Got Tera just last night! I will never get through all of the presets even now that I started effects chaining and sequencing audio loops into Cubasis! DFX is sounding sweet with this one!
Tera is a powerhouse, crazy at $10. Every time I spend time with it I think "this is the only synth you'd ever need, the best trainset a boy could ever have..."
I have Addictive and it's really great for creating ambient and atmospheric sounds. Do any of their other synths excel at this?
Yes I was just using tera with dfx and holy craziness Batman it got wild!!!! I also have addictive and find it to be as deep yet having both is a dream come true. For five bucks though, get yourself dfx if you do not have it already and try that with fx patches , holy pad evolving forever!
Addictive is yet another incredible synth...I've got a big crush on all the Virsyn stuff, the iOS instruments forced me to acquire the vsts...
As far as creating evolving textures, the generous modulation possibilities (each w/4 independent lfos and 4 independent envelopes) in Virsyn synths all lend themselves to incredible evolving stuff, Cube, microTERA included.
Already had Addictive and Tera, bought Cube , microTera and AudioReverb on the last sale. They were always supremely powerful synths on the PC and these iOS incarnations are every bit as powerful. If you are hesitating, just spend the couple of £'s. Every one is well worth it.
Got most of the Virsyn gear, but always thought Cube and Addictive sounded (as far as descriptions) similar. Would buying Cube bring anything to the palate than Addictive can't offer?
Palate wise, Cube is a pretty pure expression of "additive" synthesis. Percussion, vocal, fx, pads, and leads can be taken into unlimited realms. Programming is a blast, feels very DIY and unlimited (only limitations are ones own, type thing)
Addictive can do some of what additive does along with an array of other more VA style sounds... Addictive is more of a hybrid, with a wavetable algorithm and a 6 osc array the are the basis of 2 (limited) harmonic spectra. The vast choices of additive synthesis are very cleverly limited and shaped by the synths design, and the palette opens out to include analog flavors. Programming feels almost like cheating, because choices have been made upstream that lead to tastier stuff than I can account for. My 2 cents
How does Addictive compares to mitosynth? If it is possible to compare.. Got Addictive for iphone but cant get into it, now
@Tritonman, what does DFX do differently that's so magical?
@LittlewoodG, does mT bring something different to Tera?
@aleyas just to add I bought Cube and Addictive last night to see if they'd be good additions to the sonic palette and both are good, Addictive is capable of some great psytrance basses and leads and Cube reminds me of air instruments Loom but less of a learning curve so more of a digital character but also capable of doing acoustic instruments similar to FM.
Very different beasts and both worth having IMHO, just wish Cube had the same recording functions as Addictive.
The sound sculpting capabilies of any synth through either DFX or flux fx especially when you throw sequencing or motion into the mix makes things come even more to life and exponentially in many cases. I like to take down the depth of some of the fx sometimes and sometimes not depending on the effects and desired sounds!

The way I understand it microTERA and Tera Synth derive from TERA 3 the VirSyn vst, and from what I can tell digging yet again into TERA 3 on my laptop, although microTERA is one of the synths that exists inside vst TERA 3, but definitely does not live alongside all the other synths that are now found in glorious modularity in the iOS Tera Synth.
In other words microTERA's waveshaping spectral distortion synth engine isn't one of ios Tera Synths possible synths. Tera Synth does a huge range of things, it is a monster on par with other iOS super synths. MicroTera on the other hand is a rare breed with distinct flavored. I hesitate to typify the favors it but what I like about it is its harmonic richness which can sound wild and way out of bounds (in detailed ways...).
@Goozoon
Your question has got me digging into both synths- which I should thank you for. I understand this much: MitoSynth uses Additive synthesis as one of many sources of wavetables to feed its Wavechamber, at which point things are no longer Additive synthesis as such. The user accesible parameters available in Mitosynth, to tweak the spectra, are quite numerous and deep but once crafted become wave tables. Addictive and even more so Cube start and end with Additive synthesis: once a harmonic spectra is drawn, it is then available (down to the partials level) for user realtime editing, as in very complex harmonic movement, modulation, filtering, spectral distortion etc, leading to the end sound.
Both Mitosynth and Addictive are absolute killer synths in my book, I'm wary of my ability to typify their differences...working on it. Among many other types, Mitosynth patches can have an "additive" sound to them, some of our forum members here have crafted amazing ones, including some with "additive" in their titles, I think because these patches have a cutting spiky digital quality to them. Mitosynth also covers so much other ground synthesis wise. Addictive (and Cube) sounds can also be spiky and cutting or cold and digital or whatever, but the additive synthesis approach can also produce all kinds of very harmonically rich bread and butter stuff too. Additive brings the VirSyn each-key-on-the-virtual-keyboard-is-it's-own-mod-wheel thing to the party, and that sweet VirSyn arpeggiator too...and Mitosynth in my book is a must have. So I'm of no help, unltimately, unless you need help spending money on both.
ISyn Poly is another Virsyn synth but it gets very little exposure. It is a very capable and usable subtractive synth with some great sounds, easy to edit too. As it also has 2 mono synths, a poly and drums which are recordable, you can use it as a musical sketchpad. And at the current £1.99 ($2.99?) it is very good value too!
@Littlewoodg - could you explain a little further about the differences between microTera and Tera? Looking at the screenshots I've always assumed that the microTera was just a limited Tera. The Micro has three osc that are sine wave only / the Tera has three osc that can do many different waves. They both have a wave shaper. The Chaos control is the only thing that seems to be missing from the Tera.
Please take this as a noobs fumbling:
MicroTERAs algorithm sums up to 3 sine waves into an arbitrary harmonic spectra, an array of partials which are drawable by the user. You are playing with partials of the summed sines, drawing amplitudes of individual partials, as if from a full sinus tone. VirSyn calls microTERAs waveshaper a distortion unit, as in harmonic distortion, which occurs when the other sines are fed in, and are pitched to create inharmonic relationships, and can be shaped in various ways: by drawing the spectra of individual partials, by modulating the individual sines input (pitch, volume) levels into the shaper, by varying the feedback of the waveshaper signal back into itself, each in their way alter the patches timbre and make it move on the level of harmonic (and inharmonic) partials, via multi-seg envelopes and LFOs, and via the amplitude and pitch phases of each sine relative to the other(s) phase.
The waveshaper in Tera is something like the additive component (module...) of Mitosynth: you can draw a harmonic spectrum of up to 256 partials, but that complex wave is then used as an oscillator among oscillators in Teras hybrid/subtractive synth schema.
As I study this stuff I'm seeing that there aren't any other iOS synths that do exactly what microTERA does. It has more in common with FM aka phase distortion synth engines than the usual subtractive suspects, but it's additive wave shaper sets it apart yet again...
Anybody please step in if I've strayed here
Don't anyone buy iVoxel please, as its my secret weapon
@Littlewoodg - Thanks for the breakdown. I now see the difference. It looks interesting, but I am still going to pass on it. I am about ten synths past my "NO MORE SYNTHS!" pledge. ;-) I've barely scratched the surface with Tera and I have plenty of other synths to noodle about on. If only there were more time to each day....
JG puts on his green eye shade, calls his broker on the phone, and barks "BUY iVOXEL" in a very gruff voice indeed. Stubs out cigar.
Mine too. Robot Christmas was heavily iVoxel. The middle eight was each separate word as a voxel, played on the sequencer in triads. The echo-tail lines of the verse were just vocoded as a through effect from audioshare wavs back into audioshare while a triad shift was played on the keyboard. (later all reassembled back on the Mac in LPX). Actually making voxels word by word was a lot of tedious fun.
You said it brother. I lie in bed every night, once the family is asleep, opening up a different synth lookng at documentation, and making patches. To get through all the synths I currently own in this way, I need at a least a month of nights.
I use them as sound sources for Nave, getting some great sounds.
@u0421793 do Robots celebrate christmas?
Of course. I see them shopping each year, completely automatically, simply executing instructions, items on a list. Whether we like it or not. No free will.
You must believe in free will, you have no choice..... (Bashevis Singer)
I see what you did there and that video is just nuts!
You guys got me to get another synth!!!
This Tera Synth is so awesome!!!Super analog warmth. Played a patch called Mondo something and wow!!!! Can't wait to use it live.
Thanks for the headzup on this. Rounded out my Virsyn collection. Tera really sounds great!
Tera at $20 is a steal.
To me the whole stable at full price is a steal - at half price you're actually losing money if you don't buy in, bro.
Wow, so glad I got a Tera!
Using up my Auria pro funds though
..huurry up Auria!
@Tera +1 love
Another one who doesn't need another synth app - but couldn't resist Terra - I love the arp in Addictive - but not the sounds so much - hopefully this one will click with me (haven't had chance to play yet!)
