Reviews of VOLT Synth

  • Does not work on iOS 13. Changing presets does nothing.

    It used to work OK. Too crashy for real time use. Shockwave has the same issues.
  • Pop ups

    Nags you to rate when you’re playing
  • Still the best.

    For an “all purpose” synth this thing is my number 1 choice by a large margin. Whenever I just want a voice or pad without wanting to experiment much or design or get into the weeds this is the silver bullet.
