the issue.

Known Kinks:

Here are a few kinks and my ToDos:

  • UI isn't super responsive
  • No MIDI yet
  • Multitouch can be quirky
  • Phasing and clipping with some waveforms when played fast.
  • No patch saving and no master FX.
