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.) This app has the following modules. Oscillator - Oscillator Type A (Frequency Modulation) - Oscillator Type B (Pulse Width Modulation) - Super Saw Oscillator - Low Frequency Oscillator - LFO Type B (Tempo Synchronization) - Noise Generator (White/Pink) Mixer/Amplifier - 4 Channel Mixer - CV Mixer - Crossfader - Voltage-Controlled Amplifier - Low Pass Gate - Sample-and-Hold Amplifier - Booster Envelope/Logic - Envelope Generator Type A - Envelope Generator Type B - Toggle - Inverting Circuit - Logical And (Series Switch) - Logical Or (Parallel Switch) - Polyphonic Or Gate - Maximum/Minimum Selector Modulator - Curve Function - Multiplier - V/Oct Vibrator - Keyboard Level Scaling - Ring Modulator - Wave Shaper Filter/Effector - Voltage-Controlled Filter (LPF/HPF/BPF/BEF) - All-Pass Filter - Delay Effector - Modulated Delay - Reverb Filter (KQ) - Reverb Filter (FreeVerb) - Compressor - Chorus Effector - Flanger - Bit Crusher Clock - Loop Gate (Tempo Synchronization) - 8 Step Sequencer - 8 Step CV Sequencer - 8 Step Gate Sequencer Stereo/Mono Converter - Mono To Dualmono - Stereo To Mono - Panner Miscellaneous - Custom Controller - Const Value - Oscilloscope If you feel it sounds noisy, slow or stuttering, try to decrease polyphony, increase buffer size and reduce connected modules. Introducing Audiobus support: Now you can stream live audio directly to other Audiobus-compatible apps! See http://audiob.us for more information. Ableton Link is a new technology that synchronizes beat, phase and tempo of Ableton Live and Link-enabled iOS apps over a wireless network. Terms of Use: https://www.kiraqtech.jp/termsofuse/

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • The sheer ice bubbles of modular fm

    This is haunted modular synthesis. FM mayhem and mind slicing photon rays create ice beams. Quite well in fact japan has a day devoted to this developer and is also worshiped in some exotic sound labs.

  • 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!

  • On its way to being a great app!!!!

    It is pretty good right now, but they seem to do updates all the time. That tells me they care and that makes me care.lol Too many times have I spent my hard earned money on apps only to have them left incomplete and lacking. I’m a huge fan of eurorack/Modular and this is a great outlet for me on the road or at appointments! Thanks to the developers for keeping new and useful updates coming!!!!!

  • Excellent modular!

    This is an amazing deal! A great simulation with a lot of possibilities, there's a nice selection of modules with some handy boolean and utilities. My only quibble is the knobs are a little fiddly, but a fine tune window pops up. Midi learn would be a perfect addition. And many new presets, about 70 total now. Good examples of the basics and more. Oh, and it sounds great too!

    I'm having fun with this synth. It's a fully modular synth model with the limits not on the amount of modules but on the device running it. I don't understand what all the modules, knobs and inputs do but I am sure I can find enough info on modules and patching online to figure it all out as it seems to be pretty close to what is in use in analog set ups. The interface is very logical, easy to use and move around on, much better than other modular synth models on iOS. I like the rack mount style too because it gives a basic reference for how everything gets connected. The sound is very decent for playing around on and experimenting. The graphics could be slicker, but I kind of like that 90s raw software look to it. If the interface functions as smoothly as this does then looks really don't matter. Better this than the other way around. Congratulation to the dev for a nicely thought out app.

  • Impressive

    KQ MiniSynth is a fantastic modular synth it's a great instrument and it sounds Fabulous. I hope it continues to be supported to become something even more spectacular than the sum of all its parts. There is a great deal of potential here.
