A touch-first pocket synth for iPhone and iPad with chords, strums, ARPs, drums, AUv3, and dual MIDI Out for AUv3 or hardware synths.
Omni: Pocket Synth is a compact, touch-first instrument for creating chords, strums, arpeggios, pads, keys, and rhythmic musical ideas with an immediate performance workflow.
Play harmonic layouts directly from the screen, shape two independent pocket synth engines, add motion and effects, and send MIDI to other apps or hardware. Omni is designed to feel fast, musical, and expressive without turning into a complex workstation.
Omni works both as a standalone app and as an AUv3 instrument. In AUv3 hosts, you can route Chord and Strum MIDI outputs separately, making it easy to control different instruments from one performance
surface.
The free version includes the core playing experience. Omni Pro unlocks the full preset workflow, AUv3 support, advanced strum modes, Layout Editor, MIDI Out, and other creative tools.
Features include:
- Touch-based chord and strum performance.
- Chord Voice and Strum Voice with independent sound controls
- Wavetable and subtractive / virtual analog voice engines with focused pocket controls
- Hold / latch modes for Chord and Strum performance.
- Multiple strum modes including Standard, Extended, Pentatonic, Scale, and Chromatic Touchplates
- Built-in ARP with musical patterns, rate, octaves, gate, and swing.

- Reverb, delay, vibrato, and autopan performance effects.
- Layout Editor for custom chord lavouts.
- MIDI In for playing from external controllers.
- MIDI Out for controlling other apps, AUv3 instruments, or hardware synths.
- Hold / latch performance can also be used with MIDI Out.
- AUv3 Instrument support for hosts such as AUM
