FRMS is a versatile hybrid synthesizer that combines Granular, FM, Subtractive and Additive synthesis using a flexible layering system. FRMS takes the interesting and exciting world of granular synthesis and gives it a musical edge by mixing it with FM synthesis to produce a wide variety of possible timbres, with a sleek and modern interface. From heavily-dense ambient drones, to glitchy mechanical beings, turn simple sounds into complex evolving soundscapes, with up to four layers of synthesis in any combination. Attention: FRMS is available as a stand-alone app and AUv3 plugin only. No IAA audio support available. FRMS is a CPU intensive app, therefore some devices with lower hardware specifications might not be able to play 4 simultaneous voices, resulting in possible audio glitches. The density of grains is the most significant aspect regarding performance. A 2nd gen iPad Pro is able to play all of the bundled presets with 4 voices. Features: - 4 synth engines, 4 layers per voice - Granular, FM, Additive, Subtractive - 8 FM modes, layers as operators - Granulate Samples or Live Audio - Up to 20 grains per layer - 1 modulation matrix per layer - 2 EG’s per layer - 1 filter per layer and a master filter - 4 voices polyphony - 4 LFO’s with 5 modes - Arpeggiator with 5 modes - Delay and Reverb FX as layer send - High Quality Sample Bank - Built-in Audio Recorder - MPE Compatible - Ableton Link Start with FRMS built-in library of samples, load your own, or even granulate live audio. Stack up to 4 layers of synthesis, with independent envelopes and modulation to create unique sounds with movement. FRMS includes Imaginando’s Cloud Sync functionality (requires Imaginando account) so you can store and share your creations across devices with ease. Capture sounds wherever you are, then refine them in your studio, keep your creativity with you, wherever you go.

    ABSTRACT ART
    Beautiful abstract synth for those powerfully weird soundscapes that other synthesizers and musicians don’t make.

    This is what I’d create for myself!
    I like, no, I ‘have’ to say it and I NEVER say ‘it’…Love FRMS. If I were creating a sound designer’s dream for myself? FRMS would be what I would come up with. I have every worthwhile synth app on the App Store, like Poison to the Model 15. But for Soundscapes, Ambient and Drone music, in my opinion, FRMS is the best. It is almost impossible to not make incredible sounds. Almost every and any change is interesting and save-able. Show more

    Deep and awesome
    Don’t listen to the negatives, especially the religious weirdos with no actual critique. This thing is a tweaker’s dream, with a slick and intuitive UI, and is useful for many genres. At this price, it’s a no-brainer. Show more

    Unique and amazing sounds
    I can’t speak much to the technical aspects of sound design, but I know what I like when I fiddle with controls or just go with an existing preset. The presets are brilliant, and this synth is very fertile ground for the imagination. Show more

    Extraordinary
    I love this synth! From beautiful instrumental sounds to timbres that reach the edges of the galaxy. It’s sound designer’s playground.
  • The Altered Natives, 26.10.2022
    Amongst the best
    I certainly believe that this granular synth is amongst the best available apps to date!
  • EduardoG2, 26.08.2022
    Heavy but great
    Awesome granular and FM synth, great sounds, their usual interface goodness, and inspiring premium libraries. A bit on the heavy CPU side, but that just means I need a new iPad ? Show more

    No Bluetooth
    If they added Bluetooth to this and DRC it would be part of this decade. I can’t get midimittr on my android phone but I do have WIDI and WIDI Uhost. Neither FRMS or DRC sees WIDI In the MIDI page. Why not. Show more

    Whoa
    This is the most useful 3Dollar Synth app I’ve ever found everything on here sounds so good and I’m just talking about the presets can’t wait to delve deeper
