SynthStation transforms your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad into a portable music production studio for mobile music creation. SynthStation gives you three powerful synthesizers for creating and modifying sonic textures used for melodies, chords, and bass lines. Built around Akai Professional’s history in synthesis and drawing on the newest MINIAK synth, SynthStation sounds great and offers wide-ranging sonic flexibility with its virtual analog synthesis. From the moment you start SynthStation, you'll know your way around. It is jam-packed with tools to help you create music with the convenience of your touch screen and each section works the way you work. With SynthStation, you can create and save sequences and complete songs. The app contains three different three-oscillator synths and a range of drum kits you can sequence and mix right in the SynthStation. For creating melodic and accompaniment parts, the SynthStation contains an arpeggiator with preset patterns, built-in effects and filters, and an XY touch control interface for expressive control of key parameters. PERFORM Play with keys, XY and arpeggiator controls. This is perfect place to make magic happen because it gives you access to all the common controls you’ll need in a performance or creation setting. SYNTH Complete synthesis controls from oscillators to LFOs, envelopes, and more. You can control a wide range of filters to dial in exactly the sound you need. Choose from Sine, Triangle, Square or Sawtooth on your VCO and start creating your own signature sounds from scratch. Filter Cutoff and Resonance are just two taps away. DRUMS In addition to SynthStation's three synthesizers, we've included drum kits and a visual representation of the most iconic beat making tool in the world - MPC pads. Just pick your kit and start tapping beats anywhere, anytime. Includes: Drum Kit – select the drum kit and play it with onscreen pads. Drum Edit – tune, mix, and customize your drums. SEQUENCER Keyboard grid – see your keyboard sequencing and edit notes easily. Drum grid – build and modify drum tracks with a visible sequencer grid. SONG/SEQUENCE Select and save your Song/Sequence projects. You can recall your Songs and work on them later, and even export them for further editing in your desktop audio applications. CONTROL XY – two axes of control for hands-on, real-time control. Just like a joystick, the XY controller can snap back to the zero point. Tempo – control tempo and even tap in the tempo you want. MIXER The Mixer in SynthStation includes touch-controlled faders for each of the three synthesizers and the drum section as well as FX send for each. Mixer – mix all the levels of the parts and effects. Just like a hardware mixer, there are faders, mutes, and effect routing. Effects – select and control FX type and parameters. SynthStation Studio enables you to create and produce music anywhere on your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad.

Jack Machine Pro puts a Chicago house drum machine and a dedicated live performance surface on your iPhone and iPad. Build your beat in Edit mode, then switch to Performance Mode to shape a set without changing the saved pattern. THE KIT Sixteen synthesised drum voices, including kick, snare, clap, hats, toms, congas, cowbell and percussion. Shape each voice with its sound controls, level and pan, add plate reverb, and bring the kit together with the master compressor. THE GRID Program 8, 16 or 32 steps. Use accents, per-voice pattern lengths, swing and groove to give your rhythm movement. Four scenes let you cue pattern changes on the bar line. Undo edits, nudge a pattern with Mutate, or use randomisation for a new starting point. PERFORMANCE MODE — INCLUDED IN PRO Switch from editing to a live performance surface. • FILL, BUILD, BREAK and DROP shape transitions on the beat and bar line. • JACK stutters the beat; REPEAT and ROLL create rhythmic variations. • The XY pad puts master filter, drive and reverb under your fingers. • Momentary controls restore the underlying beat when released. • LOCK protects the performance surface from accidental edits. PLAY TOGETHER Ableton Link synchronises tempo and beat timing with compatible apps and devices on your local network. Scene Link coordinates scene changes with other Architect Series instruments. DJ Sync follows incoming MIDI Clock, and MIDI Learn connects controls to your MIDI controller. These optional connections stay on your local network. KEEP AND SHARE YOUR MUSIC Your patterns and settings are saved on-device. Export audio, stems and MIDI files for your production workflow, or save project files to move your work between devices. Background audio keeps the sequencer playing while you use another music app. Jack Machine and Jack Machine Pro share the same drum engine and editing tools. Performance Mode is exclusive to Pro within the Jack Machine pair. Pro is a separate purchase. No account, advertising or tracking. Time2Jack — The Architect Series. Made in Chicago.
