The panels support up to five fingers at once, and you’re able to hold the sounds with the tap of a button. Howl also includes Audiobus support.

Ananda provides you with a new and unique ambience every time. Start off by spinning the wheel to determine your session’s duration. Tap on the wave icon at the bottom of the screen to select a binaural theme. Ananda includes a total of 13 themes to choose from, each with dynamically generated sounds. Each theme also includes a brief description and duration recommendation. You can then choose from a variety of sounds to accompany your binaural tones. The sounds will be chosen randomly, but you can narrow them down to your favorites. When everything is to your liking, hit play and enjoy.

You need a way to recharge. Its randomized approach will keep things feeling fresh.

You want to be more in control of the sounds you hear.
