What's New in Cellular Synthesizer

1.2.0

March 3, 2026

* Three drawing modes are now combined into a single [BRUSH] button with selectable brush types. * The [AUTORESET] button has been split into [RESET] and [DYNAMIC]. * Previous behavior combinations are preserved and accessible through the new controls. * [ATTACK] and [RELEASE] are now defined as percentages of the generation period rather than seconds. * The envelope range has been expanded (1%–10,000%). * Improved slider response for more precise adjustment. * Existing presets are automatically updated to the new system. * Enhanced internal diagnostics to simplify purchase validation and restoration. * Refined multi-level tab navigation for more predictable behavior. * The Store now opens as an overlay and correctly returns to the previous screen when closed. * Fixed edge cases when switching tabs. * Added two new presets: bass “tokio” and lead “horizon”. * Improved preset saving: longer names are supported, and the default category is selected correctly. * Fixed signal recalculation after loading presets and when changing the “Universe” in a static state. * Changed the maximum sample file length limit for the sampler. * Fixed mono summing when the filter is enabled. * Various UI and modulation display fixes.

$20?!

LOL, maybe $4.95. Subscription, dufus.

What Junk

Stupid impossible design and microscopic font. The website sample has no audio! LOL LOL what baboons, with apologies to the baboons! And a subscription? Ha ha ga. You’re genetically a waste.

Cell Synth

Really cool concept for an app, runs great on older iPad Pro, but most features are locked behind a subscription based model. Instabuy if there were a one-time purchase, but will just be using the trial/demo til then…

Response from developer

Appreciate your comment. A one-time purchase option has been added alongside the subscription. If that works better for you, feel free to update the rating — honest feedback like yours genuinely shapes the app’s direction.

FAQ

What is Cellular Synthesizer?

Cellular Synthesizer is a music creation application that uses a cellular automata field to generate and modulate sound parameters. It allows users to control oscillators, filters, and effects through evolving cell states.

How does Cellular Synthesizer generate sound?

It utilizes a 'universe' of cells that evolve based on user-defined rules. The state of these cells is interpreted as signals to modulate various synthesizer parameters, creating complex and dynamic audio.

What kind of effects are available in Cellular Synthesizer?
