Theremax™ is a simple synthesizer for the iPad, inspired by the Theremin and a number of other electronic and non-electronic instruments.
This project started with on a number of ideas: first of all, what if you could see the sounds around you, and play along. Theremax™ has a frequency graph in the background; you can whistle a tune, and by touching the peaks on the screen, play the same tune. The second founding idea was using the touch surface on the iPad as a musical instrument; hardly an original idea, but we’ve worked to use the iPad in the ways it works best, rather than trying to emulate existing instruments. Finally, we wanted to create a variable precision musical instrument; if you want to see the whole range of the instrument, you can zoom all the way out. If you want to play a melody precisely, you can zoom way in.

More knobs…..
Following on from the iPad only app, comes this slightly cheaper, universal version.
Knobs mini is a monophonic synthesizer for the iPad, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4G. It is designed to look like vintage music gear with a new dimension added to the controls. You can play the gesture area while switching panels and adjusting knobs. I suggest trying to alter the LFO and LFA first to start creating an interesting sound. Swipe the recessed and knurled grey knob to flip between all the available knob panels.
The following control knobs are available to adjust your sound:
Attack
Sustain
Release
Decay
Low Frequency Oscillator Rate
Low Frequency Oscillato Amount
Cutoff
