Loads of nice new app sales up today

@Ingenious, iSynPoly is about 4 years old. But it's not the age but the app itself. Nlog Pro and Animoog are excelent examples of that.

monzo Uh-oh. One of the problems with giving up the sauce is the lack of Friday night twiddles Vicar. I shall however, very soberly, report back

In a world where I have the riches of Thor and Z3ta and Tera and Nave and iSem and Mito, let alone Alchemy and Animoog and Thumb Jam and Sunrizer and on and on into the sea, it's hard to think what new unlikely bomb this will bring,

And I would have done for sure.

BOMBS = creativity

I picked up iSynPoly and Tera and I have to say it shows how much things change in a couple of years in the iOS music making world. Tera is fantastic, whereas iSynPoly is pretty lack lustre sonically, with no MIDI configuration available and a bit buggy all round. It was dead cheap, mind...

I am tempted for Tera.

It keeps teasing but I can't pull the trigger.

I was going to get it but I remembered Synthmaster is soon.

I try to look at it this way – if spending a few bucks a week on apps encourages me to get those creative juices flowing and make more music that's a good thing. Not to mention I love to tinker and play with this stuff!

I already have iSynPoly and it's a steal at that price. However synth-Q has been on my wish list and now is as good a time as any!

Kind of like getting new golf clubs to improve one's game................................

Tera I consider one of the top-tier iOS synth apps. IT does take a bit of knowledge about synthesis to get the most outta it.

+1 to both statements

The second statement applies to iPolySynth too, while the presets may seem lackluster to some, there's quite a lot of synthy goodness for the programmers, with automations, x/y tilt, x/y pad and mod wheel modulations.

As a VirSyn nerd I have to mention the others, especially Addictive, (one of the earliest and still formidable iOS top tier synths) and microTera, Tera's crazyass counterpart.

I should clarify to say that iSynPoly has some good features, but I was surprised that it can't be connected to anything MIDI wise (AFAIK), and it doesn't work properly with a Korg Micro Key keyboard either (it only plays one of the mono synth - not the poly one) Of course, there may be someone who knows more about how to interface with this one, than I do.

The MIDI channels are set for the parts. I think you need to use MIDI channel 3 to play the polysynth. If your controller keyboard can't do that, you can use an app like Midiflow to set the routing.

Thanks for that, yes it does work with Genome sending stuff on channel 3, it's the background audio lack of that confused me.

Oh yes. Running it through Audiobus gets around that issue.
