Shredder Guitar Synth for ios

It was only a matter of time until somebody made a stab at a guitar synth for ios.  Enter
Yonac Software’s Shredder synth for guitar.
The first thing that makes this cool is the fact that it does not use samples but FM/Subtractive  synthesis to create tones from “scratch”.

The second plus is that it works from you magnetic guitar pick ups and not some special pick up that you have to attach to your guitar.  To help the tracking along, you can dial in the sweet spot on your guitar with the Input Sensitivity and Decay Threshold sliders.   It is however, monophonic but let’s cut it some slack for only being $14.99.  Besides, some of the greatest analog synths ever made were monophonic as well.  

This thing speaks midi!  Ins and outs.  You can control the parameters with an external midi device or control a virtual or hardware synth with your guitar.  Hmm...Guitar +Shredder+ Dave Smith Mopho= Analog guitar synth on the cheap!  

Although it’s monophonic, each note can be assigned chords to each note that can be changed on the fly using the Chordmaker feature.  You can even send this data to external synths.  

It even comes with virtual stompboxes to warp your sound even more.
You can also mix your “normal” guitar signal with Shredder to create huge, complex tones.  
Also included is a “Hold” feature that will sustain a note or chord that you can then play over similar to Electroharmonix Freeze pedal.
