Thoughts on Polywave


I've been playing with Polywave for a little while now and I quite like it. It is no secret that I like noise making apps, and this is a nice noise maker, there's no doubt about it. You can make some interesting sounds with this app and if you understand what an oscilator, filter, envelop and LFO are then there is no learning curve whatsoever to get going with it.


If noise makers are your thing you should take a look. Here's a brief reminder of the specs.
