Dazibao for iPad arrives, quite a different synth by the look of it

Dazibao looks like a pretty awesome and very different synth app for your iPad. I'm looking forward to giving this one a try out.

Here's the app's description:

Dazibao is a polyphonic synthesizer programmed by an innovative interface : you create several tones, then you arrange them on several time lines. Dazibao will create automatically the corresponding wavetables and envelopes for filters, volume, pitch, vibrato, pan and so on. Add an organ tone, then a string tone, and Dazibao will produce the correct evolutive sound. Four modes help to create easily and quickly incredible sound evolutions this way.

Dazibao for iPad also includes an analog style drum box and bass line. Mix one of the seven types of noises with a sine oscillator, and you’ll create easily hundreds «TR like» or «Simmons like» sounds of percussions, including toms, snares drums, cymbals and bells. The bass synthesizer is an analog style one. The sequencer helps to create any kind of rhythms, from 2 to 64 steps, with any subdivision of the beat from 1/1 to 1/8.

At the end, in concert, you’ll load sessions. A session includes patches for the polyphonic synthesizer, and sequences. So, you’ll have immediately under your fingers several incredibles sounds added to drums and bass sequences to create a full and large sound when you play live.

Creating sequences which include variations of tones, or large pads with sounds traveling in the stereo space, or patches with a different sound evolution for each key has never been so easy : Dazibao offers many innovations in the user's interface which will help you to create quickly and easily the most complex patches, or the most experimental drums patterns. You won't miss matrix, sliders or jacks! You'll just extend the capabilities of your musical imagination.

We hope that you’ll love Dazibao as we do. Connected to a MIDI keyboard and to loud speakers, the pleasure to play is undeniably great!

Dazibao costs $7.99 on the app store:
