  • It’s a blank screen!

    Whhat happpenned? You loose it?
  • Firmware updates broken

    As of this writing, firmware updates are impossible for the Cobalt and Argon series due to a 500 error not being able to access the firmware server. Very disappointing from this company to hype the v2 Cobalt 8 firmware but make it impossible for users to get it.

    The app works fine for other things.

  • Aggressively Good

    Modal have the best app/hardware integration. Period.
  • No import or export of presets

    It is great to have such an app for this synth for each of the main platforms. Unfortunately, there is no provision to import or export presets on iOS like there is on Windows.
  • Needs updating

    The current version of the app on an iPhone 12 looks odd, won’t display the editor for Craft Synth 2, won’t upload samples to Craft Rhythm, and doesn’t route midi from midi controllers to any modal device, including the Skulpt and Argon8. I’m having to use a previous version on an old phone.

    When the app functions properly, it’s fantastic.

  • Poor power management.

    App works as intended but if you don’t force close it when you are done with it continues to consume a ridiculous amount of battery power, even if it isn’t connected to a synth.
  • Nice Could be better!

    I don’t really like using the app. I prefer the hands-on controls of the Argon 8X but I do use it from time to time, it’s useful to get an overview of a patch, especially seeing all the mod assignments at once. I would use it so much more if Modal added iCloud support for preset import / export. Getting a USB cable long enough to reach my Mac is a real pain.

    If the developers read this, PLEASE add iCloud Drive support. Your app desperately needs it.

  • Pointless.

    It doesn’t work and asks me to connect the device, even though it’s connected. This app needs fixing or removing altogether.
  • Excellent

    One of the best synth editors out there. Kudos to the Modal team for showing the industry how it should be done.
  • Crying out for better preset management

    This is a great application - I use it on the Argon 8 - very handy to better visualise patches and especially sequencing.

    Have had some problems with stuck notes when previewing sounds on the built in keyboard though.

    Biggest problem is preset management. The are lots of great presets - but not arranged in any order. There’s no searchable tag on presets (most modern synths have this) - a ‘favourites’ tag would be fantastic. Also, text search on presets shouldn’t be difficult and would help a lot.
