Fabulous if you like to tinker
If you're just a preset surfer, you might be happier with a different synth app. But if you want to open your horizons to a whole new experience in modular synthesis, and aren't adverse to learning, or at least experimenting, just get this! Bram Bos is a total favorite developer. Everything he does is golden. :)
[update 7/18/2017] Bram Bos does it again. He just released a patch to work around a bug in another developer's host app until they provide their own fix! That's beyond the call of duty!Show lesswareismike
Superb but needs a few improvements...
[Edit] Recent update added banana jack-style stacking outputs! Thanks for such a quick addition! [Edit]
It's a good west-coast inspired semi-modular. Similar to the MakeNoise 0-Coast I think.
Please implement a single row of jacks underneath the current knob/jack UI for some simple attenuverters/mixers. It feels a bit too limited patching wise. Also in that space consider adding some type of clock divide and multiply feature for gates/clocks.
Or even if there were a way to attenuate and invert each patch cable on the way to its destination somehow.
A way to sync/divide/multiply the Sample & Hold rate with a clock/square wave input.
An input to the Sample and Hold. Noise normaling is great by default, but an override input to replace it with another module output would be ideal. Also have noise as a separate output.
Please add a gate input jack for the cycle button on the slope generator to turn it on/off. I love this feature of Maths in eurorack and it would do well here.
Another great addition would be cv over the delay parameters.
Possibly add a second audio rate oscillator to complement the existing one would be nice to free up the slope generator for other duties when doing standard cross modulation west-coast FM Patches.
I use a hardware eurorack format modular, so the patching versatility is really important to me. The more CV control, the better.
Still a fun app to use as is. And you can certainly make some cool tunes easily with this app!
Thanks for the synth. Make it just a bit better if you can please. :)Show lessThePro2112
west coast love
beautiful sounds and a great manual for the modular challenged (me). the krell patch example and explanation alone is worth the price.organofqwerty
My favorite new app!
I got this just as a curiosity. I bought it on Monday and after playing with it for a couple of hours decided to make it a central part of my performance on Tuesday. It worked great! And now, with banana style patching, I can see this is going to be fun for a long time. Cheers Bram Bos!Eban_Crawford
Sounds great
All of the Bram Bos apps are worthy purchases. This one sounds surprisingly good and is a very familiar interface for 0 coast owners. I find myself making a generative patch and then just listening to it for way too long.Thermos79
Exactly what I've been looking for
I've been wanting a modular app with more of a West Coast flavor... and this fits perfectly. Though I wouldn't mind a second slope generator to replace the ADSR which would lend itself a bit more to the West Coast style (or a way to switch that module between the two). But that's a minor request, this app is exactly what I've been looking for and overlaps with actual modular gear I have, so I can use it as a sketchpad for real patches. Great job, Thanks!Show lesscgorsu
how deep does the rabbit hole go?
This is not for the faint of heart or lazy person that just wants quick presets. It's for sound exploration. In order to get the most enjoyment out of this little guy, you need to be an experienced synthesist or aspire to be one. At least you don't have to blow $500+ to find out if that's you.Coolycoolll
It's a modular synth.
If you don't know what a modular synthesizer is, you probably shouldn't get this, not unless you're willing to do a little bit of reading and experimenting. The one reviewer rating this poorly makes a good point about this probably not being a great beginner app. But his disappointment could have been avoided had he taken a cursory look at the ins and outs (ha ha) of modular synth patching, etc. If you are familiar at all with serious music making in iOS then you would probably notice right away that the keyboard screenshot displayed is clearly the keyboard in Cubasis. It is un-missable (or at least it should be). In addition, I'm pretty sure most (if not all) of Bram Bros apps are used as audio unit plug-ins in your fave DAW. Duh. So, what I'm trying to say is…please disregard that review.
If you have any familiarity with using modulars, you will enjoy this app. I personally like the anachronism of a software instrument that requires you to manually form patches. It's quaint, and while it isn't really an ideal modern workflow (unless you are very familiar with how modular synths work), it is a tried and true interface in which the journey by which you reach a particular patch is just as important as the final sound you create.Show lessB3ARC4T
Misleading pictures, there's no keyboard
Guess that's it imbedded into something else.
Just a fidgety, unintuitive sequencer, with no instructions except on their website. Sounds ok but this shouldn't be aimed at beginners or the inexperienced.Ellivenud
A new voice
Elegant, fluid, musical. I have been on the edge of my seat waiting for this app, and I am not disappointed. It embodies the kind of gracious organic potential in West Coast machines, while retaining the capacity for all the raucous aggressive sounds that defy imagination. It comes closer to the playable instrument for me in the same way the Animoog does, and does so by resembling the machines that inspired it much more. Can't say enough good things. All the connectivity you could dream of, enough to spur you into new territory. Applause!Show lessreviewsaremisleading
