My Favourite Synths...
Odyssei
iSEM
Animoog
Model 15
Nave
Would love to hear opinions on what I'm missing 
Comments
Poison 202 is quite fun.
Nave is fantastic, sunrizer and magellan can sound VERY lush, and of course im in love with im1!
Mitosynth.....it's mighty
I could count to at least 30 synth/drumapps that is totally awesome to iOS...
We are so spoiled!
Played around with the soon obsolete synth Cakewalk Z3TA+ today, and, that too is sounding phenomenal!
My most used Synth on iOS is definitely Viking. Blamsoft's offerings are 100% quality across the board. Their AU effects are really good too.
Good thread. I'll never lose excitement about the fact that a freaking iPad is loaded with awesome synths. It's so much more fun than on the desktop.
Sunrizer, Nave, Addictive Pro, FM4, Thor. They all have a great interface, and are a joy to work with. Moog are very well crafted, i just don't find myself working on them very often for some reason. ODYSSEi would lead in sound quality, but is done lousy by Korg. A shame for that price and sound...
Interesting observation: Just one of my favs is also available as AUv3. I think AUv3 sucks for synths, because you lose so much screen real estate. There should be an updated implementation, where you have the full screen layout available!
Model 15, iMS20, iPolisix, Twin2. Twin's powerful, probably the most powerful of the bunch, but I wish its interface was optimized for the iPad: everything is so small!
iVCS3
You need a badass FM synth, that is for sure!! FM4 for best sound and interface. DXi for just 2 bucks also well worth it. Phasemaker AUv3 and 6 operator, but not as easy to handle, because you never see all Operators at once. Menudiving thanks to the AUv3 screen limitation...
Current faves are DRC, TF8 (and Troublemaker of course but not a traditional synth).
DRC and TC-11 are my current faves both universal! I think I need something wooji in the next sales.
A lot great ones but my vote goes to Mitosynth too.
The only iOS synth i can't replace with any desktop tool i found.
Sound design dream
Exactly. I just created an awesome soundscape within a few minutes and thought that it had taken me 10X more time in some of my bigger synths.
I love Mitosynth
Does it have a fine tune dial and does it ever go on sale?
One that I actually use to have fun on rather than make music with is Arctic ProSynth. I like using it.
You mean microtuning? Like importing .tun files?
Sadly, no!
Nah just a simple, global +/- 50 cents dial.
I just spotted that EHX Mini Synthesizer has fine tuning capability so I might give that a whirl. Anyone got any opinions on it?
I think that it's not great. With that many high quality synths in the app store, what is appealing on this fringe synth that is marketed as "affordable"? FM4 is just 6,99, Sunrizer 9,99 etc
Oscar, Twin 2 has a master tune knob with precision of , in theory, 0.001 semitone, but which is in fact less than that, because you cannot type in the tune you want, having to move around that very small knob: let's say it's 0.01, which is still a lot.
The advantage of using Twin 2, perhaps, is that it can be easily automated in Auria.
...or at a push DRC (beyond my current mistress Nave and my old lady Thor).
I think @flo26 created some Mitosynth patches with guitar waves. I always wished I could have those. Anyone ever got some old these presets?
I will recuse myself
Samesies.
LayR: my go-to for textural pads, cinematic sequences and all things synth experimental
DRC: for downright destruction and ceiling rattling
iVCS3: for communicating with Trappist
Analog Kit and Audulus: for hare-brained ideas and noisemakers
Electro-Harmonix Mini-Synth: for nostalgia and simplicity
And of course all the other amazing offerings; Model 15, ODYSSEI, etc. We are lucky people.
Mine: KRFT
OK OK, I know it's not a synth but it has a pretty good one built in.
iSEM
Mitosynth
DRC
Sunrizer
Virtual ANS
Unfortunately it's locked away in planet Auria, although it's good to know this. It's very easy to forget about Auria's built in plugins!
