Version 3.0 - Multi Split Screen
New in version 3.0: divide the screen up to 4 times for simultaneous patch performance (on 64-bit iPads)!
Universal
TC-11 is now a universal app - a single binary that runs on both iPad and iPhone.
Multi-Touch Synthesis
TC-11 is a programmable modular synthesizer on the iPad and iPhone, controlled by multi-touch and device motion controllers. All synthesis parameters can be controlled by these two sources, allowing for countless unique patch configurations.
TC-11 does not use on-screen objects like knobs or buttons for synthesis control. Instead, your touches are the controllers. Distances, angles, rotation, speeds, and timings created by the touches are used to push synthesis parameters in real-time. TC-11 opens up every inch of the screen for performance. Plus, the device's motion capabilities can be used as controllers. The accelerometer, gyroscope and compass can be assigned to synthesis parameters to turn your device into a expressive motion-controlled synth.
Full Programmability
TC-11 gives access to every corner of the synthesis engine for unlimited customization. Choose which oscillators, filters, and effects you want in your patch. Then choose from any control source, including multi-touch controllers, device motion, envelope generators, low-frequency oscillators, and step sequencers.
Drag-and-drop controllers for fast parameter assignment. Live graph readouts show controller activity in real time.
All 160 presets were built in-app, and can be modified in any way to fit your song or style. Start with an existing preset, then change the controllers, effects, range, note mapping, waveforms, or any other parameter to make the patch your own. Or, start with a blank slate and come up with a brand new multi-touch synth from scratch. The possibilities are limitless.
A patch programming interface designed from the ground up for iOS Devices.
Synthesis Built for iOS Devices
The synthesis engine in TC-11 was built from the ground up specifically for the iPad / iPhone. It is highly optimized to deliver crisp, responsive control, up to 11 voice polyphony. Plus with built-in recording, Audiobus with State Saving, Inter-App Audio, and AudioCopy, you can capture every performance. No matter what your style is, TC-11 can create a sound that fits in your studio or on stage.
Each synth object shows a live readout of its output level so you can watch your signal change from start to finish (iPad 4 and newer).

160 Presets, Unlimited User Patches
The 160 presets that come with TC-11 include stretchy pads, sequenced patterns, synthy drums, monsterous basses, bells, leads, and even woodwinds. But those are only the beginning. The unlimited user patches allow you to make your own custom versions of the presets, or build as many of your own original instruments as you want. Then, share your creations by emailing your patches to your friends.
TC-11's interface is so customizable it can be an entirely different instrument for each patch.
Audiobus Compatible
TC-11 is compatible as an input source in Audiobus, and includes support for State Saving.
