The buzz about the noise about the GET THIS!

This app is the most totally anarchic fun you can have without it being illegal! This app will make buzzes, squawks, blasts, and just about any synthesizer noises you could possibly want.

I am quite new to making synth patches from scratch, so I have a whole lot of learning to do yet, but since all of the controls are at your disposals, you can learn along the way what each control does. For those of you just starting out like I am, I recommend starting with the presets (included with the app), then tweak away. The other option is to use the “random” button, to get totally surprised at what sound comes out!

You can also save your new sounds easily in the user bank.

I have other virtual keyboards for more “musical” sounds. So for that extra punch, plus the learning experience, this is the app for you.

GET. THIS. APP! You won’t regret it!

Sleeper Hit

Someone else mentioned this was a sleeper. It sure is.

So much of a sleeper that another dev named their app “Scythe Synth” a couple of years ago. I’m going to guess they did that without knowing there was already an app in the App Store called “Scythe” (that also happens to be a synth!)

Shouldn’t that be against the rules though? I own the other one and it’s cool too, just don’t dig having two apps with the same name that are both instruments - ya know? But I digress.

While researching the release dates of both apps mentioned above, I saw that this thing has been out for 8 years?! That is simply astounding. This app has excellent sounds and some of the features like being able to modulate/record are unique still to this day.

My biggest question is - why have the devs not made another synth since this came out? We’d love another offering from you guys. I’m sure you have a market!

Great job!

Awesome! Another update!

Nice to see an update in 2024. This is one of the best iOS synths IMHO!

Update: Nice to see the recent updates! This is one of my favorite synths. Host it in AUM and drive it with the Bram Bos sequencer. Very cool! Just hitting random and tweaking will give you some great sounds you've never heard before. Just needs a way to choose the MIDI channel it responds on. Otherwise, I love it!
