## What is Syrinscape Fantasy Player?

The soundtrack to your gaming world, Syrinscape creates immersive sound design and a movie-like soundtrack for tabletop games.

Transform your next role-playing or tabletop gaming session. Syrinscape is a revolutionary sound design app created in Australia by tabletop role-playing aficionados. The app conjures every aural landscape imaginable, from ethereal forests or dank, vermin-filled dungeons to the spooky depths of the underworld.

Unlike other soundboard-style apps, Syrinscape uses adaptable libraries of sound files – SoundSets – to improvise soundscapes, allowing users a great degree of control over what they are hearing, while requiring almost no interaction while the app runs.

The Syrinscape Fantasy Player app is optimized for iPad, giving users the ability to playback Syrinscape SoundSets with a beautiful, easy-to-use interface. All the fantasy SoundSets you buy from the Syrinscape Store are available across all your devices, so you can pick up whichever device is to hand and immerse yourself in whatever sound world you desire.

Plug this into some big speakers at your next game and blow your player's minds!

### 1/5 — It’s a trap!

*2026-07-04*

Paid for the subscription but was never able to log in to make use of it. Raised support tickets that were ignored no responses. Ended up having to force a refund through PayPal.

### 1/5 — não funciona

*2026-04-11*

fica na tela de início eternamente.

### 1/5 — Just doesn’t work.

*2025-07-21*

The UI isn’t built for mobile. That’s a problem. The sounds don’t make any sound at all, at any volume. That’s a broken application.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t do anything

*2025-04-07*

I downloaded the app and o can’t get any further than the front screen. No menu, no login, no service, nothing.

### 3/5 — has potential but is frustrating

*2025-02-23*

Some fun atmosphere for games. Hard to navigate, and the app does not save my customized soundscapes.

### 1/5 — Too clunky

*2024-10-31*

First try and the app was great. Neat sounds though hard to sort through.

So I subscribed (free first month) and things just got worse. Sounds wouldn’t play, the start up would freeze, and it was so hard to organise.  There was I hoping to add flavour to a new campaign but it didn’t work.

I deleted and reinstalled but it remained buggy.

The app needs to be simplified.  The artwork is great, but so what if the prime use is sounds and they get clogged up by the bulk of the app.

Hours spent trying to get the app working but in the end it was just way too frustrating.

How would I improve it?

Organise the sounds by theme (urban, wilderness, dungeon etc).  If you’re running a pre-made adventure it’s okay but what if you doing a homebrew or players are on a tangent?

Clean up the interface and get fit easy to use - the artwork is good but what the apps purpose? Sound effects, so simplify the art.

Make the opening interface easy to get to the soundboard - too much is about subscription even after you subscribe! The app’s layout logic has to be addressed.

In all, neat sounds buried under the rubble of a clunky interface.

### 1/5 — All I get is a splash screen

*2024-08-13*

It’s a cute splash screen that never goes away. iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 17.5.1.

### 2/5 — Needs to play in background

*2024-07-20*

Why can’t the audio continue to play when i switch apps.

### 5/5 — Update seems to have made a huge difference

*2024-02-14*

Definitely time to try this again!

### 2/5 — Useful, but Not Useful

*2024-02-09*

It’s easy to tell this app has … seniority, to use a polite term.

It faithfully recreates the look, feel, and functions of the web version, bringing the powerful sound triggering and mixing and editing capabilities to my phone. My soundsets and campaigns are synced well, and it’s impressive how much flexibility is packed into this small form factor.

But in the end, I can’t use it. Whatever system APIs they had to contort and bend to make all of this sound engineering go are either not modern or not standard.

Sound does not persist in the background; pulling down my control center or locking the screen unceremoniously cuts off whatever is playing. More crucially, sound is not routed in such a way to let iOS know anything is actually playing, meaning I can’t AirPlay my soundscapes to my TV / sound system, or cast them to my DM’s chromecast, or punt them over to a bluetooth speaker. And there’s no Apple TV app on offer, so in the end there’s no way to get these lovely noises to my speakers.

While running this system on a phone is impressive and neat, actually using it in a real world setting is not something I can do right now.
