Dmitrij Pavlov has introduced Poison-202 – a new iOS software synth designed for creating ‘vintage’ synth sounds.
It is inspired by the classic hardware synthesizers of 80’s and 90’s and offers oscillators, cutoff Filters, ADSR-envelopes, ring, cross modulation, LFOs, sync, super-saw oscillator and more. The library of 150 built-in factory presets includes patches inspired by the music of The Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, Azzido Da Bass, Darude, Kraftwerk, Daft Punk and others.
You can play directly on your iPhone / iPad or you can use it with a USB MIDI keyboard.
Features:
- 2 oscillators with selectable wave form and pitch
- 5 oscillator waveforms: Saw, Pulse (with adjustable Pulse Width), Sine, Triangle and Super-Saw
- one Super Saw oscillator generates 7 individual saw oscillators at the same time, with adjustable Mix and Detune parameters, reproducing famous classic analog strings and hoover sounds
- additional (third) sinusoid sub oscillator + noise generator
- 2x-oversampled internal sound mixing frequency (96,000 Hz on iPhone 6s)
- 2 TVF (time variant filter) modules with Cutoff, Resonance, Keyboard tracking and ADSR envelope, 12 dB/octave
- 2 TVA (time variant amplifier) modules with ADSR envelope
- It is possible to pair two 12 dB TVF to get one 24 dB filter
- Pitch envelope (Attack/Decay) for each oscillator
- Ring modulation
- Sync modulation
- Pulse width modulation (PWM)
- Cross frequency modulation
- 2 LFO modulation sources with Frequency and Fade-In parameters
- LFO cross-modulation
- 6 waveforms of LFO: Triangle, Sine, Saw, Square, Trapezoid and Random (Sample & Hold)
- 4 LFO modulation destinations: Pitch, Filter, Amplifier and PWM
- Note Portamento
- 3-band EQ for each patch
- Digital realtime effects: Distortion, Bit-Crusher, Chorus, Flanger, Delay, Panning Delay and Reverb with adjustable parameters
- Master brickwall type limiter (can be switched on/off)
- Two signal flow connection structures: Parallel and Serial
- Solo playing mode with Legato switch
- Pitch Wheel with adjustable pitch bend range (2 – 24 semitones)
- Modulation Wheel with assignable controls
- Receive MIDI events: Note On, Note Off, Note Velocity, Control Change (Modulation Wheel), Pitch Bend Change, Program Change, Bank Select LSB/MSB
- Arpeggiator with 6 selectable modes and 12 rhythm patterns with tempo and swing feel control
- Scale play mode when playing onscreen keyboard with over 40 different scales to select from
- Voice polyphony up to 24
- Up to 100 user presets to store
- Scalable and movable onscreen keyboard with key velocity control
- CPU usage indicator
- Volume meter
- Show Oscillogram feature (can be switched on from Settings Page)
- Inter-App Audio supported (MIDI-Instrument mode) to use Poison-202 together with other musical apps and sequencers on your iPhone/iPad, such as Garage Band and others.
Pricing and Availability
Poison-202 is available now for US $9.99.
Nice to see IOS snths getting with the higher sampling rate bandwagon.
It’s driving me out of my mind
That’s why it’s hard for me to find
Can’t get it outta my head
Miss her, kiss her, love her, wrong move you’re dead
That girl is poison
Never trust a big butt and smile
That girl is poison poison
yikes
nice to get retro without samples
The presets are solid gold on this!
Will it run good on an Old iPhone4? Someone here who tested it? Would be a dope Synth to play via Midi…
According to dev AU and Audiobus is coming in next update 🙂
Sounds good but not sure what it offers that Sunrizer doesn’t.
Love the look of this synth ( and the sound ). It looks a bit ‘Aria’ doesn’t it. Sounds really phat!
