Sonic Synth is very capable FM Synthesizer app with 3 oscillators. Every oscillator is independent and can generate 4 wave forms. The app works with 44100 Hz sample rate so the sound quality is great. Core MIDI - support for MIDI keyboards via USB The touch keyboard is also very responsive and dynamic - feels like a real instrument. Keys are big enough. The last wave form is our secret algorithm for string sound also generated by the oscillators. Variety of sounds can be created and even changed real time while you are playing using the setting of the 3 oscillators of the synthesizer. Sonic Synth main features: - 3 oscillators - 4 wave form types for every oscillator - volume, modulation, tone and detune for every oscillator - envelope filters (attack sustain release) - multitouch - fast and usable piano keyboard You can now use your phone or tablet as a recording instrument.
Wobulator
This audio effect plugin provides a stereo chorus with a unique "wobble" feature for a less predictable modulation. It can be used standalone or within compatible music production applications.
- Stereo chorus/modulation effect
- Adjustable delay time (10-100ms)
- Variable modulation rate (0.01-2.00Hz)
- "Wobble" parameter for unpredictable modulation
- Adjustable dry/wet mix
- AUv3 compatible plugin

Wobulator Modulator Plugin (AUv3) Wobulator is an audio effect plugin that can run standalone, or in any AU compatible host application such as Logic or GarageBand. Overview Wobulator is a stereo chorus / modulation effect with a wobbly twist! The chorus effect is typically achieved by modulating the time of a delayed version of the dry signal, and mixing the two. Typically, these delay times are very short, around 20ms. Wobulator includes a "Wobble" parameter that adds variation to both the rate and depth, which makes the modulation cycle less obvious to the listener. Parameters Active - Toggles the effect On or Off. Delay - Varies the base delay time between 10-100ms. Higher delay times can be used to create ADT (automatic double tracking) type effects. Rate - Sets the base modulation LFO frequency between 0.01 and 2.00Hz. Depth - Sets the amount of base delay modulation. For example, a 50ms Delay, with 50% Depth, will be modulated between 25 and 50ms. Wobble - Sets the amount of variation introduced by an internal wobulation matrix! At extreme settings the unpredictable nature of the resulting modulation can sound almost tape-like. When Wobble is set to zero, Wobulator behaves like a standard chorus effect. Mix - Sets the balance between the dry / input signal and the wet / processed sound. At 50%, the mix is an equal amount of dry and wet. At 100%, you hear the wet / processed sound only, which is good for wobbly tape effects! If the name sounds familiar, Wobulator is an updated version of the WOBULATER module developed for Voltage Modular by Waverley Instruments.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Wobulator at 5.0 against Sonic Synth's 3.0. Wobulator also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Sonic Synth costs $1.99 and Wobulator $1.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Wobulator holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wobulator has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Sonic Synth ships an update every 6 months, Wobulator every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
