VirSyn's Cube synth has been doing the business for desktop users for some time, and now a version for iPad musicians has been released.
Cube Synth marries additive synthesis features to supposedly easy editing and morphing options, enabling you to create evolving soundscapes, vocal phrases or rhythms. Use one of the predefined envelopes and a complex, multi-parameter preset is automatically created - you can then make deep edits if you so wish.
At the other end of the scale, there's also a randomise option: roll the dice and see what happens.
Spec details are below. Cube Synth is available now from the Apple App Store at an introductory price of £6.99/$9.99. This will double in due course.
