Rhythm Studio For iPad

Rhythm Studio For iPad

Rhythm Studio balances advanced music making features by using an easy to understand interface resembling real instruments. This means that one button does one thing just like it would with real hardware. Knobs turn, switches slide, and buttons press. You won’t get lost in abstract interfaces, menus, or design.

Imagine having a studio of rare vintage synths and drum machines in the palm of your hand. Beautifully rendered synthesizers make seeing the app as enjoyable as hearing it. Rhythm Studio is the next best thing to having the real hardware.

Rhythm Studio allows you to make music the way you want to by giving you three different ways to create your song.

LH Rubbing is a polyphony software synthesizer app for iPad running on iOS 6.0 or later. There are three wave oscillators, one noise oscillator, two LFOs and one three type embedded filter (low-pass, hi-pass and bandpass). Each wave oscillator can generate three kinds of waveform which are triangle, square and saw wave. LFO can be attached to different modul for different modulation or control such as OSC Pitch, PW, Filter Cutoff Frequency, Filter Resonance and OSC Output Mixing. he frequency and amplitude of the 1st LFO can be modified by the 2nd LFO. Pitch, Filter Cutoff Frequency and Resonance can be controlled by the ADSR envelope generator. The Keyboard Rubbing brings up vibrato while controlling the vibrato rate and depth.
