About this app

SynprezFM 2 is a programmable polyphonic synth with a multitouch dynamic keyboard, arpeggio, effects and 1024 built-in instrument patches. It uses Frequency Modulation, a lightweight method for generating complex harmonic waveforms by mixing or combining sine samples controlled by envelops and LFO. It is able to produce analog style pads, to emulate classic or modern instruments, or to invent new and awesome crystalline sounds.
SynprezFM 2 is also a Yamaha DX7 emulator, that can render with accuracy the sysex files you upload into an external storage directory setup by menu, in order to heighten the experience. You can also create and save your own patches, either by editing one of the (deliberately) unsorted builtin ones, or starting from scratch with the 'init voice' function.
It is possible to record WAV, to connect a MIDI keyboard (using a USB/OTG cable for Android Honeycomb 3.1+, or Bluetooth Low Energy for Android Jelly Bean 4.3+), and to take advantage of a small step sequencer. Even small devices can now leverage 2 synthesizers thanks to an optimized layout. To simplify the classic usage, complex functions are now only available in 'expert mode' (activatable in the setup page): this regards the patch editor and the new micro-tuning feature.
While you play, you can trigger an after-touch vibrato effect by dragging your fingers on the active keys or shift the keyboard to different octaves. Other performance parameters can be accessed above the keyboard, including 2 types of portamento, a sensitivity range for pitch or volume modulations, and some effects that give a sense of depth when using a headset, especially on plucked sounds. You can also adjust the polyphony to adapt to your device capabilities. Thanks to an optimized core, you can hear up to 16 channels playing together, even on mid-range devices.

[Thank you Caroline, for kindly correcting my english :) ]

BUG FIXES:
- fix countless annoying bugs
- pseudo compressor to enable louder sound
- MIDI support based on Android libraries to address more MIDI controllers
- storage access rewritten to solve first time access problems (and support Android 11+)
- pitch discrepancy on recording (48K vs 44.1K) fixed

EVOLUTIONS:
- wireless Bluetooth MIDI support
- "MIDI slave" support
- support for multiple MIDI keyboards
- finer volume and balance scale, wired on MIDI
- "Scoped Media" storage mode, mandatory for Android 11
- peak indicator on VU-meters
- drop down menus with pseudo LCD
- output volume operating after the FX processor
- description of the device capabilities in the configuration page
- better MIDI traces to diagnose problems

This app is truly amazing and the sound is outstanding. I find the UI usable enough to use the synth confortable and thinker with the operators. My only problem is that my Arduino Due powered keyboard (native usb midi) does't work in my Samsung A8 with Android 9 (it works with other apps). All in all a great Synth! Thanks!! Update 24/sep/2021. The arduino due works after all. Amazing sounds!

hi, on the last revision (2.3.3) I did quite a refactoring around MIDI to support the Android libraries and the BTLE MIDI, so I hope it fixes your problems. Drop me a line to tell me if you keyboard is recognized now

I was looking for a simple keyboard app to work some harmonies out and found this (I knew searching synthesizer was a good idea). How refreshing to find an app that isn't cluttered with adverts! And it works great, clearly there's some depth I will have to uncover but straight away I can do what I need. I can't see if there's a way to tip/donate the developer, I certainly would if I could and will keep looking

Is there a 10 star option? This is a fantastic keyboard app! The sounds are great (and I've only got through 4 of the 32 banks), the layout is perfect and it lets you get into the nitty gritty if you want. It recognises my axiom air mini and lets me control pitch bend, modulation and portamento from it. More midi options would be welcome, but I really can't complain. Well done to the developers!

thanks for this positive feedback! And next version will have a MIDI-learn feature so you will be able to wire any controller's button to any parameters. BTW this is a one person's project, so I take all your compliments for me, myself and I ;)
