Ordinarily I'd be really interested in an app like this, but beware, the note at the end of the app's description may restrict you.
The iOS application - which is named "TANSU (dresser)", is a miniature version of a Modular Analog Synthesizer. This synthesizer is the same as the one used and mastered by Hideki Matsutake of LOGIC SYSTEM.
The sounds that were sampled and used for the VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) come directly from the actual "TANSU" owned by Hideki Matsutake himself. In addition, it also contains many original LOGIC SYSTEM recordings. The application condenses the fun, experience and sound of an actual modular synthesizer onto the small screen of an iPhone!!
What will the sound be like when using the application? This application is focused on providing the user with the feeling and excitement of using the actual synthesizer for which it is based.
Not only for a techno fan, but for any music lover!! Feel what it is like to create your own music!!
Try this application to experience the "the birth of sound and music."
The main functions
LOGIC BOX
Sound effects such as Shepard Tone and rhythms from music by LOGIC SYSTEM have been made directly into the sound source.
MUSIC
You can use your iPhones own music library as a sound source. (However, certain tracks which are covered under DRM may not be used).
Microphone function
You can use sounds which have been recorded with microphone.
Preset function
You can explore the potential of the TANSU Synth from various demo patterns. Moreover, it can be utilized as a tutorial for beginners.
VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator), VCF (Voltage Controlled Filter), VCA (Voltage Controlled Amplifier), LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator), EG (Envelope Generator)
Enhance the basic functionality of an analog synthesizer. (Various sound processing is possible.)
It has an 2 channel 8 step analog sequencer!
(We are planning to add a function for converting to a 1 channel 16 step sequencer)
You can enjoy connecting and reconnecting the patch cord to create sounds just as with a real synthesizer.
Three sound sources can be mixed by a three-channel mixer!
support：iPhone4S, iPhone5, iPad（Over iOS5.0）

Wow could you imagine if every synth manufacturer practiced this?
ReplyDeleteOn this subject, I wonder if anyone has done anything commercial (and legit!) with the Korg iElectribe Gorillaz Edition app?
Perhaps they are referring to using it with copywrite songs from iTunes. For example if I filter a Beatles or Kraftwerk song I need to get clearance to use those songs. Not for the sounds I might create with my own samples.
ReplyDeleteThe gorlla's thing was fun if for no other reason as a high end instructional tool on how to do arrangements.
