Another great synth from Tenacious Frog – TF8 Synth Review

The developer of TF7, arguably the finest FM synth for iPad, releases TF8 for iPhone. Unlike TF7 this is a subtractive synth. It uses the same pad style UI for the playing area as TF7 (tilt your phone to landscape), to which you can assign whammy and vibrato modulations. It's a fun take on using a touchscreen interface to bust out new melodies and chords. You can download the app for free and try out a few sounds and whatnot, if you like it you simply buy and unlock the whole thing via one IAP purchase. Same model used in TF7 (and many other great synths, like Alchemy etc). Not sure why some people think being able to demo an app before purchase is a bad thing. Bottom line, it sounds good, have a reverb that while kinda barebones with only 2 knobs, can be cranked up to one big lush verb. The other effects are up there as well. Not that many iPhone dedicated synths being released these days, that pad UI works a lot better then any virtual keyboard on a small iPhone screen though, so you can do chords on this thing.:-)
