I meant to post this yesterday. Synthia is a small but powerful polyphonic synthesizer for the iPhone and iPod Touch.
A bank of cascaded-triple-oscillator frequency modulation (FM) synthesizers provides a broad palette of sounds from percussion to strings with over 170 million variations.
The keyboard can be scrolled across the full 88 keys of a piano from A0 to C8. You can even change the size of the keys to suit the size of your fingers. The keys are touch sensitive - the harder you tap a key the louder the sound.
There are 14 synthesizer controls:
- Amplitude attack
- Amplitude decay
- Register (octave) shift
- Portamento (for "sliding" from note to note)
- Modulator 1 attack
- Modulator 1 decay
- Modulator 1 frequency ratio
- Modulator 1 modulation index
- Modulator 1 and dynamic modulation
- Modulator 2 attack
- Modulator 2 decay
- Modulator 2 frequency ratio
- Modulator 2 modulation index
- Modulator 2 and dynamic modulation

This looks pretty good but even at a dollar I can't justify buying a music app anymore without pasteboard support. There should at least be .wav export but I don't see any mentioned.
I know what you mean, stand alone apps have to really shine now
