Description of App
Synthesis without the spaghetti.
From the creators of Grain Science and Sylo Synth (used by Gorillaz and The Flaming Lips).
A powerful hybrid synthesiser with a magical interface.
Pick from 140 built-in patches β or design your own. Start with additive synthesis, wavetables, or a sophisticated mix. Add rich modulation, effects and filters, controlled by powerful LFOs and beyond. Make vibrant leads, vast soundscapes, compelling basses, warm bath or deep sea pads, and so much more.
The sound is complex, but the controls are not. Synth engine and UI both offer clarity and power β youβre holding in your hands a miracle of touch-screen technology, why limit it to the switches and dials of decades-old hardware?
Mitosynth takes a simple approach: With a tap, almost any dial can be switched out for a graph with automation controls, including LFOs, 5-stage DADSR envelopes, ingenious noise generator, step sequencer, BPM sync β and MIDI, of course. Plus XY pads for the hands-on approach.
And you can combine them. Use one automation to control which (or how much) of two others affect a setting. Many of the automation controls are themselves automatable. You can repeat this, going to deeper levels. LFOception!
The flexible FX chain means no messing with complicated routing tables, or stringing cables around until your screen looks like a plate of pasta: Slot the distortion, filter, delay and other effects you want, in the order you want. Simple!
Powerful like a modular synth. Clean and straightforward like a modern iOS app.

Note: Wooji Juice thinks spaghetti is great providing it is on a plate with a nice sauce, not your screen :)

Can you really make music on these things?
I have now heard of 2 synthesizer apps that sound really great, but the music apps for the iDevices i've encountered in the past have felt more like toys to me, it has felt like you couldn't do anything useful with them but having said all this i could be wrong but that's a topic for another day. My question now is can you really sorta make music on this thing? I guess you'll almost have to have a keyboard with you to make some music like an external synth etc. It really sounds interesting so i'm going to check these both beasts out. is there a keyboard so you can play the synth from within the app
Well you'll certainly want to
external equipment
Thanks for the info. Sounds like Mytosynth could be something worth looking into. What midi interface would you recommend? I have a Akai USB midi keyboard that i was planning on hooking up to my iPad with the synth on. I don't know much about midi interfaces for the iPad and other iDevices so thankful for any advise.
I don't know much about it
I don't know much about it but it seems to me that you should be able to plug your phone into your keyboard in' the same way you plug it into the computer, except you would need a cable that goes from phone to USB, not mini usb. Go to your nearest Guitar center or whatever store you have that sells keyboards, and they will probably have what you need.
interfaces
The thing you need is the iPad camera connection kit, which actually also works with iPhones. It will allow you to plug in some USB devices and I'm 90% sure midi keyboards work as well. If you want to use a keyboard that only does midi, the only MIDI interface I'm aware of is the iRig midi. This doesn't mean there aren't any other, and maybe even cheeper interfaces.
