Genroku is a fun and inexpensive monophonic synthesizer app with voice filter. The sound from oscillator changes like human voice through voice filter. The Voice filter is modulated with the voice motion pattern driven by ADSR envelope; also manually controllable.
YM2151, aka OPM is a single-chip FM synthesis implementation, an eight-channel four-operator sound chip. Emulates the one used in many 80’s arcade games and home computers.

S.709 is a synthesizer that uses four multitouch points on the screen and the accelerometer to give a large amount of control over a sine wave output. It’s good for creating strange noises and sound design.
Controls
——-
Orange – Volume and Pitch (radius control pitch range)
Pink – Ramp speed and note length
Blue – Delay Length and Pitch (hold down for delay)
Green – Delay Filter and Feedback
BitWiz Audio Synth translates C-like code expressions into lo-fi 8-bit generative audio in real-time.
Explore the algorithmic music of simple bitwise arithmetic operations. Uses simple math and lines of code to generate sounds. Based on this webpage http://www.bemmu.com/music/index.html
Explore the algorithmic music of simple bitwise arithmetic operations while watching the retro-digital 3D graphics.
You don’t need to learn C to use this app, just play around with the included codes and tweak a number here or there, and strange glitchy variations will appear.
What’s New in Version 2.0
– 3D oscilloscope with real-time visuals
– XY-pad for tweaking of variables. Play BitWiz as an instrument!

BitWiz comes bundled with lots of examples, and you can easily add your own codes to the built-in library.
You can also share your codes by e-mail.
The entered code expression is used to calculate each audio frame, and can optionally include the microphone input as a variable, for crazy distortion effects!
I don’t know why this app is so popular. A few of the beats aren’t really Dubstep beats and the basses don’t sync up well. The Tebow samples are funny though. All you die hard Denver Broncos Tebow fans will probably get a kick out of it. Overall this app is kinda random and goofy. Good for a laugh but mostly a waste of money.

iPad Loops is an iOS music production blog dedicated to exposing the best iPad apps musicians, producers, and Djs. This is not a database of every app. It is, however, one of useful recommendations from someone with many years in music production. I try to update it on a daily basis (ok sometimes every two days) and I do my best to post useful apps only. My name is Jason Donnelly (Dj Puzzle).
Some of the apps that contain my sounds are Synth One, EG Segments, Hammerhead, Retronyms AudioCopy, Audio Evolution Mobile, and iMPC Pro. My work is published by Roland, Antares, Magix, Soundtrack Loops, Sample Logic, Acoustica, Native Instruments, The Grammt Museum and many more.
