Das Bessere ist der Feind des Guten

Das Konzept ist genial, auch wenn ich erst an der Oberfläche kratze. Audiobus und AUM sind zwar nicht automatisch durch apeMatrix wertlos geworden, ihr Gebrauch relativiert sich mit Erscheinen dieser App jedoch sehr. Eines der innovativsten apps der letzten Jahre!
Nachtrag: wenn man mal nicht mehr weiter weiß (die Dokumentation ist schon etwas sehr kurz), hilft einem ape sehr schnell mit zweckdienlichen Hinweisen weiter!

Rock solid until recently

Please fix multi-outs, and compatbility with fabfilter plugins. When these worked, this app was ***** five stars

Augenzerstörer

Die Farben/Kombinationen sind eine Katastrophe. Est stehen 4 zur Auswahl, eine schlechter wie die andere. Habe leider keine gefunden, mit der ich die Arbeitsfläche ohne Kopfschmerzen anschauen kann. Apple hat wie auch immer eine Rückgabe abgelehnt. Somit wietere App, die ich zwar bezahlt habe, aber nicht benutzen kann.

This app! Apematrix, is not just an app! Its a divine blessing from the mount olympus!

This app will change the course of history, that time isnt that far away! sorry AUM and AB(respect to you both)

But Apematrix, is like, i’d like to describe as

“None quite so equal, none will ever be”
This is food for the gods!

The dev, is an absolute blessing for this shallow earth!

One of the Best…

…playgrounds for iOS musicmaking-experience. The more you learn it, the more you love it. Really clever how you can gather AUs on the MATRIX, join them in versatile and different connections and modulate everone of them via the app own LFOs and MIDI-bindings. Once you have a SETUP you like, connect it further to AUM or a DAW, fantastic!
