bent.fm lite: circuit bending software

bent.fm is a full FM model of a circuit-bent synthesizer. bent.fm allows the user to tweak classic circuit bending modifications like fine and octave-decimated clock bends, and experiment with more esoteric bends. Circuit-bent distortions and algorithmic sequences can be created by (im)proper connections on the bend matrix. Reroute digital serial information through the base chip set (a numerically controlled oscillator) and extra logic gates (NAND and XOR, binary counters), and experience architecture-level bit crushing. For anyone interested in circuit bending, glitch sounds, industrial music, and post-procedural art.

PLEASE NOTE: On the iPhone version, bent.fm only allows control of one of the oscillators due to space constraints. If you do not have an iPad, please get bent.fm lite instead, it's free!
On the iPad version, bent.fm lets you re-route connections between both the oscillators.

Audiobus and IAA supported!

GEM
Mr. Cropper

After some exhaustive App Store perusing for experimental music apps I stumbled upon this gem. Now I don’t have to bend my sk1 again and again... get this app folks of the fervently musical.

Great fun!!!

Hope y’all can make some more of point towards the coding for this synth! It’s cool to create a series of patches than play the sounds into delays/cassette decks. Good intuitive noise machine, feels inspiring to use.

This is one of my favorite noise making apps.

I’m a circuit bender hobbyist, and this app is the closest thing that you’re ever going to find to an actual circuit bent keyboard. So much glitching and noise! I wish there was a VST like this for my PC DAW. I use this app a lot with Garageband, which is kind of my “hobby-fun, music maker, idea maker” for when I’m on the go. This app is free, and there are no annoying adds. And the sounds are amazing. You never know what you’re going ti get out of it. It’s a serious, “happy accident” generator.

Once fun app, now silent.

Works sporadically if it all on the latest iPadOS

Very novel, creative, cool & elegant

Can't wait to see full version!

Goodbye cruel soldering iron.

How can so much audio excellence be programmed for a mere IPhone!

Midi would make my life with this app!

Another Fun, Useful Ap ...Messed up by an Upgrade
BozoToo

I was just getting into this. It is actually a great little program for making lots of great noises. Then I upgraded ...and now it glitches, cuts in and out, and not in a good way. Even the basic sine tone randomly sputters. Sadly, the upgrade made the AP useless just as I was getting really into it.

OVERLOOKED!

Amazing app. We record these sounds at our extradimensional pizza farm and all the llamas just love the experiences these 1-10bit sounds provide them. We have reason to believe that the sounds generated by this app have amazing dynamic vibrations we can only try our hardest to comprehend. All praise be to a Llama.

How does this have so few reviews?

This is fantastic. Just the thing for generating circuit-bent samples or simply annoying people on the train. Fans of the Logique Analogique app would love this.
