Zero stars - not AUv3

I was so looking forward to using this app. Unfortunately, it failed to be recognized as an audio unit inside Cubasis3 or AUM. A total waste of time, I’m sorry to say. If this is fixed, I’ll reconsider adding it to my iOS musicsphere and updating my review. Already deleted.

AUV3 is currently broken

The app hasn’t been updated in a long while. It’s last release left an unsolved problem with AUV3. If you add a second Aphelian MIDI instance in AUM, the second one will not start, with or without a synth connected, and regardless of the MIDI channel settings. I’ll change my rating and review to 4-5 stars if this is ever corrected.

So cool...

...I forgot to eat for a truly impressive length of time.
Just get this, it’s better than legal 🌿.

Simply one of the best!!

This app is so amazing! And the great commitment from the development team is an example to follow for other developers. Always improving and updating. I wish there were more tutorials, but just by simply playing and experimenting with the vast possibilities can be greatly surprising and fun! Outstanding app!

New arp mode AUDIO UNIT so much fun can‘t wait for sequencer update

Was looking for this on a sale to try it out and it came at the right time now that the 1st part of the auv3 -arp is here- I can only imagine the fun and results to be had when the auv3 sequence mode is available. I had a blast with this throughout the weekend and the non auv3- stand-alone mode is fantastic from a musician standpoint and very aesthetically pleasing. Glad you can customize the color scheme to your liking. Looking forward to Aphelian Labs future updates and releases. Thanks for this dev/s! This definitely will be getting a lot of use from me!
