auGEN X

I’ve downloaded a lot of different function generators. This is the best one all the other ones are like all trying to have ads and for like the interface is just horrible or it’s the AUV3. This is perfectly great.

So I’m having issues with this app running as an audiounit. I use cubasis 3 almost exclusively if that is useful info. While triggering auGEN x and adjusting parameters the adjustments will not commit. For example, moving a slider from 143 Hz to 87 Hz immediately jumps back to 143 Hz. Every time auGEN x is triggered the changes that I have made to certain parameters will not stay at the adjusted level. Other that that I like the concept of this app, some of the parameters are slightly cryptic to me. This is sort a strange phenomenon to me because I feel like I am a well seasoned synth tweaker. It’s kind of rare for me to not feel like I understand what is going on with parameters in synth apps. I think I have figured it out and the manual is very good but the icons don’t imply the association’s with the functions to me. ‘Fixed’ ‘Freq Sweep’ and ‘Level Sweep’ are my main issue. This in no way takes away from the app, the only real problem is some of the sliders jumping and unable to commit to new values running as an audiounit.

This is a great app for sound design. You can exercise precise control over the waveforms it generates and use them as fodder for your modular synthesis explorations. Combine this app with FAC Envolver to generate useful evolving MIDI sequences to trigger and control other apps. Great for use in apeMatrix where you can modulate the parameters which opens up all sorts of possibilities. The pan, volume, sweep, and impulse controls plus being able to choose different waveforms along with their frequency range and sweep characteristics are very useful. The in app manual details the app’s functionality.
