I use it to recreate sounds from my singing monsters

Most incredible sounds

This is probably the most incredible sounding synth I own, hardware or software. Love it. Buy it. But, it seems to have stopped opening standalone, only AUv3 works? Leaving this comment in the hope the devs see it as it’s lovely standalone!

Consistent otherworldly music

I wouldn’t have any idea how to make these kinds of sounds with any other app. 5 year user.

Merci

Un grand merci aux développeurs car c est mon meilleur outil pour les Arts Sonores . Je m en suis servi pour un Hommage à Pierre Schaeffer ! J attends du nouveau….mais bravo .

INSTANT FILM/TV TEXTURES

The manual was too techy for me to really understand even though I’m a power user. Luckily the synth itself is quite intuitive and encourages exploration. Within minutes I made a murky, lo-fi soundtrack-ish patch that I wanted to save. Not sure if I’m ready to drop 30 bux for the save function but I’m not disappointed in the ease of use and clever design here. They’ve hid a lot of the less-needed parameters so you can get started right away. And it sounds excellent no matter what random moves you make. I like it.
