Description

Continua is a three-oscillator / dual-filter six-voice virtual analog synth, with fully polyphonic modulation sources and built-in custom-designed effects, for everything from complex, evolving chill-out soundscapes to New Wave synth stabs
Full PDF manual available at the Audio Damage website.
• Standalone Version w/ IAA and AUv3
Your Continua purchase comes with a standalone version (with Inter-App Audio) and an AudioUnit V3 for using with an AUv3 host like GarageBand, Cubasis, or AUM.
• Three Flexible Oscillators
Continuously variable morphing waveform, with warp, shape, and skew controls.
• Dual Morphing Filters
Filters can be used in serial or parallel modes, and morph from lowpass through bandpass and highpass to notch in 2-pole and 4-pole configurations.
• Noise Source
Noise source features a "color" control that affects tonal characteristics of the noise.
• ADSR x 2
Continua has two ADSR-style envelope generators, with curve on attack, decay, and release.
• Flexible Envelope Generator (FEG) x 2
The two FEGs are arbitrary function generators, with up to 99 steps, curve and step level control, arbitrary loop points, and host tempo sync.
• Flexible Low-Frequency Oscillator (FLFO) x 4
The four FLFOs utilize four controls (phase, shape, skew, and warp) to access a virtually limitless palette of waveforms, and feature host tempo sync and retrigger.
• Sample And Hold
The S&H mod source can sample noise (random) or any of the other mod sources, at either a user-defined rate or a musical division, and includes built-in smoothing and distance limit (for a "walk" effect).
• Modulation
Every knob in Continua is a mod destination, with a very fast and simple assignment matrix access with a right-click on the knob (double-tap on iOS).
• Tuning Tables And Global Tuning Offset
Re-tune Continua to new intonations and temperaments using the open-source and easy-to-use TUN file format. A global tuning offset (default to A=440) allows you to easily retune the entire synth to match a different A frequency without using a tuning table.
• MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression)
Continua understands both "legacy" MIDI and MPE. Use your Linnstrument, Roli Seaboard, Haken Continuum, Madrona Labs Soundplane, or Sensel Morph (among others) to directly access per-note pressure, pitch bend, and modulation.
• Per-Instance Settings
Continua utilizes a per-instance customization method: set MPE mode, aftertouch smoothing, pitch bend range override, tuning table, and global tuning offset for each instance in your DAW, with an option to save any state as your global starting point.
• Factory Presets
Continua comes with a substantial collection of factory content, including Designer Presets from Red Means Recording, Glitch Machines, Red Sky Lullaby, and SonalSystem.
• Cross-Platform Preset Format
Continua utilizes an XML-based preset manager. Work between multiple systems without troubles, make a preset on your desktop machine and paste it to the iOS version with Handoff, easily share your creations with your friends, or make a preset bundle to sell.

Geen Presets

iedere dag iets leuks GWK on

Mijn Continua app heeft geen Presets -Factory ? Waar vind ik die ? Vriendelijke Groet GWK

Some feedback

thatyger on

Netherlands

Some things that would be nice to have: - set modulators to bidirectional or single directional. Especially S&H seems to be bidirectional no matter what you set the slider to - single view mod matrix. Finding out what is modulating what is annoying right now. Better to have one page with all routings and sliders to set amounts. Makes tweaking modulators much easier. - supersaw oscillator shape? Or maybe even a toggle for supersine, supersquare and supersaw instead of the normal shapes?

Sounds good, but sluggish

First impression after buying: -sounds good -presets are nice and usable -UI is very sluggish -lots of latency at all buffer settings -much much slower than all my other synth apps -too much CPU time to graphics? IPad Air 12.4.2

Boom instant Hitsynth!

Bought it right at launch and was not disappointed! The interface is directly approachable and the sound absolutely stunning. Clean and smooth. I think they put their Eos2 reverb engine in there? That reverb never ever ends! I love it! Go and check it out!

Great update!

I absolutely love this synth , I use it so often.

Great, unique sounding synth

;$&-%#! on

Another synth from Audio Damage that sounds totally unique. Some reviews complain about a lack of MIDI mapping but the controls are all there in the AUv3 extension. Just load it up in AUM or the DAW of your choice and map to your heart’s content!

Limited to six voices

antihcl on

United States

Wonderful synth that is severely hampered by only six voices poly. Why? Also no unison detune control. It’s really too bad because it does have an excellent sound, but I find 8 voices minimum is acceptable for a poly synth, 16 minimum with unison. That puts this synth in a really weird place where it’s only useful for keys and plucks, not pads and definitely no problem supersaw. It isn’t a CPU issue because these six voices barely touch the processor on my iPad. Very weird limitation on an otherwise great synth, but it handicaps the thing so much that i can only give two stars.

Lush, beautiful sounds!

Since this whole iPad synth revolution began I’ve purchased over 100 synths. Most are still on my iPad. This one resides in my top 10! Though it doesn’t have near the patch list as, say SynthMaster One, the patches that come with it are so lush and full and just simply beautiful! It’s an easy synth to edit and create great patches with. This app should get way more love! I highly recommend it!

I tried to email support but too stupid to figure it out

I love ALL apps by Audio Damage and advocate ANYONE to just buy them. You won’t regret. But... any chance on implementing a midi keyboard on ALL of your AuV3’s and be able to record the pitch automation??? That would be phenomenal, as I have been having some issues with other apps midi capabilities so it’d be nice to use them again.
