About Music Synthesizer for Android

Music Synthesizer for Android is a synth based on a very high quality emulation of the Yamaha DX7, plus a 4-pole resonant filter. It's an open source project as well, so please check out the project link for code and more.

There is also experimental USB MIDI keyboard support, for devices that support USB host mode.

This project was featured in the Google I/O 2013 talk, "High Performance Audio for Android", as an example of how to accomplish low latency, reliable audio playback.

This synth sounds amazing but it's rather a toy with presets than actual synthesizer. I suspect it plays recorded HQ samples because it lacks any tweakers and knobs to tune your own sound. And as usual it can't export any session, tune or a simple note to .wav files.

Have been looking for something simple that would just give me a decent set of sounds..especially a piano..that I can use with an android device and a midi controller. This program fit that task perfectly.

Works amazingly well Latency wise! However could you please implement an alternative touch velocity for us poor nexus 6p users that don't have a working touch pressure but has touch size? It would make that app a blast! i really enjoy it on my friend's nexus 5 and 5x where touch sensitivity works well. Could you also add aftertouch pitch bend?

Used with midi Samson Carbon midi controller just to peck around and practice on the go. No latency on LG G5 Marshmallow. This app has a lot of potential. There was a tiny crackle when playing a lot of notes but this definitely a winner if you just want basic sounds to practice with.

B70%

Won't let me download so, idk.

K70%
by K####:

Cutoff, resonance, and overdrive buttons hard to get set where you want them. Would rather see up and down arrows showing numbers than dials. Must admit, I didn't play with it much after I saw that feature was inadequate imho.

B70%
by B####:

This is one of the best keyboards i have found. Very low latency responsive keys. Keep up the good work, there are so many worthless apps at google play

K70%
by K####:

Good one but need more features to make it completely professional. Better than. Other crap musical app. U can run ur finger fast.

X70%

I have a CASIO CTX-720 but the problem is that I can only leave it at home... while this let's me have synthesizing fun wherever I go. Thanks!

R70%
by R####:

What it has is done well. It needs some settings, like for reverb, and mostly lMHO it needs a composing interface, something very clean and simple, similar to maybe Pixitracker, so user can jot down some ideas and save them to work with them again later. Simple sample loading-playing would be also a big plus, for percussion parts. Hope the author sticks with it. Oh, and it has different keyboard modes which is nice. Small problem is that the loudness of instruments varies so user must adjust that constantly

M70%
by M####:

if they added more features and actually had the look they advertised then itd be good but until then one star.

I70%
by I####:

Very simple. Good for practicing piano. Without ability to record and without realistic sounding pianos, 4 stars

K70%
by K####:

I wish there was a record feature, overall excellent app.

K70%
by K####:

Zero lag but really needs to have a recording option. Also needs a dedicated volume so you can more easily play along with a music file playing in the background and mix levels

K70%
by K####:

Sounds are weak. Latency issues on my LG G Flex fixed!

K70%
by K####:

Don't get me wrong it's great app but it would get a 5 star rating if I could record what I made other then that it's a great app

N70%

Under the hood this is the most amazing fm open source synth I know of.

Crashes my Galaxy S6 in less than a minute. That minute was really cool. Hope you fix it.

Mangstap Gan !!! The best apk to play with microkey !!! Just give it more midi banks please. Thanks alot

U70%
by U####:

First, where is the standard keyboard view? The black and white looking piano keys? All that shows is white and grey blocks and there is no option to enable the standard piano keyboard like shown in tbe images. Second, tje pitch/scale is off by 1 note. The keys don't even match. Im not complaining and I understand this is still beta but... am I missing something here? Samsung Galaxy S4 Android 4.3

U70%
by U####:

This synth has a lot of good sounds with a simple, easy to use interface. I'm guessing more features will be added in time, but what you get today works well. Reverb and a couple more effects would be a good thing for future updates.

M70%
by M####:

I love this app, very simple, and I like the 3 row option. However, I'd like ASDR control and the ability to have pure saw/sin/square/etc
