Tincture Synth by Mike Gazzaruso (Released)

TINCTURE is an expressive instrument for iPad — a field of wormholes (tiny, playable black holes) scattered through a living 4D swarm, over a warm, ever-shifting drone. Pluck them, bow them, and watch the light bend and fall into each one. Less a synthesizer, more a small universe you play with your hands.
Built for the sound-obsessed.
WORMHOLES YOU PLAY
Every note is a wormhole — a little black hole glowing its own colour, pulling the surrounding swarm in, gravitationally, in 4D. Pluck one and it flares; bow another and it sings. Crisp event-horizon edges, a coloured core swirling inside — unmistakable, and beautiful. Shuffle the whole field anytime.
HOLD A BOW — IT COMPOSES ITSELF
Bow one wormhole and don't let go. After a few seconds it collapses into a singularity that pulls every other wormhole toward it — and an endless, self-generating sequence ignites across the field, perfectly locked to tempo. Move your finger to shape it live: up/down for density, left/right for variation, press harder for velocity. Lift off and it keeps playing.
NOVA — SPEAK A SOUND INTO BEING
Tell NOVA what you hear — "a glassy frozen choir with a long tail" — and it designs the whole instrument around your words. No menus. No knobs. Just intention, answered. Runs entirely on-device; nothing you type ever leaves your iPad.*
EXPRESSIVE TO THE FINGERTIP — MPE
Bring an MPE controller and every wormhole bends, slides and swells on its own. Press deeper, glide sideways, lift away — the most expressive way there is to play it.**
A DRONE THAT BREATHES
Underneath everything, a warm chord glows and slowly drifts. Whatever you play lands inside the harmony — nothing can sound wrong.
MOVEMENT, MADE VISIBLE
Open the modulation matrix and wire slow tides and breathing waves to anything — a wormhole's pitch, the drone's colour, the light in the field. Free-running, or locked to your tempo.
THE FULL RACK
Echo, reverb, chorus, drive, motion, compression — every dial that shapes the body, the air and the shimmer. Plus a library of hand-made sounds to open and make your own.
LINK HOST — PLAY IN TIME, EVERYWHERE
Run Tincture as an AUv3 in your Mac DAW, hit Link Host, and your iPad follows the DAW's transport — tempo, play, stop — in real time over Wi-Fi. Phase-locked and zero-lag, on any DAW, with nothing to set up. (Host = the macOS AUv3 · Client = the iPad standalone.)
STANDALONE & AUv3
Play it on its own, or load it as an AUv3 instrument inside your favourite host. Sends and receives MIDI; every parameter is automatable from your DAW.
- NOVA runs on-device and needs a recent iPad with on-device AI (iPadOS 26 or later). Everything else works everywhere.
** Requires an MPE-compatible controller (ROLI Seaboard, LinnStrument, an MPE keyboard…).
Crafted by Mike Gazzaruso.

Comments
I’m intrigued but wary. A bit more info here, though I’d love some deeper/clearer explanation without the AI drivel: https://tincture.app/
Also, would be nice with a demo video without an added beat, to hear what this actually sound like. But still, intrigued…
Those wormholes gonna get such a bowing
