ButterSynth vs Stand Partner

ButterSynth is a hybrid 6-oscillator wavetable/FM/sample-based AUV3 and standalone synthesizer with a vast sonic range, from gentle pads to screaming leads and basslines. Mix any combination of wavetable, FM, sample and other synthesis engines for one truly massive sound. For the more advanced users, you'll love using ButterSynth's thoughtfully designed interface, incredibly powerful modulation matrix, fully-featured internal FX rack, factory waveform and sample libraries, and almost limitless scope for fun, experimentation and sound design. For less experienced synth programmers, ButterSynth includes a library of hundreds of ready-to-use presets, sparking your creativity to start making music right away. Headline features include - Mix and match any combination of 6 synthesis engines to either emulate your favourite synths of yester-year or build a synth ready for the future. - Dual-wavetable engines also feature 9 phase modes, wave folding, and deep unison controls modelled on vintage hardware synths. - Built-in wavetable editor gives you the ability to tweak, morph, and hand-draw your own custom wavetables, with each wavetable supporting up to 256 frames. - FM engine offers 4 operators with a selection of 12 modulation paths. Each operator can be loaded with any waveform from the factory or user library, and can also self-modulate via the feedback dial. - Sample and Granulator engines both let you load samples (either imported or from the factory library) and control precisely how they are chopped, triggered and layered. Both also feature the same powerful unison modes available in the WT engine. - Highly configurable 32-slot modulation matrix featuring precise mix/max ranges, self-modulation (via the amount target), plus configurable response curves and layer modes. Simply long-tap any parameter to set it as a Mod destination! - Full suite of versatile control sources which includes: 4x MSEG-style looping curve envelopes, 4x LFOs, 4x step sequencers, X/Y pad with motion recording, 8x Macro dials and a powerful arpeggiator inspired by Kirnu Interactive’s Cream. - The EFX rack lets you build your own insert effects chain using any combination of the 16 built-in FX modules. Modules available at launch include delay, reverb, distortion, chorus, OTT compression etc. Note - FX parameters can also be targeted by the mod matrix, unlocking the possibility to program ‘per voice’ modulated effects. - All presets, wavetables, samples and other settings are stored in the Files app, making bulk import/export, backup and community sharing quick and easy. - All of this is housed in an irresistibly designed 4-tab UI that makes synth programming quick and fun.

Record a take on any instrument, or sing one, and the app draws it out note by note: the pitch of each one, how far it sat from centre, and where the pulse pushed or dragged. And the Score tab is a music stand: put your part on it and read it full screen, mark it up, and play from it. WHAT IS IN IT • Tuner: a fast, steady chromatic tuner for any instrument or voice, with the A adjustable from 400 to 450 Hz. • Record: a count-in, a take, and a review of every note in it. Takes are kept the moment they finish. • Score: photograph your part, or import a PDF or MusicXML, and read it full screen. Turn pages with a tap, a swipe or a pedal, half a page at a time if you like, or let them turn by themselves; lock the page for a performance. Annotate with a pencil or a finger — nibs, widths, colours, lasso, undo — and transpose an engraved part to any key. Record a take without leaving the page. • Coach: what has improved since the last take, and what has not. • Metronome: subdivisions, accents, tempo ramps. • Library: every take and every score, in folders and setlists. FOR EVERY INSTRUMENT Strings, winds, brass, voice, piano: if it plays a pitch, Stand Partner can hear it. Choose your instrument once and the tuner, the ranges and the review fit it. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR DEVICE There is no account, no server, and no analytics. Recordings, photographs of your music and everything the app works out from them are stored on this device only. After the app has loaded it makes no network requests at all. The app is open source, so that claim can be checked.
