Low $1.99 price extended! – Transform your iPhone into a music production studio. SynthStation transforms your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad into a portable music production studio for mobile music creation. SynthStation gives you three powerful synthesizers for creating and modifying sonic textures used for melodies, chords, and bass lines. Built around Akai Professionals history in synthesis and drawing on the newest MINIAK synth, SynthStation sounds great and offers wide-ranging sonic flexibility with its virtual analog synthesis.

From the moment you start SynthStation, you'll know your way around. It is jam-packed with tools to help you create music with the convenience of your touch screen and each section works the way you work. With SynthStation, you can create and save sequences and complete songs. The app contains three different three-oscillator synths and a range of drum kits you can sequence and mix right in the SynthStation. For creating melodic and accompaniment parts, the SynthStation contains an arpeggiator with preset patterns, built-in effects and filters, and an XY touch control interface for expressive control of key parameters.

PERFORM
Play with keys, XY and arpeggiator controls. This is perfect place to make magic happen because it gives you access to all the common controls youll need in a performance or creation setting.

SYNTH
Complete synthesis controls from oscillators to LFOs, envelopes, and more. You can control a wide range of filters to dial in exactly the sound you need. Choose from Sine, Triangle, Square or Sawtooth on your VCO and start creating your own signature sounds from scratch. Filter Cutoff and Resonance are just two taps away.

DRUMS
In addition to SynthStation's three synthesizers, we've included drum kits and a visual representation of the most iconic beat making tool in the world – MPC pads. Just pick your kit and start tapping beats anywhere, anytime. Includes:

Customer Reviews

New version nothing but splash screen (1 star)
This was a decent app with great sounds, but with the update it does nothing but show their stupid ad for the device I'm already using, and then crashes. When it was working it would never save anything, at anytime other than two-tracking it out live. I expect more from Akai.

Mr. (4 stars)
Yes, the UI is pretty bad, but it's mainly just ugly. Once you figure out how to get around it's not too awful. The sequencer is the worst part; the synth engine, by contrast, is sweet and very easy to get around on. The sequencer design reminds me of some of the more obtuse hardware sequencer interfaces of the 80s. Definitely a retro feel here.

I, too, had some installation issues as some have mentioned. I solved them by comp

Sup? (1 star)
Just bought this, made a song, and now it won't open the app. Just advertises a controller for an app that close right up. Awesome concept but not worth the headache at any rate ($) ATM.. Please fix! Would enjoy this station if it didn't crash and let you export audio on the fly.. IP's are a pain.
