synthPond splendour

Play the music of the spheres with synthPond. App Store link (1,59 €)

synthPond is a synthesizer to create music in a new way. Instead of a standard keybord and some knobs, you have a graphic interface, a space in which you put nodes of different types to create sounds.

synthpond is another beautiful app from Zach Gage, the maker of unify. I won’t explain here how to use synthPond. It may seem difficult at the beginning, but it is very intuitive and the help pages are very good. There is also a video tutorial in Zach’s page.

The idea of a graphic synthesizer is not new. But there are not so many apps using it. You don’t have the whole freedom of a standard synthesizer here, but this is not the aim of this app. Personally, I like how synthPond makes music visible in a simple and compelling way, and translates the temporal component of music in a spacial one.

You won’t probably write the next summer hit with synthPond, but you will create nice music pieces, or sound compositions with it. And the will look even better.
