JAX ONE XModulator Extended vs PolyHarp Usage & Stats
The JAX ONE series is a new collection of analog modelled audio units (AUV3 app extensions), available on all Apople Silicon platforms and devices.
JAX ONE XModulator Extended is a classic ring modulator effect with integration of an analog modelled unison oscillator as modulation source and some further extensions for sound modulation and sonic refinement. It can be used as a creative sound creation tool and special effect processor. It features a freely navigatable 3D user interface in the style of a modular rack synthesizer.

This build is truly 'universal', meaning, unit is available for:
- MacOS (Silicon)
- iOS (iPhone)
- iPadOS (iPads)
- visionOS (Apple Vision Pro)
Please note, that AudioUnits (AUv3) require a supporting host application to perform.

PolyHarp is a virtual musical instrument and a thought experiment.
It takes the basic idea of a chorded zither and extends it to large numbers of chord choices, made out of any kinds of intervals, multi-string courses, fretting, and massive polyphony. It's a testbed for harmonic theory as well as a great multi touch simulation of the good old "idiot zither" you have in the attic. PolyHarp can translate many of these innovations to MIDI and is a powerful MIDI controller.
PolyHarp comes with a large number of presets, exploring many variants on stringed instruments, but its real power is its ability to build strange new chords, layouts, and controls into otherwise impossible instruments.
PolyHarp supports Audiobus 3, including saving setups, and IAA.
