Rubber chicken synth
You can take almost any sound and make it sound like a high pitched squeezing a rubber chicken sound. 3 stars cause im impressed that it'll do that with ANY sample. And $15 for sample packs?? That's a whole other USEFUL app at that price.
Innovative, freaky but delicious! 🦋
I’ve really fallen in love with Klevgrand as they produce some really out there products that are unique and off the grid, and Tomofon is really no exception! I was immediately intrigued after hearing various demonstrations of its weirding ways, as it’s seemingly capable of producing sounds ranging from beautiful angelic overtones to eerie macabre shrills and groans (and everything in between)! Tomofon has bewitching qualities as through its audio model creation (re-synthesis via wavetables) sampled sounds take on ‘additive’ like qualities gaining a malleable ‘elasticity’ so they can be manipulated in weird and wonderful ways. Further the engine can be driven by your own samples, so there’s lots of possibilities to produce a wide gamut of sonic nuances, textures, ambience, etc. V.1 was already innovative and incredible sounding on release but now supports MPE and multimode filters too, which provide endless possibilities for creative expression - very cool!

New love
Didn’t take to it at first but with the new update it seemed to grow on me more and more. Been looking for a workable clarinet for some time now I’ve got it plus,thank you and good luck with a great app
Outstanding
I am working through the details of how to customize the assignments of waves to the keyboard to create and to edit models, so my assessment is not quite complete. In general terms, however, this is a striking, great-sounding synthesizer with a wide range of capabilities. For Klevgränd (or any developer), this strikes the user right away as something reflecting a great deal of ambition and creative work.
Tomofon gives easy access to a world of usable sound of high quality, with presets included to get users going on their creative paths. If one reads my first sentence to infer worry about usability or some kind of nasty learning curve, I can say not to worry. No such thing should concern the majority of potential users. My use of the tools for building custom wave models (sort of a marriage of multiple small wavetables across the frequency/note range of a sound preset/instrument) has run into some advanced difficulties most users will never encounter.
I do think the model-editing tools could be a touch more clear than they are for adding new waves to an existing model and assigning those across key ranges. This is unusual in my experience with this developer. Klevgränd tend to make things very clear - and very simple (in one or two apps, almost too simple for my control-freak tastes). With Tomofon, I'm sure I have missed something and that I'll find my answer soon.
This is my edge-case issue with Tomofon, but the overall instrument should be in any pad/mobile-music-user's toolkit. It does so much well, while being a very particular, characterful synthesizer. This is not at all some do-it-all thing that has no distinctive attraction.
Klevgränd can take a bow for this one. Well done.

Fantastic potential for expressive use. Monosynth Expression needs a little tidying up
I can not for the life of me find where to set a patch to play monophonically with legato mono-synth style of playing without the envelope releasing when any note is released on the keyboard. Usually you should be able to maintain a series of legato notes as long as one key is still depressed on the keyboard. So the expressive monosynth capability is a little curtailed. It would be great to have it respond like most expressive monosynths when in mono legato mode.
