Audio demos



A classic with a twist

Sunrizer is built upon a familiar subtractive synth design – but with a distinct character and a host of unique features. It starts with two oscillators and two sub-oscillators that deliver all of the basic waveforms and a perfect emulation of JP-8000 “supersaw”, with pulse width, frequency and ring modulation plus a lush unison mode. The oscillators are fed into two powerful filters with serial or parallel routing, offering traditional low-, high- and band-pass modes as well as comb, resonator, waveshaper, and frequency shifter algorithms – and more. To set all this in motion, Sunrizer has two ADSR envelopes and two LFO generators that can modulate virtually any parameter.
Master of effects

Sunrizer has a very flexible effects section which boasts an input crossover filter that lets you apply them only on a specific part of the spectrum. There is a total of four effect modules – the first includes silky-smooth chorus, phaser and rotor algorithms alongside distortion, followed by stereo delay, two-band equalizer and a spacious and highly tuneable reverb. Yet with all this power Sunrizer still keeps the processor load low, thanks to heavy code optimizations.
Powerfully live

Where the Sunrizer’s sound engine ends, the fun only starts. First off, each patch has two sets of parameters and the synth lets you morph between them – as smoothly or as wildly as you wish. Sunrizer also sports an arpeggiator that has fully programmable sequences and supports per-note transposition and randomization – together with chord memory it allows you to create elaborate yet finely controllable single- or multi-finger passages.
Polished simplicity

Despite such an extensive feature list, Sunrizer has a single-screen design with finely crafted graphics that especially look gorgeous on Retina screens. All of its building blocks are logically arranged and easily accessible, with each individual parameter carefully calibrated. This lets Sunrizer give you a mix of utter pleasure and great productivity that is lacking in most unnecessarily overcomplicated synths.

Thanks, new banks, gooooood!

 

this synth is the WORST roland jp80x0 emulation ever.
sounds are awful. really. the raytraced 3d interface won't save the whole package, for sure.

next to my jp8080, it's a toy. next to most jp software emulations, it's a toy.
even superwave synths, made with synthedit, sound FAR better, with ultra correct detuned saw waves
look at kvr for some info: http://www.kvraudio.com/product/superwave_trance_pro_by_superwave/details

what a joke, this sunrizer instrument. really.

 

Saw mentioned it on KVR in some thread, typed here, no mention of it, guess because it's that bad, sorry guys

 

sure is pretty though.

 

this synth is great, my only problem with it is the arpeggiator which is not that intuitive.
when you select a step it goes 'white' which makes reading the info there impossible.
otherwise, great work and i hope they continue to develop it.

 

Yeah what a joke!


Sunrizer is the first truly mature polyphonic synth for the iPad, a real, smooth and powerful sounding option for all sorts of stage and studio performances. – Mark Jenkins, author “Analog Synthesizers”

Virtual analogue synths are now all over the App Store, but this is one of the best. The most important thing is the sound... and it’s great. – MusicRadar

 

are you saying the synth is fantastic ?
(lol, it's still 50 euros)

 

It's quite good on the iPad - nothing that thor wouldn't be able to cover, but a bit easier to use.
For me it's no JP emulation but rather a useful synth with great presets.

 

i rather liked the sound of it on the ipad, dont care about emulation, i just liked what i heard while i was playing with it

 

No, just your opinion of it being a joke is bollocks

 

I own the iOS version. Sounds convincible for an iPad synth. Check out his Impaktor and Gyrosynth apps if you have an iOS device around.

On the desktop though, the UI looks cool but you can buy decent soft synths with less than $100 or even find a free alternative like Synth1 or Tyrell N6 with almost the same functionality.

And also my favorite VA
