ButterSynth

Huge sound, enormous amount of modulation capabilities, super nice and intuitive UI. This is clear winner, if you adk me best allrounder synth on iOS. Desktop quality. Must have.

Changing a patch spikes my m4 to 99 percent. No way to contact the developer on their website.

this synth is good but it keeps crashing and bugging out and when I try to freeze or render it to audio it either crash or doesn’t show the audio or it will have like a little bit of the sound and the rest is gone in a bad way. Please fix this bc I use the sample for 808 and it’s good for sound design. Please fix this Update: it keeps crashing and it’s Annoying theres not even a buffer size on the synth please fix this please. I like using this synth for samples

ButterSynth allows you to program from several different ideas. It is a deep, great sounding synth that can be a sounding as you like or weird and exotic. This is why I am so fond of this synthesizer. When programming there are many approaches that can be same sounding, but typically offer timbres that are somewhat similar and yet very different sounding until you realize the base of the sound starts from similar areas in the synth well producing different concepts taken from the same beginning. Personally, I’m not a big fan of the interface. It’s set up in a way that wastes a lot of screen space. And don’t necessarily come from the same style, which can be a little bit disconcerting and for me at least takes a little bit more time for me to figure out where I wanna go next. However, where I wanna go often ends up someplace different and interesting so in that respect as a user you end up in different places, different representations, and places you didn’t expect to find interesting but are. For that reason, I love this synth and find myself using it way more than I expect. Because of this, it does have a learning curve. I do hope that they approach the graphical user interface because I think that underneath this particular UI there is something exceptional waiting to occur. But if it never changes, there’s so much you can do with ButterSynth and I find myself drawn to its sound no matter that sometimes I spend more time than I would like trying to navigate features. The unexpected sometimes yields results I would personally never think of and that’s great..

Keyboard doesn’t load on iPhone.

I love the sounds. I hadn’t used this instrument in a while, started playing with it tonight and as I scroll through the presets, I’m finding that some are already sounding without me touching any keys. If I scroll past that patch, the next presets are also sounding, have to shut off all MIDI notes to get it to stop.

Amazing workflow and sound. 10 stars!

This is an absolute definite hall of famer in the upcoming Renaissance, My sincere apologies for not being able to write down the details but it’s coming. Two options 1) buy it 2) ignore option 1 and buy it now

Limited selection of wave tables. Most are just single samples. Sample module has consistent buzz with unison and all effects/modulators off, whereas same sample in Koala with no effects sounds rich and full. Not sure what your signal path is like but I can’t get a reasonable sound. FM module is very limited. LFOs are extremely simple to the point uselessness. Like, seriously, no phase offset? Just amplitude and rate? I mean how’d you lose one of the three complete waveform descriptors? Terrible.

I’ve successfully recreated synths from popular songs with this app alone for a much lesser price. It would help a lot to make additional midi mappings such as a toggle for the arpeggiator. I’m fairly new to this app so this feature may or may not exist… yet.
