    App info is currently processing and/or the app is not yet fully available for sale on the US App Store.


    Steinberg product website with some impressive videos and demo tracks.

    Not a special sale exactly because it seems to be permanently free. The good news: It's a VST in an iOS wrapper! A show-off for the new Steinberg SDK (supporting Apple's Inter-App Audio interface). Recommended! (Could be Retina, anyway.) Expect more standalone-VSTs in future!

    Wikipedia: Steinberg, VST (Virtual Studio Technology)

    Hint from a specialized forum (I've tested this and it works indeed):

    Btw Cubasis by Steinberg got an IAA update. Audiobus, Audioshare and Cubasis are separate Apps available in the iOS App Store.

    Wish I could! This looks sick, though. Thanks for sharing Habakuk!

    It's hard enough controlling most synths on a mini without external hardware.

    Heck-even my Midi controllers are too tiny to control my synthesizers :(.

    I always thought you had a bigger iPad, cause you always seemed to have iPad apps even before the mini came out.

    I think ahead...oh yeah, I also used to botrow an ex's ipad and surruptiously install stuff on the last page ;)

    I need more storage space though...I have Cubasis,Auria,Beat Master 2,Looptical, etc...not enough room!

    I don't even know what I have :( From Animoog to Zinthesizr ;)

    Tried it out and love it. Great synthesizer with great presets and so many options. I just need to figure out how to use it with garage band.

    I like it, some presets are pretty good. Polyphony would be great, but for free, it sounds great. And it's IAA compatible, i'll be able to use it with beatmaker 2.

    Why is this important that it is a VST? Does it mean steinberg could bring other synths? I know what a VST is, i use a lot of them with ableton, i know auria is supposed to be able to use them, but i'm a bit confused and don't understand the difference between a "normal" synth and this one.

    So does this mean that popular VST's can now be wrapped and made into an app for ios? NI Massive on ios soon?! Would be fun to play with ;P

    And ahh gotcha, Greyskull.

    The new VST SDK from Steinberg can pop out iOS compatible IAA synths/effects alongside the regular VSTs. It'll either open up a flood wave of new synths/effect units on iOS that aren't optimized for iOS (and touchscreens, Greyskulls picture of Thesys above is a good example of that). Or more hopefully it'll make companies develop their VST plugs planning the interface etc a bit more carefully in regards to the ability that they actually can just spit out an iOS compiled synth/effect alongside their VST (which = extra revenue for devs/companies).

    Blah hope that made sence..

    Made perfect sense...And thanks for the information. Without doing much (really any ;) ) research, I had thought this new tech was just a way to create ios VSTs that would communicate more natively (awkward phrasing) with Cubasis on PC/Mac. Maybe through Cubasis IC Pro (if I'm remembering the name correctly). I didn't know it was a new SDK that could be compared to,say, Adobe Air. Hopefully we won't need to start carrying around USB keyfobs ;).
