This app makes a fairly run-of-the-mill addition to the Music category of the App Store considering how many synthesizer iOS apps there are currently available. I’d say this app appears to be fairly reliable but without really bringing anything new to the table.

Create Your Own Destiny

What we have here is a standalone synthesizer app for iPhone and iPad that you can use to conjure up some cool and quirky sounds with fairly decent 16-bit sound quality.

There are eight sound patches to choose from including Piano, Dream, Bells, C-Bass, and so on, and Destiny – Digital Synth also includes a cool drum kit for you to jam along with while figuring out new compositions.

What’s more, with Destiny - Digital Synth you can import tracks from your iTunes Music Library and play along with them, and of course you can also record all of your playing sessions to share with your friends.

One thing I really like about the interface is that notes can be clearly laid out to help beginners get up to speed in no time at all.
