VIRAL Synth 2: T2x | AUv3 version 2.0
Updated At: 2026-06-27
Changes: Version History VIRAL SYNTH 2 IS HERE! FREE UPGRADE:
Enjoy New Oscillators, Filters, Microtonality, Scales and more!
• NEW: 2x Oversampled Oscillators
Saw, Sine, Triangle, Square, and PWM oscillators are now 2x oversampled for bigger lows, cleaner highs, and a more polished sound.
• NEW: Two Modern VA Filters
Introducing T-12 and T-24: two new modern virtual analog filters with a little self-resonance for extra fun
T-12: 12 dB low-pass filter
T-24: 24 dB low-pass filter
• NEW: Snappier Filter Envelopes
The new T-12 and T-24 filters respond with tighter, punchier envelopes. Turn up the Filter Mod amount to really hear them move.
•IMPROVED: Filter Keytracking
The new filters also feature improved keytracking for more musical response across the keyboard.
• NEW: Hardware-Inspired PWM
A brand new PWM algorithm gives pulse-width sounds a more alive, hardware-like feel.
• NEW: MICROTONALITY
Explore new sonic territory with 150+ curated microtonal scales, including North Indian scales, Hexanies, and scales by Irv Wilson, Marcus Hobbs, and more.
• Import Scala .scl tuning files and bring your own custom scales into the app.
• NEW: WORLD SCALES
Explore 60+ international scales with selectable root keys. Choose from Arabic, Egyptian, Eastern, and other world scales, then pick the base key that fits your song.
• NEW: WESTERN KEY + SCALE SUPPORT
Choose a key like C minor, Bb, F minor, and more. Select from Major, Minor, Blues, Pentatonic, and other familiar scales.
Keep your arps, sequences, and external MIDI locked to a Western scale, world scale, or go fully microtonal.
• NEW: PRESETS SAVE THEIR KEY AND SCALE
Want Preset #17 to always load in D minor? Now it will. Save presets with the correct key and scale for songs, live sets, and performance patches.
• NEW: AUv3 STATE SAVING FOR TUNING AND SCALE
Your tuning and scale settings are now saved properly inside AUv3 sessions.
• NEW: TUNE LOCK
Tune Lock button starts unlocked, so presets can load with their saved tuning. Tap the lock icon to keep the same tuning while changing presets.
• NEW: PROGRAM CHANGE MIDI MAPPING
You can now use a custom MIDI CC to change presets. Go to the About Page [i], tap “MIDI Mapping,” then “Add/Edit Mapping.” Choose “Program Change,” then enter the CC you want to use.
• NEW: Pre-made MIDI map for Bass Station II hardware. Find it in the MIDI Maps section.
• FULLY Backward compatible with your existing presets and sessions!
PLUS: More improvements under the hood. This is a big leap forward
Thanks for supporting the app,
Analog Matthew 2.0 2d ago THANKS EVERYONE!
• NEW: MIDI Clock In can now be toggled off
Tap the Tempo readout to turn MIDI Clock In on/off
NOTE: Tempo readout turns green when MIDI Clock is controlling it
• iPhone AU View improvements
• Fixes sequence sound cutting out while scrolling presets & lfos
MORE FREE UPDATES TO COME! BETTER & BETTER! 1.3.3 May 19 THANKS EVERYONE! Big improvements:
• NEW: MIDI Clock Input. Get your Tempo from a MIDI source! (In Standalone mode. AUV3 hosts should have their own timing)
• AUV3 Timing: Sequencer/Arp Starts on First Beat in Cubasis
• LFO/Tempo Sync Timing More Accurate
• Fix for MIDI Learn crashes in iOS 26
This app will keep getting Better & Better! 1.3 Apr 29 Thanks Everyone, Big stability improvements!
• Fixes crashes in Standalone launch some users were experiencing
• Fixes Ableton Link related crashes
MORE FREE UPDATES TO COME! 1.2.1 Feb 5 Thanks, everyone! New Features, by popular demand:
• MIDI Program Change added to AUv3. App now responds to MIDI Program Change in hosts like AUM.
• Alternate “A” tuning now recalls with AUv3 saved state and presets. Reload projects at 432 Hz (or any tuning), and save different tunings per preset. Use the new Lock button next to tuning to keep the same tuning while you change presets.
• Close button added to the Bluetooth MIDI Keyboard popup (especially useful on iPhone).
• Were you having crashes on standalone during load? This version should fix!
More updates coming soon. Thanks! 1.2 Jan 20 Thanks Everyone: v1.1.1. Quick Fixes for GarageBand & Logic, Including Freezing for Cubasis
TLDR you keep the big memory gains, and project save and load should feel normal again.
Plus everything in v1.1 MASSIVE UPGRADE!
AUv3 Engine Overhaul + Updated GarageBand Support:
• Totally rebuilt for GarageBand. Sessions feel solid!
• Snapshots recall exactly as saved. Every time.
• Big memory win per instance.
• Zero memory creep on reloads. In fact, reloading a project now uses less memory than the original load.
• Real numbers: a project with 2 instances loaded twice used ~960 MB before; now ~180 MB. A third reload used to jump to ~1.3 GB; now still ~180 MB.
• Performance in GB jumps from a rough Grade D to a confident Grade A.
• If GB won't show Viral, in your device's "Settings" app under GarageBand, choose "Reset GarageBand"
Other Host Improvements.
• Rock-solid when switching presets while receiving MIDI in Loopy Pro, GB, and others. No more preset switching crashes in Loopy Pro!
• Groove Rider loads faster and handles multiple loads without crashing. Older iPads may still see occasional hiccups, but crashes are dramatically reduced.
• About 40% memory savings per instance across all AUv3 hosts. 3 instances now use roughly what 2 did before.
• Heads-up: Viral Synth is a serious instrument built for modern iPads. For best results, run fewer instances than lighter apps.
• Loopy Pro improvements are coming. If you need to reload a project w/ AudioKit apps, restart Loopy Pro each time to keep things stable.
VIRAL SYNTH Specific:
• Toggle to remove the Ninja from the app and app icon (on about page)
• Standalone: Fixed a crash when attaching or removing Bluetooth headphones.
• Touch Pad now snaps back to the correct values.
• Added a 3rd hidden icon in the app icon Easter egg, have you found the Easter Egg?!
• Toggle to lock the bottom panel. On iPad, the bottom panel stays put even if you tap the top navigation buttons repeatedly.
• ADSR envelope graphics now move in real time with MIDI control.
• Too many more updates to mention... 1.1.1 10/30/2025 Thanks Everyone! MASSIVE UPGRADE!
