Description
ModSynth is a powerful modular synthesizer allowing construction of complex polyphonic instruments. Connect any number of oscillators, filters, delays and other synthesizer modules in a graphical editor. Adjust the settings of each module while playing the instrument to get a desired sound. Save as many instruments or variants of an instrument as you'd like. Ten built-in instruments are provided to help you get started.
The free version contains the following modules: - Keyboard - Pad (for theremin and "scratching" effects) - Oscillator - Filter - Envelope - Mixer - Amp - LFO - Sequencer - Delay (echo) - Output (with scope to see the sound)
In-app purchase the full version ($5 US) to expand polyphony (from 3 voices to 10), unlock advanced capabilities, and access these additional modules: - Arpeggiator for sequential playing of the notes in a chord - Melody for more complex sequences of notes - MultiOsc for strings and other chorus sounds, - Unison for more complex chorusing, - Operator for building FM synthesis, - PCM for sampled sounds (WAV and SF2 SoundFont files), - Reverb for simulating room acoustics. - Crusher for adding digital distortion. - Compressor to combine all voices and even the sound levels - Pan to direct sound to either left or right stereo channels. - SpectralFilter to control the spectrum of a sound with a bank of 25 bandpass filters - Function module allowing entry of an arithmetic expression for the module's function The full version also provides the ability to record sounds to a WAV file.
ModSynth has support for external MIDI controllers such as keyboards or DAWs, including mapping of controls to CCs. It has low latency on devices supporting Android low latency. All oscillators are anti-aliased, providing low distortion at higher frequencies.
A guide to using ModSynth can be found at http://bjowings.weebly.com/modsynth.html .
A VST plugin is available to run ModSynth created instruments on VST hosts on Windows. See http://bjowings.weebly.com/modsynthvst.html for the free download and instructions.

Comments on ModSynth Modular Synthesizer for Android
★★★★★T J· May 25, 2022
For the discriminating synthesizer creator/player, this thing is very impressive, and the sounds are excellent. I thought I had an issue with the output through headphones and the developer got right on it to resolve an issue I should have noticed (nothing to do with the app at all). Anyway, because you have to "patch" modules together to make noises/sounds/music, this may not be everyone' cup of tea (in which case I can highly recommend the developer's other app, Easy Synth), but, for me, most of the fun lies with experimenting on patching the various modules in different ways. And the sounds I have been able to create are insane in the best way possible.

The app has a user-friendly interface for building your own synthesizer set-ups. There's no ads or anything nagging you to upgrade to the paid version. Even without the paid version the app is well worth trying. I decided to upgrade, so I could use the PCM module and was pleasantly surprised with how many extra features are added in the paid version.

Everything has worked very well so far. This is a great modular synth app for coming to grips with how patches work.
★★☆☆☆Tim Bailey· Jan 27, 2022
When I select to add another module, there is no way of going back to the keyboard. It's stuck on that screen, no buttons to select... Nothing! Only thing I can do is select back on my device.... Which then closes the app all together. Such a shame because the easy synth is fantastic. This has a massive flaw rendering it useless unless I'm happy just playing the pre-sets. Which I'm not. I want to add modules & experiment, that's what this app is all about.

There is a serious issue in this app. My phone hang while editing instruments. Also, the desired sound can not be produced while changing parameters like pitch, attack, release etc., on contrary, that produces weird bad sound than pre-defined sounds.

Wanted to like it but when tried built-in settings keyboard disappeared and can't figure out how to get it back. Mmm....

Frequently crashed or crashed my audio engine. I don't have the most top of the line phone, but Unbox delivers similar functionality without randomly dying or going silent *shrug*. I'm sure it has a flavor all It's own that I'm missing out on and others might enjoy, but from what I've seen there are similar, more stable apps available.
