Photophore Synth

Doesn’t show in Cubasis 3 under audiobus or inter-app. Useless. Sent email to support but no response.

Used to be my favorite lead synth but with ios 14.4 it recieves midi on all channels even when selecting a specific channel. So, i can’t really use it

The title says it all. TO THE DEVELOPER...Please update for compatibility with the pro!

Would be great if I could use in AUM or if this were AV3.

Seriously, buy this app! I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this before tonight. Sounds so thick, so other worldly. Great for scoring or ambient. Can also do “normal” sounds but it’s so much more than that. Would love to be able to use more than one wave form at a time in an update.

Beautiful sounding app. Elegant interface. One star off only because if my screen sleeps it dies even though I have checked the Run in background option. Despite that it is still well worth having.

This is real nice full body synth as a pose to others which tend to sound cheap. Real good clean sound and presets are really usable unlike other apps. A really good addition probably one of the best sounding apps I have heard in a while.

Photophore introduces a unique approach to digital synthesis that is able to produce a wide variety of very impressive sounds, and I am excited to see what an update will bring. I hear there is one on the way. Right now the synthesis model is simply very cool, and I have no criticism at all for the basic idea here. What would make this a five-star synth for iOS, besides the obvious (I hope) addition of a multi-octave keyboard that is visible against the dark interface: more time-domain variable controls. I realize standard LFO's might break the concept of moving away from analog modeling, but surely there are ways to utilize auxiliary flocking algorithms to control the main flocking algorithms producing the sound so that they evolve in complex ways. Or something. :) This is a creatively implemented synth; I suspect the devs could come up with something equally creative to nudge Photophore along its very promising potential career as a powerful sound design tool. I highly recommend buying this now to help pay for the next version. There is enough here already to make it worth its very reasonable price.

This is still one of my favorite iPad synths. It could use an update though. I'd love to see a Midi Learn function, for example. You can set the mod wheel to control one parameter at a time, but for those of us with midi keyboards that have lots of knobs and faders, it would be great to be able to control everything at once. Also, can the arpeggiator sync to external time clocks? I haven't figured out how to do it. At any rate, it's a good sounding synth. Very unique. And I love the little animations on the screen.

I'm sure many of you are like me and can't resist snapping up any new synth given how cheap they are. After a few sessions with this, though, I'd recommend shooting straight to the superior Mitosynth. The on-screen keyboard is a pain.
