![]() ![]() One of the first things I want to point out is. Once I did that, I quickly purchased the full version. Modifying presets, making my own, and saving them to my own folder is fun, not frustrating for meĭon't forget to try the free version, TC-Performer (presets only), to get an idea of what it is capable of. The more I play with it, the better I like it. He uses common synth terminology, and easy graphics, so no cryptic stuff to remember.Īnd you can easily Google any terms you are not familiar with, to get more in depth descriptions.Īs a long time synth guy, with lots of hardware and iOS synths, I think this is the best non keyboard oriented, synth in my collection. If you are already familiar with synth basics, you will have no problem with it. The graphical layout of the synth engine, and how it presents the options to you, are very logical, and easy to get the hang of. Repeat this a few times, while experimenting with it, and you will be a pro in no time. When I was ready to go past just playing the presets, I found it useful to have the manual open on one device, while having TC-11 running on another, so I could read a section of the manual, and poke at TC-11, at the same time.Īs with any powerful synth engine, it takes a little while for it all to sink in, but with a little patience, and practice (modifying presets, and working with the provided templates), it starts to make sense.Īnother trick I use for absorbing new information, is to read all the way through a manual, without trying to understand it.Ĭome back to it a day later, and then try to get a better handle on the details. You can look at or download the manual here TC-11 Manual The manual is well written, and describes all the parts of the synth in detail, with good graphics. TC-11 is very easy to use (one of the easiest) if you only play with the presets. If you want to try a free version, before buying the full version, check out TC-Performer. Playing it on my iPad Pro 12.9" is crazy cool too.īest of all is having it loaded on all three of my i devices, iPad Air 1st gen, iPad Pro 2nd gen, and iPod Touch 5th gen, and having a jam session.īecause it's so portable, I can play at home through my PA speakers, walking around, or on a park bench with the built in speakers, Bluetooth speakers, or headphones. Like no synth experience I've ever had before. The best I have seen on iOS devices, and nothing like synths that try to imitate traditional hardware synths.Ĭlick on the link to download the owners manual.īecause you don't have to look at it, to play it, I found myself walking through the woods with my iPod touch and headphones, creating lush soundscapes, with one or two hands. ![]() The synth engine is designed from the ground up, to take full advantage of the iPad's Multitouch and motion sensing. Once again, my mind was blown by how it works, and what is possible with it. I like the large number of well made presets so much, it took me a while before I read the owners manual, to see how it works, and learn more about the interface., and the synth engine behind it. Multitouch, one or more fingers on the iPad, how fast you move your finger(s) across the surface, the distance from the previous touch, where you touch, which direction you slide your finger(s), how much area of finger you put down, motion of the iPad, and so much more, is used to modulate different aspects of the sound. ![]() The important thing to know, is how you can change (modulate) those sounds while you are playing them, and how the patches take great advantage of the many ways to do that, using all the potential of the iPad/iPod/iPhone. The presets cover a very wide range of sound types, from Buchla, and Serge type sounds, to lush pads, percussive sounds, evolving sounds, sequences, arpeggiations, traditional VA synth sounds, west coast to east coast, and everything in between. Here is a link to the developers web site. I have had it for a few months, and the more I play with it the better I like it. Nothing comes close, and in fact it is in a class by itself. TC-11 is by far my favorite synth app on iOS, and I have a lot of em. ![]()
