Musical for artists. Precise for scientists. Easy and FUN for everyone.

Indie audio app developer auDSPr has created auGEN X. You can think of auGEN X in two ways: first, it is a precise tool for making audio test sounds, and second, it is a performable creative sound design instrument. 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!

Social Media

New auGEN X is featured in Jakob Haq's interview with experimental artist Hainbach who uses test equipment to make beautiful ambient music.

iOS Music Maker Adam Hardyman made a couple of awesome videos with auGEN X running in apeMatrix.

Check out The Sound Test Room's live stream of auGEN X Version 1.1. Doug Woods uses apeMatrix modulation and pairs it with shimmer reverbs for delicious sounds.

Dj Puzzle from iPadLoops made this sweet Demo Review. And when the video quality didn't meet his exacting standards, he re-did it! Respect, Jason!

Perplex On made this incredibly artistic Dark Glitchy Drone using auGEN X and Shoom on the iPad.

Doug Woods of The Sound Test Room kindly made this nice Pre-Release Demo. Thanks, Doug!
