## Description

Xynthesizr is a streamlined 32-step matrix sequencer and mono synth with generative features and MIDI. It supports real-time pattern editing and morphing, plus MIDI output to synths, DAWs, and devices, as well as Ableton Link, Audiobus 3, and Inter-App Audio. With 40+ presets and easy save/import/export of patterns, it’s a flexible tool for live performance and studio work.

Generative features include Conway’s Life-like cellular automata and probability-based pattern morphing, with area-limited morphing, tempo flexibility, and real-time transposition within chosen scales. The built-in synth offers two anti-aliased oscillators, multiple waveforms, a resonant 24 dB/oct filter, two ADSR envelopes, and dual LFOs for routing to multiple targets. You can record, export audio, and map notes to MIDI channels for multi-app setups.

## Review summary

Xynthesizr is lauded as a deep, flexible sequencer with generative capabilities, extensive MIDI routing, and a solid built-in synth. Users praise its intuitive workflow and cross-device usability, plus Ableton Link integration. The main recurring drawbacks are the absence of AUv3 support and tempo precision problems with decimal BPMs.

### Pros

- Deep, feature-rich sequencer with powerful generative options (randomization, Conway's Life) for inspiration
- 32-step sequencing with support for odd time signatures (like 9/8) and adjustable sequence length
- Flexible MIDI routing to multiple outputs/channels, enabling control of external synths and multiple MIDI destinations
- Solid built-in synth engine and the option to use the app as a MIDI controller
- Easy-to-use, fast workflow across iPhone and iPad with strong Ableton Link and cross-app integration

### Cons

- No AUv3 compatibility yet, a commonly requested feature across reviews
- Tempo/fine-tuning precision issues with decimal BPMs (e.g., decimal BPM not adjusting cleanly; decimal tempo like 119.8)
