Simple and elegant tone generator with two Oscillators and one Noise generator, each with individual lowpass filters.
Use it for testing purposes or to make old-school electronic drone music.
All three modules have amplitude control and lowpass filter. The oscillators can produce one of four waveforms: sine, triangle, sawtooth and square.
The Oscillator is available for $0.99 for a limited time.
Unity synthesizer can create professional quality synth sounds with on screen or external MIDI keyboard. The base configuration includes two synth engines (Retro AS-1 analog and Unity DS-1 sample playback) and twenty three audio effects, along with seven sound banks including General MIDI, Best of Retro AS-1, Pipe Organ, Rock Pop drum and percussion loops banks. An arpeggiator, sequencer, and scales can be used for real-time MIDI playback.
What’s New in Version 1.2.2
– multiple MIDI channel support, up to 16 MIDI channels with GM drum support on channel 10
– MIDI legato pedal (CC#68) support puts program in ‘legato last’ mode when the pedal is pressed
– MIDI expression (CC#11) supports accent volume properly
– restoring after previous failed/incomplete restore displays restore status properly
Additional in-app purchases include sound libraries and banks, synth and effects parameter editors, appearances, arpeggiators, sequences, and scales.
Fourteen synthesis engines along with twenty three audio effects are part of the complete package. All synthesizer, modulation, and effects parameter editing is supported to edit existing sounds, or create your own new ones. User banks can be stored to iCloud, allowing you to access your custom sounds from all of your iOS devices.
Standard MIDI file sequences are supported via the Document folder accessed via iTunes.
Synthesis engines:
AS-1 – analog model with three oscillators, ring modulator, two multimode filters, and portamento
DS-1 – sample playback with two stereo time-stretch oscillators, two multimode filters, and portamento
SP-1 – sample playback for AIFF or wave files
BW-1 – bowed string model with bow, position, and string parameters
CL-1 – clarinet model with breath, reed, mouthpiece, embouchure, and bore parameters
BR-1 – brass model with breath, mouthpiece, embouchure, and bore parameters
FL-1 – flute model with breath, embouchure, and bore parameters
EP-1 – electric piano model with hammer, tine, and pickup parameters
HS-1 – hammered dual string model with hammer, string, and filter parameters
GL-1 – glottal model with oscillator and two eight stage vocal tracts
FM-1 – eight oscillator frequency modulation with variable audio routings
VS-1 – four oscillator sampled vector synthesis
WS-1 – eight oscillator sampled wave sequencing
AS-2 – analog model with five oscillator, ring modulator, three multimode filter, and portamento
All synthesis engines include a complete modulation matrix. Modulation sources include MIDI controllers as well as the envelopes, LFOs, ramps, and random generators. Modulation destinations include volume and pan as well as synthesis engine specific ones such as the AS-1 filter cutoff, or CL-1 breath input. Modulation routings route a source to a destination by an amount with optional tables or smoothing.

What’s New in Version 1.1
Fixed pitch not working at ultra high setting
Renamed confusing terms :”Echo” is now “Time” and “STOP” is now “REPEAT” to make things clearer.
Time control is smoother
A modern perspective to the dub-siren. Can also be used as a weird sound effect generator or theremin. Using the touch-pad you can control the volume and pitch at the same time. You can draw the envelope and “REPEAT” set to on, you will loop this pattern forever or fading out like an echo with “FADE” turned on. You can sync the patterns by placing and removing finger to the beat of the music. You can choose from three sound sources, modulate with four LFO shapes and adjust the modulation speed and depth. By controlling “TIME”, you give the echo effect by slowing down and lowering the pitch at the same time or vice-versa. You can come up with some interesting sound effects from synth drones to retro computer game noises. Although this has a basic repeat effect, it may still benefit from a reverb unit or an echo chamber as well. We aim to add more effects and sounds with updates.
Digital Dub Siren is available for $0.99

About WaveMapping
Wavemapping uses visual cues to enable sound design. This may not sound too revolutionary, however it is a completely different way of programming sounds: you do not start with a lot of detailed setting, but with a combined set of parameters which you can select with the touch and swipe of a finger. And the combination of those parameters belonging to a Module make sense of course, it gives the user (being experienced or not) a very fast way for creating unique sounds.
MiniMapper is available for $3.99
