one of cool things is filter routing - on most synths with dual filter you just set filter routing to either serial or parallel and then all oscillators are just mixed together and feeded into filter - here in Butter EVERY oscillator can use different filters routing !!
Also love fact that every oscillator (except of FM and noise) has OWN unison module and also unison phase amount knob - very crucial to unison character and very often forgotten by devs - it has profound impact to unidon character
Another fanrastic thing is that you set every oscillator skip FX section.
Or - in WT oscillstor “FMX” modulation is perfect recrestion of famous Nord Lead 2 oscillators fm modulation - absolutely love it.
There is lot of such details which i think are a bit hidden under the hood but they makes this synth very unique.
OK that in itself gives me an itch to scratch! (Psy fan back in the day…)
yeah, that's it .. instant psytrance leads
Thank you for that insta-reply!!
All great points. The reasons you listed are reasons I love it purely because of how customizable it is. It feels like anything is possible and it basically is 😂 definitely a great synth. Happy to have been a part of the beta.
Looks and sounds pretty cool. Will watch out for this one. Thanks for posting the video.
For those who have tested this, is it relatively light or heavy on CPU? It looks like it can do a lot of the stuff I use Sytnhmaster 1 and 2 for, but those synths are a bit too heavy for me to run multiple instances of
It depends. You can overload your CPU very easily by using every osc and FX + 4x oversample in every osc with multiple instances. It's true that ButterSynth requires newer iPad if you want to use multiple instances and all the features but you can easily make simpler patches with an older device too
I opened 4 sessions of Buttersynth in AUM, played them all 4 on the same time. CPU jumping between 35% and 78%. (iPad Pro 12.9 M1 8GB ram)
Thank you both for the input!
Is this Synth the Synth to replace all or most others?
It seems to...
honestly, every thinkable synth sound i find on youtube (synth patches tutorials on YT are mostly done in Serum or Vital, which are like benchmark of advanced sound design techniques), i can reproduce more or less in Butter .. this never happened to be before with any iOS synth …
.
Fully agree! Buttersynth is top level. I often use Serum in Ableton Live but Buttersynth can (almost) match it. I sequence it with my Oxi One, which is a great companion.
So it runs on macOS too?
And is included in the price?
The Testflight version works in MacOS. But if the final version will work, I don't know.
But if it will be iPadOS only, it is 100% worth the buy.
It’s definitely really rounded in terms of features, it feels like a more friendly/less utilitarian version of serum to me, a bit more guided in the paths of various synthesis methods, and a few that I sing think are in serum to boot…
I did not want to buy any more Synths at all.
Ever.
But it seems, this one will be bought 😅
Haha. 😆
Huzzah! This versatile uber-synth is almost ready for release in the wild!
But personally, I'm a little concerned about the well-being of the core beta team... 🤣
...one of them almost forgot his ABF login details!
I’m gonna be that outsider that waits to see what all the hype is about. It does look great & seems extremely powerful but will I actually use it???
You have been doing a great job!
It was fun contributing to the presets and even more fun to see them included in the beta! 😊
I mentioned being "cautiously optimistic" about Baby Audio's upcoming synth. Not so with Buttersynth as I preordered it. I've played around with Buttersynth beta since last year during my "Summer of Ambient 2022".
Same! Definitely gonna buy this one. Been on the beta for about a year as well and I really fell for this one.
I can't wait to see what new and exciting sound textures I'll produce with this! There's nothing quite like Buttersynth on iOS except for Buttersynth itself.
Perhaps a Breadsynth is next and then together with Buttersynth we will finally have 🙃
🤣🤣🤣
LOL! 😂
I saw someone mention it was 19.99 Euros the other day and when I looked on my PC it actually said US$29.99 so I thought I might have to wait on this one but I went back today and it was US$16.99 so I pre-ordered it!
Are more presets needed and if so is there still a way to get beta access before release?
I might be wrong about this but I think as it is already available for preorder on the app store, the initial release has already been approved and any new presets will only be able to make it into future updates.
