About Phase84
+++++
Phase84 is a Tabletop Ready App. Combine Phase84 with drum machines, sequencers, effects, and more inside Tabletop — a free modular music app for iPad.
+++++
Phase84 is an extremely capable synthesizer and features over 110 presets, containing all sorts of basses, leads, pads, bell tones, sweeps, atmospheric sounds, pseudo-realistic tones, and more. While you don't need to know much about synthesizers to get a lot out of Phase84, experienced synth tweakers will be thrilled at the sheer variety of unique sounds that can be produced with this incredibly versatile synth.
So What's Phase84 All About?
Phase84 is what's known as a Phase Distortion synthesizer. This form of waveshaping synthesis has its roots in Casio’s brilliant CZ line of digital synthesizers from the 80s. It is designed to have the warmth of a subtractive (analog) synthesizer, yet be capable of the squelchy tones and sharp attacks of an FM synth. Phase84 in particular can create warm pads, glitchy sounds, dirty basses, filthy sweeps, screaming leads, and anything in-between.
For those familiar with the typical Moog-like (or iMini-like!) synthesis, think of the "shaper" as being synonymous with "brightness" or "filter cutoff”.

Phase84
Yeat another Retronyms update that falls short of good got me al excited for nothing The demo presets are almost all the same from each other it is more stable! But none of the Retronyms apps are any good except for Tabletop IMO and that hasn’t been updated for almost going on a decade I used to really enjoy using Tabletop bought all the plugins as they came out. Can’t remember the last time any of them worked together. It even had or has some Arturia Synths that were awesome and they are completely unfunctional Can’t Believe Arturia used to Colaborate with Retronyms I can definitely why that’s not a thing anymore. If you are serious about music production on iOS look elsewhere don’t waste your time and hard earned money on any of their apps like I did. Use AudioKit instead
