Synthecaster App Reviews

Great update to this app, now even better than ever .

Easy and intuitive to use, this app packs an enormous range of variables into a sleek, beautiful design. I really appreciate the options to toggle note names and highlight scales in every key. With MIDI functionality added, this app will take you from music theory studies to any party or jam sesh. GET IT NOW!

There's a ridiculous amount of customization and different synth presets on this thing. The interface is so easy to use a baby can literally play a song with it. I don't really know how to play music but I can spend over an hour at a time just jamming with this app. Highly recommended!

Nice update! Great new stuff for iPad users. Nice update for iPhone, too. Synthecaster is my new favorite midi controller for virtual midi synths. Doesn't hurt that I am a guitar player.

This app is such a refreshing take on making music. The expressiveness is bar none when compared to traditional synth apps with a piano keyboard. The interface is so simple, yet this app has lots of the nuts and bolts needed to plug into a modern iOS music production system. I like it a LOT. So much creative fun.

Midi controller and has a built in synth. Don't try and do runs or span a keyboard on other iOS synths key. Use this instead.

This was a huge surprise! And a welcome one. It's clean and straight forward interface and synth engine is a joy to use plus the poly pitch bend is yearning to be stretched and the effects are really useful and well thought out.Yes it is audio buss compatible and is a powerful midi controller that can control or be controlled.and for this price it gets two thumbs WAY up! Peace Christo

This is a non-keyboard players dream! Very well thought out and put together simple yet full of control over synths.... Thanks!

Built in synth engine that is more than adequate and fantastic presets to get one going in a jiff! A must have for any iOS musician or for someone that wants to have fun making music with their fingers. Noise, soundtracks, compositions, solos, bass lines... It does it all!

The design of this app is different but I get it. Non keyboard musicians or not very good with keyboards (like me) can have fun with this. I know I was when I was spending a lot of time just exploring the sounds or more like 'manipulating' the sounds I was hearing. This is a very expressive instrument (acoustic instrument like) and not just a touch this 'button/key' instrument or app. Very cool and I'm glad to try to learn how to play it.

So far so good! I've been playing around with this App for a few days on my iPad Air 2 and I'm really impressed. It's really a great way to jam when all I have is my iPad, offering a wide array of customizations for the interface and the instrument. I've also successfully used it to connect over network to my MacBook Pro and control Ableton Live 9, so I'll likely be using this to write and record as well. Highly recommended.

So many nice sounds and so convenient controls in so small app. That said, you are free to customize the tuning however you wish, like with string instruments (of course, with semitone step). Buy it, pal. * i only wish it would start upside down when screen rotation is locked, that is respecting ipad cover used as a stand

I love alternate controllers and this is a straightforward one with a surprising amount of customization available under the hood. I recommend trying it out.
