An outstanding synth
Tomofon is likely the most outstanding synth whose tech is truly unique, the pinnacle achievement on an iPad. I will try to explain how it works, but your best bet is to check out YouTube where a good deal of time is spent explaining Tomofon.
A sample or samples are deconstructed into wave tables. And that has been done exceedingly well by other companies. The wavetables are then presented in novel ways, creating for lack of a better descriptor 3-D timbres over time. Users can import their own sample data and have it converted so that most of the hard work is dealt with outside of the user’s hands. The synthesis itself is fairly easy to comprehend and works in ways that create gorgeous sound and are not only possible, but are ridiculously easy to accomplish and I don’t say this in a flippant way, it’s almost too easy to get useful timbres not heard from other synths.
In a far more complex, synthesizer, the AIR Hydrosynth sometimes approaches some of Tomofon’s more expansive capabilities. I love my Hydrosynth so making it sound like it’s a limited toy pains me because outside of virtual synths it’s one of my favorites and now so is Tomofon.
I can’t think of a situation that Tomofon wouldn’t be incredibly useful for. Yes, it is expensive, it also outperforms anything that I can think of and does so with an elegant, easy to understand GUI.
Best in class, really it’s own class that outclasses anything I’ve worked with on this platform. Considering what it’s able to do this is a no-brainer if you want truly unique sounds that are not insanely difficult to program if even possible outside of Tomofon. It’s that good.

Didnt like at first,but then-whaaaaaaaaa…
This thing can sound like anything,especially with the matching of the voices and bodies to the waves you can put in there yourself-add the effects and you have a synth that can sound like anything anyone and everything in one package-please keep updated.....
Rubber chicken synth
You can take almost any sound and make it sound like a high pitched squeezing a rubber chicken sound. 3 stars cause im impressed that it'll do that with ANY sample. And $15 for sample packs?? That's a whole other USEFUL app at that price.
Innovative, freaky but delicious! 🦋
I’ve really fallen in love with Klevgrand as they produce some really out there products that are unique and off the grid, and Tomofon is really no exception! I was immediately intrigued after hearing various demonstrations of its weirding ways, as it’s seemingly capable of producing sounds ranging from beautiful angelic overtones to eerie macabre shrills and groans (and everything in between)! Tomofon has bewitching qualities as through its audio model creation (re-synthesis via wavetables) sampled sounds take on ‘additive’ like qualities gaining a malleable ‘elasticity’ so they can be manipulated in weird and wonderful ways. Further the engine can be driven by your own samples, so there’s lots of possibilities to produce a wide gamut of sonic nuances, textures, ambience, etc. V.1 was already innovative and incredible sounding on release but now supports MPE and multimode filters too, which provide endless possibilities for creative expression - very cool!

New love
Didn’t take to it at first but with the new update it seemed to grow on me more and more. Been looking for a workable clarinet for some time now I’ve got it plus,thank you and good luck with a great app
