ENTIRELY USELESS?

I have purchased this application before and used it a fair amount of times when it worked, but now it has been rendered useless and unusable. I cannot count the amount of times I clicked on the application just for it to give me a blank screen for a second then crash. I simply cannot use this app at all, I expect this issue to be fixed as soon as possible, considering that I am not the only one who is experiencing this given that these complaints are years old and they have yet to receive a simple reply from the creator.

Please Fix

Great concept but crashes all the time. Please fix.

Too bad

Constantly crashes. Can’t even open it as stand alone. Waited some time for updates but no luck.

Doesn’t work

Don’t bother buying this. Can’t even get it to open.

Great app but frustrating crash events.

[“ Outstanding instrument. Just great. The issue is the constant crashing. I keep thinking that a OS update or a app update to axon will fix it but Ive had the same issue with it for years now. It crashes when saving presets or switching presets. Pretty bad when youre working on a elaborate creation and it crashes when you go to save. Im shocked this has not been fixed. I could use a working axon over a facelift to Eos or upgrades and facelifts to Roughrider. Please fix this app.”]

Constant crashes

I was able to open this as a stand-alone maybe 3 times before it crashed HARD and refused to ever open again.
It’s not much more stable as a plug-in. Using it in AUM it crashes when saving a preset. It crashes if you resize the window too many times. Sometimes it just quits for no reason.
It also doesn’t seem to respect state saving half the time and opens on the obnoxious Default setting... which might be no big deal if you could save or load your presets without it crashing.

Love it, but it crashes a lot.

Excellent work, but when switching between presets to choose one it will crash, if they’re playing. It’s also crashed while making changes to an existing preset before I was able to save it. This is very frustrating. Otherwise this is the best design idea for what I do. Please solve this soon. It deserves a 5 star rating.

New favorite!

No glitching on this end, other than the kind I want. Running 6 instances in AUM without so much as a hiccup on 10.5” iPad Pro. I never thought anything would ever compete with Ruismaker, but the sequencer and delay effects push this over the top for me. Another stellar app from the AD crew. Can’t wait to pair this with Enso, whenever it debuts.

Just crashes

On iPad Pro 11”. Some testing would have been nice

Now it’s up to AudioDamage standards

Been waitin a long time to get the midi fixed, and now it’s awesome... just use it as a midi sequencer, the fm engine is 😖

Something not right

Interesting app. The sounds are cool and I love the presets. The controls are responsive sometimes and other times unresponsive. When I relaunch, they seem to work again...Makes me wonder if I'm not doing something right. I can't seem to get the nodes to connect sometimes and it takes several pushes of some buttons to active sometimes and not others. It's making getting to grips with this app quite frustrating. One of my fav developers so I hope there are some updates. Thanks!

This...

Is the only Audio Damage app that has been plagued by consistent problems. The MIDI was fixed, but AU in AUM and apeMatrix crashes within 15 seconds of start time, and using the IAA ...well it just goes haywire when trying to program sounds.

It's a lot of fun, but beware functionality on this one. Very unlike the company to put out faulty stuff.

Too difficult....

This is probably the most unintuitive and difficult drum app I’ve ever bought. If there’s any app that should come with a manual, this one should but it doesn’t. I’ve spent over an hour trying to produce more than one sound and still don’t know where this app is coming from. Aside from the included presets , I find this app a complete killer of creativity, making music just should not be this difficult. I have ever iOS app Audio Damage put out, but this is a major killjoy for me. Sorry, but I would not recommend this app to anyone.

Please add Automation and randomization

Please add the ability to record the movements of turning the knobs and changing parameters for each of the main seven nodes while playing. And a randomization button would be great, thank you

Issues/wishlist

Cool dm
Missing link, audiobus, "swing" per node afaict, documentation (found on web)
Issues with touch when setting network

Very unique idm glitch drums

Amazing fm synthesis that is very different to me in the way it unifies all the synth drum tones magically somehow. Something about the 1 osc mainframe brain or network? The sounds can be so strange yet clear and trippy. It reminds me of 'different drummer app', in that it seems so deep and unique with a life all its own. This sick drum synth app and their other (pure synth) app 'phosphor' have solidified their brilliance. I this company and can sense their rather mad hatter time warping sensibilities. Axon technology seems to be based on a psyonic Crystalized core fragment spinning percussively inside with non-organically digitalized fractal sound frames. Then you realize that there is midi working well and you are on the moon.
