Mitosynth 4+

‘It’s a bit quiet’ I read somewhere. Turn the gain up then.
This synth is super deep, modular without all the wires. If you’re coming from a standard synthesis background it will take a while to get your head around but this thing has a sound that I can only describe as ‘Cinematic’. It’s not your bread and butter analogue style Moog,Jupiter/Juno offering. It has a sound that’s very hifi , it can sound quite ‘additive synthesis’ or quite ‘fm’. I think maybe the closest to it in character on the desktop is Absynth. You can get huge cinematic pads, massive (but at the same time clean) warping basses, it loads samples, creates outer space sound fx ( not your usual two random Lfo stuff), it has a great in-built reverb and a chain of other FX etc etc etc.
I hope it goes Auv 3 purely to keep up on newer/future iOS but I keep an old iPad on iOS 9 for older synths anyway. When that goes belly up...I don’t know in some instances. That’s the only problem with the iOS model and not being able to back up apps and not being able to back up the operating system and reload it on a newer iPad. These things WILL disappear eventually much like some 90s hardware synths etc built on unreplaceable ASICS (stuff like z1 springs to mind) which is a shame because this synth in particular is so deep it really does have enough to keep you going for a lifetime.

I’m so glad this incredible sounding and highly unique synthesiser still works as solidly as it always did (despite its age) it remains an iOS legend and a very much cherished instrument! Naturally, I’d happily pay for it again if it were re-released as an AU or Apple Silicon version as I’d love to use it with AUM within a broader modern system! Its sound is absolutely unique and distinct (as it its beautiful, thoughtfully designed GUI) as it allows you to combine multiple synthesis types to create rich, sophisticated, evolving, sonic worlds and any other sounds including crunchy bass’, searing leads or organic phenomena …its really deep! Mitosynth also has unique sonic qualities that always make it sound utterly distinct and original (unlike anything else I’ve heard TBH) …a hybrid combination of LoFi, HiFi, Digital, and Analogue timbre …its a beautiful rare and exotic life form!

It has loads of things that I don’t have much clue about, but it makes, using the presets, a very, very nice set of flute sounds. Probably does a gazillion things that I must now learn how to do. It has HELP, which is a big thing, these days, we buy games when we buy games, apps when we buy apps... and it seem to always stay up-to-date and I can just use it, without hassle.

Other app developers would do well to adopt these types of strategy - I’ve written this review, largely to illustrate what a lot of people are seeing these days and becoming very frustrated about. Biggest one? Subscriptions;

>> it’s OK, it doesn’t! Hopefully never will. <<

Developers need to understand, about subscriptions, that people don’t care how well their company is doing - it is not their problem and then you want to twist their arm or more money?

So this rant is IN FAVOUR OF THIS DEVELOPER - keep on doing do as YOU do, keep making what attracted us to the app in the first place the best that it can be AT THAT JOB.
