4 Year Anniversary!

September marks our 4th birthday of being in the App Store! In particular, 4 years ago, we released miniSynth, the first synth on the iPhone, in the App Store. Can you believe how far we've come in 4 years???

We'd like to invite everyone to celebrate our anniversary with us... ALL our apps will be 99 cents for 24 hours only! For Friday, September 28th (EST)! Every single app will be only 99 cents! Here's a full list of all our apps.

If you follow us on Twitter or other things, you probably know that right now we are hard at work on Magellan for the iPhone. Things are moving along quite smoothly! Here's the first screenshot of Magellan for iPhone - this screenshot is from the iPhone 5, but Magellan will support both the old and new screen sizes:


Finally, a few people have been asking us if we will support Audiobus... the answer is yes! We don't have any access to any info or APIs... so whenever that is publicly available, we will support it :)

Introducing... Magellan, Professional Analog Modelling Synthesizer for iPad

We've been hard at work this year, and are very excited to present our new synthesizer. Magellan boldly travels waters where others have not dared to sail: Two independent polyphonic synth engines, with a total of 6 configurable oscillators. Polyphonic unison mode giving 24 simultaneous wave generators. Two filter banks per synth engine, each bank with its dedicated envelope and 11 unique filter types to choose from. FM synthesis module with blend and dedicated envelope. Dual LFOs in each synth with 4 freely assignable destinations each. Complete FX rack with modulation, time-delay, reverb and wave shaping effects. Dual traditional keyboards, as well as dual touch pad performance interfaces with individual parametric control over each voice. Built in arpeggiator for each synth engine, allowing you to run two different arps simultaneously, as well as a built in analog-inspired polyphonic step sequencer, and much more!

Here are a few sound samples from Magellan factory presets:

You don't have to go around the world for amazing sounds - Magellan will be coming to the iPad very soon!

Happy Birthday MiniSynth PRO and iPad!!!

Two years ago, the iPad came out. And our MiniSynth PRO was there on opening day. We're so proud! To celebrate, we're putting all our iPad apps on sale for ONE day only! That's MiniSynth PRO, SHREDDER - Synth for Guitar, Pitchbot - Smart Chromatic Tuner, ORGAN+, AirVox, MiniDrum PRO, and GhostGuitar!

Also to celebrate, we are adding MANY awesome new presets to MiniSynth PRO! We will be submitting the update this week, so those will be coming soon!

And we have one more special announcement…. we are working on a brand new synthesizer for the iPad: MiniSynth PRO 2.0! Expect to see tons more info on MSP2 throughout April…

Introducing SHREDDER - Synth for Guitar!

We are pleased to announce SHREDDER, the first professional iPad synthesizer designed for the guitar! SHREDDER also harnesses the awesome power of virtual MIDI: use SHREDDER to have your guitar control any iPad synth with virtual MIDI, or even hardware MIDI devices!

- Connect your guitar to your iPad through the USB (such as Apogee Jam, Griffin GuitarConnect Pro, Sonoma GuitarJack 2), Jack/Mic (such as iRig), or use the iPad's built-in microphone
- Uses real FM/subtractive analog-modeling synthesis
- Can also be controlled by the onscreen keyboard, or a hardware MIDI controller
- Comes with three of our signature stomp boxes: Fuzz Goblin, Ghoul Vibrations, and Echo-Plasm
- Over 100 presets to get you started; save an endless number of user presets

SHREDDER will be available on December 14th for a *special* introductory holiday price of $5.99 (going up to the regular price of $14.99 on January 14, 2012).

Here is a short teaser clip. Stay tuned for more info!

Tis the Season...

Listen to our first teaser sound clip from our new app!

New App Teaser Clip

The sound clip is made from only two tracks: our new app, plus rhythm guitar.

We're working really hard to try to have it available before Christmas. One special feature we've already announced: this app will have Virtual MIDI!

Summertime

ORGAN+ is getting an update! We submitted it last night - a small bug fix and some improvements to the file management.

You've probably heard all about AirVox. We're really excited about this technology! We released it about a week and a half ago. Last week, AirVox was featured in Apple's New & Noteworthy in over 98 countries. In the next few weeks, we'll definitely be doing more AirVox videos and possibly a contest.


Right now we are working on a NEW MUSIC APP that is also very, VERY exciting! After that we have scheduled some updates to our existing apps. We definitely love to hear from users and listen to all input and ideas. If you have an idea or something you'd like to see in our existing apps, always feel free to e-mail us: support at yonac dot com

miniDrum PRO: Bundles Expo

We created this little tune that showcases almost every bundle that comes with miniDrum PRO. We thought it would be nice for new users to check out this sound file (instead of having to click on every bundle to learn what is what). We left comments letting you know which bundle is playing. All the effects were turned off for this clip. A reminder that miniDrum PRO also allows you to upload your own samples and mix all the samples in your bundle via the bundle editor.
