About Swoop
One-liner
Swoop is a 6-voice 80s hoover polysynth for iPhone and iPad, as a standalone app and an AUv3 plugin.
Swoop is a 6-voice analog-style polysynth for iPhone and iPad, built around one sound: the 80s hoover. That huge, diving, chorused rave stab, and everything else a classic late-80s polysynth does.
It runs as a standalone app or as an AUv3 plugin in hosts such as GarageBand and AUM. Swoop ships with 34 presets and loads classic 80s SysEx tone banks, so players can bring their own sounds. Three panel looks, one sound engine. Swoop is made by Maxcommerce, a one-person studio in the Netherlands.
