ANILOG is bursting onto the scene with a totally new approach to making synthesized instruments---this isn't your typical analog synth. Designed by musicians and battle-tested in live performance, ANILOG is a mobile powerhouse! It's great for vintage video game, chiptune, and synth pop music. Perform live music sets with pattern looping and cueing. Load ANILOG in your favorite DAW as an Audio Unit plugin! (ANILOG supports most AUv3 hosts.) For each instance of ANILOG you can choose single instruments in Instrument Mode, or set to Sequencer Mode to play more complex backing tracks. ANILOG is also fully Audiobus and Inter-App Audio compatible. Combine 3 oscillators and a noise envelope to produce bright 80s-style synths, rich deep bass, punchy kicks and snares, a variety of screaming leads, and even breathy woodwinds! It's loaded with 168 hand-crafted presets that respond to touch velocity on the on-screen keyboard or an attached MIDI keyboard. The built-in multi-track sequencer lets you play up to 32 voices simultaneously with per-track reverb and volume send levels. Each song contains its own instrument patch library so you can create the perfect sound. Compose and share songs wherever you are. Speed up your editing by attaching a hardware keyboard. Also supports cool effects like a built-in echo tank and sidechain ducking.

Verdict

The call

Hyperion Synthesizer's advantage is price ($4.99 vs $5.99) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 26.0). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
