VAPolyFM

Hybrid Synthesizer

VAPolyFM is a hybrid polyphonic synthesizer for iPhone, iPad and Mac. It features FM synthesizer and subtractive synthesizer. It operates as a stand alone or as an AudioUnit Extension (AUv3).  Stand Alone supports Ableton Link, MIDI and audio file export.

Synthesizer

FM synthesizer features 6 operators and 32 algorithm and it is inspired by FM synthesizers of the 1980’s. Virtual analog subtractive synthesizer features two oscillators, resonant high pass filter, resonant  low pass filter and two ADSR envelopes per voice. 

Effects

The Effects include delay, chorus, flanger, reverb, eq and compressor.

Sequencer

The sequencer features piano roll and parameter automation editor to program 16 bar pattern per clip.
