Description
Synthesizer
WoodSynth is a synthesizer with 4 independent layers. Each layer is in fact a synthesizer on its own.
Each layer has 3 VCO’s plus a samples or wavetable based source, coming from a file or from recording the audio track.
Up to 16 voices can be set per layer.
Layers can be used in parallel, assigned to a region of the keyboard or used in a sequential mode where the first note(s) on are played by layer 1 and the next note(s) by layer 2 and so on.
This last mode allows to have a different sound per note played (and independent from a keyboard region).
WoodSynth has a polyphonic pitch-bending touch bar which also displays notes received from a keyboard.
Each layer has its own filter and envelope with ADSR per voice, a pitch shifting envelope per VCO, a delay, a basic reverb, a modulator LFO per VCO, 2 general LFO’s and a 16 steps sequencer. 
Key tracking can be applied on the ADSR attack and release, on the filter cutoff and on the VCO modulation.


The app can be used stand-alone (device audio input and output) or as a plugin in a DAW.


- IOS plugin type : AUv3 and stand-alone app.

- Has 4 independent synthesizers, each with up to 16 voices.

- Supports MPE and Midi V2.
- Has a polyphonic touch bar with polyphonic pitch bending.

- Velocity, channel pressure, (polyphonic) aftertouch, CC74 can be used to modulate several synth parameters.

- VCO’s have the usual waveforms (sine, saw, square, triangle, pulse and noise) and can be modulated in various ways (FM, AM, Pulse Width, Slew rate)

- Samples can be recorded from the audio input/track or loaded from file (sample files should be in the WoodSynth iCloud folder)

- Wavetables can be loaded from file or converted from loaded or recorded samples.

- Each voice has a 4-pole Moog Lowpass filter with resonance and ADSR envelope.

- An offset can be set in the Filter cutoff for the R channel to create a stereo effect.

- Each voice has a pitch shifting ADSR envelope which can be independently enabled for each VCO.

- Has Key tracking for VCO pan, Filter cutoff, ADSR Envelope Attack and Release.

- Each layer has a delay unit (which can be separately panned) and a basic reverb.

- Each layer has a 16 steps sequencer which can run on multiple voices (poly mode).

- Each layer can set the midi channel and range of receiving midi notes (which allows for up to 4 split keyboard regions).

- Layers can be set in sequential mode : first note(s) played on layer1, next note(s) on layer2, etc.
- Layers have an additional high-pass filter saturation and crush control.

- Synth audio and delay can be panned independently.

- The 2 general LFO’s can have their source from the samples or wavetables (or track input).

- Supports Ableton Link to sync tempo and start-stop.

- Has 4 User Control rotaries which can be freely assigned.

- The User Controls can be controlled by a midi CC which can be set or learned.

Lots of possibility

One can get into all sorts of mischief with this instrument. The continued development work on the synth convinced me to buy a bundle of Wood tools. That kind of effort deserves support, particularly when the results sound as good as this synthesizer does.

One of the best synths on IOS

This really is a lovely synth, you can tell the developer cares about their work. It is constantly being improved and new features are a regular event lately. To me it sounds a step above the rest.

Presets still don’t show up

Such a great idea yet makes loading presets unnecessarily complicated, if unusable

Presets don’t load properly

The preset browser is pretty non-functional. Instead of showing a list, you have to open up folders in your files to load presets manually. There appears to be an egregiously overlooked update not being addressed. I’ve written to developer but have yet to receive any response.

Wanted it to be amazing but meh

Confusing to use . needs to be more immediate to get get reults. Decent sounding just headscratching to use

Update broke the best synth app

After latest update, the presets no longer work on iPad Pro 11” fully updated

Somewhat Obtuse To Use

Lots of features but not so sure that they work well together. I find the UI a little obtuse to use. I do like the buttons at the bottom to open the various modules. Factory preset button has taken, on the average, about 6 touches before it works, and just now, 16 touches to open it (to pull of the factory preset list). Missing manual note hold ability, hamstringing Ambient music makers. Not very impressed so far but it does have a decent manual. I don't really care for the synth's overall sound so far. Sounds like a toy to make Mario Brother's music with. I'm starting to regret this purchase. I should have looked for some iOS reviewer videos first. I'll keep trying but my enthusiasm has already died. That's not good.
