Phase Monkey — Poly Synth

Digital synthesis made fun

Features & Capabilities

NEW REDUCED PRICE! ENJOY.

Phase Monkey is a polyphonic synthesizer inspired by the classic phase distortion synthesizers of the mid-1980s. However, instead of being a direct copy, Phase Monkey presents a fresh take on the classic sound engine, including the rare eight-stage envelopes. The result is a surprisingly versatile digital instrument that can produce anything from warm pads to shimmering leads to snarling basses.

Whatever you do, don’t have fun with it!

This synth is a breeze to use, which is important for both live performance and studio production.

Still, years later, this developer has demonstrated their inability to fix both the broken pitch-bend as well as the broken modulation control on at least the iPhone 12. The app slides instead of the sliders. I will no longer support incompetent developers any longer.

There aren’t a lot of Phase Distortions synths on IOS…. as of 2023 we only have Shockwave and the vintage yet still excellent Phase84. The newest one, known as Phase Monkey, may be the best of the three. The sound is excellent, no getting around it. If you’re a preset surfer, there aren’t a lot of built-in presets … but the ones there sound great. Now if you’re a sound designer like me, however, you’re gonna have a lot of fun with this little monkey. Creating patches is a breeze, and this fella is deep, yet set up in a way where it’s deceptively simple to use. Ooga Booga yourself to the ape store I mean AppStore and grab this synth posthaste… you’ll be glad you did
