older iPhone friendly midi capable synth/oscillator with the most controls on a single page?
I recently purchased a Microbrute (MB), which is pretty cool itself, but what's great is that it does midi out/thru and has an audio input. So, I've been playing around controlling my older iPhone via the MB and routing audio from the phone back to the MB. It's been pretty fun so far, however the synth apps I have are multipage which is not very congruent with the hands on one function per knob of the MB.
What's a good app that has most controls on a page, or even a simple oscillator that responds to midi? There's a few tone generators on the app store, but they don't seem to be midi capable.

Sunrizer XS, Animoog for iPhone, Magellan Jr
Brute LFO and Lemur
Thanks. I should have specified what apps I already have. I've got cassini, animoog, sunrizerxs, adn magellan jr. Cassini's edit page for a single oscillator is the best so far.
I have brute lfo as well, but that's just for lfos and pretty cool to use with the MB's patchbay, but I don't believe it makes audible tones. Lemur seems to be more a controller, no?
Moog's Filatron would be ABSOLUTELY PERFECT for my needs except that the VCO frequency does not respond to midi note input!
You can also try MobMuPlat. I haven't tried it on an iphone but it has some interesting free modules.
I don't think you're going to find too many single screen iphone synths. You might consider something like MIDI Designer to create a single screen UI containing only the stuff you care about and pointing it at one of the synths you already have.
Addictive Micro manages to get a lot on the first screen. There's also STRNG
I'd imagine Sir Sampleton could be really good fun too as you could sample the MB and then play it polyphonically (I think; I know the MiniBrute allows this but I'm not sure about the Micro). NanoStudio's Eden is mutli-screen but it also supports sampling+mangling+synthesis.
I don't need anything too complicated, just an additional oscillator with a few controls to accompany the micro brute's single one. Really surprised that filatron doesn't allow midi note control, or kymatica's oscillator app.
There are some 'toy' apps like bebot, beepboop, I am synth, that would also work great, just no midi input.
MIDI control for Filtatron's VFO would be amazing. I vote for that solution!
Monotone delay. But I'm not sure if it has midi in.
Zed synth?
You could actually try iElectribe on iPhone. Every single button has a midi cc. In fact wouldn't that be the perfect solution?
Sorry. Maybe iElectribe is no good because you'll just get short notes. And you can't play it chromatically.
How about Osilab? Maybe has midi in?
Xyntherizer? If it has midi in (not sure)...
Make something in Jasuto?
oscilab doesn't have midi in and xyntheszr can't simply play notes, midi input transposes the key when the sequence is playing.
Thanks for this team effort though!
One of the synths in Caustic maybe?
Caustic is the best bet so far. Especially because I can set up midi such that it controls the on-screen synth, load up a bunch of synths, and just swipe to a sound I like.
Thanks. Forgot about that one.
Sunvox for more complication or SpectrumGen and PixelWave for simpler midi oscillator action.
Cool idea! I've been looking at the microbrute with a lot of interest lately.
The MB sends the clock thru too, so I'm having a lot of fun playing the ielectribe in conjunction with a synth on the iphone.
I picked it up for relatively cheap but was on the fence on keeping it (still within the 30 day return period). But now that I'm repurposing an old iPhone 4s as an additional oscillator, and an old 3GS with Brute LFO connected to the patch bay, I'm definitely hanging onto it.
I'm pretty sure all controls in Filtatron were updated to be midi-learnable. You can access the midi configuration via the About page and then clicking Midi top right to view.

This is smart, one screen, you can set up any kind of synth or sampler instrument, several at once really, and assign each one a different midi channel (and all parameters a cc) and switch among them as needed
Yes, everything is mappable, but pitch is mappable to a CC, not the keyboard. I'd love to be proven wrong though.
Good points spookyzoo and @subluxator. This got me thinking, @spookyzoo... I would love you even more if you managed to make a MIDI Designer template that receives MIDI note input and then outputs the correct CC to send to Filtatron VCO.
=D are ya feeling my vibe here? lets turn Filtatron into a SYNTH!
edit: apologies for going off topic.. Spookyzoo, maybe we could start another thread if this idea interests you?
Ha @Hmtx Probably worth it's own thread.
I'm a bit busy at mo to even think if it's possible, perhaps later tonight. Certainly worth asking Mr Midi @Dwarman, and loads of others. P.Madden, Jessie (TJam).
How about midiflow? Worth looking at.
POIDH.
Pretty sure Audulus is available for iphone now. You can just make whatever you want (or download someone else's).
If you really want Filtatron, background any old OSC app like Sunrizer and then pipe it through Filtatron via AB. Leave Filtatron up on screen and off you go.
Can the Micro send out polyphonic MIDI data?
ha, my pic is too large to attach. Yes, the micro sends polyphonic velocity sensitive data. Funny because the MB itself is monophonic and does not respond to velocity. Unfortunately the knobs do not transmit midi.

Good idea. Pretty sure MIDI Flow could do this. If Filtatron uses a regular CC we'd just have to figure out a) root note at some given CC and then how many CC value changes per octave. If it's 12, done and done—just need an offset. If it's something odd like 19 or 32... We might need @johannesD's help.
So I was thinking after I found this app that you could hook up each knob to any parameter(s) in any synth (or multiple synths or effects) and be able to control them from one big button or tweak each smaller button (up to 12)

Let me know what you think or how it turns out.

That's a great app, thanks for the head's up!
This doesn't have midi note input, unfortunately.
