Rithmatic
FM synth with 36,000 patches
Free
Thirty-six thousand DX7 voices, playable the second you open the app. Nothing to download, nothing to plug in, nothing to sign up for.
Rithmatic is a DX7-family FM synthesizer and patch library, with a six-operator patch builder you can hear with nothing plugged in. Browse, build and play patches from a library of tens of thousands — connect a Korg Volca FM2 over USB and it becomes a full two-way editor for the hardware too.
A LIBRARY THAT SHIPS FULL
• 36,118 unique DX7 voices are bundled with the app. No download, no account, no network — they are there the first time you open it.
• Search by name, or filter by what a patch actually sounds like: family, character, algorithm, brightness.
• Mark favorites, arrange collections, and audition anything — no hardware required.
• Every voice is credited to the archive it came from, and to its designer where a bank names one. See the in-app attribution list.
PLAY IT INSTANTLY — NO HARDWARE NEEDED
• A DX7-compatible synthesis engine runs inside the app, so you can play any patch from the on-screen keyboard.
• Every memory pad starts loaded with a real voice from the bundled ROM — open the app and there's already something to play.
PATCH BUILDER
• Edit all six operators on a graph you can see: the algorithm, the cables, feedback, and each operator's envelope and ratio.
• Draw envelopes directly on the amplitude field.
• Save to your library, send to the edit buffer, or write to a numbered slot.
WITH A VOLCA FM2 CONNECTED
• Read the FM2's current patch, send to keys, or write to any of its 64 memory slots.
• Back up all 16 sequencer patterns and restore them.
• Capture the whole instrument to a snapshot and put it back later.
• Import your own banks — standard DX7 .syx and .sys files.
BEYOND THE VOLCA FM2
• Set the target to DX7-compatible in Settings and Rithmatic will drive a DX7 (mkI/II), TX7, TX802 or the original Volca FM over standard Yamaha voice dumps. Those are send-only instruments, so the patterns and snapshot features are Volca FM2 only.
Rithmatic works offline, keeps your files on your device, and collects no personal data — no account, no analytics, no ads.
The library, the patch builder, the pre-loaded pads and the in-app synth all work the moment you open the app, with nothing plugged in. Connect a Korg Volca FM2 over USB and the instrument features unlock too.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
The on-screen keyboard plays chords, there is a recorder, and the output no longer spikes on big chords. Thank you to everyone who has written in with reports and requests: nearly everything in this release came from your feedback.
- The on-screen keyboard holds chords. Play as many notes at once as you have fingers, where on iPhone it managed only one at a time
- New octave buttons above the keys reach the whole range, so no part of the keyboard has to be dragged into view
- A limiter keeps chords and loud patches from slamming into the ceiling, which is most noticeable on headphones
- Record what the app plays and share it as a WAV, from the new key beside Play
- Recording captures the performance rather than the monitoring level, so a quiet volume setting still gives you a full sounding file
