"I'm sure that you don't know this little synth... It's a shame, because it comes with lots of good ideas... When you're on the main screen, you can see a big purple Pad on the right hand side of your screen. Play notes by dragging you finger on the vertical axe, change the modulation by dragging your finger on the horizontal axe. Below, you can see a keyboard. This keyboard displays the notes you are playing, you can't play with it... In fact, all the parameters of this synth can be assign to the accelerometer of your iDevice. For example, you can assign the delay time on a key, and choose what will happen depending of your motions. Read the post, the bubbles are more explicit than I am... There is also another big Pad close to the other. This one is the arpeggiator. I should say, the 4 arpeggiators... Very well thought out... Check out the bubbles... To conclude, Synth Prob is a Killer miniSynth, a really good surprise."

This one has been out for a while, but I realize I never captured the details below. You'll find a tutorial video in this previous post.
