User Reviews for Shoom Synthesizer

Almost there...

Giving this 5 stars because it sounds really, really good, and it's a good concept without much (supported, at least) competition in the App Store. It needs a few things to be perfect: a built in arpeggiator, and the ability to record movements on the xy pad would put this over the top. Also, the ability to respond to midi notes would be a plus, but as the whole point is as an xy pad synth, not totally necessary. Also, I thought the mod options were severely limited, as the layout doesn't make it immediately apparent, but if you click on the mod destinations for the lfos and y axis you can change the destination. A freely assignable mod envelope would be great too. And finally, I haven't checked yet, but if this doesn't already respond to midi bank and program changes, that would be amazing. All that said, I have a feeling at least some of these features will be implemented, so if you're looking for a really fun to play synth app for textures, drones, bleeps and glitches, definitely worth buying.

Instabuy for serious iOS musicians

I waited for this since seeing the first demo--it didn't disappoint. It didn't take me long to get the hang of tweaking both sounds and settings. Shoom will fit nicely among my current ensemble of go-tos as it produces very usable material for both ambient soundtracks and beat oriented stuff too.

Fantastic...

One of the first iOS instruments I bought was Yuri's Xynthesizr; it didn't take long to figure out that he was a very creative and innovative programmer and musician. I have spent lots of very creative hours with that app, and still do. Shoom is every bit as interesting, maybe more so. I can easily imagine lots of very late nights messing around with this thing, and I'm looking forward to diving into it. I just spent about 15 minutes playing around with his demo files, and I can't put it away... Thanks for another really great app!!!

Amazing‼️

When I saw some of the demo videos I thought this looked like an interesting instrument. The price warranted a closer look. All I can say is WOW! Incredible sounds! Plenty of control over those sounds. Lots of mdi function. And did I mention how good it sounds!? This app could be used in many genres of music but if you're into ambient soundscapes then you MUST purchase this! Very nice job, Yuri!

Five stars when ...

I have over a hundred iOS synth/effect appsThis is definitely a welcomed app to my collection. I really think the synth has a phenomenal personality. The user interface needs some polishing as things don't seem intuitively laid out. I'd like to see a cut audio switch and a free lfo. Some lipstick on the gui and a full screen mode for performance

Masterful

Being the proud owner of nearly every synth in the d*mn app store, it takes a special kind of synth to really grab my attention these days. This synth has done just that. There are no words for just how incredible it really is. Pay the ten bucks. We need to make sure this guy keeps developing apps for years to come.

Experimental and Ambient niceness

First- Thanks to the developer for including Bluetooth speaker support. I've found this lacking in many other synth/music apps. I mainly work with ambient/experimental/avant-garde type stuff and I looove this app. I find Shoom very easy to extract inspirational loops, sounds ,drones from. I mainly work from a collage type approach and, once again, I find this excellent for that sort of use. I like the layout and the controls. Just great. Looking forward to more releases from this developer. 👍🏻

Great Drone Scales Galore

Among other things, this app is great for generating drones. You can use MIDI CC sending apps to modulate the many parameters in Shoom. Lots of scales to choose from. Being able to select different presets for each of the three synths, and play multiple notes on them which can be held lets you create very complex and textured sounds.

Shoom is brilliant!

Shoom is an immediate favorite app of mine. Coming from the developer of the excellent Xynthiszr, Shoom fills a major need in the iOS music world. Shoom will now replace the (sadly abandoned) Dr. OM, NoiseMusick and Droneo apps in my arsena;.Shoom is incredibly good at creating drones. With its three oscillators, you can make some long drones with space for some soaring spaced-out leads on top. The sound pallette available is remarkable, and programming is a breeze. This app will appeal to those who may not have a breadth of knowledge when it comes to sound synthesis, as the presets alone are immediately playable. But, if you know your way around programming oscillators, filter envelopes, etc., then Shoom will be even more excellent.I can't recommend this app enough!

A dream come true

The possibilities offered in this app are great, intuitive design, being able to create your own tunings by assigning specific tone frequencies to each note and then making your own scales it’s a dream come true for me. Also the presets are fantastic as well, creating my own synths it’s a rewarding activity. Thank you very much.

Description

Shoom is an expressive XY pad synthesizer. Or, more precisely, three identical synthesizers in one app. It is capable of playing any pitch in the audible range and doesn’t necessarily limit you to a particular scale.

Nevertheless, if you do want to use scales, Shoom can deliver anything from common 12-tone equal tempered to xenharmonic and microtonal. Features: • Three independent synthesizers • 8–20,000 Hz pitch range • Slide freely or snap notes to scale with adjustable glide rate • Set notes to infinite hold using a dedicated toggle • Microtonal and non-octave repeating scales support • MIDI note input (including MPE), CC control and clock sync • Optional remapping of MIDI notes to the pitches of the selected scale • Bluetooth MIDI support • Inter-App Audio support with main mix and individual synth outputs • Audiobus 3 support (including AB MIDI) • Ableton Link support • 120+ bundled presets • Import and export of presets and CC maps Synthesizer engine features: • Adjustable polyphony, up to 30 voices • Two oscillators with 4 waveforms and PWM, and one noise generator • Oscillator FM cross-modulation • 4 pole (24 dB/octave) resonant low pass filter with overdrive and pitch tracking • 2 variable slope ADSR envelopes for amplitude and filter cutoff • 2 LFOs with 9 waveforms, up to 3 out of 12 simultaneously assignable parameters, trigger and global running modes, fade-in and phase controls • Y-axis position / MIDI CC#74 as modulation source with up to 3 of 15 simultaneously assignable parameters • MIDI channel pressure / polyphonic aftertouch as modulation source with up to 3 of 15 simultaneously assignable parameters • MIDI velocity modulation of amplitude and filter envelopes • Note pan randomizer • Built-in stereo delay and reverb effects
