Audible Genius tells us that Syntorial is now available for the iPad.

A spokesperson said, "Syntorial is video game-like training software, that will teach you how to program synth patches by ear. With almost 200 lessons, combining video demonstrations with interactive challenges, you'll get hands on experience programming patches on a built-in soft synth, and learn everything you need to know to start making your own sounds with ease."

Here's more details in the company's own words...

HIGHLIGHTS

- Interactive Learning: Syntorial doesn't just show you how synth programming works. It engages you in Interactive Challenges in which you program patches on a built-in synth. You aren't just learning how to design sound, you are becoming a sound designer.

- For Musicians, Not Physicists: Instead of talking about the science and physics behind synthesizers, Syntorial will show you how each control effects sound, as well as when, why and how you would use them when designing sounds. This is information that you can immediately apply to real-life situations.

- It's All About The Ear: One step at a time, Syntorial trains your ear to recognize how each control shapes and manipulates sound. By the end of the program you'll be able to take the sounds you hear and re-create them, completely by ear.


LESSON SPECS

- Challenges: Learn by doing! Complete challenges by programming patches with Syntorial's built-in synth.

- Videos: Everything is taught through video demonstrations using the same synth that you'll use in the challenges.

- Patches: Program, program, program. After all, that's what it's all about, right? By the end you will have programmed tons of patches, from simple to complex, familiar to strange.

- Quizzes: Multiple choice questions to help you retain and remember everything you learn.

- On Your Own: Syntorial will give you periodic tasks to be carried out on your own with whatever synth(s) you use.
