Description
Spectrum is a collection of 3 Audio Unit synthesizers and one Audio Unit effect.
Spectrum is based on popular eurorack synthesizer modules made by Mutable Instruments.
Included are four audio units:
Spectrum - Multi-mode 8-voice polyphonic oscillator featuring 14 high quality oscillator algorithms. Supports MPE.
Modal - Modal synthesis. Bowed, Blowed, and Struck sounds through a 64-band resonator. Also included as an effect.
Resonator - 7 beautiful string generation algorithms. Also included as an effect
Granular - Granular sampler, looper, pitch shifter, reverb effect. Note that Granular is an Audio Unit effect, not an instrument, so it goes in an effect slot.
To use Spectrum, load the Audio Units in your DAW or AU host of choice, like Audiobus, GarageBand or AUM.
Each audiounit also features:
- modulation LFO featuring tempo sync, key reset, reset phase adjustment
- modulation ADSR envelope
- XY touchpad (except on Modal)
- 2-source modulation matrix allowing for complex and evolving patches.
- MIDI CC control of parameters
- Resonator and Modal are also loadable as an AudioUnit effect
Spectrum contains DSP code provided under the MIT open source license by Mutable Instruments.

Ratings and Reviews
Original and wonderful!
Fantastic sound tools which feature resonance synthesis for your audio pleasure. Thank you to the developer who has shared these wonderful apps which are fantastic for Electronic or experimental music. Looking forward to more from this developer.
AU
I’m disappointed that these are Audio Units, needing some kind of DAW (costing money) or something like a full (big in megabytes) GarageBand install to operate.
I assumed they’d just be an app, bam, load them up and mess around. That’s what IOS synths are all about IMHO, easy, accessible fun synths to play around with. I don’t want the complexity of a DAW on my iPhone, just some nice synths to mess around with and multisample into my vintage hardware samplers.
So I’m giving this one star until the developer sees fit to create a standalone version that works without any monotonous work.
Had to leave a review when I saw...
Had to leave a review when I saw someone complain they only work as audio unit plug ins. Garageband is free! These are beautiful, carefully made instruments, and Spectrum has MPE support and works great on my Roli Lightpad. This is a gift!
