Jasuto YUMI:synth - Bowed String Simulator Now Available

"YUMI:synth is the worlds first realistic sounding bowed string simulator for iOS. All sound generation is completely synthesized, absolutely no samples are used.

You can play two strings at once (at different locations on the scale) and bow manually or automatically. The scale system allows you to quickly define all the playable notes.

Also included are two high quality stereo effect units: ping-pong delay and reverb.

You can easily save/load presets, and backup your presets via iTunes.

Finally, there's an interactive help system that allows you to get info on a control once it's touched."

YUMI:synth is from Jasuto, makers of Jasuto Pro. You can find previous posts here and Jasuto on YouTube here. You might remember Yumi, the violin simulator from this recent post.

I gave YUMI:synth a quick try and I have to say it is a great sounding app. The added delay and reverb, along with subtle control settings allow for some truly haunting and expressive sounds.
