This is terry tibbs!!!You seduced me well!! Thanks for that synth station25 support was waiting for that:) Nice one guys)) ### 5/5 — Ein herausragender Synth *2012-01-29* Je mehr Synths für iOS erscheinen, desto zögerlicher werde ich bei Neuanschaffungen. Oftmals ist es nur alter Wein in neuen Schläuchen. Beim derzeitigen Sonderpreis konnte ich aber nicht anders. Wider Erwarten wurde ich nicht enttäuscht, im Gegenteil: Der Additive Synth Micro ist es ein echtes Highlight in meiner Sammlung. Er liefert hochwertige Sounds, besitzt einen eigenständigen Charakter und lässt sich auf dem iPhone ganz passabel bedienen. Dank der intelligenten Zufallsfunktionen sind interessante Sounds und Sequenzen im Handumdrehen erstellt - schließlich hat man beim Musikmachen ja auch nicht immer Lust sich in Details zu verbeißen. ### 5/5 — Def 5 stars with new update *2012-01-28* Best synth for iPhone and with ss 25 support makes it even better ### 5/5 — Updates auf wunsch *2012-01-28* Danke für SS25 support. Der synth ist spitze! ### 5/5 — Wahnsinn *2012-01-28* Auch auf dem iPhone ein Ereignis. Der Loop Recorder macht so viel Spass... Danke für die Unterstützung der Synthstation - erleichtert das Spielen auf dem iPhone! ### 5/5 — Another great VirSyn product! *2011-12-01* Easy to use, great sounds and a little quirky, so another great piece of software from VirSyn ### 4/5 — これ楽しいですよ *2011-11-11* これだけで一曲作るって感じでは無いけど タイトル通り音作りが楽しい。 音源部は少し変わっているが 手書きで細かな設定ができるオシレータ及びフィルターが２組 それらセットI,IIの合わさり具合をモーフで調整する。（この辺はまだ研究中） EGやLFOなどを使ってフィルターやモーフをコントロール これらを組み合わせると、時間軸上でかなりの倍音変化を持たせられる。 更に編集可能（結構作り込める）なアルペジエータも有り、内蔵ディレイをオンにすれば トリップ感のある、幻想的で結構凝ったパフォーマンスができる。 クリップボードへのオーディオの書き出しもあるので NanoStudioやBeat Maker2に貼付ければ お気に入りのパフォーマンスを楽曲へと昇華することもできる。 iPhoneやiPod touchでAUDIO RECORDERのFileName入力欄が ソフトウェアキーボードで隠れてしまったり（iPadは所持していないので不明） つまみが小さいので操作が難しい等、いくつか問題はあるので☆4ですが シンセ好きなら十分に楽しめると思う。 ### 5/5 — Very deep *2011-11-05* Great sounds ### 5/5 — Too amazing!!!! *2011-10-27* Absolutely the best music app ever released..the hipstamatic of music apps, has the x factor... ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Broken, abandoned app. *2021-07-15* It should be removed from the App Store. Makes me wonder if it’s worth buying apps from the same dev. Probably not… ### 1/5 — Ableton link and au *2017-07-13* Where are these features? ### 1/5 — Refund *2017-01-21* I would please like a refund for this app it did not work nearly as well as I thought it would I would really appreciate a refund please get back to me soon ### 1/5 — Good sound, poor experience *2016-05-02* This would be a solid app for production as the sounds you can create out of it are excellent, however! I've found a couple of issues after using it for ten minutes. Firstly, the tempo is completely out, I was trying to record something to put into loopy at 108bpm but micros tempo was going a lot faster, I tried to bring the tempo down in micro to match loopy and it was correct at around 100bpm. You can't get 100bpm! You can only get 99 or 101. Second problem is changing the position on the keyboard. I select the option to move the keyboard to a higher octave but when I come out of the move and shrink setting the keyboard is in a different position to what I set it to. I wouldn't have bought this if I knew there where fundamental problems with it. ### 3/5 — No output through headphones! *2012-03-06* This sounds great. The problem(bug) is when connected to akai synthstation you get no output through the akai headphone out. Only the RCA put out level. What's up with that? ### 3/5 — Cool *2011-10-26* Addictive on the iPad is one of the best, but this one is a bit unstable my ipad 2 iOS 5. When fixed it will best ikaossilator, imaschine, etc etc. Please fix it soon. ### 3/5 — Could be the Best iPhone synth available eventually *2011-10-24* Update: I have to lower my rating because core midi is not working. I have tested extensively and found that core midi does not work at all. Without question Addictive micro is my favorite iPhone synth. I have been using addictive synth for iPad since release day and was surprised recently to find a mini version of addictive synth because of the huge array of parameters that would have to be squeezed into an iPhone screen. I am baffled by the engineering involved in squeezing all these amazing features into such a small space. I have read that addictive micro has all the features of the iPad version, I would say that is not true. But it has basically all the features that count. Micro is missing the random/dice button on several parameters that are available on the iPad version. Although I don't really miss them on the iPhone version. I will also say the sound seems like its noticeably of less quality on the micro version compared to the iPad version. The iPhone version of addictive is missing the x y pad and virsyn has tried to incorporate the x y into the keyboard... this does not really work out for me because I am forced to choose between controlling a pitchbend or other parameters I would normally control with the x y pad. A couple of things I thing addictive micro is missing: -A manual. I'm sure a manual is coming but it leads me to my next missing item. -A hold button. Trying to hold a note while tweaking parameters that are spread out over 6 pages is very inconvenient. Yes there is the arp, but a hold button really seems like a necessity to me. It may have a hold button but if it does I cannot find it with no manual to check. I tried to contact virsyn but I cannot find support on the site or on the iTunes page.😞 -Virtual midi. This goes for the iPad version also, I am really feeling the lack of virtual midi after extensively using Sunriser, animoog, and NLog for a while now. Addictive synth is a fantastic sounding synth, but the arppegiator does not replace a sequencer with virtual midi for my uses. -need a better audio copy board. If you hit record a second time after recording something great, you will loose it and have no way of getting it back. The existence of audio copy is fantastic but I think it needs to be expanded. I'm not holding the lack of virtual midi against virsyn because they (as far as I know) have not claimed any plans for virtual midi, but between lack of a hold button and lack of support link is something I think addictive micro should loose a half star for. There is some serious competition for synth apps lately and addictive microSynth blows all the pocket sized synths away. In a climate where the animoog breaks out at .99$, it's near impossible to impress analogue synth fanatics. Addictive micro does what many others have only scratched the surface of (not to name names). I am a huge fan of addictive and now addictive micro and am looking forward to updates from virsyn. ### 4/5 — Doesnt work in FL/iaa *2024-06-01* Dude....PLEASE fix the AUM/IAA support issue...half screen no sound etc...Im surprised that someone who can make such awesome apps as you have doesnt maintain an payed app as potentially awesome as this one...? ### 4/5 — MICROS SYNTH *2015-12-20* c'est vrais du gros bons sons . Mais heureusement que c'est pas le meilleur si non c'est avec ce Synth que tout le monde composerais l'heur musique . Mais pour quelqu'un qui n'a pas trop d'argent et bien oui on peut en naitre fière et heureux de l'avoir connue .Pour un micro synthé on peut faire de grosses choses avec .Est aussi avec son arp trop fore . ### 4/5 — Porky *2012-08-19* Really great synth but 2 things its lacking is a click when you're recording I had to creat my own with a simple patch, and the biggest and most important feature that its missing is a. + & - buttons on the tempo because setting up the right BPM with the dial is almost impossible but other than that its a great app with an almost Waldorf sound to it. Please ad these 2 features on your next update and it would be 6 star app! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Sieht gut aus und klingt gut *2021-01-01* Was ich für vertrauenswürdig halte ist, dass die Werte unterhalb des Buttons erscheinen. Mein Finger deckt diesen Wert aber ab. Schlecht zu sehen. ### 5/5 — アイポン最強シンセ *2016-03-23* 音作りのしやすさと深さ、そして分厚い音質。アイポンシンセで最強の部類 ### 5/5 — Tiny powerhouse *2015-12-28* Great music app. It might seem like a “tiny” app compared to some of the other larger and more expensive music apps, but this is a very useful little powerhouse. Great on an iPhone or iPad. ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2015-12-25* Very good! ### 5/5 — Great iPhone version with warm tones and sequences *2014-04-25* There's always the risk with buying these "little brother" versions of iPad synths that the developer will neglect the iPhone version. But I like phone apps for portability (and they are often 1/3 the price). Also since this app has Virtual MIDI, you can control it with your favorite pad/chord/scale MIDI app. Still, I found the selection of scales/modes fun to control within the app. The sounds out of Addictive microSynth are some of my favorite synth sounds on iPhone. I'm no pro at designing synth sounds from scratch, so it was nice to find presets that sounded full, warm, and musical as opposed to the collection of weird avant garde presets that populate other synths. Even the 4-track looper, which I usually ignore in favor of a DAW, was convenient enough to make me want to use it. You can create loops with 2-4 layers and then playback through AB into your recording software. It's a great synth for a very fair price. ### 5/5 — Grosser *2014-04-13* kleiner, wohlklingender Synth. ### 5/5 — AWESOME APP!!!! *2013-11-22* I really LOVE the synth. The only wish for Micro version is to have it on Inter-App Audio as the ''big brother'' is now. Thanks in advance! :D ### 5/5 — Fetter Sound! *2013-10-29* Sehr gute Soundsynthese! Damit kann man wirkliche krasse Loops und fantastische Atmosphären schaffen! Update: Endlich ein Update nach über 1 1/2 Jahren! Das Teil klingt einfach super! Dank AudioBus Support und 4" jetzt wieder 5 Sterne! ### 5/5 — オカルト動画のサントラ作りには最適（笑） *2013-02-10* 各音色毎にアルペジエーターを作成、オーバーダビングを繰り返しながら楽曲を作成していく《figure》や《iKaossilator》に類似したコンセプトのシンセアプリ。 大変残念なのが、リズムパターンさえあれば《figure》や《iKaossilator》ですら凌駕できた可能性もある事。 ちなみに、GlissandoをOFFにしたままXYパッドのような操作でオーバーダビングを繰り返すと、全てオカルト映画のサントラになってしまうので要注意（笑） ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2012-10-22* It's possible to create some really deep sounds with this wavetable synth, the presets give you some good examples of what can be achieved but the real fun comes from playing around with the wave tabs and the built in arpeggiator...recommended!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
