Let me introduce you to Jasuto, the first truly modular synthesizer for iPhone and iPod Touch.

Jasuto seems to be like a tiny Reactable for your iPhone. Best of all, there's also a VST version ! The iPhone app and VST versions can communicate with each other over your wi-fi network. When in this mode the app acts like a high resolution multi-touch remote controlling the VST in your host software. You can also sync patches via this method as well, giving you the ability to share them with others or just back them up…




Jasuto is available now through the iTunes Store at a price of $1/€0.79.
