Old question: Selection of Synths (or sonic content)

Moog Model 15 should be on every list.
Magellan allows for FM but it's not an FM synth. Phasemaker is the easy answer for FM at this point (IMNSHO).
Your list, + Sunrizer + Animoog + Phasemaker is a pretty righteous arsenal of synths by any measure other than app junkies.
And maybe Vince Clarke.
Virtual analog. It's amazing but it's not going to fill a hole in your set up (though it might replace some stuff!).
I meant your collection of synths is a pretty righteous arsenal of synths by any measure other than app junkies or vince clarke.

Elastic Drums is a synth that recently added sample import and sample packs via IAPs
Poison-202 is a digital synth
Patterning uses samples, and can import sample kits.
Keep in mind the special sauce of Patterning is the patterns it can create, which can be sent via MIDI to your synth of choice
Depends how deep down the granular rabbit whole you want to go but Samplr will do granularish things and it's monstrous beauty of an ios classic that no music iPad should be without.
according to the infamous quote 'some said dead will live longer' ... just a couple of days ago I used SamplR as an essential tool in a collage of sounds.
If it won't run on current hardware some day I don't mind.
Any iPad Two has enough juice to run it, so it will simply get a refurbished new home.
GrainScience (same developer as Mitosynth) is worth mentioning.
Don't forget Borderlands granular. You can touch the music. Its super futuristic and you can create great soundscapes and drones. Love it.
Thanks for those! Always interested in getting more resources to explain synthesis methods to people.
A surprisingly useful overview is part of the online help for Apple’s Logic Pro X. Not only are all the instruments mentioned also in MainStage but the overview gives a pretty decent idea of some of the differences between some methods. Things get a bit tricky when you start mentioning “wavetable”, particularly with “vector synthesis”.
(Speaking of which... People here tend to find iWavestation rather dated, because of its association with the 1990s. But its synthesis method is quite specific, though it sounds like it may bear some similarities with Nave. Thing is, Korg still actively develops iWavestation and Nave has an uncertain future.)
Speaking of unusual methods, Animoog really is one of a kind. In a way, it’s like a combination of a wavetable/wavesequence synth and a virtual analog/subtractive synth. People rave about Model 15 but Animoog might remain my favourite iOS synth.
Ended up in this thread while searching for mentions of Arctic ProSynth. Have yet to try it but it’s on a relatively short list of iOS apps which support MPE, Multidimensional Polyphonic Expression. There’s a couple of romplers in there (like the iFretless series) but it does cover a few synth methods as well.
