Full PDF manual available at the Audio Damage website.

• Standalone Version w/ IAA and AUv3
Your Continua purchase comes with a standalone version (with Inter-App Audio) and an AudioUnit V3 for using with an AUv3 host like GarageBand, Cubasis, or AUM.

• Three Flexible Oscillators
Continuously variable morphing waveform, with warp, shape, and skew controls.

• Dual Morphing Filters
Filters can be used in serial or parallel modes, and morph from lowpass through bandpass and highpass to notch in 2-pole and 4-pole configurations.

• Noise Source
Noise source features a "color" control that affects tonal characteristics of the noise.

• ADSR x 2
Continua has two ADSR-style envelope generators, with curve on attack, decay, and release.

• Flexible Envelope Generator (FEG) x 2
The two FEGs are arbitrary function generators, with up to 99 steps, curve and step level control, arbitrary loop points, and host tempo sync.

• Flexible Low-Frequency Oscillator (FLFO) x 4
The four FLFOs utilize four controls (phase, shape, skew, and warp) to access a virtually limitless palette of waveforms, and feature host tempo sync and retrigger.

• Sample And Hold
The S&H mod source can sample noise (random) or any of the other mod sources, at either a user-defined rate or a musical division, and includes built-in smoothing and distance limit (for a "walk" effect).

• Modulation
Every knob in Continua is a mod destination, with a very fast and simple assignment matrix access with a right-click on the knob (double-tap on iOS).

• Tuning Tables And Global Tuning Offset
Re-tune Continua to new intonations and temperaments using the open-source and easy-to-use TUN file format. A global tuning offset (default to A=440) allows you to easily retune the entire synth to match a different A frequency without using a tuning table.

• MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression)
Continua understands both "legacy" MIDI and MPE. Use your Linnstrument, Roli Seaboard, Haken Continuum, Madrona Labs Soundplane, or Sensel Morph (among others) to directly access per-note pressure, pitch bend, and modulation.

• Per-Instance Settings
Continua utilizes a per-instance customization method: set MPE mode, aftertouch smoothing, pitch bend range override, tuning table, and global tuning offset for each instance in your DAW, with an option to save any state as your global starting point.

• Factory Presets
Continua comes with a substantial collection of factory content, including Designer Presets from Red Means Recording, Glitch Machines, Red Sky Lullaby, and SonalSystem.

• Cross-Platform Preset Format
Continua utilizes an XML-based preset manager. Work between multiple systems without troubles, make a preset on your desktop machine and paste it to the iOS version with Handoff, easily share your creations with your friends, or make a preset bundle to sell.

Dreadful Keyboard!

The keyboard is unplayable with the black keys taking up the entire key length. Cannot find any settings to improve it. I cannot get started with this app. I am sure it will deserve more stars once we get to that point. Appears to be the same problem with Phosphor3

Promising

A great synth with many possibilities. You are able to manipulate sounds in many ways and it is great for performing.
I think it is biased towards more atmospheric/synth sounds.
The included presets do not really show off the full capabilities and there are not that many.

Also, I don’t think the Audio/MIDI Settings window opens fully. I can’t find any option to set tempo or MIDI sync

Bluetooth does work

Continua works with my Bluetooth Korg Nanokey Studio keyboard so long as I connect the keyboard using the Bluetooth connect utility first, then launch Continua. If I launch Continua first then try to connect from inside the app, yes, crashes instantly.
