VirSyn has previously brought us the Tera and miniTera synths on desktop platforms, and now it's released microTera for the iPad.
Featuring a waveshaping synthesis engine, this promises to produce a wide variety of sounds of the sort that can't be reproduced by other instruments. As well as providing a range of editing options, an arpeggiator and effects, microTera also has a randomise function that enables you to come up with new patches simply by rolling the dice.
You'll find more details below. microTera is available now on the Apple App Store priced at £6.99/$9.99.
