Chipmate-100: calculator synth

A portable chiptune instrument for iPhone and iPad. Inspired by the classic calculator-style synthesizers of the early ’80s.

Chipmate-100 captures the bright, multipulse character of those pocket electronic instruments — instant leads, playful ADSR envelopes, and built-in rhythms with that unmistakable toy-meets-synth charm. Program your own multipulse voice in ADSR, save it, and keep it between the standalone app and the AUv3 plug-in. Flip on BEND when you want the toy to misbehave: starve the clock, chew the pulse, hang a note, fry the DAC.

From simple one-finger melodies to groove-locked patterns, AUv3 routing, and a little controlled chaos in your iOS studio, it brings a calculator synth into a workflow you can play anywhere.
