ElliottGarage presents EGSY01 analog synth v2.0, featuring InterApp audio, AU3, CoreMIDI, Audiobus and much more! With EGSY01 you can create sounds without any limit, from modern ones to vintage analog ones, working with arpeggiator, step sequencer and FM, addictive and subtractive synthesis . The totally brand new audio engine generate your sound mixing 2 oscillators with 4 selectable waveforms, and you can watch the sound created on the oscilloscope screen. You can set the sounds through the panels "Oscillators", "ADSR/LFO", "FM", "FX" and "Settings", and play with any master keyboard or MIDI controller (CORE MIDI), or creating a wireless MIDI network, or again sending the audio signal to other apps with InterApp audio or AUDIOBUS. The keyboard is touch sensitive, and you can modulate the sound by sliding your finger up and down on the keys or moving the pitch modulation (assignable to various parameters of the synth from "Settings" panel). You can also set your favorite musical scale on the keyboard and easily play over your songs. Stereo delay and Arpeggiator steps time can be synchronize in the BPM tempo panel, to generate incredible rythmic figures. Features: - 2 oscillators with selectable waveforms, volume, octave e detune - InterApp Instrument & AU3 compliant - MIDI In from other app and MIDI controllers - 4 Waveforms (Sine, Saw, Triangle, PWM) - Core midi/Network midi - MIDI Learn functionality to map all knobs and slider to your external MIDI controller - Vca / Vcf - Evenlope ADSR - FM Synthesis panel (with 2 operators) - Panel BPM tempo, with tap tempo, tempo sync for Delay & Arpeggiator, and subdivisions (4/4, 6/8 and 8/8) - Arpeggiator - 4 different types of arpeggiator, gate, selection arpeggio octaves - Step sequencer with selection from 4 to 16 steps and pitch values ​​root, fifth, 1 octave, 1 octave fifth, 2 octave - Setting for keyboard and arpeggiator portamento - Stereo delay (can be synchronized with the arpeggiator) - Panel FX (delay + crush + noise) - VoiceSynth effect with Keyboard Controlled option - Granular effect - High Pass and Low Pass Filter - Keyboard with 6 octaves and control on filter cutoff - Keyboard musical scales (56 different types) - Modulation wheel can be assigned to different parameters - Oscilloscope - Presets save - overwrite - exchange - LFO with selectable amplitude and frequency - Audiobus, Interapp & AU3 - Polyphony - Universal App * the app includes presets designed by Red Sky Lullaby, SoundOfIzrael and Alfonso Fo' Corace [Fo's Room]

TB Flowtones Virtual Analog Synthesizer app and AUv3 plug-in Thanks to it's true VA synthesis engine, the use of analog-modelled non-linear filters and extensive modulation options, Flowtones sounds warmer and more analog than digital romplers and wavetable-based synths. TB Flowtones comes as stand-alone app as well as AUv3 plugin. True virtual analog synthesis features: - 4 VCO architecture (two voice layers with two VCOs each) - 4 synthesis engine types, in part modelled after famous analog synthesisers - 36 analog VCO waveforms featuring all classic waveforms and more - All VCO waveforms support pulse width modulation - Full stereo and mono unison modes for each VCO independently - Noise and subharmonic oscillators for each VCO - Unique ring and self-modulation matrix - High-quality, warm, non-linear filters (VCF) with over 30 filter types, including unique multi-resonance filters Modulation features: - Four LFOs with 30 waveforms each - LFOs can modulate other LFOs, including themselves! - Three additional envelope generators, with key velocity modulation - Quick access to modulation strengths through context menus - Hundreds of modulation signal paths available - LFOs can produce noise as waveform to randomly modulate other parameters; for example to simulate slight variations in analog filter parameters as they happen in analog circuits. Pro-grade effects - Studio-quality reverb, delay, and chorus effects - Unique formant filter to add vocal character - Analog and digital distortion / bit crushing effects - Master equaliser and peak limiter for final touch - Non-linear power supply simulation for authentic interaction between notes Step sequencer - Fully integrated, intuitive step sequencer - Can trigger chords and note series / phrases - Can run asynchronously or synchronously to the host - Smart copy/paste of note series to improve workflow - Smart zoom: edit fine details while keeping an overview over the full sequence Presets and intelligent randomizer - Flowtones comes with hundreds of presets to spark your creativity - Intelligent randomizer to explore endless sound synthesis possibilities What you should know: - Licenses acquired for this platform are not compatible with other platforms. - Audio Unit (AUv3) extensions require an iPad mini 2, iPad 4 or later models.
