"PSynth is Clockwork Software' s amazing hand held recorder/synthesizer for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Using PSynth you can record and save those melodies that pop into your head from time to time and you can express them with an almost infinite variety of unique sounds.PSynth's architecture and capabilities are similar to that of a Mini-Moog or a Roland Juno synthesizer but with the addition of a built in multi-track sequencer. Many of the synthesizer sounds heard in todays contemporary music can be emulated with PSynth. Unlike old analog synthesizers, PSynth is implemented entirely in software in the digital domain. This means all timing aspects of PSynth are rock solid and totally synchronous and PSynth will never, ever go out of tune.
PSynth turns the iPhone and iPod Touch into a complex music production device which will take time to completely master. In experienced hands, PSynth is a serious musical instrument. For all users, PSynth can be a source of wonder and delight with the multitude of sounds and sonic textures it can create.
Clockwork Software's PSynth has the following features:• Multi-track recorder/sequencer
• Three voice polyphony
• Full automation of all synth elements
• Three oscillators + one LFO
• Oscillators have 7 octave range
• Oscillators have four selectable waveforms
• Oscillators can run in tracking mode or polyphony mode
• Oscillators can be detuned in relation to each other

Not bad so far. Always skeptic of synth apps because $5 usually gets you some sampled garbage. But this one seems to deliver nicely so far. As far as jotting down concepts with its current programming and recording features it should suit me just well.
ReplyDeleteBut I LOVE the way keys are played. I tried so many iPod and iPhone synths with standard keys and haven't found any that felt right when playing. The set up they use is something I would like to see used more often for apps.
