…is this the Toneboosters thread?
Sorry, I’d like to include a feature that involves making chocolate donuts.
If you expand it out to other types of user sensor data or even include questioners for people nearby, then you could use it for art installations or generative ambient music in social gatherings (pubs).
What if it started with every possible feature and configuration, and the community voted to remove them bit by bit until it approached being usable
The gps mention got me thinking, what about a community modulation pool? So you’d connect that to any parameter, and you could choose random modulations other users are producing right at that moment. Choose range, friends, location, merge multiple..
I think more is better!
Other modulation sources...
Oceanographic data such as tide, surface conditions, wind, and buoy data.
Weather data both live and historic.. What would the wave forms look like by tracking 24 hour air temperatures from specific locations around the world for long periods of time, and speeding it up? Wind direction and speed for long time periods applied as x-y coordinates.
Planetary orbital data can be sped up to create audio wave forms from eons of past and future Planetary motions.
Daily normal seismic data recorded from detectors from around the world could make good wave forms for bass sounds.
This synth can have an Alarm Clock Mode.. And it would play wake up music generated from the morning weather outside your home. You could select different local data sources to be incorporated in your wakeup music like different instruments. How's the traffic that mornings commute? Info gathered from highway traffic sensors detect traffic speed and congestion and you'll wake up hearing the sounds of the traffic conditions in your unique morning musical composition.
You can’t have a synth without a Wobbulator. The bar as been raised by Agonizer.
input a reference track of any genre, and it completely creates a new arranged, mixed and mastered track for you in the same style. you can change the sounds if you want, but why even bother.
The wobbulator will wobble the rythm of your heart. iPaceMaker sold separately.
I would love to have a synth which would be called MiMiC which would allow me to connect to any hardware synth and download all the patches and settings and save it directly to MiMiC on iOS. I could then have all my favorite gear with me on iOS in its purest and most editable state.
The tech allowing me to perform such a feat would be called Doppelgänger. As each new user connects MiMiC to a hardware synth, a snapshot is taken of the synth and is uploaded to a cloud based database which serves as a look up to replicate the synth in MiMiC. This look up would allow MiMic to feed Doppelgänger and grow the database for all users. Input would provide a foundation for the demand of mimicking synths based on hardware configuration.
As far as pricing there would an initial cost for the MiMiC synth and all hardware derived patches would be free for existing users of the gear. IAPs would be available for all users for synth patches of gear they do not own. To unlock free patches users would just need to connect MiMiC to their gear and the patches would be made available them as needed.
And yeah…you could walk into a Guitar Center or Synth shop, plug in MiMiC and get those patches for free 😉
Just a thought experiment on what I’d love to see in a synth based on user input 👊🏼™️™️
-Au
-Lightweight on cpu and app size
- Obviously sounds amazing
-Multiple types of synthesis combined, ie, wavetable, granular, virtual analog, etc…
- Multiple Soundwaves to choose from maybe even draw the sound wave
-Multiple Oscillators, multiple layers of multiple oscillators, sub oscillator, noise oscillator
-Great sounding filters, wide selection of filters and options on how they are applied, draw filter
-Mod matrix, multiple LFOs, multiple Envelopes, draw/touch the envelope
-Everything is exposed and midi mappable, everything via cc or note
-Automation is visual, and shows it on knobs, etc moving
-Able to Record automation. Record knob movements over time by hand, then have trigger or loop
-MPE
- keyboard with key/scale or chord settings
-Preset Creation Randomization, As well as templates, and a lot of usable onboard patches
-Clear, easy, simple folder and file/preset management, easy to save, create folders, manage &Move
-Easy to share, import, export presets and banks, hopefully with lots already available online because it can use patches or reads patches from virtual/hardware Synths that have been around a little
-Unlimited empty spaces for saving your own presets
- Sequencer/Arp with many options, many patterns, key, scale, transpose, etc.. & Random patterns
-Clean, easy to see, use, touch and understand GUI, with a clear flow to the order of operation
- minimal pages, but understandable if more are needed with all these features.
-Simple yet clear user manual (see hammerhead manual)
In my head I’m thinking of some insane hybrid of Mela 2, Alpha, Continua, Quanta, synthmaster one/2, Mynth (draw waveform) Kaspar (layers), and a TB App.
That was fun
An iOS Roland V-Synth…updated with new millennium features contemplated by the OP.
…and Pappadocrock’s suggestions, too! Holy Moly.
This is a cool concept!
I have a variant of this idea...
This synth contains a library of signal processing code, together with code and resources elements for GUI interface designs.
Developers can build synth designs based on functionality and sound, and use the pre-existing resource elements for their signal processing engines and GUI interfaces.
A developers design is compiled as a file that contains instructions for how to build the synth.. using the resources of the "Master App".
Also available to developers is the ability to include custom code for signal processing functionality not available in the master app library.
This type of system allows developers to quickly bring new creations for music production to market, by utilizing the library of existing "modules" and GUI elements in the Master App.
The Master App can essentially take the place of hundreds of individual Apps, because it uses instruction files to tell the Master App how to express appearance and functionality within a pre-existing application framework.
This could be a good way for non-programers to construct their own synths and effects, and make them available for others to use... For sale or for free.
I need a synth that I can say ,'play all the sounds in my head right now'.
Thanks.
Seriously? I'm wasn't really that into synths until I came
across the iOS platform and then succumbed to drambo.
Yes,...I said the ,"D", word.
I simply used to go through the presets,
delete the ones I didn't like and that's it
and play away.
Some of the suggestions here are fascinating.
I doubt I would think of anything new but as long as
I can do vector synthesis with it with ease?
Cool.
Oh yes, and an inbuilt Lissajous oscilloscope would be very handy.
Oh sugar...I've started thinking...
I'll be back in minute....
Guess Mimic is now a reality...although it's nothing like the idea I floated above

@echoopera
They got the name, but not the same principle.
I think the ultimate would be some method for sample-less reproduction. A way of reverse-engineering sounds into some kind of data-set used to represent waveforms, in a highly editable way.
