Magellan iPad Synthesizer

Magellan is a bold professional analog modeling synthesizer for the iPad and iPad Mini. Not content with just one synth, we gave Magellan TWO independent polyphonic synth engines. Individually or together, they deliver a new powerful warmth to the sound of iOS music

What’s New in Version 2.1

This free upgrade, includes intelligent preset generation, two new effects, configurable FX signal flow, user-friendly additions to the preset system and more! This update also opens up Magellan as an FX processor you can use with Audiobus.

You also get two free patch banks that you can download by visiting the Yonac forum at www.yonac.com/forum. These banks are compatible with Magellan Jr. also, and use some of the new features.

• Smart Preset Aggregation with Windowed raNdomization (SPAWN)
— Uses specially designed artifical intelligence algorithms to generate new presets on-the-fly
— Makes decisions based on the user-specified tonality parameters, such as Bass, Lead, Pad or “Weird”
— Algorithms intelligently decide and generate over 100 synth-related parameter and over 80 fx-related parameters
— Generate arp patterns in any chosen scale, or in a random scale
— Use “Surprise Me” option to give complete control to the system
— Retains 16 most recent spawns in memory under the dedicated “Recent Spawns” bank

• Use Magellan as an effects processor in Audiobus connections!
• Two new free effects,
— HEXEq: a very powerful and highly configurable 6-channel parametric equalizer with 9 filter types you can choose from for each channel, including shelving, peak, band and more.
— VC-93 Compressor: a juicy compressor with built in I/O VU meters
• Change the FX signal flow via easy to use drag-n-drop interface. Allows you to experiement with any possible linear ordering.
• MIDI inlets for all the new features
• Master output meter with clipping indicators on the main panel
• Improved launch procedure

Guitar Synth For iPad

Shredder Guitar Synth For iPad

Shredder Guitar Synth For iPad is here. As a guitarist I am extremely happy to have this app. In the past I would have to pay hundreds of dollars to get something this pro from companies like Roland for example. The tracking in this app is amazing.

Say hello to SHREDDER: the first professional iOS synthesizer designed for guitar! Raspy synth swells? Gotcha covered. Bass-doubled riffs? Yup. Strings ‘n Things for beefing up the mix? Ditto. No special synth pickup needed.

SHREDDER is a synthesizer controlled by your guitar. Pop it on, plug in your guitar, hit the “Guitar Synth” button and start jamming. SHREDDER comes with a true analog synth engine including dual oscillators, 3 types of filter, a dedicated FM envelope as well as other goodies like dual LFOs, a virtual pedalboard and more. Chose among 100+ built-in presets, or create and save endless ones of your own.

SHREDDER comes with a dedicated guitar mix fader to mix in your guitar, and has attack and decay sensitivity faders to allow you to customize guitar tracking to your playing and input interface, whether its a USB in, a guitar adapter or the plain built-in mic. Headphones are required with use of the built in-mic, and we always recommend following the manufacturer’s instructions for your audio interface to prevent feedback or a noisy signal.

But SHREDDER doesn’t just toot its own horn: It’s also a MIDI interface. Browse and select virtual MIDI compatible apps or MIDI Compatible devices inside the app, and select which one’s you’d like to control. Hit “MIDI OUT” when ready, and start driving any of your favorite apps/synths/drum machines/etc via SHREDDER. And, yes…you can drive all of the 16 MIDI channels at the same time.

Specs

— Guitar Controlled Analog Modeling Synth / MIDI Interface
— 44.1k, 16-bit CD quality audio
— No synth pickup needed: works via guitar adapter or mic (best in quiet settings w/ amplified electric or regular acoustic guitar, if using mic)

— Dual individually configurable LFOs with 7 waveforms each
— 3-Pass custom resonant filter
— Dedicated filter, amp and FM ADSR envelopes
— Built in oscilloscope
— 16 channel virtual MIDI out
— MIDI in for playing w/ external controller

Shredder is available for $4.99
