Nave is a powerful wavetable synthesizer designed for iOS that pushes the boundaries of conventional wavetable synthesis. Its sound engine features two unique wavetable oscillators capable of producing sounds that range from perfectly periodic to richly noisy textures. Nave excels at creating formant-focused tones and includes an integrated speech synthesizer, allowing it to generate vocal-like sounds and even sing. This innovative approach enables users to explore a broad sonic palette and craft expressive, dynamic tones.

With over 500 presets crafted by renowned sound designers, Nave offers an inspiring starting point for musicians and producers. The intuitive user interface is designed to suit both beginners and experienced users, making wavetable creation and editing engaging and accessible on the iPad’s generous display. Users can manipulate wavetables by analyzing audio files or using features like spectral stretching, rotation, and shifting. The synth also includes factory wavetables from classic hardware sources, complemented by new ones that leverage Nave’s advanced capabilities.

Beyond its innovative oscillators, Nave incorporates a distinctive oscillator module with the Überwave, which thickens sounds with up to eight detuned oscillators. The filter section delivers the classic, warm Waldorf tone with multiple filter types and slopes, while the drive section offers flexible placement in the signal path for shaping sounds from subtle warmth to aggressive distortion. An extensive modulation matrix and real-time controls provide dynamic sound shaping options, and the unique 'Blades' keyboard interface enables expressive polyphonic modulation. Additionally, a built-in 4-track recorder supports music creation and sketching directly within the app.
