Nikaya Wavetable and FM Synth1.8 - App Store

Nikaya Synth is a compact, expressive wavetable synthesizer designed for musicians and sound designers looking for flexibility without complexity. It features an 8-voice polyphonic engine, with each voice containing two independent wavetable oscillators and a pair of FM operators. Each voice includes its own ADSR amplitude envelope, while modulation and filtering are handled globally for efficient performance and unified control.

Explore a variety of ways to generate and import wavetables:
- Flexible Wavetable Creation
- Convert images into wavetables using brightness data
- Slice WAV files into multiple waveforms
- Import folders of single-cycle waveforms
- Browse a curated set of factory wavetables
- Generate up to 128 waveforms from a single source
- Sound Design Capabilities

Nikaya offers a focused feature set for building detailed, evolving sounds:
- Two wavetable oscillators per voice with independent wave index control
- Bidirectional FM synthesis using the current wavetable waveforms
- Global ladder filter with a cycling envelope and morphable curve shapes
- Two global LFOs with tempo sync and multiple waveforms
- Clear visual feedback for envelope shaping
- Workflow and Integration

Designed with usability and integration in mind:
- AUv3 plugin support for host compatibility
- iCloud sync for presets and wavetables
- Full parameter automation in supported hosts
