Performance Synth is Clockwork Software's amazing synthesizer for the iPad.
Performance Synth can express an almost infinite variety of unique sounds
using its subtractive synthesis architecture. While Performance Synth
doesn't have every feature a stand alone synthesizer has, you have in your
hand an amazingly powerful tool in a portable, use anywhere format. As the
name implies, Performance Synth is meant to be played in real time.

If you are a guitar or bass player you can carry around a complete musical
synthesizer in your guitar case and use it where ever you need it. If you are
a keyboard player you can connect a MIDI keyboard to Performance Synth
and jam away.

NOTE: Support of MIDI is very basic in 1.2 but will be enhanced in future releases.

Watch for Performance Synth to become more powerful with each software release.

Performance Synth's architecture and capabilities are similar to that of a
Mini-Moog or a Roland Juno synthesizer. Many of the synthesizer sounds heard
in today's contemporary music and movies can be reproduced with Performance Synth.
Unlike old analog synthesizers, Performance Synth is implemented entirely in
software which means all timing is rock solid and Performance Synth will never,
ever go out of tune.

Performance Synth turns your iPad into a complex musical instrument
which will take time to completely master. In experienced hands,
Performance Synth is a serious musical instrument. For all users,
Performance Synth can be a source of wonder and delight with the
multitude of sounds and sonic textures it can create.

Performance Synth has the following features:

- Three voice polyphony
