3D Synth
Read full descriptionHide full description
3DSynth! A chromatic touch synthesizer and on-device recorder. Chromatic by design - 3DSynth lets you play all notes and frequencies continuously—not locked to MIDI steps—so you control pitch directly with your finger like a real instrument! Real-time, responsive play - Low latency and immediate feedback keep your phrasing natural and expressive while you glide and shape the note in motion. Shape your sound - Choose different instruments (oscillator, FM, plucked), sculpt with ADSR and add effects like reverb, modulation, delay, distortion, and EQ! Record on device - Capture your takes directly to the app’s local recordings folder for sharing and backup. **Important** Deleting the app removes its local data, including recordings and settings. Export anything you want to keep before uninstalling or resetting the device. Enjoy and thanks for downloading!
Touchophone
Read full descriptionHide full description
Touchophone turns your screen into a synthesizer. Touch the keys, twist the knobs, and see what happens. It's the kind of instrument you pick up and never want to put down. Play a melody. Stack notes into chords. Crank the filter. Add some delay and let it echo into space. There are no rules — just sounds waiting to be discovered. WHAT'S INSIDE - A 2-octave chromatic keyboard you play with your fingers - 4 notes at once — hold chords, play melodies - Sub-oscillators to fatten up your sound - A filter knob that goes from warm to screamy - Delay that repeats and fades like an echo in a tunnel - An LFO that wobbles everything in the best way - Envelope controls to shape how notes start and fade EXPRESSION STRIP - Bend notes up and down - Sweep the filter with your finger (wah!) - Add vibrato for extra flavor THE SMALL STUFF - Play with multiple fingers at once - Slide between keys - Use the expression strip while holding notes - Works on iPhone and iPad - No ads. No subscriptions. No account. Just sounds.

Verdict
The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Touchophone at 16.0 against 3D Synth's 18.5. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
