Description

KQ MiniSynth is a powerful polyphonic modular synthesizer.
This app allows you to create sounds by patching modules.
You can add/remove up to 100 modules at will.
(Oscillators, Envelope Generators, Filters, and so on)
Of course, it depends on the capability of your device.

Modular system is also good for education use.
You can learn the role of various modules while patching those.

The Patch-Editing view supports zooming.
You can connect modules with taps easily.

71 Presets are included.
External and Virtual MIDI is Supported.
MIDI over Bluetooth LE is Supported (Act as a Central device).
Inter-App Audio is Supported.
Audiobus is Supported.
Ableton Link integration.
Includes an Audio Unit Extension (AUv3 Instrument).

FAQ:
Q: The output sounds too quiet.
A: Expression value(Ctrl #11) may be too small. Try to Tap "RESET" on I/O Panel. When it is not improved, try changing an option "Boost Velocities".

Q: The velocities seem to be ignored on Audio Unit.
A: If you want to enable the note velocity function in Audio Unit, try to turn off "Ignore Velocities" in the settings. (The default is enable because GarageBand sends velocities randomly.)

Excellent flexibility...design your own AU synths!

I’ve bought quite a few iOS synths...in a short time ;) this one might require a bit more study and effort but you can do sooooo much with it. FM and analogue! A mix of the two! I’m still learning but I’ve already created some great stuff by tweaking the presets and building from scratch isn’t that hard.

Thanks Kira. Please keep adding to this!

Awesome synth

I LOVE this soft synth. So much fun to experiment with. There are very limited instructions so you are really forced to try new things and see what happens, which is cool.

Very realistic and detailed. You can learn all about signal paths and how modules effect one another, without having to set up a whole eurorack. I love the sounds I can get out of my patches and have sampled them many times!

Excellent modular synth w/ excellent support

This synth is very powerful and works without much fuss if you are use to routing. Dev was extremely responsive when I had an issue and released a fix for it quickly.

Synth takes low resources which is great. I wish I could midi map to all/more of the knobs in my patch but there is more than enough to get something good going.
