Expressive AudioGenerator AUv3
Author View comments Tags Tags: , ,

Indie audio app developer auDSPr has created auGEN X. You can think of auGEN X in two ways: first, it is a handy utility for making audio test sounds, and second, it is a performable creative sound design tool. On one end use auGEN X to help set up, test, calibrate, and optimize your audio system. On the other end use it to create a wide variety of interesting sounds. auGEN X has a full-featured audio oscillator, a high quality noise generator, and an impulse generator. The simple yet powerful user interface is designed for fast, precise, intuitive control over your signals. auGEN X works both as a Stand-Alone App and as an AUv3 Audio Unit Extension.

I started making this App because as an audio electronics engineer I could not find a single audio generator that does everything that I require AND is an AUv3 Audio Unit. It has developed into a cool tool for exploring sound design. Our goal is for auGEN X to be one of your Essentials in your audio toolbox. We hope you enjoy it and we’re excited to see and hear the cool things that you do with auGEN X.

FEATURES

– Oscillator for creating tone signals
– 3 Modes: Fixed, Frequency Sweep, or Level Sweep
– 4 Wave Shapes: Sine, Triangle, Rectangle, and Saw
– Triangle and Rectangle have a Duty Cycle control (1.0% to 99.0%)
– Triangle, Saw, and Rectangle are alias-suppressed yielding virtually alias-free performance at musical fundamental frequencies
– 10 Hz to 20,480 Hz extended audio frequency range (great for testing subwoofers!)
– Full-featured Frequency or Level Sweep with 5 Sweep Types, settable Sweep Direction, and selectable Repeat or 1-Shot Mode
– Sweep Period has a wide range from 1/1000th of a second to 100 seconds and can alternatively be set as a Sweep Rate in Hertz
– Wide sweep range allows for FM and AM style sounds
– Noise Generator
– 2 Modes: Fixed or Level Sweep
– White Noise or Pink Noise
– Pink Noise conforms to SMPTE Standard 2095-1:2015 Calibration Reference Wideband Digital Pink Noise Signal
– Impulse Generator (useful for checking the response of reverb algorithms)
– Impulse Width can be set in samples

– Works either as a Stand-Alone App or as an AUv3 Audio Unit Extension
– As a Stand-Alone App audio is sent to the iPad’s built-in speakers, the Headphone/Line Output, or to any iOS-compatible USB audio interface connected to the Lightning jack
– Verified to work great in AUv3 Host Apps such as GarageBand, AUM, Cubasis, BeatMaker 3, and Auria Pro
