Lorentz - AUv3 Plug-in Synth

Regular classic synth sounds. Reason for high rating is this is very efficient, low cpu for most things, which is always an issue on iPad versus laptop.

Like all of their synths! Great sounding! Get it now!

I own a LOT of iPad audio apps and well over 30 iOS synths. Of those, there are only a handful I would use for professional recording, such as Moog Model 15, Animoog, Korg ARP Odessei, Nave, and a few others. I would put Lorentz in that elite group. It can sound like a Jupiter 8 or a CS80 or even a 303. The routing is amazing… the filters are top-notch (a full LPF on just the Delay)… and that resonator just fills the sound with harmonics. Lorentz does dark and gritty very well too. It has all the MIDI options needed as well as Link. Did I mention it has dual envelopes? The other IceWorks synths are great too but this is my dog right here.

Good synth for working with bass, pads, leads, poly. Nice clean one-page interface, only other window is for the arp. (And it's a really good arp too, jam on it in real time.) LPF on the delay does lead to some interesting patches if you are a delay junkie. Not overloaded with presets but most of what they include are usable, very few of the "I created this amazing patch that you are never going to use" type. Dual filters remind me of my Virus. More of a "digital" sound than synths like iSEM or iMini, but not harsh. Reliable too. Audiobus is solid. Midi learn. You can create your own folders for user presets. You can create arp presets too. All good.

Of the 44 synths I currently have loaded on my iPad, this one ranks up at the top of the pile. The interface is very intuitive and the sound engine is simply beautiful. This is one app that I take great pleasure in composing with or simply noodling. I also really like IceWorks other synths, Laplace, Mersenne, and Cassini. All are very well done but this one is perhaps my favorite. In a field that's saturated with so many synth apps its easy to miss some really great ones. I'm glad I gave this one a try!
