Flat-Out Incredible Video Synth

Tremendously flexible, tons of inputs (cameras, video clips) and shape generators, incredible effects, and MIDI in (including BLE MIDI) makes this one of the best video synths on the App Store, pound for pound. Worth every penny.

Makes Video Synthesis fun and intuitive

I’ve tried a bunch of video synths (hardware and software) and none of them has been as easy to pick up and as fun the mess with as this one! The workflow of the synth is easy to grasp quickly yet so versatile. It’s so easy to get lost in making visuals with this app!

proper video synthesizer

I've been exploring this app since it was in beta. The developer is always improving and adding more. I've always needed a laptop and applications like cycling 74's Jitter for video synthesis. Not any longer. My only requests would be a method to sync rhodopsin to midi, as well as ableton link. An outstanding video synthesizer. Thank you for releasing this on ios/ipad.

Worth the moolah

Great video synth! Very powerful and I'm stoked on creating patches with it in the future. Would be nice to have slew on the random modulations so they're not soo jerky with the effect it's modulating. Either way, it's worth the money all day and I will be recommending to anyone in the video synth world!
