VirSyn iSyn Poly (Electronic Music Studio for iPad)
VirSyn
has announced the release of iSyn
Poly for iPad, the successor to the popular iSyn
pattern synthesizer for iPhone.
iSyn
Poly is an electronic music creation tool for your iPad. It features
3 synthesizers (two monophonic, and one 8-voice polyphonic), a drum machine,
and a full featured sequencer. Expect some serious sounds easily covering all
those fat frequencies so prevalent in modern production from the analog
modeling synths in iSyn Poly.
The
sequencer contains four recording tracks that correspond to each instrument,
and each is laid out in a familiar piano roll style. Real-time recordings can
be cleaned up with quantization, and notes can be selected, edited, and
copied; just like a computer sequencer. Each track also includes five lanes of
automation for controlling velocity and pitch, and any parameters assigned to
the mod wheel and X/Y pad.
Last
not least you can hook up your MIDI Keyboard.
iSyn
Poly was developed by VirSyn in partnership with audioMIDI.com. It costs $9.99
and is available now on the Apple
App Store.
