Disappointing - no sound

This appears useless. The interface is OKish, but there’s no sound on my iPad Pro. Not an inducement to “upgrade” even for only £1.99.

I hope the developer will get this working on the latest iOS, then I might change this review.

Look elsewhere

Seems very limited. I don't like the keys becoming coloured when pressed. Initial impressions were not good and first few sounds before I deleted it were very basic.

Retro...

Simple retro style mono synth, that has always worked ok. One of my first apps. Worth a couple of pounds for the full version. There are more complex synths available, some more, some less in price, but this is a nice emulation of a basic (they were all pretty basic back then) mid 70’s synth.
