Roxsyn Guitar Synthesizer

Yonac makes some great apps. My favorites are the Steel Guitar Pro and the Galileo 2 in terms of usefulness and the way they fit with other apps and midi control effects in an app like AUM. I don’t have Magellan Synth 2 or the newest Trooper, which I would love to check out, but haven’t found the reason to spend $15 for each yet. There is a lack of consistent quality guitar interface synths with midi translation that maintain iOS updates. The decent ones seem to suddenly vanish - like midimorphosis. That being said, that’s not what this app is. In fact there is no midi control function. It’s just a very thick and oozing filtering app that takes a guitar signal and destroys it with effect parameters commonly found on oscillation type synthesizers, with filtering, arping, and all of the other common audio effects, plus lots and lots of distortion. I have yet to find a use for it honestly, which is weird considering how many presets it has - presets that have very little range. Of you want to go from noisy lower pelagic oceanic deep distorted and modulated reverb to lush distorted low pass filtered arpeggiated offset delays that have no discernible pitch modulation, then there are millions of presets for everything in between those two. If there were better clean tones, o might be able to use this. A rare miss imo for Yonac, but you might find it vastly and useful.

This is the best guitar synth that picks up all the dynamics that other midi guitar synths don’t..It doesn’t have limited sound that gives off like the other apps, its very expressive with stuff like bending notes and vibrato. I just wish that the voices provided in this app also included saw wave, sine wave etc. All the sounds start sounding the same after a while. This app has a lot of potential to have a guitar player/ synthesist change the instrument of a synthesizer. The guitar is way more expressive than the piano because of how human it is to press a note on a fret and have it slightly off pitch when bending it just a little..the piano is so rigid in playing notes..sure they have a pitch wheel but its not as expressive as shaking notes on a guitar with your finger or whammy bar. If they have the traditional sounds like the sine wave and sawtooth, synthesizer players might consider playing a guitar instead..like what if there can be a foot pedal that can allow you to oscillate manually like a wah pedal. Please add the feature of adding the traditional sine wave and sawtooth, triangle, square etc. voices

This sounds better than Boss’s much-hyped new $200 synth pedal. The Boss demos/videos I’ve seen all have cheesy ‘80s synth sounds; if I wanted to play those, I’d just use a synth. The special sauce here is that Roxsyn produces more complex, interesting sounds (though it can still sound like Miami Vice if you want that.) The tracking and polyphony are quite good. Not perfect, but once you tweak the tracking it’s quite easy to play. It does glitch sometimes, but I embrace that as part of the sound. (20 years from now that’ll be “retro” and everyone will be emulating tracking glitches...)
