## What is Mitosynth?

Synthesis without the spaghetti.
From the creators of Grain Science and Sylo Synth (used by Gorillaz and The Flaming Lips).
A powerful hybrid synthesiser with a magical interface.

Pick from 180 built-in patches — or design your own. Start with additive synthesis, wavetables, or a sophisticated mix. Add rich modulation, effects and filters, controlled by powerful LFOs and beyond. Make vibrant leads, vast soundscapes, compelling basses, warm bath or deep sea pads, and so much more.

The sound is complex, but the controls are not. Synth engine and UI both offer clarity and power — you’re holding in your hands a miracle of touch-screen technology, why limit it to the switches and dials of decades-old hardware?

Mitosynth takes a simple approach: With a tap, almost any dial can be switched out for a graph with automation controls, including LFOs, 5-stage DADSR envelopes, ingenious noise generator, step sequencer, BPM sync — and MIDI, of course. Plus XY pads for the hands-on approach.

And you can combine them. Use one automation to control which (or how much) of two others affect a setting. Many of the automation controls are themselves automatable. You can repeat this, going to deeper levels. LFOception!

The flexible FX chain means no messing with complicated routing tables, or stringing cables around until your screen looks like a plate of pasta: Slot the distortion, filter, delay and other effects you want, in the order you want. Simple!

Powerful like a modular synth. Clean and straightforward like a modern iOS app.

### 5/5 — Sonic indulgence, beautiful and expansive! 🦋

*2024-02-25, version 1.2.20*

I’m so glad this incredible sounding and highly unique synthesiser still works as solidly as it always did (despite its age) it remains an iOS legend and a very much cherished instrument! Naturally, I’d happily pay for it again if it were re-released as an AU or Apple Silicon version as I’d love to use it with AUM within a broader modern system! Its sound is absolutely unique and distinct (as it its beautiful, thoughtfully designed GUI) as it allows you to combine multiple synthesis types to create rich, sophisticated, evolving, sonic worlds and any other sounds including crunchy bass’, searing leads or organic phenomena …its really deep! Mitosynth also has unique sonic qualities that always make it sound utterly distinct and original (unlike anything else I’ve heard TBH) …a hybrid combination of LoFi, HiFi, Digital, and Analogue timbre …its a beautiful rare and exotic life form!

### 1/5 — Once wonderful

*2023-04-09*

Crashes. Always. In standalone and IAA. Figure it is abandonware. Too bad. Has a lot of lovely sounds and many presets. Crashes. A lot. But i already said that. Buyer be wary.

### 4/5 — Great Sound but no Longer Relevant

*2022-05-12*

Without auV3 this beautiful synth has been relegated to the dustbin of history. Tragic

### 3/5 — Sounds good…

*2022-05-10, version 1.2.20*

But as said elsewhere, a bit quiet compared to others & tbf I shouldn’t have to monkey around with the gain all the time just to make it consistent.. Moot point maybe, as this app appears to have been abandoned…

### 5/5 — Great app

*2022-03-28*

Great app get it

### 5/5 — Powerful synth

*2021-04-07, version 1.2.20*

One of my fav soft synths. Perfect for importing samples too. Hopefully it will get an update as an AU extension to enable multiple Mitosynths to run in AUM.

### 2/5 — Update please

*2020-11-25, version 1.2.20*

Please update and adapt to AU as this synth is one of the BEST ever and needs some love as it is getting so hard to integrate into AUM and iPad music making workflow. Please please  it is SO worth it!

### 3/5 — So so

*2020-08-14*

Can load samples, and has a waveform painter, both of which are nice. But has no FM modulators or noise generators. So it  lacks some features. Sounds overall sound kind of cheap, not sure why. Also, things seemed kind of glitchy. Keys getting stuck, or you reload the project and it sounds different, or you remove a reverb but you still hear it. Doesn't appear that the dev is adding new features anymore.

### 5/5 — Amazing sounding synth

*2020-05-24, version 1.2.20*

‘It’s a bit quiet’ I read somewhere. Turn the gain up then.
This synth is super deep, modular without all the wires. If you’re coming from a standard synthesis background it will take a while to get your head around but this thing has a sound that I can only describe as ‘Cinematic’. It’s not your bread and butter analogue style Moog,Jupiter/Juno offering. It has a sound that’s very hifi , it can sound quite ‘additive synthesis’ or quite ‘fm’. I think maybe the closest to it in character on the desktop is Absynth. You can get huge cinematic pads, massive (but at the same time clean) warping basses, it loads samples, creates outer space sound fx ( not your usual two random Lfo stuff), it has a great in-built reverb and a chain of other FX etc etc etc.
I hope it goes Auv 3 purely to keep up on newer/future iOS but I keep an old iPad on iOS 9 for older synths anyway. When that goes belly up...I don’t know in some instances. That’s the only problem with the iOS model and not being able to back up apps and not being able to back up the operating system and reload it on a newer iPad. These things WILL disappear eventually much like some 90s hardware synths etc built on unreplaceable ASICS (stuff like z1 springs to mind) which is a shame because this synth in particular  is so deep it really does have enough to keep you going for a lifetime.

### 4/5 — Excellent synth and sound design tool but

*2020-01-16*

It’s time to step up to the plate and make this an AU!  You will renew your sales and revitalize your wallet if you do us all this favor....it’s been a long time coming! Come on Developers....2020 is your year!
