Make loops, sounds, melodic patterns, and more, with VirSyn Addictive Synth, a new virtual synthesizer instrument developed for iPad.

Addictive Synth, a dynamic wavetable synthesizer, allows you to explore a wide range of sonic territory, VirSyn says, from acid loops, crystal clear percussions, and realistic human choirs to complex musical soundscapes and everything in between. The soft synth boasts straight-forward, tweakable parameters and functions, including an intelligent randomizer for both sounds and arpeggios, six dynamic wavetable oscillators per voice, a control matrix, and more.

The new instrument takes advantage of the iPad's touch screen, making it easy for users to "play" Addictive Synth by simply swiping, dragging, or tapping the screen. Alternatively, with the Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit (sold separately), you can use a CoreMIDI-compatible MIDI Keyboard to control Addictive Synth.
