SpaceLab (App Store link) is a monophonic synthesizer for iOS.
It has four ways to play: keyboard, graph, guitar, and wind controller. Underneath those interfaces is a fully programmable subtractive synth with oscillators, filters, envelopes, effects, FM, presets, an arpeggiator and full MIDI control.
It’s $.99 in the App Store. Demo below.

Here’s the SpaceLab take on the Theme from Midnight Express:
this is a good un! i reckon even the most harcore analog lovers will recognise this ones potential!
Not to be confused with “Spacelab for IOS” Which I clicked buy on accidentally 😛
That “guitar”controller would have been much more usable, if it would have had at least a couple of voices of polyphony.
Sounds good, but so does many others.
This is a great little synth. Especially for a buck.
This is pretty cool; I’m having a lot of fun with this! It has some character thanks to the bitcrusher and FM. I only wish it had a noise source even though it can get pretty hairy. There are a lot more robust synth apps out there… especially when it comes to the subtractive analog modeling paradigm, but this is great for a buck. It has enough features to be useful but not too many as to be daunting. I don’t know why, but it reminds me of an EDP Wasp… which is awesome!
Nice, but … I don’t have two iPads.
Is it really that hard to do polyphony on a 1 GHz processor? I mean, Reason 2.5 works fine on my Power Mac G4… and ReBirth required a 90 MHz Pentium and a whopping 16 MB of RAM back in the day…
But then again… it’s 99 cents, while Reason cost hundreds of 2001 dollars.
There are many polyphonic synths for the iPad. Want polyphony? Get one of those.
dunno why but i dig the hell out of the gui on this one and i dont say that often. good job guys.
also reminds me how much arturia guis suck.
they had my 99cents as soon as i heard the coast to coast theme 😉
I can’t buy it on my country! Please activate it internationally!
