## What is Sunrizer synth?

"This really is the synth that keeps on giving! Inspiration and intuition truly blend together in this musical instrument."  Alan Parsons

Sunrizer Synth is a virtual analog synthesizer that takes the definition of iOS synthesizer to the next level. 
Thanks to carefully designed architecture and heavy usage of coprocessor it blurs the boundaries between iOS and hardware synthesizers. 
Sunrizer was built to perform and works perfectly with any MIDI keyboard or sequencer. A lot of research has been done in order to achieve unique character, warmth and clarity. 

HIGHLIGHTS 
· True SuperSaw sound emulation, first found in the legendary Roland JP-8000 synthesizer. SuperSaw is a layered waveform consisting of multiple saw waves which are detuned to create an extremely full and epic sound. 
· Two filters per voice with configurable routing. 16 filter types available, including less common like Comb, Formant or Frequency shifter. 
· The Morph Group function lets you continuously morph of up to 30 parameters in a sound (including effects), using only the modulation wheel. 
· Full support for CoreMidi, MIDI mapping, Virtual Midi Ports and background audio.
· Multi mode lets you multiply oscillators to get unbelievably fat and full sound. 
· Support for microtuning - load scl and tun files. Create fascinating microtonal music which uses intervals not found in the Western system of 12 equal intervals to the octave.

OSCILLATORS 
· 2 warm-sounding analog modelled oscillators, 2 sub-oscillators (except SuperSaw). Available waveforms: Saw, PWM pulse,Triangle, SuperSaw, FM (frequency of phase modulation). 6 oscillators per voice in multi-sono mode. 
· Oscillator 2 hard-sync and configurable routing 
· FM (true frequency modulation) and PM mode 
· Osc-mix, ring modulator 
· White noise oscillator 

FLEXIBLE MULTI FILTERS 
· Two independent filters per voice with configurable routing. Filter types: LPF, HPF, BPF, Analog LPF, Notch, Comb, All pass, Power LPF, Power BPF, Wave shaper, Resonator, Resampler, LPF+Resampler, Frequency shifter. 
· Configurable routing: serial or parallel with bypass option. 
· ADSR envelope, keyboard tracking and full LFO control. 

MODULATION 
· Two LFOs per voice. It's possible to assign each LFO to almost any parameter. 3 LFO running modes: trigger, 1 shot, global. 6 waveforms, phase and fade-in knobs.
· The Morph Group function lets you continuously morph of up to 30 parameters in a sound (including effects), using only the modulation wheel. 
· Two Modulation ADSR Envelopes for amplitude and filters cutoff. 
· Pitch and modulation wheels. 

EFFECTS 
· A number of effects are built in: distortion, hi-q reverb, chorus, rotary speaker simulation, equalizer, phaser and stereo delay. Dual-band FX processing. 

ARPEGGIATOR 
· Sunrizer incorporates very powerful programmable arpeggiator. You should think of it more like a small step sequencer. 

OTHER FEATURES 
· Over 380 presets, 7 additional banks available for FREE in web library (more coming soon)
· Hold button allows you to to keep notes sustaining until you play new notes
· With Chord Memory function you can play the chord by only pressing single keys
· Phrase sequencer
· Compatible with AudioBus 
· Adjustable polyphony: 6-20 voices 
· Playback modes: poly, solo, arp 
· Built-in recorder supporting AudioCopy, DropBox and iTunes file sharing.

### 5/5 — Best CS80 SOUNDS…

*2026-07-24*

…and i’ve tried so many others.  ‘Noble cs” is in the presets, and a couple more to surf that Vangelis theme sound while you tweek and twist

### 5/5 — Still the best

*2026-07-08*

Glad to see this back in the app charts.
Best synth I ever owned.

### 5/5 — Immer noch top

*2026-05-10*

Einer der ersten auf meinem iPad und immer noch 👍. Sehr viele Presets , einfache Bedienung  
und mit einem gemappten Keyboard macht es richtig Spaß. Natürlich AuV3 kompatibel.

### 3/5 — Great sound, poor DAW connection

*2026-02-11, version 4.56*

Has plenty of great sounds, works well with midi keyboard.  It has only connected to my DAW successfully once. I have many plugins that connect to my DAW without a problem so I know it’s not the DAW.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2025-12-19, version 4.56*

The sequencer does not record anything for some strange reason! 
Tried numerous attempts at recording a sequence but noting seems to work! For a paid app this is very poor!

### 5/5 — Great Synth

*2025-10-24*

Final Update: 
The company is great, they fixed the issue with Cubasis after the review so it works seamlessly. It sounds great and they get the 5 star review from me. It has a very clean sound to it so you can make some high quality music with this, worth the purchase 

Previous UPDATE: Works with inter-app audio on cubasis and that's how you'll have to use it. It doesn't work as an AUv3 plugin, read the previous review 

Original:
It's 2025. It crackles with almost every sound I use. At about a week of this, I Google just to find out this is a problem exclusively with cubasis that has been discussed since at least 2021.

**Developer response:** The latest update (4.55) addresses an issue with Cubasis. Thank you!

### 5/5 — exceptional sound

*2025-10-12*

you can believe the hype with this one, simple yet powerful and not only sounds very good, warm, pleasant, punchy if you want that, but the presets available for it are also very good, the ambient presets are beautiful, I own dozens if not hundreds of iOS synths, (yeah, I know, I have a serious case of GAS) but this stands out! Impressed!

### 5/5 — Superb and easy to use

*2025-10-11, version 4.56*

I love this soft synth.

### 5/5 — Легендарный синт!

*2025-10-09*

Уже столько лет на всех моих девайсах, но по-прежнему актуален!

**Developer response:** Please update your iOS

### 5/5 — Introduced by Drambo

*2025-09-12, version 4.56*

Turned into a true believer by Sunrizer. A beautiful synth.
