Synth for paraphonic arp effect

[Deleted User][Deleted User]
in General App Discussion

Around 8 minutes into this vid, the guy shows the note cycling effect of an arp pattern on the paraphonic synth.

Do we have any iOS synths that can do this?

    Can’t the Arpiculator in Factory do this?

    Drambo? :)
    (OT- The Pro 3 is indeed an amazing synth).

    Will check that out thanks.

    Drambo! You telling me it’s going to be released in my lifetime?! :p

    I am not sure if there are any synths with a paraphonic mode on iOS?

    One way I can think of, off the top of my head, to get the sound of a paraphonic synth is to adjust the tuning of each oscillator of a mono synth like a Model D independently. You can automate this to get some lovely sounds.

    If you work out the CC values to match the tuning offsets in the oscillator bank you could use something like StepBud to "play" the oscillator offset and get the paraphonic effect sequenced. You can also automate the Mixer, turning oscillators on and off or adjusting the mix. Combine all those automations and you can get close to the effect in the video if you had the patience.

    The obsidian synth in NS2 has oscillator tuning in steps, but I can't get Obsidian to sound anywhere near as nice as Moog Model D for this kind of thing. The Model-D manages to get the nice phasey/beating oscillator sounds with ease. I've not managed that so well with Obsidian which in my hands sounds sterile by comparison (although I'm sure those that spend more time with it than me can dial it in nicely).

    I think I’m just going to save up and get one after hearing this!

    But then you won’t be spending that money on apps...

    You'd need a synth which has a single filter/envelope that all oscillators go through. not sure if any IOS synths do this, or have a mode for that. One of the analog modelling ones might.

    Korg iPoly can apparently do this. I'm waiting until their stuff goes Au3, but might be worth investigating.

    I have a Berquential Circinger Pro-1. It's ⅔ of the Pro-3 for the price of the Pro-3's mains lead. ish. And it's paraphonic. (2 note as it has 2 oscillators)

    The Behringer doesn't have wavetables but you could theoretically add a cheapish modular wavetable synth via the external in and get most of the way to a Pro-3... Also the Pro-1 works as a MIDI to CV converter so you can run an additional oscillator or 2 with any number of eurorack VCOs to make the Pro-1 into a multi oscillator beast.

    In the meantime I have managed to convince myself I don't need to do this -- I really don't need to go down the modular rabbit hole! Besides, apart from the cash aspect I don't have enough time to make music as it is... (I have more than enough toys, just not enough time to play. :-( )

    But I'm loving the Pro-1.

    And it's fantastic for instant Yazoo nostalgia.

    I also have one other analogue mono synth and it's also paraphonic -- Novation Circuit Mono Station. It is so much fun. The paraphonic mode is great and also sequencable via the built in sequencer. And it has parameter lock on every step, including patch change.

    It's stupidly good. I'm surprised they're not more popular. I love using it to sequence with the Pro-1 (it has a CV Gate sequencer built in) especially when I'm tired of looking at pixels.

    Interesting. I’m surprised.

    Yeah for the price of the Pro 3, I could get 5 different Beringer desk top synths!
