This thing sounds fantastic! Just bought it. Not super flexible, but a very great sounding little synth, so much so it's the first one I feel like actually using as an outboard piece of kit and recording audio from.

Supports the standard stuff, including MIDI and audio copy.

The sound though and the very nice ARP is worth the price even without that.

The LFO implementation is pretty interesting/cool. Since there are only 2 envs for filter/amp, the LFOs can be used as AD envs by selecting the saw waveform and 1shot mode.

Really good product. Better IMO than the others on offer to date.

I am a fan of BeepStreet since iSequence. Just very high quality good sounding stable software for iOS.

Check this one out, it's very good.

They had to change the name, because of a conflict with another synth named "Horizon"..... but yes, it and Additive Synth are IMHO the monsters of the iOS synth world.....

I finally bought it. WOW. Sounds great - like a awesome analog synth with kick butt arppegiator - and it works wonders on the iPad2.

Great synth at a pittance of a price.

My next purchase is the synth by Virsyn (I already own their iVoxel) and now I want to get Addictive synth to round off my collection.

lol.... The "pittance" of a price is amazing to me. The quality of some of the iOS apps is just amazing. Some are so cheap for what you get, it sometimes feels like pirating/Warez ....

I hook my iPad 2 up to headphones, or my amps.... Sunrizer and Additive synth, and heck even iSyn Poly are just a dream. Got all THREE for about $20..... I'm happy to support good developers!

And yes, the arp on Sunrizer is SiCk.....

That was exactly my thoughts. I just picked up the MS20 app too. More money for the MS20, but seriously devs, if you want to sell a lot, keep these prices like they are. At these prices, there is absolutely no reason not to buy the app. I have no desire to jailbreak my iPad with app prices today. Sunrizer hooked up to a big sound system can compete with just about any VA out there. Same with MS20, and all for just a few bucks. Thesevare full featured sound engines you would be paying thousands for if it were hardware. Too cool.

Wow - I was prompted to get iSequence. This app is really great too. Looks like a future update will include a VA synth. that sounds great given what he has done with Sunrizer.

I'm waiting for Sunrizer and Addictive to play audio in the background...I think it's the next step for them. N-log PRO - another really good synth IMO - just had an upgrade that allows this. Now I can use an app like StepPolyArp to control it and bring either to the front without loosing sound!

iSequence is a great progam too - I wish it would operate in the background as well.

This is a great & much needed feature for the iPad music software. Very cool development
