What's New in AD

1.0.1

August 26, 2026

> Fixed a click when sweeping the Tilt EQ through center. The control is smoothed now, so fast moves and automation no longer zipper. > Mono mode is last-note priority in every trigger mode now. > Touch a control and the display shows its name and value. > New preference: Jump To Click, for faders that jump to the mouse instead of dragging from where they sit. Off by default. Latch is now a parameter, for those that want to control it with hardware or automation. Its state is not stored in the preset.

Actually better…

I had 4 MC-202s back in the day driven by a MPU-101 as a cute little four-voice polyphonic synth.
Fun and unique little rig - but - I always felt the sound was just “meh” compared to other polyphonic rigs.
This app actually sounds better than that old rig I had.
It does not sound “meh” - actually fuller and more rotund in sound than an old MC-202.
Well done. 👍🏻

Version 1.0.1 update no longer produces any audio

Please fix. iPad version.

Yes. Yes, and Yes.

I’ve had my eye on a recreation of a similar synth (from another great developer), but couldn’t justify the price tag. This hits that same vibe and more! Pair this with Rat Shack Reverb if you dare! Thank you Audio Damage! *edit* I just discovered the Easter egg game. Ten Stars!! 🖖

202 MAGIC

Audio Damage is out here making dreams come true. All hail the exquisite minimalism of the AD-202. If you’ve ever used an MC-202 you already know. If you haven’t you’re about to find out. Boot it up and let Magic happen.

Sounds fantastic!

Real nice sound and tone to this mc-202 replica! Outstanding work!
