Description: SynthVR is the synth nerd’s sci-fi fantasy: A modular synthesizer environment built from the ground up for virtual reality. Based on the Eurorack standard and reimagined for VR, SynthVR offers an exciting and accessible path into the world of modular synth music. It comes packed with studio-quality synth modules including oscillators, sequencers, effects, logic and more. If you built something cool you can share it in a heartbeat and if you’re looking for inspiration you can surf amazing community patches at random.
Review: There are a few good virtual synthesizer apps out there now, but SynthVR does bring a lot to the table. It’s easy to use, it has plenty of modules to play around with and most the elements you would expect from a high-end synthesizer like a master clock, oscillator elements and a sequencer. While I do wish there were better tutorials and step-by-step guide for us noobs to follow what there is should keep music fans happy for a while. I sadly can’t say it is worth the full £19.49 asking price, but to the right person, I am sure they will get their money’s worth. That person wasn’t me and I wish it was about half price or less.
