  • EHX Mini-Synthesizer: Now There's An App For That

    By HC News |

     

     Electro-Harmonix MINI-SYNTHESIZER App

     

    Electro-Harmonix, a pioneer since 1968 in the field of sound effects for musicians, has produced an app which is a faithful digital re-creation of their circa 1980 analog cult-classic, The MINI-SYNTHESIZER.

    Available for iPad and iPhone (IOS version 8.0 or later), the EHX MINI-SYNTHESIZER accurately delivers all the vintage synth sounds of the original plus modern updates.
       
    EHX President and Founder, Mike Matthews stated: "Fans of vintage synths will appreciate the app's ability to re-create the original's warm analog sounds and deep funky bass. But because it's so affordable ($2.99 for phone, $4.99 for tablet), parents, educators and non-musicians will love it, too."
