Aparillo iPad (iOS) FM Synthesizer App by Sugar Bytes

Sugar Bytes Aparillo synthesizer is now available for the iPad, giving iOS musicians and sound researchers a powerful FM synthesizer.

Aparillo by Sugar Bytes was introduced last year, but “only” as a plug-in for Windows and Mac. Now, the Sugar Bytes company present us the iOS version, just as you know it from the previous products Thesys, Cyclop, Egoist, Turnado and so on.

As before, Aparillo is an extensive FM synthesizer that can handle up to 16 voices. An ingenious arrangement of synthesis, waveshaping, filtering, effects and modulations should make a serious sound designer tool.

Especially exciting is the Orbiter, which allows the blending of numerous synth parameters in a playful way. A modulable scale editor provides unison spreads, harmonic constructs, melodies, up to 16 harmonious orchestras.

In general, Aparillo aims at dynamic sound textures for cinema trailers, electronic music, film music, effect sounds, etc. Supported iOS interfaces include Audio Unit v3 Plugin, Standalone App, and Ableton Link.
