Back in 2008 when the App Store was very young, Yonac released miniSynth, the very first iOS synthesizer. Compact and user-friendly, it introduced hundreds of thousands of iOS users to synths and paved the way for the great things to come in mobile music making. We have come a long way since, continuing innovation with our flagship synth Magellan. As our apps grow more and more sophisticated, we wanted to also continue the heritage of the original app that started it all. So, here with all its elegant simplicity is miniSynth 2. miniSynth 2 continues the spirit of the original, adding advancements we made in DSP, design and features over the last half decade. Simple and easy to use, miniSynth 2 projects a solid, fat tone from a strategic feature set -- an "abbreviation" of the sophisticated features we offer in our pro-grade synthesizers. Like all our synthesizers, no compromises are made with sound and functionality. There are NO samples used, just real-time virtual analog synthesis. miniSynth 2 also includes production-friendly features, such as Audiobus output, audio copy/paste, and a MIDI In port for playing miniSynth with an external controller or a virtual-MIDI app. For the iOS pro and the novice alike, miniSynth 2 is intended as a back-to-basics synth answering the call when the inspiration strikes. -- 32-bit professional quality DSP -- Extremely low latency -- Dual analog-modelling oscillators -- Virtual-analog Low-Pass Filter with full ADSR and Contour -- Amp ADSR -- Delay -- Reverb -- Audio Backgrounding -- Audiobus Output -- MIDI In -- Built-in tapedeck -- Audio Copy/Paste -- Soundcloud -- 30 Factory Presets -- Ability to save user presets in provided user banks ## Key features - Virtual analog synthesis - Dual analog-modelling oscillators - Low-Pass Filter with ADSR - Delay and Reverb effects - Audiobus Output - MIDI In support - 30 Factory Presets ## Chart rankings - #159 in Top Paid · Music (US App Store) ## Recent user reviews (10 of 72) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/minisynth-2/id616496999/reviews.md ### 5/5 — Holy Dear Good Lord! Is this what you call Mini? *2024-08-06, version 1.3* How come this thing has this much amazingly destructive sonic power , Even it is named miniSynth. I have to be frank and honest, Till now, Yonac has completely overwhelmed me with Kauldron, Trooper, Magellan and many others! But Dear respected yonac, naming this appp miniSynth, is utmost wrong! The absolute unprecedented force this synth posses, It should’ve been titled, “The Destroyer of Worlds” We love you Yonac! ### 5/5 — Best *2020-04-08, version 1.3* Best ### 5/5 — Real good synth!!! *2018-11-04* Very good and simple synthesizer!! Thanks a lot! And please add airpods connection !!!! ### 2/5 — Hello 2008...maybe update? *2018-11-03, version 1.3* Touted as a great synth from 2008. Looks like zero updates since then too. Probably would look great on an iphone 3s. Not so great for modern iphones. ### 5/5 — Little Gem! A True Must Have for Any IOS Synth Geeks! *2017-09-18, version 1.3* This little gem never ceases to amaze me! It works perfectly in AudioBus3, AUM and it even sports a built in recorder to make loops! Amazing deal! Sounds incredible, if you don't like the reverb, i truly recommend sending this baby's audio into EOS2 reverb by Audiodamage and be prepared to be floored! Sound, HUGE!!! Best little synth ever, lots of horsepower under the hood! I highly recommend this app! MM4C ### 5/5 — Nice lil app *2017-04-01, version 1.3* Ive always liked this lil synth, reasonable price considering some of the options it has.. and its still working great :D ### 5/5 — Wow!!!, wow!!! , wow !!! *2017-01-27, version 1.3* Amazing App Synth , great sounds presets and very simple to shape your own sounds . I wish all synth were this simple to work on . I needed for my music projects and is a totally worth the dollar. Thanks guys for such an amazing app , keep innovation alive . ### 4/5 — 小巧 *2017-01-15* 效果不错，但是好像不支持蓝牙耳机，，， ### 5/5 — Made with love *2016-10-09, version 1.3* Thank you for this beautiful app. I must say I was not expecting so much from this app or thinking it will be as good as my other apps. It is far more better than other apps I used in the past I have a lot of music apps, this beautiful app changed the game. It is simple, looks beautiful, very high quality sound and very stable and stands up amongst the crowds and the competitors. The only suggestion I have is, right now it doesn't save user's settings or preference such as when I resize the keyboard and whenever the app is closed the settings or preference is lost and when I open this app I have to resize the keyboard again and etc. If is possible add a function to save user's preferences automatically when the app is closed. Could you please add more instruments in the future, such as electric guitar, guitar, mandolin, violins, accordions, and strings 60s, strings 80s and harps, South Asian Indian flutes, South American panpipes, Romanian pan flutes? Also please add some sound effects such as reverb, echo and etc. I wouldn't mind to purchase a copy to support the app continuity. In the future. ### 5/5 — Good App *2016-05-29, version 1.3* This is a very simple app to use and very basic and that's what's great about it. Great for making loops to use in other applications with the ability to export them. I got this as a free download and didn't expect it to be any good but was surprised. Don't know if I would have got it if I had to pay and then I would never have known its value to me. ## Frequently asked questions about miniSynth 2 ### What is miniSynth 2? miniSynth 2 is a virtual analog synthesizer app for iOS that offers real-time synthesis with professional-grade DSP.
