Great App

I cannot imagine a better app for the musician AND non musician alike. Musicians can be as creative as they like and non- musicians can be up and making credible music in minutes.

Great MIDI controller

Good audio engine, good MIDI controller, good IAA features (control bar!!!). Seriously a huge fan

Fantastic

Amazing instrument in its own right. The fact you can control your other synths with it is brilliant. Great tool for composing and even performing! One of the best music apps.

Zero Stars

This app has not been updated for two years.
Then last night, updated appeared and this new updated version is full of bugs up to that stage that you can not use it any more. I took it off all of my devices and it will never go back.

A true 5 star music app

There are many synthesizer apps that I give 5 stars for, but this is the only music app I have that is truly 5 stars. Why? Not only I keep coming back to it, but it is virtually bug free and easy to use. The interface is so great that the DRC polyphonic synthesizer probably stole the idea for its chord mode. This app is basically a futuristic version of these old Yamaha and Casio rhythm keyboards. You have a hexagonal keyboard for chords, and you have a vertical keyboard for solo notes. You even have a drum machine with three different sound modes! It makes a great scratch pad and inspirational tool for many genres of music including ambient. I can't wait for 2.0!

Save often

Very nice but has the unpleasant habit of resetting and losing the current setting on device lock/unlock. Such a letdown. Apart from that annoying glitch, it's a tremendously fun instrument. Highly recommended, provided you save often. Make sure you check out the cloud presets. Some gems in there.

A great app

A great app, do what suppose to do very well, with easy comfiguration and design.

Easy and efficient.

Form and function

Beautiful design, intuitive operation. After a brief setup, I feel I'm playing an instrument rather than operating a mere app. There are a handful of great apps in this niche, some more featureful, yes, but this is the one I keep coming back to. Pure pleasure.

Vital tools for iOS music

Idiot-proof. Will make you wonder why you went to music school, or make you glad you didn't. 40k in student loans or a few sheckles for this? No-brainer. Gorgeous UI this is really one of the prettiest apps on iOS.

Great, but missing one feature.

This app is a great controller, however I would love to see midi clock input to sync the arpeggios to an external drum machine or sequencer.
