Beep Street has released Horizon - a new virtual analog synthesizer for the iPad that, according to the developer, "takes the definition of iOS synthesizer to the next level."
Features:
True SuperSaw sound emulation, first found in the legendary Roland JP-8000 synthesizer. SuperSaw is a layered waveform consisting of multiple saw waves which are detuned to create an extremely full and epic sound. It's possible to use 2 supersaw oscillators per voice * 7 polyphony = 98 saw oscillators playing the same time!
Two independent filters per voice with configurable routing. You can select between various filter types including classic resonant LP,HP,BP,Notch and less common like Comb and Formant.
The Morph Group function lets you continuously morph of up to 30 parameters in a sound (including effects), using only the modulation wheel.
OSCILLATORS
2 warm-sounding analog modelled oscillators per voice + 2 sub-oscillators (except SuperSaw). Available waveforms: Saw, PWM pulse,Triangle, SuperSaw.
Oscillator 2 hard-sync and configurable routing
Osc-mix, ring modulator
White noise oscillator
FLEXIBLE MULTI FILTERS
Two independent filters per voice with configurable routing. You can select between various filter types including: resonant LP,HP,BP,Notch, Comb and Formant.
Configurable routing: serial or parallel with bypass option.
ADSR envelope, keyboard tracking and full LFO control
MODULATION
Two LFOs per voice. It's possible to assign each LFO to almost any parameter. 3 LFO running modes: trigger, 1 shot, global. 6 waveforms, phase and fade-in knobs
The Morph Group function lets you continuously morph of up to 30 parameters in a sound (including effects), using only the modulation wheel.
Two Modulation ADSR Envelopes for amplitude and filters cutoff
Pitch and modulation wheels
EFFECTS
A number of effects are built in: distortion, chorus, equalizer, stereo delay. All parameters can be modulated using mod-wheel.
ARPEGGIATOR
