01
Draw it
Drag sources, effects and controls onto the canvas and connect them with cables. An LFO can move any value; a trigger can flip one.

Patch sound. Ship Swift.
Phonique is a node editor for Apple audio. Wire up players, effects and spatial scenes, hear them live as you work, then export clean Swift for AVAudioEngine or PHASE.
Available on the App Store.
Draw it. Hear it. Ship it.
Three moves from an idea to a sound your app can play.
02
Hear it
The graph plays while you edit. Turn a dial and the sound changes under your hand; meters and a spectrum show what is happening.

Export a Swift package that needs nothing beyond Apple’s frameworks. Add it to your app and call start().

Two engines, one canvas
Build signal chains on AVAudioEngine, or place sounds in a room with PHASE, Apple’s Physical Audio Spatialization Engine. Switch views with one tap, and export whichever your app needs.

Signal chains
Players, generators and the microphone; EQ, reverb, delay, distortion, pitch and mixers; LFOs, triggers and if-then listeners; speakers, recorders and a live spectrum.

Sounds in a room
Sources around a listener, walls of wood or glass that muffle them, rooms that ring. Hear the room binaurally on headphones, and export the scene as PHASE code.
engine.defaultReverbPreset = .largeHallWhat is PHASE?
PHASE stands for Physical Audio Spatialization Engine. It is Apple’s framework for dynamic audio in games and apps, where sounds react to the scene around them: a wall in the way, a room that rings. Phonique’s Space view lays out that scene and exports it as PHASE code.
Give sound a path · 15 seconds
Read what happens
In PHASE, Footsteps in snow travels along the visible path in front of the listener, then returns. Listen with headphones to hear the movement.
- Footsteps follow the path. [Steps crunch through snow]
- They return along the same path. [The footsteps move across the stereo field]
- Listen with headphones. [Snow crunches and wind blows]
Every Apple screen
One project moves between them. Fold the Duo to play, unfold it to edit.
