The latest episode of Tim Webb’s ‘Let’s Play With….’ video series takes a look at iceGear’s new software synth, Laplace.
Laplace is a physical-modeling synthesizer, based on resonator synthesis, that makes it easy to create bowed string, plucked string, blown pipe and metallic sounds.
Laplace is available in the App Store for US $4.99.

I’ve been messing with it for about a week now. It’s a synth with a unique set of fllavors and the UI is relatively easy to figure out. What is a little unexpected is that things that you do to the click & noise section can have surprisingly dramatic impact on the resonator and overall sound.
It’s an enjoyable and synth to work with, capable of producing a wide variety of interesting and musical tones, from simple to quite complex. I wish more parameters could respond to velocity, and I wish it had a mod matrix.
On my iPad 4 running iOS 7.1.2 it is a pretty crashy. Thankfully, when it crashes, it just goes silent, so I can save my work, restart the app and be back up & running. I expect that the developer will get all that dialed in.Cassini has remained pretty good with updates and is stable.
Do you have many background processes running? Because i also run it on an iPad 4 with iOS 7.1.2 and it never crashed here…
No other processes running at the same time. Just running the arp within the app. At some point it makes a very cool sound as it craps out. Then the sound goes dead but the interface is still responsive. (Similar to Stroke Machine on my rig– although SM doesn’t make a great dying sound.)
Odd. I will play around with it tonight and see what happens when i push its limits.
I think it needs more reverb.
