Description

The next generation of additive synthesis
Additive synthesis is a sound synthesis technique that creates timbre by adding sine waves together. The timbre of musical instruments can be considered to consist of multiple harmonic or inharmonic partials or overtones. VirSyn already has a remarkable track record of products ( CUBE, POSEIDON ) trying to make this virtually unlimited synthesis method manageable for creative sound designers and musicians. AddStation is the next step forward giving you a tool to explore completely new sonic territory. The massive amount of sine waves in AddStation - thousands per voice - together with unique morph sequencing blocks blur the frontiers between analog and digital sonic realms.
And all this integrated in all relevant iOS production environments especially the emerging AUv3 AudioUnit standard.

An awesome synth with unmatched sounds

Neumuzik on

But please see if you can bring it up to compatibility with Apple Silicon Macs for Logic Pro and GarageBand. Thank you!

Oops… Harry Gohs apps!

I think I mentioned a competitor’s name by mistake in the first review. The sentiment was correct, the name was wrong! Let me recap: This was the most recent purchase of this dev’s products. I have purchased newer apps of his, and this just goes to show that I’ve enjoyed them! I’ve watched the reviews over and over, judiciously choosing which ones to buy. NONE of them have ever disappointed me! Without rambling further, I’ll just say that IMO, they are ALL great stuff!

Charged full price even during sale

Charged full price for all 3 apps and it says 60% off - what’s up ?

Really Interesting!

This is a great synthesizer; it continues the really innovative approach to additive synthesis taken by Virsyn; there are some fascinating possibilities. The one irritating feature is the wave sequencing section; it’s a very cool design, but it’s really hard to find just the right spot to make changes to the regions. But I’m getting used to it, slowly... The sequencer could also use some additions; it currently goes forward only; it would be nice to have a back & forth option, and maybe a random option. Quite a learning curve with this one, but that’s part of the fun, for me anyway.

Amazing Level of Innovation!

This app is so much fun to play with. Prepare to become addicted. I’d recommend browsing around the manual and maybe watching a YouTube vid - then just jump right in. First time I opened it, I was overwhelmed, I tried to just use the manual but that wasn’t any fun. Once you have the broad strokes, you’ll find yourself coming across happy accidents. Try everything! Well done to the dev, I tip my additive cap to a you good sir.

My favorite app by VirSyn

Enrique Raphaël Page Pérez on

This synth is legendary! Wavetable synthesis-ish like behavior taken to the fullest extent I’ve ever seen on AUV3! My only wish as of right now (still gotta keep exploring the app) is that hopefully the tables will be “drawable” by multiple fingers in the future. An app that does something similar (or actually 2, by the same dev) are PixelWave and spectrum gen. Both of these allow us to do something really similar but using multiple fingers - this would be very welcome in Addstation as it makes it possible to essentially create very complex waves on the fly by using one hand to draw these (with 4-5 fingers) while playing the keyboard with the other hand (either software keys or hardware). VirSyn! Please do consider implementing this, it would make this little jewel even more brilliant!

Kawai K5000 killer

I no longer miss my K5000 and its control over partials. This beats it for sound and ease of editing. Thanks! A couple of requests and a bug: Would be nice to have a way to mute parts and adjust their volumes in the Block Edit window. And maybe a sequencer for the blocks? And a way to use the Sequence page without obstructing the time bar with our fingers? And numbers on the Block and Part tabs to remind us which element we’re editing, as well as a way to advance to a different block/part without going back repeatedly to the main window? Lastly, a bug report: Piano scale picker is blank on iPhone 6 iOS 12.4.8. Thanks for this awesome sound creator and interface! Love your apps!

Has potential but frustrating😡😡😡

I’m going to start with a critical review because it needs it. As a plug in, Using drop down menu to select patches Is labourious!!! And long You need to add < > buttons so performers can instantly switch patches. This needs to happen NOW don’t make us wait. This is a complete kill joy being force to use a slow drop down menu system for every patch change.

Another WIN for VirSyn!

No doubt one of the most original and exciting synths to come around in quite some time. It's deep. It's twisted. It's surprising. It's fun to use. What more could you want?

Amazing synth

Deltacaster on

United States

Instant gratification here, so glad I got this. It really offers sounds and synthesis unparalleled on iOS. The negative reviews are obviously not aware of how to use the App Store or haven’t updated their iPad in years. Thanks for an amazing app virsyn.
