Viking Synth - Reviews, Revenue and Downloads - Apple App Store

Description

Viking Synth is an authentic emulation of a classic monophonic analog synthesizer. It has three continuously variable wave oscillators, two ladder filters with a Dual Lowpass or Highpass/Lowpass configuration, a multi-wave LFO, and two modulation busses. Viking Synth uses state of the art DSP technology to accurately reproduce the sound of the hardware. You get a desktop quality plug-in at an iOS friendly price.

Viking Synth is an Audio Unit Extension Instrument (AUv3) that works as a plug-in inside host apps. Just open up your favorite host that supports Audio Unit Instruments and select it from the list of available Audio Units. Compatible with GarageBand, Cubasis, Auria, BeatMaker, AudioBus, AUM, Modstep, and more.

The user interface of Viking Synth is designed for quick and intuitive control. Knobs and sliders expand during tweaking and are designed so the current value isn't hidden below your finger. The six pages divide the synth into logical sections that can be accessed quickly. The filter display acts as an XY pad for controlling cutoff and resonance. Simply double tap a knob or slider to reset it to its default value.

Presets
Viking Synth comes with 228 presets in the categories Bass, Bright Lead, Electro Bass, FX, Percussive Lead, Soft Lead, and Synthwave. The synth excels at thick bass and rich lead sounds. The 50 Electro Bass and 50 Synthwave presets were designed by renowned sound designer eXode. Presets work perfectly with GarageBand, Cubasis, and AUM.

Oscillators
At the heart of Viking are three adjustable wave oscillators. The continuously variable waveform knob gives the oscillators a unique sound that can’t be achieved with the fixed waveforms found in most synths. A noise oscillator provides three types of noise, one specifically modeled after the hardware.

Modulation
Two modulation busses and an LFO provide flexible modulation capabilities. All of the options hidden deep in menus on the hardware are immediately accessible with one tap.

Filters
The filters are classic transistor ladder filters modeled meticulously. Two DSP varieties are available allowing for either reduced CPU load or soft clipping plus three additional overdriven modes. The number of poles is adjustable for a wider range of filter sounds.

Compare Viking to other synths:
– Viking’s oscillators are free running, not sampled, wavetable based, or generated from a zero point
– Viking’s oscillators use advanced techniques to avoid aliasing
– Viking’s oscillators have instability, which is controllable through the tuning drift control
– Viking’s nonlinear filter uses circuit modeling and provides soft clipping

Doesn’t show up anymore

Downloaded this today and it’s not showing up in the AUv3 menu on Garageband… dunno what happened.

Always was excellent but hidden somehow!

Great synthesizer! Thank you for updating all of your apps Blamsoft.

Almost gold

Awesome synth with lots of flexibility but patches/ presets won’t save

Thank you!

Thanks for making such great free audio unit plugins

Great!

This is an awesome synth. It sounds great and works well with GarageBand

Good Sound, Needs Preset Browser

Sounds like a good V.I. Needs a proper preset browser - desperately! On my big iPad Pro you can see about 8 presets. Choose one and the browser auto-closes. Say the patch name starts "Strings". To try the next patch, you have to reopen the browser, and then scroll back down the alphabet from the top to almost the bottom of the list - every time! No one would put up with this on a desktop. Please Blamsoft , a real browser that 1. Is bigger 2. has columns & a way to get directly to one category - e.g., to Pads 3. stays open until you close it 4. and, ideally, has a way to tag patches as 'Favourites'

The Sound of Moog Voyager

This is the sound of the Moog Voyager bottled up and ready to use on iPad. Works perfect at 96k on iPad Pro and AUM, it does that unmistakable dual filter sound. Audio-rate modulations on pitch, filter cutoff, even osc amplitude - all works good!

So glad I picked this up!

I have so many iOS synth apps. I thought I didn't need anymore. This sounds amazing. One of the better iOS analog sounding synths I have and makes a few obsolete for me. Works great in both garage band and the excellent AUM(can load multiple units at once and stack them for a super sound!) Great job Blamsoft!
