Synthesizer specially designed for creating and experiments with ambient soundscapes in wide range from noises to melodic instruments and everything in between. The sound engine of SynthScaper has its own unique sounding differ from any other software synths. You can construct outstanding melodic pads or atonal soundscapes from different kind of built-in or downloaded samples by using all power of multi-layered oscillators, chains of filters and effects, envelope generators and low frequency oscillators. Or you can create your own sound scenes combining oscillators presets from build-in library. Or just use predefined scenes. Very flexible settings of each module give you a great opportunity for creating unique and colorful sounding from usual instruments or natural samples and adding automated changes and spatial effects for an endless variations. Different ways of assigning screen and MIDI keyboards to the oscillators provide very advanced features to control the sound. The on-screen keyboard is adapted to create special effects and varying the continuous textures and drones. The Designer tool uses the neural network to generates new presets based on already existing by adding some random variations and checking the result so that the new preset remains similar to the selected pattern. Key features: - Three independent oscillators. - Three layers for each oscillator. - Six voices for each layer. - Six envelope generators. - Six low frequency oscillators. - Arpeggiator / sequencer for each oscillator. - Designer tool for generate scenes and presets. - General processing of level, balance, LPF, HPF for each layer. - Three slots for filters and effects after each oscillator. - Twenty additional selectable filters and effects. - Spatial mixer with two different sound space. - Screen keyboard adapted for continuous textures and soundscapes. - Predefined set of keyboard scales and custom scales. - Full screen, double and split features for screen keyboard. - Options of screen keyboard for pitch, continuous, modify, velocity. - Supports for two virtual and two MIDI keyboards at the same time. - Flexible assigning keyboards and controls to the oscillators. - Two main effects controls can combine several parameters. - Uploading samples thru Dropbox, Web access, clipboard. - Auto and manual tuning of samples with frequency analyzer. - Set of predefined and ready-to-use scenes and presets. - Built-in library of samples of instruments, synths, noises, etc. - Possibility to pack and share scenes and samples as single file. - Supports loop points and note info in WAV files. - Detailed application description (built-in and PDF file). - Inter-App audio compatible (with transport and BPM controls). - Supports Audiobus 3 with "State Saving" and MIDI features. - Supports Ableton Link with start / stop sync.

Still my must beloved Synth on IOS period!

I actually use this is a number of my tracks! Okay this synth has been around awhile, and I’ve have been using it for several years, and it NEVER gets old sound designing with this synth… I call it a synth but it is so much more than just a synth. It’s a literal BEAST and it serves so many endless possibilities of placement within my music (and I play a lot of Heavy Metal) I write with a guitar acoustic, or electric, and then will go back and lay Bass, drums, and vocals, then I will go in and begin to layer, and this thing allows you to add so MUCH into 1 preset that there is nothing you can’t fully do with this 1 synth! The warmth that this synth brings to a sample that you load makes this synth more like a sampler/synth! I will open an empty preset and have 9 sounds that I can add by browsing the pre-installed sounds, or pull my own sounds in by Dropbox, I will add a cello in say the C1 octave range and maybe add Bass in the -1 Octave then and then add a muted piano in the C3 range…switch to the 2nd slot and add maybe some thunder, then a gentle rain, as well as adding someone breathing in the -1 octave then the third slot and add a haunting wind in the C0 octave range, and then add some drama by adding someone distorted guitar! I will then go to the effect page and it is ready for some complex effecting on each slot! I will play 1 note and it’s like a cinematic film sound track! Love this app!

I have Soundscaper and Fieldscaper, along with a million other synth apps. I wasn’t all that eager to get this one in addition, but boy was I wrong! I just spent a couple of hours literally playing with it, and it’s one of the most amazing synths I’ve ever heard. I can only barely comprehend everything that’s going on, but it doesn’t matter. Just tweaking the endless controls, and pushing the random button now and then brings up vast quantities of beautiful weird sounds, musical and otherwise. Bravo to the programmer! This is truly genius!

More Potential Than I Know What To Do With!

Pros:- Layers upon layers of user control- A room full of analog/digital audio tech in your hand- Developers still update and improve app- Multiple feasible applications- Relatively cheap for capabilitiesCons:- Harsh learning curve- User can’t create own UI color paletteIf you are serious about making music, sound effects, or audio based environments, this app is one of the best things you can get without spending a ton of money limiting yourself to a desktop and a room full of analog machines. The amount of freedom this app gives the user is amazing for a mobile format. If you are an audio engineer, music maker, or just someone trying to burn some free time, please try this app out and give the developers some love.

As others have said the learning curve is a little steep but just messing with all the controls will result in some nice happy accidents. One question I have as I had noticed recently that the “special edition” has auv3 support. If we want that functionality do we need to shell out another $5 or are you planning on bringing that functionality here? Thanks for all your work, I own all your other apps that aren’t SE too and they are just as fun and there is so much to explore :)
