Another top notch video, Jakob. You are one of the hardest working video editors in the KZfaq syth scene. I appreciate all the care you put into your productions.

Great to have you back Jakob, and “yes!” to the Factory special. I don’t use that synth enough- possibly because I don’t know my way around all of it. Great that Lagrange made the top 5 too...

Glad you're back Jakob and with a great video too! Shockwave gets my vote - it's incredible!

MiRack is tha business. It’s my go to for effect plugins - top mentions - ratchet, Sangster, plateau, the smashmaster distortions, and some Nysthi bucla emulations. It’s auv3 - so some of these go everywhere I go 😆 never mind the wires - just use a single module as an insert to begin with 🥰

Wow! That’s a lot of great stuff in one video! I might very well check some of these synths out. :)

You’ve been gone too long, I’m glad to see you’re back.

Factory is really good! There's a lot of different sounds you can get out of it. They made even the matrix fun to use, great overall UI.

Hey, I’m trying not to spend money over here! 🤨🤣😩 These all look amazing. Nice roundup.

I haven't been into synths long, but the second I heard Lagrange my jaw dropped. Something about those sounds clicked. Excellent job on those patches man!

Ah, you’re back! Missed you. 😊

“Bad Man Ting” is a smash!

Doggone Jakob! I said I wasn’t going to buy anymore games or music apps after the holidays, but this top five video is persuading me to go back on my word. Great video! 👍🏾

All excellent choices! Fantastic video Jacob!

I completely missed Factory. Good one!

Dude, a preset designer always gives the modwheel love!

Great video Jakob. I don’t have any of those Apps! Definitely some for the list there. I really enjoyed the video where you went and learned some Modular Synthesis very much. It still seems like weird science to me - so maybe that’s the one I should get. :)

I knew Shockwave was going to be #1.....You designed some great presets!

Quality content as ever my man. You have a comforting presence, good luck with the other projects.

thanks for this man, LaGrande and shockwave look really solid, and fun ;)

Yes to: Pure Acid and MiRack. The other ones are some of the Apps "I" recogniced but don't have the feeling to need them. I have enought complex Synths like Zeeon, D1and the Korg / Gadget synths. ;-)

You’re back! Missed you!I wonder if we'll see the Top5 FX soon！

Missed you, Jacob. Happy to see a new haQ attaQ.

Schokwave sounds amazing, I bought it of course. I love your presets, Fantastic....

Excellent list. A lot of amazing Apps I’d never even or kind of skipped over. Time to get back on the iOS thing again 😉

The section on Virtual ANS3 is very interesting; it’s pretty obvious that you know a LOT about this thing; I would like to see you do an in-depth vid about it.

All good picks, as usual - though some of the UI and MIDI bugs in Shockwave have put me off of it until Kai updates it. The keyboard app has some of the same sorts of issues, but Shockwave is much worse on that front. Though I am very fond of how it sounds and the modulation method - if it was easier to work with, I would be happy to do more with it. For me, the miRack started badly - with bugs and changes that hit me hard. It has grown beautifully since then, however. It is almost too much - almost, but not. Factory, once Nadine from Sugar Bytes put BPM control into the standalone version almost immediately on my request, has been all sorts of fun. They put out consistently good stuff - its apps are both creative and professional. And the support is first-rate, which is not the norm among even small-scale developers. Anyway, happy new year. You remind me today I should be better about hooking up controllers to IOS. I tend not to do it, even when I could do it. Dealing with the MIDI in some apps in onerous, but really, I have just lost the habit. It's nice to have hardware controllers, though. Thanks for the positive reinforcement.

very cool. I am amazed people spend thousands on eurorack stuff when the Ipad can do so much.

Re: ' no controller has enough knobs...' (10:00) - that's why the ancient behringer BCx2000 series have tripled in resale value.

KORG Electribe Wave was hot! Available as a AU3 and available as a KORG Gadget! That definitely made it one of my favorites of 2019. The sounds are top notch also!

You should call that something like DubTrap! Maybe its the future new born style.

As someone pointed out, Factory is actually a port of the desktop version. There are other Sugar Bytes apps that are ports of their desktop counterparts including Unique and Aparillo.

A couple of those synths are in my ‘to get’ list. Pretty decent list. It’s definitely a bad man ting.

MiRack! I've been waiting for you to talk about that one. I keep almost buying it...

Why would miRack surprise me it is an amazing iOs app, and it has to be the most flexible synth app today.

18:18 - Such a logical way to set modulation sources. Btw I just bought a couple of the synths based on this round up :)

Add a catchy Chorus in there and Bad man ting could be another "All star," who knows? Seriously though if there was a bang for your buck category it would be miRack. Great video

I still have VirtualANS, and it still works fine in Audiobus.

IT IS EXACTLY MY LIST TO BUY SOON (EXCEPT PRUE ACID) 🤘🏻

I did not know it was possible to layer in VirtualANS! that opens up a whole new world of sonic possibilities.

Bought Shockwave to get hold of some Haqqy goodness :-)

Great list!

Virtual ANS 2.3b ( so *not* 3 ) is running pretty happily on my latest iPadOS. I can also see v 3 as separate purchase on the store (which I don't have). So I'm not sure why they decided to release new separate version, but 64-bit transition was *not* it / possibly I was 'lucky' enough and it was just beta as the version indicates ? who knows ';) /

Thanks!

Yeah shockwave was the best

There is a version of Sugarbytes Factory available for Windows and macOS too.

FINALLY!!!!!! just kidding, love ya brother

Hi Jacob, Just got myself a Korg microkey air 37 Bluetooth keyboard which won't work via Bluetooth to my ipad ios13. I'm told I need to update the firmware on it before the bluetooth will work but can't do it on my old win7 pc. Can it be done via the ipad (wired in of course) ? Thanks Gary ps: I treated myself to the Blackhole Reverb app which is awesome and I notice your name in the presets... Nice job my friend !

The original ANS synth was actually used for early research in voice synthesis in Russia.

Mirack is Au3

Nice one 👍

Say, Jacob - how do you feel about portable acoustics?

5 great apps!

Actually loopop has a review of the faderfox 64 knob midi controller, I love mirack and I have been searching, prolly gonna get the midifighter twister

🙋‍♂️I want enough love for the saucillator that the name is fungible for the creator but not so much that future work on it will make it cost prohibitive to use.

Is Shockwave stable now? The app reviews seemed to suggest otherwise

synthmaster one is a serious wavetable synth for ios, what do you think about it?

I’d forgotten about Jakob!

I hope Sugar bytes brings the drum computer to IOS :)

Virtual ANS3 reminds me of MetaSynth. Aphex Twin used Metasynth to embed a picture of himself in one of his tracks.

You can add synth one now

Thank’s a lot:) why most of them cannot be tuned on 432Mhz?:(

virtual A.N.S

Are you stocked about low hiss (youtubechannel) homemade sp1200 sampler app Also avaible on linux

I agree with the complete list😂

.... Hi Jacob : Is the glitch on IOS 13 fix already ? , i use my IPAD has an instrument ... you made a video about the box appearing when trying to key on the screen . Thanks

So does MiRack support ES-8 to use its LFOs in a real rack?

What all apps do I need to make the music heard at 10 : 58 ? can you tell please.

❤️

Hello. Tell me please what I need to sync any of these synts to my hardware equipment? Thank you

Apps for Android please!!!

That must have been a lot of work. Thanks!

Virtual Ans = MetaSynth?

May be your checklist should contain iPhone too

do all work with AUM?

Ok. Noen som vil kjøpe Korg Z 1 ? Seams to me that many people just refuse to realise how advansed and great these apps are. They refuse to let go of hardware and old synths . They refuse to look into ios synths cos they are afraid of finding the truth
