DesignByPaul has brought us quite a few interesting apps since they first set up on the app store. Now they’ve introduced PolySynth, their first polyphonic synthesizer with only 3 note polyphony but apparently packed with vintage analog character.
PolySynth has Audiobus 3 support, IAA (Inter-App Audio) and MIDI-In so you can connect, play and record with other apps.
Main app features:
- Microtonal tuning
- 3 note polyphony
- MIDI note in
- 24db/Oct MS20 Lowpass filter and resonant highpass
- Arpeggiator
- AudioBus
- Inter App Audio
- 3x oscillators
- 2x LFOs
- 2x ADSR envelopes
- Delay
PolySynth is an iPad only synth, and costs $4.99 on the app store now:
looks decent. hope he adds midi to s-modular now! keep it up!
I didn’t think I’d be saying this so soon, but the lack of AUv3 is a deal-breaker for me. AU implementation has gone from really cool feature to basically a requirement in just a few months (thanks in large part to Beatmaker 3), and seeing a new iOS synth without it already feels like seeing a new Mac/Windows synth that doesn’t run as a VST.
