iceWorks Mersenne | How to Use This Gorgeous, Easy FM Bells Synth AUv3 for M1 Mac, iPad, iPhone

Hi good people! This is a 30-minute spoken walkthrough / tweaking demo / tutorial on Mersenne by iceWorks / iceGear, a lovely-sounding and very easy to program AUv3 synth for iPad, iPhone and M1 Macs or higher. It uses FM synthesis, optimized for the creation of bell-like sounds, with separate control of the attack and body sections of the FM tones. There is also a noise oscillator which, like the tone oscillators, can optionally be run through a resonator, and there are nice inbuilt FX and an excellent arpeggiator. Runs on iPad, iPhone, M1 Mac or higher (in a suitable AUv3 host). AppStore link can be found below.
