Description:

The visual interface of Photophore may initially captivate users, but its ability to produce a broad array of unique sounds will certainly encourage repeated use. Featured in FACT Magazine's The Ten Best Synths for iPad, Photophore is a distinctive instrument that utilizes flocks of up to 100 sound generators to generate intricate and organic synthesizer tones.
Setting it apart from other digital synthesizers, Photophore achieves warmth and character through a novel approach. Instead of replicating analog circuits, it models animal behavior to create its distinctive sounds. The innovative sound engine of Photophore consists of oscillators that move within a virtual three-dimensional environment, guided by a specialized behavioral algorithm and physics simulation. This system maintains oscillator coherence while allowing for natural drifting and detuning, resulting in rich timbres ideal for crafting diverse sounds like massive bass tones, complex pads, and vibrant leads.
Users can interact with the oscillator flocks by adjusting their behavior - controlling their tendency to flock together, their avoidance of each other, speed, and the turbulence in their environment. By simply swiping across the screen, oscillators respond dynamically to create extreme pitch modulation and chaotic effects.

What Reviewers say:
<ul>
	<li>"The sounds in Photophore are big. There is a surprising range, as well. My first impression was that it was going to be very ambient-based, but you can get gritty and dirty here as well. From the beautifully minimal look to the impressive sounds, Photophore is a winner." - iOS Mars | iosmars.com</li>
	<li>"There is a lot to like about Photophore. The synth engine is clearly ‘different’ from anything else out there but it is presented in away that is both accessible and visually appealing. In terms of both features and sound, Photophore punches well above its price point." - Music App Blog | musicappblog.com</li>
