Description

Mersenne is an AUv3-compatible synthesizer that combines two FM synthesis modules, a noise generator, and a resonator to create bell-like sounds. # Synthesizer Engine The two FM synth engines are optimized to reproduce the sound of bells. The "BODY" section is optimized to create the base sound, and the " ATTACK" section is optimized to create the sound at the moment of impact. # Universal App This product is compatible with iPad, iPhone, and Apple Silicon Mac. Please note that it is not compatible with Macs with Intel CPUs. # Audio Unit Extensions (AUv3) This product supports only AUv3 plug-in format. You can use this AUv3 Plug-In in a host application that supports AUv3. # Notes - Note that depending on the parameter settings, loud sound may be produced. - This product can be installed on iPad, iPhone, and Mac computers with Apple silicon (M1, M2). It is an iPad and iPhone app that can run on Mac computers with Apple silicon. It cannot be installed on Mac computers with Intel CPUs. - This product supports only AUv3 plug-in format. Other plug-in formats are not supported. It can be used with AUv3-compatible DAWs. - This product is not suitable for the purpose of accurately reproducing the sound of acoustic instruments or other synthesizers.

    Many people be out here “taking iPad music seriously” since Logic came out but this baby has been around for a while and half the synths on PC and Mac couldn’t hold a 1 minute staring contest against Mersenne. This guy is “Magnifico” 🙏🏼. Iceworks forever!

  • Love it

    Lots of good percussive sounds coming out of this one and a lot more! Get it now!

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • great metallic sounds

    if you want to create beautiful metallic sounds and more, this is the app!

  • 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.
