Wow, this will rival a lot of VSTS...seems like an amazing synth...anyone downloaded it yet?
• Mix and match any combination of 6 synthesis engines to either emulate your favourite synths of yester-year or build a synth ready for the future.
• Dual-wavetable engines also feature 9 phase modes, wave folding, and deep unison controls modelled on vintage hardware synths.
• Built-in wavetable editor gives you the ability to tweak, morph, and hand-draw your own custom wavetables, with each wavetable supporting up to 256 frames.
• FM engine offers 4 operators with a selection of 12 modulation paths. Each operator can be loaded with any waveform from the factory or user library, and can also self-modulate via the feedback dial.
• Sample and Granulator engines both let you load samples (either imported or from the factory library) and control precisely how they are chopped, triggered and layered. Both also feature the same powerful unison modes available in the WT engine.
•Highly configurable 32-slot modulation matrix featuring precise mix/max ranges, self-modulation (via the amount target), plus configurable response curves and layer modes. Simply long-tap any parameter to set it as a Mod destination!
• Full suite of versatile control sources which includes: 4x MSEG-style looping curve envelopes, 4x LFOs, 4x step sequencers, X/Y pad with motion recording, 8x Macro dials and a powerful arpeggiator inspired by Kirnu Interactive’s Cream.
•The EFX rack lets you build your own insert effects chain using any combination of the 16 built-in FX modules. Modules available at launch include delay, reverb, distortion, chorus, OTT compression etc. Note - FX parameters can also be targeted by the mod matrix, unlocking the possibility to program ‘per voice’ modulated effects.
• All presets, wavetables, samples and other settings are stored in the Files app, making bulk import/export, backup and community sharing quick and easy.
• All of this is housed in an irresistibly designed 4-tab UI that makes synth programming quick and fun.

Looks kind like Rob Papen Blue III in terms of capabilities

Its buy the guy who did the 'Cream' arpeggiator VST (I remember that!) - also an iOS app now!
I'll probably download and give it a go- its AUV3 so should be good with AUM etc- I just got TWIN3 as an AUV3 and I have to day my iPAD is starting to sound like a real synth workstation!

Nice synth, but no MPE…

I don't think there is a massive demand for that on iPads (not sure why, lots of fun with my ARAE touch)
Are any iOS apps MPE compactable?

There are more MPE synths on iOS than on Mac. I have 40 of them and there are more… Perfect companion with my Sensel…
I often get just the iOS synth if the desktop is too expensive…

Surprised this can't seem to be installed on my M1 Mac (not showing in the Appstore)

I am the same, but you cant beat it for traveling/holidays/garden - any time you cant be in the studio! Since AUM came out I have abandoned or sold all of my portable/travel toys.

Of course... there's no one right way so enjoy!
I can go in the studio when I want. And when I travel, my laptop, linnstrument, babyface pro and headphones fits easily in a backpack and in the overhead bin. That's a great portable/travel setup, has all the same plugins and DAW, and all files are interchangeable.
AUM is great and I recommend it to peeps I know who want to use an iPad. Borderlands is my favorite music app on iOS. I do use Borderlands and my iPad Pro as a hardware synth.

I guess its an interesting dilemma- iOS prices or Studio MAC prices...a lot of developers sell for both platforms and the VST/AU version is 4 or 5 times the price...Atlatnesiti wrote: ↑Fri May 12, 2023 12:47 pm looks ok but where is macOS version?
