Juno 106 Synth For iPad

Looks a lot like the Juno 106 and it sounds like it too. Epic Synth is designed to emulate the early analogue synths of the 80s.

Epic Synth is a polyphonic synthesizer inspired by classic synths of the 1980s. Its beautiful and straightforward interface lets you focus on the essential: the pleasure of creating new sounds! The goal is to explore sound, not interface pages.

Epic Synth’s simple and effective sound architecture stood the test of time. It’s simple enough for beginners to learn about synthesis yet powerful enough to satisfy experienced sound modellers.

Epic Synth’s sound engine provides tons of room to create great sounds, from classic leads to juicy acid basses, from 8-bit-like effects to complex evolving sonic textures.
