Coming Soon: Physynth – Vintage Synthesizer for iPad
Date Added: Dec 7, 2011
06 December 2011:
Simian Squared have provided details of their soon-to-be-released “vintage” synthesizer for the iPad – Physynth! Powered by next-generation 3D graphics technologies, it is a stunning, beautiful device that will enable you to weave beautiful, fluid ‘Soundscapes’.
Physynth uses a state-of-the-art physics engine to trigger sounds using four real simulators, you charge physical objects with sound and collide them with other objects to trigger them. It is an entirely new way of creating music, a natural and fluid way to express yourself with a wide range of beautiful, realistic instruments.
FEATURES:
- Custom shaders especially designed for iPad2 and the beautiful high definition full-3D interface pushes the limits of what your device can do.
- iPad 1 owners are not left out, Physynth was designed to take full advantage of everything the device has to offer.
- Layer your sounds with Four-track Soundscaping.
- Jam with Realtime melody or rhythm over-dubbing.
- The physics-triggered sample engine with user-adjustable parameters means endless scenarios.
- Enjoy a wide range of beautiful sounding instruments with more coming in regular updates.
- Express yourself with full mixing control including full stereo panning, volume and digital special effects.
- Vintage hardware design with groundbreaking 3D tilt camera, stunning lighting and unbelievable next-gen graphics make Physynth the app to show your friends.
- Melody-mode to allow the user to play Physynth instruments like a traditional keyboard or drum pad.
- Headphones are recommended for full stereo immersion and realtime panning.

It seems that Simian Squared won’t be supporting OMAC in the near future because, in their words, “Physynth is designed to be a standalone experience :)”

Simian Squared later added this to their reply: “We always are open to suggestions and advice :) we designed physynth to be a self contained experience but that may change.” https://twitter.com/#!/ChimpSquared/status/146614003236487168
I agree, that video was the worst. It shows nothing of what it can do, or how it sounds, which usually means its going to be not so good.
Sorry, but that video is absolutely RUBBISH! :-) It looked like an advert for a Nintendo DS game …….. but without the game!! :D
Always nice to see new products and developers enter the scene. However, without pasteboard transfer, virtual midi and/or core midi, synths like this is at high risk of ending as a fart in the endless rivers of outdated apps that keep flowing from the abyss of iTunes. 3D graphics is not going to chance that I am afraid…..well, at least in my opinon. If you just want to “play” the synth manually and record by virtue of computer, cables, DA/AD converters and the rest of the usual suspects, I guess it will be fine -unless it sounds like crap, of course!
I totally agree. Any new serious audio app should be OMAC compatible (background MIDI and audio, MIDI sync, https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UW-8vPEf95p0zO0hV1lpwD5MTgefKB1y-jdWR-nFYM8/edit?hl=en_US&pli=1) and have some kind of audio pasteboard support.
It should be advertised upfront whether any of these features are supported or when they are planned to be developed.
Otherwise we won’t know nothing about its practical usefulness.
Do you even know that any of these things are not supported?
Not really, but I haven’t ever bumped into an app where it is not in the feature list if the app support midi and pasteboard transfer. DEVs who implement such things don’t usually keep it a secret. So either the app doesn’ t support it or it’s a case of bad PR. I believe the former is the case.
