Description

ID700 is a hybrid FM/waveshaping software synthesizer based on the voice architecture of the Buchla 700.
ID700 runs in standalone mode and as an AUv3 plugin (Logic Pro, GarageBand, AUM, Cubasis 3).
HISTORY
In 1987 Don Buchla released the Buchla 700 synthesizer. It was the next logical step from Don's previous digital synths (the Buchla 400, Touché, Buchla 500) but was also influenced by the synth trends of the 1980's, specifically FM synthesis and the all-in-one workstation concept. As usual, Don was ahead of the curve and the 700 never took off. Very few were sold and even fewer functioning units exist today. I always loved the sound of Don's digital oscillators, and combined with the scarcity of the instrument it seemed like a fun project to recreate it in software and reintroduce its concepts to the world.

What’s the point?

Alotisnot on

This synth doesn’t even manage to sound like crap. Probably the reason for its commercial failure.

Midi cc are here. But not assignable

i just found that you can’t assign CC but they are here you have to search it (after CC20). So I give 4 stars, if it was assignable it would be really more convenient

Absolute Masterpiece!

In every aspect: User experience, interface design, integrated help, informative patches, and of course: THE SOUND! Listening to the presets with an iPad Pro, via an Yamaha AG 06 on pro audio monitors was a pure joy. This app is a welcome and indispensable hommage to the legacy of Don Buchla and labor of sonic love: an instant classic! Bravo et merci pour ce magnifique instrument de musique. 👏🙏

Great app

A different Synth app with Many possibilities. MPE intégration make the difference. The only thing can be a sizable GUI 9 inch screen.

Fluid and unique

Exceptional way to experiment with sound. Nothing else like it

The best FM synthesizer ever created

Sir Kanther Gorius on

The title says it all. This thing does everything I ever wished my DX7 could do, and with a user interface that makes it as easy as editing an FM synthesizer with this level of functionality could possibly be. I really don’t have anything negative to say here. Been using this app for a few years now and I still feel as though I have barely scratched the surface of what is possible. Thank you for creating this, whoever you are.

Great!

This is a really well done recreation of an amazing Buchla synth. It is a great way to explore an extremely rare and unique synth, but it is also a really amazing app in its own right, especially if you like exploring and tweaking sounds: nothing sounds like this. It is not a simple plug-and-play sound maker - its deep and complex - but the many very well done pre-sets let get into the sounds immediately. The manual is clear and thorough as well.

One of the finest iOS synths ever made

For experimental patch creation, with usable and excellent results this is number 1 for me. One of the finest iOS synths ever developed.

Coolest synth iOS app

Oriole Bird on

United States

This is my favorite iOS synth app is the most fun one I have to design new sounds. I use it with Moog semi-modular synths and it sounds amazing.

Beautiful

Willy Lyons on

United States

This is one of the most inspiring and well designed instruments I’ve encountered. The UI is top notch with excellent response and fine control of all the “knobs” and sliders. I can spend blissful hours starting from an unit patch and tweaking envelopes and it scratches all the deep creative itchy spots in my brain. This app is a good reason to buy an iPad.
