Good synths and effects to use with Koala on iPhone?
What are some good synths and effects to use with Koala in iPhone?
i.e. Ones that run well in the vertical format with the interface having readable text (not squished down tiny text).
Ones that come to mind:
SunVox, because it does everything
Eventide FX
FAC apps
Any others are appreciated!

Seeing is believing!
Hang on, what? Koala LOADS auv3?
Yep!
Stuff that looks good in iPhone portrait mode (in AUM at least):
*No built-in individual panning; dev has stated that they intend to overhaul the app at some point
**Flux Mini 2 is more advanced but looks slightly worse on a in vertical/portrait mode
Even though it’s not optimized for vertical, I do have to give a shoutout to Korg iM1. I think that would be great to pair up with Koala.
Korg gadget drums/module pro and audiokit apps are pretty much what I have been using. And BLEASS alpha and mellow sound. It’s nice to have real sounds and synthetic sounds together instead of everything being sampled in. I create the midi and resample the loop and throw it in chopper and it’s like making original music and then sampling it for endless possibilities.
The size of the iPhone makes it tough with apps that have a lot going on.
There's a long thread about it here: 🙂

Mononoke, Solderbox, and Hilda all seem like good options. The controls are a bit small but still workable. Solderbox and Hilda both have their own sequencing options and you can latch on Mononoke for nice drones.
Pure Acid is decent too since you can collapse the different screens to focus on one, and it has the sequencer.
I don’t use Drambo for audio but the interface looks pretty workable.
Also all of the effects I checked seem fine. The scaling is pretty damn nice, so I can’t imagine many apps that wouldn’t work. I guess Battlestation Groovebox is probably pretty tight since Bram says it wasn’t meant for the iPhone anyway, and the UI gets pretty cramped even in landscape.
Hey, thanks. I saw that but because of the way I use the iPad, it didn't click. I thought it was Koala that became auv3. I guess it's been a plugin for years.
