Bad signal

Pls pls fix the Bad Signal and audio drop outs in AUM as I can’t trust to use it for live performances and it’s sonically my fav synth so I’m very frustrated

Crashes after a few seconds

The app stops making sound after a few seconds of playing. internal keyboard or external keyboard. iPad speakers or headphones it doesn’t seem to matter.

Promising but falls short on bugs

Great sounds, lovely workflow unfortunately I keep getting “bad signal” messages in AUM and sound is cutting out which kind of takes the joy out of it. Hope they iron out the bugs.

It's great but..

Sonically wonderfsynth - but that forgot to implement any kind of midi learn feature which is a real drawback.
