KinkyBeepII is a synthesizer to create the various sounds. It is suitable to make the sound effects or the system alert sounds.
To create complicated sounds with usual synthesizers, you need the special knowledge about sounds. But using KinkyBeepII, you don't need the special knowledge. All you need is only clicking popup menus and sliders on the windows as you like. You can create dynamic, weird, wiggly, or natural sound, etc., with an easy operation.

The sounds that you create is your works. You can use your sounds as alert sounds for Macintosh, sound effects for multimedia works and musical works, or can edit with other sound editor, because you can save the sounds as system sounds.
