BIGGER and BETTER than ever before! The ORIGINAL iPhone synthesizer now upgraded for the iPad!
Whether you are a seasoned pro or a newbie, miniSynth PRO will make the rich tones of analog synthesis come alive on your fingertips.
miniSynth PRO is a fully-featured, professional-grade virtual analogue synthesizer. It can work as a polyphonic or a monophonic synthesizer at the flip of a switch. It incorporates an improved version of the time proven zero latency "push-pull" Yonac keyboard algorithm that powers our existing synthesizers, and features a highly customized version of our original analogue-clone "Vincent" tone shaping filter. More importantly, it marks the debut of our brand new cutting-edge YASSE (pronounced "Yah-See") modular sound sequencing and synthesis engine, developed in our labs over the last three years.
As a step up on its predecessors, miniSynth PRO is designed as an FM / Subtractive hybrid synth. Among other innovations, it features our special dynamic waveform selection algorithm, individually parameterized voice processing, and carefully selected waveforms driving its dual interactive oscillators and its five-destination LFO.
miniSynth PRO offers many other features to render music making easier. They include a dedicated arpeggiator module, dual individually adjustable keyboards, user control matrix with configurable assignments, and 82 presets designed by actual musicians. Did we also mention that users are able to record their own performances, as well as save and recall any number of their own presets in our brand-new patch design format?

8 of 25Audiobus? That would be great!
very nice synth. love the programable x/ypad. but please, make the x/y programability "stick" to each and not be global for all patches.
Wow, can this be possible? This synth was great not so long ago, but there are some others that are surpassing this one. The way the menus are placed is kind of quirky and the arp takes some use to but still, this synth has its place and before relegating it, you need to spend time tweaking the knobs, see what other sounds you can get.
This has to be the most wild application for IPad. The synth sounds and plays incredible. I've written two songs using it and also recorded with it. It's nuts. I noticed that if I am using it for a long period of time the app crashes and freezes. I really hope that the issue gets resolved in an update because I love this application and I am using it as a instrument. I just can't get over how good it sounds.
Loved this software from the moment I opened it. However, it started bugging out. It gets distorted and the midi panic button won't work. Would give it five stars if this was fixed and app became 100% stable. Could use this for live shows, but not if it unexpectedly because an awful wall of crap.
Will it replace my ancient Jupiter? Probably, when the latter dies out. Does it sound good? YEAH! Am I a heretic when I say the lugging effor for controller + iPad < hardware synth? No, it's a fact. Definitely get it if you're remotely into music.
Sounds are great and tracking by touching screen is good but kept getting stuck notes using my e-mu xboard25. Like every note. Only sending on messages no note off. A list of comparable controllers or midi set ups would be nice. If they can get this to work with midi controllers flawlessly they have a game changer.
I love this synth! I've been using it to jam with my band some, and I hope to use it live soon. Polyphony works really well... I don't use the monophonic mode very often, but it's cool that it's there. I think it's pretty easy to move around the screens and the recording feature is pretty simple to use. One thing I like about this synth over other iPad synths is the keyboard... I like that you can slide your fingers across the keys.
