I love this synth

Really interesting experimental image-audio synth. Wonderful otherworldly sounds.

Amazing simulator!

Works great on a Mac M4 with a DAW. Thanks to the author for recreating the legend. Endless possibilities.

Brilliant App Expanding on the Singular ANS Synthesizer

Russian audio engineer Yevgeny Murzin’s 1958 ANS synthesizer, there is only one, as a frequently updated tastefully expanded multi platform app/software. Thank you, thank you, thank you Alexander Zolotov!

innovation by design.

it took me a while to form a cohesive project with this, i'll admit. however, once I did, it was incredibly satisfying. i'd like to conclude that the best usage for this app is forming unique soundscape with a darker sci-fi appeal. making use of all the tools—unique brushes, different gradients, and otherwise—you can make quite a bit of complex tracks with an otherwise "simple" interface.

Ambient ready

Macht Spaß, die Sounds sind gut für Ambient Musik.

A ‘No Brainer’!

Update: Oh my gosh, you really don’t know much about iOS! Use hot-key’s how? With what keyboard? iOS doesn’t have a control key nor an escape key. Are you saying I need to buy an external keyboard since iOS only opens it’s virtual keyboard when in a text field? Rescaling the Font isn’t designed correctly. You’re using a reference point on the right side of the letter so as you increase the Font size, the note labels go off screen to the left. Looks sloppy. It wouldn’t be so bad if you weren’t charging customers again for virtually the same product, it really is just an update, and giving us ‘beta ware’ on top of it. Tell us so in the app’s description. I found an app to created a PDF of you online manual since you were too lazy to do that for your customers. —- I can’t close the synth controls (which are WAY to small, unnecessarily). It won’t toggle off. Touching outside of the control window won’t close it like other windows do. The synth controls for ADSR and volume do not work. User manual should be available as a PDF, not just a web page. Why is it so hard for developers to get through their heads that not everybody always has excess to the Internet! The app’s manual says VA3 will crash if you attempt to load the wrong type of wave file! It should never crash. That’s just bad coding. The manual says that Start/Stop AU doesn’t work yet. And actually, the manual is foe Windows and Macs. The developer just inserted a few lines for the iOS version, leaving all the Windows/Mac Hot-keys! My gosh it only would take 10 minutes to revise the manual for iOS. How disappointing. 5-stars to 1-star. —- I still have/use version 2.3b so when I saw the enhanced version, I bought it, again. 🤓 It’s has always been the only music app that drawing forms by your finger really worked. I know, other apps have the feature but they usually impossible to really draw waves accurately. Virtual ANS 3 is perfect to go along with Mood, Spacecraft and OuttaBass. I still do not use SunVox as it’s an eye test, the text is too small to deal with.

Response from developer

You can increase the size of the UI elements here: Settings -> Sys.Settings -> Interface -> Scale -> disable autoscale and set another values for the "Button scale" and the "Font scale". ADSR and volume controls are only for the notes activated from the keyboard (screen, PC or MIDI). Press the "Polyphonic Synth" to enable these controls. All the hot keys are universal, so you can use it in any system, including the iOS. If you have some questions, or if you found some bugs - just email me nightradio@gmail.com. I will help you as soon as possible. Thank you!

Really interesting way of generating sounds

Really interesting way of adding spectral or microtonal information as sound generation by using an image for creating that information — much like a wavetable, but using the pixel rgb information. In a weird way it’s an interesting experiment on leaving ‘pictures’ in a piece of music; I’d love for something similar to allow a video input for changing information over time — or a strange loopback from his Quantum VJ — video from that as input to Virtual ANS which in turn feeds back to Quantum VJ…hmmm

Just brilliant

All of this developer’s apps are fantastic. This is absolutely priceless for emulating those “Forbidden Planet” vibes. There is nothing else like it on the App Store.

Фантастический АНС

Купил в знак признательности разработчику все его проекты. Любимый голос не смотря на то что имею большое количество синтов и еврорек

AWESOME AND BEAUTIFUL

This is amazing and I will be using it a lot. If you are into ambient textures then you should get this.

Amazing

Absolute amazing synth
Again Mr Zolotov create a genius app !

I’m really enjoying this app

It’s just cool and fun to play with! I’ve been enjoying capturing live video of my virtual ANS sessions and layering the videos with live Theremin performance.

Very deep and fun

Rating after my first try using it because it’s freaking incredible. Can’t believe I waited so long. Great for experimental music and creating atmospheres and also much more to discover .

can’t make bigger loops

):

I bought it, but, why?

If you would have added an import feature that automatically pixelate/granulate a photo and placed it on the grid. Your face would make music. We could add to the image or erase. Any photo could make music… If you would have included this feature you would be very rich by now. Unfortunate, that you have abandoned this potentially fabulous app.
PS, I’m really surprised you missed this concept!

Think twice before upgrading…..

Not sure what to make of this. I just upgraded from the old version and plenty of features and workflows changed enough to make this not a drop in upgrade. There is learning curve. Some features seem hopeful like notes per octave, but getting this or othe features to work is a challenge. And the default tiny sonogram screen that is really hard to expand is annoying.

So much fun

Electronized swamp echoes real moody stuff

grossartig

An alle Soundschrauber auf diesem Planeten und anderswo: Kaufen!

Metasynth fürs iPad

Wer Metasynth noch kennt, der wird sich schnell zurechtfinden.
Allerdings kann Virtual Ans 3 noch nicht alle Tricks, die Metasynth kann. So fehlt zb eine Quantisierungsmöglichkeit auf musikalisch sinnvolle Tonleitern oder einige andere Effekte oder die Möglichkeit anhand der Farbe die Stereoposition zu bestimmen. Es gibt also noch Potential. Trotzdem hat man mit der App Spaß und es ist eine schöner Zeitvertreib.

Fantastic !

Great app again.
Nature oscillator, spectrum gem are really good too.
Thank you very much mr Alexander Zolotov
Keep up your great work.
