Crashing on Opening

I used to Love this App. But right now it Crashes Every Time I try to Open it! Please update it so it opens in the newer iOS Versions.

Not such a good app.

It seems to crash a lot in AUM and it doesn’t work in Audiobus 3 so a bit of a disappointment.

Money down the drain

Still crashes on launch after the 3-9-21 update.

App does not work in iOS 14. Why is this allowed to stay in the App Store?

Why isn’t this working anymore?

Why isn’t this working anymore?

Crashes when launching on iPhone 11 Pro Max

Program was running great on my previous version iPhone. Tried deleting and reloading. No success. Tried contacting app support but got a 404 error. Anyone have any suggestions

Love this!

I really love playing sounds and sometimes playing them slowed down like with orch1, but I played anvil11 and BrassFall11 and it sounded just like Terminator 2 Judgement Day soundtrack! It’s amazing! I highly recommend you get it!

But I don’t like how expensive this was.
Why is it so expensive?

Broken after last update

Can now only play one note at a time after the last update. I’ve had this app now for years and it’s been great going all the way back to my 3rd generation iPad running IOS 8, but now after the update you can no longer play chords .. only one note at a time. I’m using two iPad Pro’s now days one running IOS 12.3.1 and the other IOS 11.3.1. If this gets fixed I’ll give it a 5 star rating .. but as is now after the update it’s useless.

Wish there were more functionality

Would love to see the HARMONIC ENVELOPES PAGE 4 implemented someday, and a skin from the model III rather than I and II; it’s far easier on the eyes after a while.

I would like to see this app updated to the point where a modern brain could use it for music production for the use of its excellent sample library. I went through my vintage-stuff phase, just want to get some work done. Thank you!

A player

Who would have thought, back in the day, while most of us were coding on tickertape and punch cards, that some brilliant guys would put together such an awesome creature that had a touchscreen interface and played back the coolest digital samples. Something that impressed Stevie Wonder and Quincy Jones? And that a couple of decades later you could download a Fairlight in less than a minute? Never mind. I just spent an hour just going through the sound files like a kid in a game store. It's a piece of history and science fiction all at once.

Broken Sequencer, Great Synth

[EDIT: 01/22] An update has been released which claims to fix the Page R issues. I can't verify this because, during testing, it became clear that The app can't stay on beat; its BPM is slightly slower than my other apps (all of which synchronize perfectly when set to the same BPM), which causes it to drift further and further off with every loop. Since this app also doesn't take MIDI Clock In, good luck getting it to synchronize with your other tools, unless you want to use it as a master and have all of your samples with the wrong BPM. Unacceptable for the price; this is still an update or two off from being a professional tool.

[Original]The instruments sound great and the MIDI functionality means this will play nice with external sequencers. For the premium price, you'd expect for the hyped 'Page R' (built-in sequencer) functionality to work, but it's buggy beyond usability. Changes made don't always register and sometimes half-register (replacing a note with another will either not work at all or, sometimes, both notes will sound polyphonically, which isn't accurate to the hardware, obviously!). As another reviewer pointed out, your changes will be represented GRAPHICALLY but won't impact playback, so what you see is rarely what you hear.

It's disappointing, because part of this app's appeal is its immersive simulation, but the fact that Page R doesn't work brings you out of the illusion; you have to use it more like any of your other iOS synths.

Because it sounds and looks so good, I'd rate this app much higher -- if its price tag were more humble! At this price, I definitely expect an app to not be inhibited by such dramatic bugs.
