Horizon Synth The Best iPad Synthesizer Yet, On Sale For Half Off
Horizon synth ($4.99) by BeepStreet is an iPad-only high quality digital synthesizer for the iPad that will blow your mind. There doesn’t seem to be anything that this app can’t do. Be warned: This is not a toy. It is a complex synthesizer with plenty of knobs, buttons and faders.
There are so many features in this app that I can’t even begin to describe them all. It utilizes a waveform that is symphonic and epic. The depth of sound that is created in Horizon Synth can only be matched by a real synthesizer. There are complex oscillators, modulators and effects. There are over 200 presets and you can record your mixes with the touch of a button. Your creations can also easily be exported via iTunes file sharing.
Synthesizers are an unknown instrument for me, so I was intimidated by the many options laid out before me. There is not one stitch of instruction within the app. It is clear that it is meant to be used by intermediate to advanced level musicians. Although I have limited knowledge of synthesizers and there was no help menu, I found myself exploring the many features with much enthusiasm. The sound quality is beyond anything I have ever heard come out of the iPad, and that is without using external speakers.
Overall, this virtual synthesizer is the highest quality digital instrument I have yet to discover for the iPad. The complexity of this app will leave you breathless. What is truly remarkable is that the developers have decided to offer this app at half off the regular price as a launch special. At only $4.99 there is no reason you should not be downloading it right now.
