8 of 11this synth is very cool. i wish there was a way to get microtonal tuning, not just semitone, differences between the four oscillators. <br/><br/>still, very, very cool. many excellent sounds in here.
In a world full of ios synths … this just jumped right to the top. OMG amazing! I was blown away by Animoog, Nave and WaveMapper and thought it could get no better … I was wrong!
Very deep editing features and great sounding sound. Not just another subtractive synth. You can program the x y envelopes to make your sounds morph or turn them off and freestyle morph. The effects and arp are great as well. This would be a great synth in any form but the fact that it's on my ipad makes it truly great.
Till it get's Good To Ya!<br/><br/>Great port of one of my favorite Desktop soft synths. Some of the presets are curiously bland; a few dice rolls later, not so much. Cube Synth excels in the are of evolving soundscapes. Great for soundtrack-in-your-mind type stuff, and that's before you through it under the AudioBus...
You guts at virsyn are amazing,it's truly great to work with your software. I hope all of your apps make it iOS eventually.
I like Virsyn's Addictive Synth and AudioReverb, and bought this new synth right away. Theoretically, this should be a great instrument for evolving pads. In practice, though, I found the presets disappointing -- and there are a lot in the pad category. Maybe that's my fault for not taking the time to learn the instrument and program it to my liking. And if there were only five other synth apps in the app store, I would do that. But in my opinion, this is something to buy after you've already tried Sunrizer, Nave, Animoog, or Thor. You could argue that Cube is ahead of those other synths conceptually. (I'm not sure you would win, but you could argue it.) To my ears, though, the other synths sound smoother and, at the same time, more sinewy. I'm open to changing my mind, but for now I'm giving it four stars: good but not elite. They are fixing bugs, which is a good sign.
I will readily confess that I own far more synth apps than I realistically need or use. But if I were tasked with actually picking a synth or two to actually create some music, Cube Synth (or any of the VirSyn synths) would be an excellent choice. <br/><br/>Cube Synth may actually be my least favorite of the (now) 4 VirSyn products, but it's still easily a 5-star product. The great thing about VirSyn apps is that they are friendly to the most obsessive sound designers ever, or somebody completely ignorant (or trying to learn) that wants huge libraries of varied sounds without having to make them from scratch. I'm probably more in the latter camp :)<br/><br/>The sounds in Cube Synth are rich and powerful. Aboslutely love the "dice" button which randomizes synthesis settings and creates a brand new preset on the spot (which you can save if you like it). How cool is that? The master effects suite is top-notch, and best of all the VirSyn apps take up virtually no storage space and work with everything. You'll regret some of your app purchases, but not this one.
I am a big fan of Addictive Synth and had high hopes for Cube. However I find it very hard to use. I spent 15 minutes trying to find LFO settings to no avail. LFO depth knobs apply a static parameter offset. Trying to load "analog" waveform presets does nothing. Very strange experience... VirSyn, you can do much better.
