Virtual Synth for iPhone arrives


Virtual Synth is an experimental synthesizer for your iPhone/iPod touch. You can generate sine tones and square waves from a wide range of frequencies. Experiment with different grid positions to generate modulating signals with different beat frequencies. A minimal control interface and engaging graphics make it a lot more fun to use.

Interface:
Touch to create an instrument anywhere on the grid. The numerical labels display frequency values. You can select a different instrument/frequency and tap on an existing instrument to change it. The beat frequency for modulating waves increases diagonally. Tap with two fingers at any time to remove all instruments.

Controls:
  • X: to show/hide frequency labels.
  • +/-: to toggle adding or removing instruments.
  • F: to show/hide slider display to change frequency range.
  • Every time you move the slider the grid updates with a new range of available frequencies. Making it convenient to have instruments of a wide range of frequencies playing at the same time. After adding an instrument the frequency label doesn't change unless you remove it or replace it with another instrument.
  • sin: to add a sine tone.
  • mod: to add a modulating signal.
  • sqr: to add a square wave.
The app is currently free.

Getting some really nice sounds out of this! But would be nice with a quicker way of subtracting and adding frequencies.
