U&I Software has recently relaunched its sound design and music production software for Mac. Recreated from scratch for the AppKit application platform, MetaSynth CTX is now back with support for Catalina and Big Sur.
Want to create sound visually? MetaSynth uses a collection of processing and arranging tools for manipulating sound, sequencing music, and composing songs or soundtracks.

- Effect Room:
- Automatic file management with a given project.
- The entire state of the effects room is now auto-saved for any given project.

- 16 Bit Image Support – increases low amplitude representation, subtlety in re-synthesis, and improved analysis fidelity.
- Four new choices of color/luminosity display.
- Additional custom tuning and scales.
- Image Filter:
- 16 Bit image support to increase low amplitude representation, subtlety in re-synthesis, and improved analysis fidelity.
- Four choices of color/luminosity display.
