Not only does Shaper Synthesizer by Autumn Rock sound amazingly good, it also offers a deep synthesis engine packed into a minimalistic and easy to use interface. The true power in this iOS synthesizer app lies in it's modulation section and we're having a proper look at it.

Shaper - Synthesizer is available for iOS (iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch) and Android

Great video, Jakob! I keep forgetting I can grab those various elements on the screen and drop them on the control knobs… That part of the synth is not intuitive until you see it in action.

Yeah that very vital feature is kinda hidden. Might be a good idea for the dev to implement a really short first-time-launch tutorial like many other apps have.

How is the preset sharing with this synth? Is it easy to import/export preset banks?

It's patch by patch for both import & export as far as I know...
https://www.dropbox.com/s/qk6eotmmx2qqkj5/ChipArpC075.shaperpatch?dl=0
(Quick Arpeggio using the LFO tuned to +12,0,+7 & +5 semitones).

If Shaper Synth is installed it should open automatically in it or after a tap after downloading...

Thanks - import and export of banks would be much more useful.

@AutumnRock would it be possible to implement the following:

• Create custom banks
• Add the ability to import and export entire banks in one go

This would make it much easier to share presets with the community. Thanks!

@richardyot Thanks for the feedback! Yes. This one is definitely on my to-do list for the next update.

Awesome - thanks! I'd like to make some preset banks for this synth.

@AutumnRock I can honestly say that this has already become a firm favourite. So easy to use and understand - I recommend it to anyone wishing to learn subtractive synthesis.

That's why I got it. Didn't know it existed until the Haq attaqed it but it just hit me as a good learning tool. And it is, and sound great and is easy to understand and use.

I agree. Power, ease of use and clarity in operation is critical for a great synth… really for any software.

Haven't seem this one before. Looks promising.
