Laplace - AUv3 Plug-in Synth

Laplace is a physical-modeling synthesizer based on resonator synthesis that makes it easy to create bowed string, plucked string, blown pipe and metallic sounds. But it is designed not to reproduce real acoustic instruments but to create new synthesizer sounds in different new ways.

Reviews

Capable of serious noise / drone experiments
Scottsunn

Don’t let the presets fool you, this synth can sound like the jaws of hell if set it right, can’t wait to hear it on a big soundsystem.


lots of fun [5*]
Chezzdog2

app has a great arp. app should be marketed as Lapdance. sales would rise.


No more need for my Neuron.

This synth is worth 100 times more than it costs!!! Well done iceGear! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE release an Audio Unit version for Logic X!


Exceeded my expectations
MuzikAppJunkie

Not many synths in the iOS market can reproduce a wide range of natural sounds. Some of the better FM style synths can give good glass or metallic textures but for a long time that has been the limit. For a long time I have been falling back on the Sculpture Modeling Synth from Logic if i wanted a well-wrought wood or nylon synth sound and not just some sampled instrument. No more. I have grown quite comfortable wrapped up in a patchwork quilt of apps and get cranky when I have to use the computer for anything other than recording and mastering. Thank you, Laplace. And please don't introduce any IAPs in the future. If Korg cannot do this tastefully then no one can.


Unexpectedly versatile
B'bba

I love physical modeling synthesis!! Laplace (pronounced: la-PLAHZ) is terrific. The design is very clever and effective. It is both easy to get started and relatively easy to get a HUGE range of sounds from breathy flutes, mellow bowed sounds, to brass ensembles. It is pretty intuitive once you figure out the 3 different mixer knobs— those help you hear what each little element is doing. I wish the reverb was a little nicer. I also wish there were a couple more parameters that could be controlled by velocity. Notwithstanding, this is a unique and delicious synth!! Kudos to iceWorks!!!


Its Own Sonic Character
ZenLizard

This one IS different, in how it works, and how it sounds. Just start the arp, change chords occasionally, and tweak tweak tweak all the knobs everywhere. Get ready for a long and fruitful journey.


It's satisfactory
Long words

I like Cassini better. I'm not sure if I am a fan of this type of synthesis. I can't fault the app for this so I'm not going to. Right now this is a ? for me.


Not wonderful - not bad either
AshFallenBrightly

I was expecting something like what you'd find in NI's Reaktor 5 ... Disappointing - but not "horrible" nice UI tho ... Maybe with some updates this can be as mesmerizing as some of Reaktors physical models of resonators


From the guys that gave us Cassini
Aka monkey dope

This is another mine field of wonderful noises pads chunky arpeggiator stuff and much much more. Perfect for atmospheric sound design! Wow! What's not to love?Peace Christo


The patches don't do this synth justice
Dustyny

The patches are pretty boring and don't sit well with my music but the sound engine is amazing. The FM is very useful and I'm getting some really brutal cutting sounds out of this. If they got some different sounds designers to contribute patches, I think the potential of this synth would be very quickly seen. Great work! Glad I took the chance and bought it. Their other synth was my go to for a long time, so I knew this one had to be good.
