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

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

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

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

I love this synth! From beautiful instrumental sounds to timbres that reach the edges of the galaxy. It’s sound designer’s playground.

I certainly believe that this granular synth is amongst the best available apps to date!

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

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

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

I am happy to amend my previous 3-star review. The Dev added the wave file import feature that this Ap was begging for. My only other problem was a couple features that were not working (chorder and hold functions). The rapid response from the Dev. was that answered the problem being related to MPE being enabled. Turn that off in "preferences" and ...bingo, problem solved. Based on the rapid response from the Dev. I have no doubt that this will be fixed soon enough. Even without those features, this Ap is breaking new ground. Combining FM with Granular and subtractive synthesis is a great idea that has been too long in coming. The only thing I can think of that it really needs now is a good manual. The current on-line manual does a good job of describing features but tells us little about how to use them. But this problem only applies to the less obvious functions, as most of the Ap will be self-explanatory to those who are already familiar with subtractive, FM and granular synthesis. I would lobby for future development to include a non-chromatic keypad-style keyboard which will allow users to create or select fixed scales and modal scales. After that, it will be hard to add anything to this great synthesizer Ap. Show more

The app is nice the new expansion packs are interesting and usable. The dev is responsive and active so this app can only get better in my opinion.

You can sample your own sounds as well as use the amazing presets . This is the best granular synth on iOS get it

This synth is amazing for providing textures to a piece of music! It almost sounds as it’s a living thing. Truly unique in what it offers and very cinematic as well as atmospheric. It will take you to a new world! Show more

This thing slays. Don’t be intimidated by it, ignore the nitpicking reviews, and don’t let thoughts ruin the experience. Dive right in and enjoy the ride. First timers or wise sages this synth has reward. If you enjoy messing with sound or mastering frequency or whatever the deal you got going on….. this synth is fun, adventurous, and just sexy. This app tech has been a gift, it’s cheap, capable, and with all the criticism and nitpicking reviews most developers really develop the heck out of them. Good times. So yeah, I dig it, I bet cash money you may as well(cash money is metaphorical but creating cool audio is not with this bad boy on your pad). The glitch’s from the heart pack sold separately is particularly cool to me because I dig making Autechre/skinny puppy type tracks and taking the presets and tweaking them about gives me great foundation for otherworldly IDM/glitch/hip hop tunes. Very cool. Show more

Wanna explain why your junk won’t update before I uninstall it and ask for a refund?

Wish I’d known this before purchasing but this app will not import samples over 2M. Unfortunately that means most of my original samples. No problem doing that with the several other granular synth apps I use. Otherwise the presets are excellent and the UI is easy to grasp yet deep in possibilities. Show more

Love the dark screen. Phenomenal noises. Very inspiring.

Good app just crashing in GarageBand, UPDATE IT FIX IT KEEPS CRASHING AND AUDIO CRACKLES IN GARAGEBAND, MAINLY WHEN THERES A LOT OF CHORDS PLAYING

Joining a granular sampler to a FM synth was a genius idea. I’m able to create epic tracks with minimal fuss. Hugely recommended.

Just buy it.
