Gospel Musicians has announced the release of Neo-Soul Keys for iPad, a virtual electric piano app.

Neo-Soul Keys for iPad is specifically designed for professional gigging or live studio work. Gospel Musician’s goal was to build a professional app that could compete with any hardware synth and/or desktop audio electric piano solution.

Gospel Musicians is one of the first app developers to feature flash memory streaming using Apple CAF lossless format. Gospel Musicians worked directly with Apple’s engineers to refine this new custom feature in the iOS, which allows for larger samples to be streamed via the on-board flash memory.

Not having to rely solely on a limited amount system RAM resources allows for a more rich and expressive sample playback experience, which almost equals the experience of their desktop predecessor versions. In fact, all but the extended effects are featured in the iPad version. All mechanical effects, Spring Reverb, Chorus, and Vibrato are present.

VirSyn has released version 2.1 of the Addictive Synth app for iPad, introducing Audiobus and FM.

The unique dynamic wavetable synthesis allows you to explore an unprecedented wide range of sonic territory. From acid loops, crystal clear percussions, realistic human choirs to complex musical sound scapes nothing seems impossible with only a handful parameters to tweak.

The new FM Oscillator mode integrates smoothly into Addictive’s concept of pushing the limits of creative sound exploration even further without adding unnecessary complexity for the sound designer.

The spectral noise generator adds a new dimension to the already huge sound universe of Addictive Synth. This generator is the first of its kind and allows for extraordinarily detailed control over the dynamic spectrum of the noisy part of sounds. Despite its complexity it’s pretty easy to use and integrates naturally into the sound design philosophy of Addictive Synth.

With the integration of a hi end reverb we closed the last gap to get fully addicted.

Changes in Addictive Synth v2.1

• Audiobus support (Sender App).
• New FM Oscillator configuration.
• MIDI Clock Sync.
• 32 new FM sound presets.
• Oscillator phase sync.
