Mersenne is a synthesizer that combines two FM synthesis modules with a noise generator and resonator to create a bell sound. With simple operations, you can create bell sounds with complex attack sounds that are difficult to create with FM synths. # Note - This product is compatible with iPads and iPhones, but not compatible with Apple Silicon Macs. - This product mainly contains basic presets that are useful as a starting point for sound creation. Please note that there are no huge amount of presets. Enjoy making sounds. # Synthesizer Engine - Tone A/B: FM Synthesis - Noise + Filter - Resonator - Chorus - Delay - Reverb # Programmable Arpeggiator You can easily create your own pattern. # Universal App It is compatible with iPad and iPhone and has multiple screen layouts optimized for different screen sizes. # Audio Unit Extensions (AUv3) You can use this AUv3 Plug-In in a host application that supports Audio Unit Extensions (AUv3). # Audiobus You can stream live audio directly to an Audiobus compatible application. See https://audiob.us for more information. # Ableton Link Link is a technology that keeps devices in time over a local network. See https://www.ableton.com/link/ for more information. # MIDI input - Core MIDI, Virtual MIDI, Inter-App Audio MIDI Input - MIDI clock synchronization - MIDI controller mapping # Preset sharing You can share your presets with other users. You can add presets created by other users to your preset library using the iOS Share Extension feature. # More information Introductory videos and manuals can be found on the website below. https://icegear.net

    Great sister synth to Laplace
    I return to this synthesizer app, regularly, because it does what music apps are supposed to do, a unique sound with a simple interface. Laplace is my favorite of the ice works apps, but this is a great companion/expansion to Laplace, especially for the billed use, tuned percussion. I do like Laplace better for strings and plucks and keys. This one is really fun to play with a drum pad midi controller (tuned to a scale, if you like) for marimba, and bell like sounds. Show more

    Great synth!
    One of my favorite iOS synths. Being able to import third party sounds, along with the included great sounds, really sets this apart from other iOS offerings. The best part of this synth, however, is how responsiveness of the developer! Bugs are squashed very quickly with timely updates. Must buy! Show more

    Bells, Gongs, & Tines, Oh My!
    With a powerful arpeggiator. Thank you for AUv3!

    Thanks for AU support!
    This is one of my most favorite iPad synths. When I saw Laplace get AU3 support, I was hopeful Mersenne would as well. Now that time's here and I just MIDI sequenced a quick track with it in GarageBand. The AU layout is good and scrolls smoothly to see everything. All of the effects parameters are exposed, too. I personally prefer AU to IAA or AudioBus. And I love Mersenne, so today's a great day. Thanks, IceGear! Show more

    Link has strange property
    Love all iceworks apps. I have all the recent Link-enabled ones and they are always the first ones I open during a session. For some reason, when the apps join the network they interrupt the tempo of the session first instead of looking at what the current tempo is first and changing to that. This can really jumble what would otherwise be a seamless and enjoyable experience. All the synths sound great and I love the arp and hold buttons. I also love that they have standard midi functionality. Show more

    Wonderful and unique
    I like how this FM+Resonator synth focuses on a particular sound. It sounds a lot like some of the instruments in a Gamelan ensemble. When combined with the arpeggiator and delay it's easy and fun to compose a sort of modern synthesized version of a Gamelan. That's mainly what I use it for, and because I have an affection for Gamelan music, this synth brings a smile to my face when working with it. Mersenne's MIDI implementation is excellent. The controls are very functional and easy to use. The two Tone generators, the Noise generator, Resonator, drive and delay, chorus and reverb are logically laid out and instantly useable. The arpeggiator is especially powerful, letting you design your own patterns for saving and recalling. The minimalistic elegance in Mersenne's design is apparent and well suited to the sounds this synth produces. The single-mindedness of Mersenne's sound is very much a plus in this case. Because Mersenne is so good at getting that Gamelan type sound, including different tuning systems, especially Far East tunings would be an excellent addition to this synth and would qualify it for a legitimate 5 star rating. I can manipulate the detuning, glide and other parameters to get a slightly faux eastern sound, but that's not the same as an authentic Gamelan tuning. Overall one of the best and most enjoyable synths of 2016. Show more

    great metallic sounds
    if you want to create beautiful metallic sounds and more, this is the app!
  • Rhcole, 10.07.2016
    Great Specialty FM Synth
    Mersenne is a percussion synth that is capable of much more than FM drum sounds. It can create capable chimes and bells, metallic sounds and even other more traditional synth sounds. All of the sounds tend to be a bit dirty and thin. The engine is quite similar to Laplace, their resonator synth with a different interface. They could have combined the two easily enough but I am satisfied owning each separately. Show more
