OktaDie — Organismic Touch Synth on iPad | Drone Demo, No Talking

video upload by Diego Capoccitti

Follow-up to this post.

"OktaDie is an 'organismic' synthesizer for iPad: eight touch-sensitive voices, a cross-modulation matrix, a dual modulated delay and an overdrive — with no keyboard, no scale and no quantisation anywhere in the signal path. No talking in this video: just hands on the glass. Everything you hear is OktaDie running standalone on iPad (AUv3 plugin versions included), played entirely on the eight pads — no MIDI keyboard, no sequencer, no external processing.

🎛️ ABOUT THE INSTRUMENT
The eight generators are closer to a vintage electric organ than to a VCO. TUNE moves each voice continuously across a huge untempered range, SHARP morphs the waveform from triangle to square, and the envelope shapes pitch and waveform as it moves instead of just opening a VCA after it. Voices work in four pairs and two groups, each pair picking its own modulation source — another pair, the Hyper LFO, or the instrument's own output. TOTAL FB feeds the post-distortion signal back in and turns the whole machine, delay and drive included, into one giant FM structure. Noise, bleed and drift are features here, not defects: it never produces exactly the same sound twice.

👆 PLAYED BY TOUCH
Eight multitouch pads replace the keyboard. Play with several fingers at once, slide sideways to glide from one pad to the next, press harder to open the envelope further — OktaDie reads the contact area of your fingertip, and Apple Pencil pressure where available.

📱 iOS VERSION (iPhone & iPad)
Standalone app + two AUv3 extensions: OktaDie as an instrument and OktaDie FX to run your own audio through the delay, drive and feedback loop. Works in AUM, GarageBand, Cubasis, Drambo and Logic for iPad.

💻 DESKTOP VERSION (Mac & Windows)
Available in AU, VST3 and AAX formats for all major DAWs. Presets are shared with the iOS version.
