SynthStation25 has been generating a lot of buzz among musicians and app developers. Meet three new, fun and creative apps recently created by SynthStation25 enthusiasts: Fairlight, Kinetic and Sinusoid. The Fairlight app brings to SynthStation25 the classic Fairlight synthesizer, used by legends like Peter Gabriel, Michael Jackson, U2 and Herbie Hancock. / Picture the inside of a maraca, only when the beads hit the wall they sound different notes and you have control over them. This one-of-a-kind app is called Kinetic and it will get your music in motion. / With Sinusoid, simplicity has never sounded so good. Inspired by retro gaming, Sinusoid is a 4-channel, 8-bit tracker/sequencer app that gives you the ability to make fun, vintage tracks.
