A modular synth for your iPhone?

 

Jasuto Screen Shot

As most of you undoubtedly have seen already, there’s an interesting new synth-builder-sort-of-modular-app called Jasuto out on the App Store. The interesting thing about Jasuto is that it manage to use the 2-dimensional screen space to carry more context than just the usual mess of virtual patch cables – size and proximity of  sound and control objects are relevant for the overall result, and it is presented in a clear and understandable way.

 

Well, almost understandable. After downloading it to my iPod Touch I was dumbfounded for a while, until I looked at the tutorial videos which suddenly made it all clear to me. Sometimes, moving images say more than a thousand explanations. To me, at least.
