Photophore Synth is a unique music instrument app that utilizes a flock synthesis engine. It uses up to 100 sound generators that move and interact like a flock to create rich, organic synthesizer sounds. You can control the flock's behavior to achieve a wide range of timbres, from warm pads to aggressive leads.
Key features include a unique flock synthesis engine, the ability to use up to 100 oscillators per patch, polyphonic (up to 6 voices) and monophonic modes with glide, 12 oscillator waveforms, a resonant low-pass/high-pass filter, dedicated amplitude and filter envelopes, a stereo echo effect, and an arpeggiator.
The application is a paid app. Pricing details can be found on the app store page. There are no in-app purchases or ads mentioned.
Photophore Synth requires iOS 7 or later and is compatible with iPad 2 or later. It also supports connectivity with MIDI keyboards and controllers, as well as AudioBus and Inter-App Audio for integration with other music apps.
You can create a wide variety of sounds, from choir-like textures to aggressive, insect-like swarms. The flock synthesis engine allows for warm, organic tones perfect for massive bass sounds, complex pads, and searing leads. You can also achieve extreme pitch modulation and chaotic effects by interacting directly with the screen.
