AudioKit Pro has launched an update to its app inspired by a classic virtual analog synthesizer. A major upgrade, version 2 of Viral Synth brings new oscillators, new filters, microtonality, world scales, and a long list of improvements.
Introducing our most powerful digital synth yet. VIRAL Synth T2x takes inspiration from the legendary Virus TI2*, but it’s not an emulator, it’s a bold re-imagining. Built from the ground up, it combines 48+ classic waveforms with a modern engine that delivers massive power, depth, and flexibility.
Changes in Viral Synth 2
- 2x Oversampled Oscillators: Saw, Sine, Triangle, Square, and PWM oscillators are now 2x oversampled for bigger lows, cleaner highs, and a more polished sound.
- Two Modern VA Filters: Introducing T-12 and T-24: two new modern virtual analog filters with smooth self-resonance.
- Snappier Filter Envelopes & Improved Filter Key-tracking: The new T-12 and T-24 filters respond with tighter, punchier envelopes. Turn up the Filter Mod amount to really hear them move.
- Microtonality: Explore new sonic territory with 150+ curated microtonal scales, including North Indian scales, Hexanies, and scales by Irv Wilson, Marcus Hobbs, and more. Import Scala .scl tuning files and bring your own custom scales into the app.
- World Scales: Explore 60+ international scales with selectable root keys. Choose from Arabic, Egyptian, Eastern, and other world scales, then pick the base key that fits your song.
- Western Key + Scale Support: Choose a key like C minor, Bb, F minor, and more. Select from Major, Minor, Blues, Pentatonic, and other familiar scales. Keep your arps, sequences, and external MIDI locked to a Western or World scale, or go fully microtonal.
A free upgrade for existing users, version 2 of the synth is fully backward compatible with existing presets and sessions.
Viral Synth 2 is available to purchase for the launch price of $4.99 USD in the App Store for a limited time (regular $19.99 USD). The purchase includes all presets and full lifetime license for both iPhone and iPad.
