    Cause this is a personal opinion thread, I'll say that I welcome any digital synths brought to iOS. Remakes, such as the new FM4 and Retronyms Prophet VS have sound great. And originals such as Wolfgang Palm's PPG duo, Laplace, and of course Waldorf's Nave come to mind. I bought an ipad in the first place for digital synthesis, as I saw no point in buying awesome sounding, yet difficult to use digital gear from the 90's. At one time I was considering a Korg Wavestation, but then I thought, 'There's probably an app that does this, sounds just as good, and at a fraction of the cost.'

    The iPad excels at going places that analog can't touch, and that's why there are so many great digital based synths on the platform. On the other hand, I believe analog is best done in the analog realm, so as a rule of thumb I don't buy apps that attempt to produce sounds I could create on hardware analog synthesizers. With that said, I hope that any new IOS synthesizers are not recreations of classic analog boards, but are rather inspired by exciting digital gear from the 80's and 90's, with overhauled UI's to actually make them usable!

    (This includes the plethora of amazing samplers from the same era..we do still need a real sampler on iOS!)

    I forgot about the Androneda! I was intrigued by it back in the day.

  • MusicInclusiveMusicInclusive

    Yes - that was me :-) I keep adding A6's to my ebay watch list - and then watch as they get sold :-)

    If someone did an excellent port of the A6 soundwise and managed to keep the essence of the look and feel while expanding on the menu accessibility I'd easily pay a good price for it - it'd be an instabuy I think for me. What's a good price? I don't know - but it'd be worth more than Module to me I think. Probably.

    A6 is overrated imo.Yes,it has many many knobs and buttons but still way too much functions hidden behind Menus.Not minor functions,i mean stuff like all the Modulation connections.Not one (of the 4) LFO is prerouted to a sinful destination for example.And the menu navigation is terrible.Display was quite dark with bad contrast (at least on mine) and the knobs under the display are just tiny and fiddly.Very often i scrolled through the Mod sources/destinations and needed quite a lot of tries until i had the wished connection.(Filter) FM sounds disappointing (another hidden menu function.For good reason i guess ;-) and the pre filter overdrive kicks in VERY fast.And doesn't sound good to me as well.So you have to keep all the levels WAY down to avoid this and the finaly output is quite low then.And did i mention the build quality?Knobs are wobbly except the 4 huge knobs for Filter and Oscs.Doesn't feel very reliable nor expensive.

    Sound was ok though (except the stuff i mentioned) but i sold the A6 after half year.

    Ensoniq EPS. A sampler that can do what it could do... in 1989! (with a Motorola 68000* processor and 4mb? of RAM!) Cross-fade loops, loop points dynamically moveable. Dynamic layering. Modulate anything with anything. Etc.

    16 and 12 bit options.

    (...and a way to read my old floppy disks:)

    So very much this. Very well said. On that note, I only ever really scratched the surface of my Oberhiem Matrix-6 because it was a million key presses to do just about anything anything (not even a single data slider!) and was terribly unreliable via remote control (all sysex, casio watch CPU). Same scenario with Kurzweil's V.A.S.T. These are seriously interesting architectures with wonderful sonics that were bogged down in the UI tech (+cost) of the day. Would love to see them brought back to life with big easy to use controls and displays because I think there's still quite a lot to explore there.

    I don't really mind the VA stuff (though we're pretty much at saturation). For the most part, I'm happy to keep using my analog hardware to get those sounds. That said, I'm never ever going to be able to afford a SEM-8 nor do I own any hardware that can even kinda sorta get those sounds. So yeah, hardware for the win but long live Arturia. :)

  • MusicInclusiveMusicInclusive

    I'm still very excited to see further ports of classical analog gear that I can't afford. I could not have afforded a VCS3. I can't afford a CS-80. A Jupiter 8 would be pushing it. (I have those as desktop versions though with the Arturia V suite so I'm covered there - but I'd still like to see iPad ports so I can be very mobile.) I might stump up for the new Korg reissue Odyssey though ;-)

  • gsm909gsm909

    Ensoniq Fizmo , a wild sounding, scanning wavetable synth, hard to find , but they were apparently quite unreliable.
    Korg Prophecy. The hardware always seem to be REALLY well used when they come up for sale, broken keys and missing benders are common.

    A really nice sounding emulation of either would be great for me

    Another synth I always wanted is a Nord. That would be cool.

  • BrainBrain

    Roland XP-50 Music Workstation. My first and only gadget of its kind; Expansion Board sounds would come in the form of IAPs!
    Not that we really need it... such an old-fangled workflow!

  • KeeboKeebo

    My first synth was the Ensoniq ESQ-1. Shortly thereafter I bought the Ensoniq Mirage which was cheaper at only 8 bit resolution. Good days indeed but I'm not sure if either would be a must buy for me.

    I kinda would like to see some of the old Roland synths and PCM Sound Modules like the U-220 which is the only one I still have from the eighties but with an easier interface to work with.

  • WillWill

    Yep, something from Roland's "Linear Arithmatic" line like the D50 would be interesting on a big screen.

    Yeah, the Mirage would be awesome. It would be a happy day for iOS if it got a sampler modeled after any of those characterful old units. Looking at Ensoniq Mirage, EPS; Emu Emulator II, Emax; early Akai 'S' series.

    +1 for PCM.

    Crabman said: "Not one (of the 4) LFO is prerouted to a sinful destination for example." I really like this sentence but I'm quite sure you meant 'useful'?! maybe 'sinful' combines 'sinnvoll' and 'useful'.
    I never had an Andromeda, but from everything I read about it, people were often rather disappointed with it. here's a typical review:

    http://www.syntezatory.net.pl/alesis_a6_andromeda.htm

    yeah,sorry.I meant"useful".Not my original language ;) Afair,there are NO prerouted modulation destination/sources.Not even the most basic stuff like"envelope (2) amount on Cutoff".Maybe i'm wrong here but that's the picture in my head at least.No real joy to edit this beast...

  • WillWill

    I generally prefer to be prerouted to sinful destinations but ok.

    I have wanted one of these ever since first laying eyes on one.

    I would like too see a Roland MC 909(eg: iMC 909), or any Novation VSTi's(Basstation, ect)or a acurrate made app of the Roland RE Space Echo series, tho AUFX Dub, comes a little close.

  • WillWill

    Aufx:Dub sounds like what my Roland Space Echo probably sounded like when it first came out. That is, it sounds amazing (plus, it does a lot more the any space echo ever did). But yeah, there's something about the worn heads on mine that none of the delay apps quite capture. Like a weird mushy slewing (for lack of a better word), along with the warble and a hard to define curve for both high and low pass filtering on each repeat.

  • studs1966studs1966

    I've got a VST version. I make reggae Dub music. Trying to get that "King Tubby sound". Almost got the sound on the VST version. IOS version would make it easier.

    I had a 301 for a long time and what i really miss is the"sound on sound"function.Time for a feature request i guess...

    NI fm8

    Someone make some "character" apps like tape simulation and bitreducer with extras ..., please.
    Toneboosters timemashine and reelbus are great ...

  • WillWill

    @crabman aufx:dub will do sound on sound. I don't have a 301 so I'm not sure if it's the same. there are a few presets highlighting it though.

    @studs1966 any of your dubs online? feel like new dub-as-in-fucking-dub-not-wub-wub-wub is hard to spot these days.
