Airteq

A real-time sound design instrument that physically models air flowing through virtual pipes, with MPE support.

Airteq is not a sample library and not a traditional synthesizer. It generates sound in real time from a physical model of air flowing through virtual pipes.

Dynamic aerophone modeling

Airteq generates all sounds in real time by physically modeling how each pipe reacts to the wind supply, based on our recently developed technology of Dynamic Aerophone Modeling.

Modulate the air

In Airteq, modulation does not simply move a filter: it changes the behavior of the sound source itself, influencing the model as it sounds.

Build your own instrument

Different families of virtual pipes are available, each with its own timbre. Combine flutes, reeds and mixtures that respond differently to the way you modulate the airflow.

Free your expressivity

Airteq responds to velocity, pitch bend and aftertouch, and fully supports MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE).

A galaxy of presets

Airteq includes more than 170 carefully crafted presets designed to showcase the instrument's creative possibilities. Browse evolving pads, cinematic textures, organic airy sounds, rhythmic pulses and MIDI Polyphonic Expressive presets — then tweak, transform and save your own variations.

Features

• Dynamic Aerophone Modeling: Generates sound in real time using physical models of air flowing through virtual pipes, rather than relying on pre-recorded audio samples.
• Custom Pipe Combination: Allows you to design custom instruments by combining different virtual pipe families—such as flutes, reeds, and mixtures—each reacting uniquely to airflow changes.
• Advanced MIDI & MPE Support: Offers expressive playability through standard velocity, pitch bend, and aftertouch, with complete support for MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE).
• Extensive Preset Library: Includes over 170 curated presets spanning cinematic textures, evolving pads, airy organic tones, and rhythmic pulses, all fully customizable.
• User Preset Customization: Enables players to easily tweak, transform, and save personalized sound variations directly from existing presets.
• Real-Time Air Flow Modulation: Modulating parameters directly alters the behavior and timbre of the physical sound source itself, rather than applying basic static filtering.
