Suprise: Voice Synth for IOS got a major update

After the developer tells us that Voice Synth will not longer be developed, we get today a nice suprise, Voice Synth is back with an updated version. AudioBus is still not usable but you can use it great with IAA. I have an video which is not yet released about the last version but I think I will delete this one because the app got a complete new look and many new features.

Check my Facebook Page for a very little experimentation with the new version of Voice Synth
