synth-Q

Synth-Q has been designed from the ground up with the touchscreen interface in mind. Synth-Q is a subtractive synthesizer with a customizable interface. A unique module queuing system, resizable multi-octave keyboard, and intuitive cable-based modulation controls offer a truly dynamic music-making experience for iOS.

Each part of the synth is separated into units called modules. Each module snaps into place along a scrollable surface above the keyboard:

• Control the number of modules shown on the screen at any time. Control which modules appear for each sound.
• Tap a button on the module menu to launch a module and add it to the queue.
• Drag a module up and release to remove it from the queue.
• Drag a module down to move it within the queue.
• Add variability to your sound by connecting different modules using virtual cables.
• Alter the sound with synth-Q's movable keys.

Synth-Q provides an intuitive and engaging way to get started creating your own sounds, and is ideal for production, performance and music education environments.

Full feature list:

Modules:

• three oscillators sine, triangle, saw, square, pulse and resonant noise waves.
• three ADSRs amp, filter and modulation envelopes.
• filter with lowpass, hipass, bandpass, band-reject and peak filter modes.
• glide.
• frequency modulation oscillator.
• ring modulation oscillator.
• eight modulation bays with virtual cables enable interactions between modules.
• three tempo-syncable LFOs with sine, triangle, saw, reverse saw, square, random curve and random step waves.
• two XY matrix pads.
• XY keys module turns the keyboard's movable keys into modulation sources.
• two FX slots with chorus, flanger, phaser, reverb, tremolo, distortion, delay and bitcrush.
• analog simulation with soft clipping and random pitch wavering.
• MIDI module with pitch bender, modwheel and velocity.
• master volume control.

Interface:

• multi-octave resizable keyboard with 4-voice polyphonic, monophonic and legato modes.
• optional "sticky keys" mode locks each key to your finger after being pressed.
• when used as a modulation source, sound can be altered by moving the keys in different directions.
• unique rearrangeable module queueing area defines which controls are present per preset.
• fully featured preset menu system with options to share and import via e-mail or iTunes File Sharing.
• import presets directly from iOS mail by tapping and holding the attachment and pressing "Open in synth-Q".
• functional graphic design and layout eliminates screen switching by keeping the control modules and keyboard in constant view.
