MiniSynth PRO for iPad Demo with Jim Yonac

We collaborated with our good friends at Williamsburg multi-media think tank One Line Creative to create an awesome new video! In this video, Yonac Software CEO Jim Yonac demonstrates how simple it is to create sounds and music on MiniSynth PRO. While MiniSynth PRO is a very powerful synthesizer - you don't have to be an expert to create your own sounds! We also scored the entire soundtrack using only MiniSynth PRO.

Live from New York...

Check out what our good friend Julie made for us... miniSynth PRO cake!!! I know there has been synth cake, but is this the first iPad synth cake???

In other news, we are working on a new app for the iPad...

mini and beyond

It's a thrill...our happy little app, miniSynth makes an appearance in the latest three iPhone commercials with its proud (and maybe often imitated...but this is vain) bucktooth icon.

The next update (already in) shall include French language support. Just to show we appreciate Liberté, égalité, fraternité.

Meanwhile, we're working on a pair of new apps, with a twist (oh, no...not like the Tarantino film...or maybe). Tickle soundbuds.

On the Last Day of August

We've been quiet recently...mostly as we were working on some updates. A couple of these were submitted this and the previous week. Then, there's also a new app we also submitted some weeks ago, but didn't talk much about. Things sound a bit slow so far as the review cycle goes, from what I heard...hence, there isn't even much point in hyping it up :) Que sera, sera, right?

Strings

Our new tuner is out. Some changes to the website today, and finally our links page is up. New app...yes, it's a tuner. No, it doesn't make sound, but measures it. Check out some of the lab footage and let us know what you think. We thought long, cold and hard doing this thing. It's not the same kind of fun as writing a synth, but it's got a charm of its own.

Hype aside, there was really a year's worth of effort put into this. By Newton's good graces, if you put strings on wood, they just don't behave anymore...so that's when testing and measurement came in handy, and we ended up working the results into a number of algorithms.

This also involved me personally in a lot of made-for-iphone and stand alone tuners out there. As a tip, to find out if it's good or not, pluck a harmonic and watch the dial go. Not to give away a trade secret here, but a good number of them go awry.

Three Pieces of News (One, really)

Our last app passed final testing and was given away earlier today. It's cute. That's the news.

We also put in some overtime this last week and weekend to augment the video library some. There's now a new one for Steel Guitar, and two for the synth trio of MegaSynth, the mini and the therm. The latter were pulled out of about 2 hours of live experimentation, after a voice suddenly said, "why in the hell don't you plug all this into a mixer and see what comes up." Hence, no pretence or marketing is intended...probably need to add some percussion though.

miniSynth Update

Submitted 2.1 earlier today. By popular demand, this version offers two skin options: classic and new.
