Description
Shape is a polyphonic synthesiser allowing the user to draw the shape of the oscillator waveform. The first half of the oscillator is represented by 32 blocks and the second half is its mirror, generating all sorts of possible raw retroish sounds. 16 pages per oscillator allows to interpolate between different shapes. Add effects like arpeggio, stereo delay and a resonant filter and record your sounds on a classic tape. Modulate any parameter with keyboard, MIDI MPE or the device accelerometer. Connect to other apps with AudioBus, IAA, AUv3 and midi.

Ratings and Reviews
raw indeed!
If you're a fan of raw waveform synthesis (no filtering - raw) you will love shapesynth. You can create chip type sounds, but shapesynth is capable of far more than that.
Being able to draw waveforms is brilliant. The add, subtract, and multiply functions create some very interesting sounds as well. A very flexible sound creator.
The sequencer is unusual. Lots of fun. Brilliant.
The tape recorder function is very useful. Record the sequencer, or play in the notes with the built in keyboard directly to tape recorder. slow down or speed up the tape. tape recording can be synced to other apps!!
very good delay/echo which can be synced or unsynced.
If the grit/aliasing is too much for you ( i love it ), simply use the filter to remove.
shapesynth with a fuzz, waveshaper, distortion, overdrive function would make it untouchable, but I'm being greedy. I'll use AUM or audiobus to add that ;-)
Thank you for the great instruments humbletunes/Erik.
Superb experimental synth
This is great. The user interface is semi-intuitive but at times hard to grasp. But once you master all the functions it's worth it. The interface puts you in a trance-like mood just as (most importantly) the sounds within do. I love the easy waveform sculpting and the (unexpected) mic sampler. Great stuff! I love setting a huge note decay and layering notes with a comblike wave pattern. The ball-in-a-box filter is a good addition.
Anyhow this is a great tool for creativity. A real instrument rising out of an obvious experimental intent. Love the quirky tape recorder as well (tip of the hat to the OP-1?).
Cheers!
Luv it!
Awesome app for ambient/drone-ish tones, wish the enveloppe were more accurate, there is always a slight release/attack on the sound and a lot of aliasing, but thats part of its charm too!.. The tape recorder is very flexible and reminds me of a tiny version of the tape found in the op-1. I wish I could record audio from the line input/mic straight to it. Combined with midi, its awesome, very recommended! Cant wait for future update, he always add a lot of interesting feature
