iOS Music Production New, Free Loops, and Hardware

One of my absolute favorite synths for iOS just got even better. The “spawn” feature in this synth is wicked. It allows you to create new patches through a randomize process. The spawn feature is improved in this version and expanded.

What’s New in Version 3.2

This update includes…
• Expanded and improved SPAWN – use AI to magically create new and better presets at the touch of one button
• Free preset bank from New Wave Presets (NWP Lab30)
• iOS9 compatability
• Check out the Magellan Store – more preset packs coming soon

Magellan is the bold new professional analog modeling synthesizer for the iPad. 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.

Complete with a full FX rack, a total of six oscillators, dual filters per engine, multiple unison stages, extensive modulation matrix, dedicated arps, powerful MIDI capabilities, and a polyphonic step-sequencer – the aural possibilities with Magellan are infinite.
