Could use apple silicon optimization.

Update to perform better on apple silicon please!

I use this all the time.

This is one of those apps that I always go to. There are apps you buy and just forget about them after awhile. That’s not the case with this one. I can’t wait to see what OSC Audio comes with next. Please make some instrument apps like a synth or a drum app. I know you can make something great.

Thanks for updating

Now it is great. Thanks for doing the updates.\ and responding. Now can use it in a way that is doable since there are loaded presets. Tried changing to 5 stars hope it worked.

Edit: The update is live! :) Thanks for your patience. My BETA team caught a really tricky last minute issue that’s been fixed. Thanks for your review, I appreciate your time and support. I can confirm, you've heard right! The preset use in app is getting a whole redesign in the next update. I've worked with some really helpful users to make sure it's a quick and easy to navigate. I'm not sure if Apple allows links to video example, but here is an unlisted (early) sneak peek of the preset manager. https://youtu.be/QXUBQxt7QII This update is planned for next week, it's almost complete. It's in testing now and getting the final cherries on top. Don't hesitate to let us know what else you'd like to see in the update. Below is our direct contact link. contact@oscaudio.com In the meantime, I've made a quick video to help make the current system as useful and easy as possible. Link below (hopefully Apple lets it through). https://youtu.be/xnbsG5WC4-4 Thanks again for your support!

Read description!

I’m editing the previous review, actually I don’t think I need the manual anymore, it’s just a couple of pages of description that’s it, just realised, it’s the sound that matters, doesn’t matter what or where it’s inspired from, from a very pragmatist point of view.

So, here comes the new king of the iOS,
All hail the the king!
The king has arrived!
All hail the king!

With love and lots of respect and hugs,
welcome, Sire!

“I know you’ve been working hard, with passion and sincerity, but the thing I want to point out, or a question to ask. What is the purpose for the manual you’ve come up with, even with putting my all biases on your side, the manual doesn’t have any real information regarding the app, what kind of modules , their emulation background, at the very least the hardware inspiration behind the emulations, I mean I could go on. This manual is going to have a great impact on your reputation. Please, my friend, don’t take this personally, consider this a friend who truly cares about another friend of his, and suggest him to only help him. He who always praises you, beware of them. Only true friends will tell your lacking to you, no other entity will do that. With kind regards. Giving 5 stars , just to show respect for the hard work, and artistic creativity you’ve put into this bomb of an app.”

Ehhhhh - needs improvement

Sound quality is alright. The UI seems to suffer some lag from when you move the knobs to actually hearing the change. I feel like I can get most of these sounds in higher quality from other plugins, but it could be useful if they add some more algorithms, better reverbs, etc.

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback, we appreciate your support and we're sorry to hear of your troubles. We'll be adding a lot more to come in future updates. If you experience any issues, please be sure to report your device information to our team for full investigation. Below is our support link. contact@oscaudio.com

Excellent, enjoyable and a great idea

This is perfect for me, easy to use and all in one place. On top of that it sounds great to me and some very experimental and interesting things can be achieved here. All good 👍

Response from developer

Thanks for your support & feedback that means a lot! We're very happy to hear sumFX is treating you right and helping you make new music. Enjoy!

Cool idea, not quite there yet

Needs some presets to be more useful. Lfo Sync options seem to have a mind of their own as to when changes kick in. And having to engage transport to hear is a pain.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. We're working on the behavior of the combo boxes, it seems on some devices it's easier than it should be to move your finger off the selection upon release. This prevents the selection and might be what is happening to you. Stay tuned! Make sure to have your FX engaged with the power button at the bottom of it's slot when changing Modes/LFO options. As for your last behavior with the transport, that will be resolved in the next update. :)

Impressed so far !

Great introductory price, I’ve only had a little play so far , but have created some nice subtle effects and also some crazy stuff . Nice sound. My only ask would be some preset effects (for both effects and chains included )for us lazy folk !

Response from developer

Thank you for your support and feedback! We do offer some Factory presets from our site, below is an FAQ to help you get them. https://oscaudio.netlify.app/company/faqs/article_003 The next update is going to have a lot of improvements when it comes to presets. We have a new preset manager and we've loaded in the Factory Presets straight into the app.
