SIX AMAZING SYNTHS

AUDIOKIT SYNTH ONE

$FREE

AUV3 (COMING)/AB/AL/IAA | 300 PRESETS | HYBRID ANALOGUE/FM 6-VOICE | SEQUENCER

They say “completely free, fully functional, and ad-free – the ultimate free iPad music instrument app”… And we’re not going to argue. Synth One is an open source tool to develop but is actually one of the best synths out there. A unique tone, brilliantly flexible UI and of course it’s free! No brainer…

BEEP STREET SUNRIZER

$9.99

AUV3, MIDI, IAA, AUDIOBUS 2.0 | 380+ PRESETS | 6-20-VOICE | PHRASE SEQUENCER

This VA synth features ‘True SuperSaw sound emulation’ – the kind of fat trance lead sounds made ubiquitous by the Roland JP-8000 and used on many a dance and trance tune. Add in flexible effects, modulation and an arpeggiator, and this could well be seen as the Massive of mobile in years to come.

ICEGEAR INSTRUMENTS LAPLACE

$7.99

AUV3/ AB/AL/IAA | 24-VOICE | PHYSICAL MODELLING | ARPEGGIATOR

Laplace employs physical modelling to create sounds like strings, plucked instruments and metallic sounds although IceGear suggest, “it is designed not to reproduce real acoustic instruments but to create new synthesizer sounds in different new ways”. Basically, if you want something a little different this is it!

BATAVIA COLLECTIVE
If the words ‘jazz fusion’ fill your hearts and minds with dread, think again. Batavia Collective are a trio of musicians from Jakarta who have already been touted as one of this year’s bands to watch as their blend of jazz and electronics breaks such new ground. But it might not have turned out that way. “At first this was just a side project but then the universe revealed something else…”
SHANE CODD
Many of us dream of taking our music beyond our bedroom setups at home, but few have done it so dramatically – and quickly – as Irish producer Shane Codd. After finding himself on a dead-end college course, he started dabbling with music, uploaded some early productions to Soundcloud and just a few months later found himself with millions of streams and a top 10 hit across Europe. Lucky beggar…

GET A GREAT GUITAR SOUND
Welcome to our new series aimed at guitarists wanting to explore the many software options out there, or complete non-guitarists wanting to create a perfect tone… without learning to play or even use a guitar!
Create a great guitar sound! Part 1 - real instrument or virtual?
We’ll see the numerous methods for processing and placing guitar sounds in a mix later in this series. But this first instalment is for those who don’t have access to (or the ability to play) a real guitar, but still want those sparkling textures.
