VAPoly16
Bitimbral Polyphonic Synthesizer
VAPoly16 is a virtual analog bitimbral polyphonic synthesizer for iPhone, iPad and Mac. It features 16 voice synthesizer, effects, sequencer and audio visualization tools. It operates as a stand alone or as an AudioUnit Extension (AUv3). Stand Alone supports Ableton Link, MIDI and audio file export.
Synthesizer
The synthesizer consists of two 8 voice synthesizer, which features two oscillators, two ADSR envelopes, resonant high pass and low pass filter and an amplifier per voice. The oscillators features continuously variable wave shape and wide variety of modulation. The filters are modeled on the Sallen-Key filter circuit for classic analog sound.
Effects
The Effects include delay, chorus, flanger, reverb, eq and compressor.
Sequencer
The sequencer features piano roll and automation editor to program 16 bar pattern per clip.
