GarageBand auv3 internal keyboard on iPad issue again - no sound

Love Harry Gohs apps - but auv3 issues in GarageBand unless I’m misunderstanding something there’s no sound while playing internal keyboard on iPad - please help me understand/ or fix - and it’ll be 5 star rating I’m sure - thank you.

One more excellent app from Virsyn!

One more synth from Virsyn but different. I just love what I can do with this one!

Another entry in VirSyn's must-own lineup

I will readily confess that I own far more synth apps than I realistically need or use. But if I were tasked with actually picking a synth or two to actually create some music, Cube Synth (or any of the VirSyn synths) would be an excellent choice.

Cube Synth may actually be my least favorite of the (now) 4 VirSyn products, but it's still easily a 5-star product. The great thing about VirSyn apps is that they are friendly to the most obsessive sound designers ever, or somebody completely ignorant (or trying to learn) that wants huge libraries of varied sounds without having to make them from scratch. I'm probably more in the latter camp :)

The sounds in Cube Synth are rich and powerful. Aboslutely love the "dice" button which randomizes synthesis settings and creates a brand new preset on the spot (which you can save if you like it). How cool is that? The master effects suite is top-notch, and best of all the VirSyn apps take up virtually no storage space and work with everything. You'll regret some of your app purchases, but not this one.

Simply Amazing Sounds!

I just picked up Cube, I had dithered about it, but it is really amazing! Capable of so many great sounds. One of the things I dont think I had appreciated is that it doesnt just cross fade between each corner of the "cube" but it morphs between them. So set a different pitch on one corner and you can get pitch slides, set (and this is reaaly cool) different filter profiles in each corner, with up to six control points, and it can morph between these arbitrary filter shapes at will! So you can set up traditional resonant filter sweeps but so much more, like morphing between formant shapes for vocal sounds. One preset has a very narrow filter that sweeps, picking out each harmonic as it does so, producing a cascade like effect. All very cool, and unique as far as I know.Definitely recommended.

Deep

Very deep editing features and great sounding sound. Not just another subtractive synth. You can program the x y envelopes to make your sounds morph or turn them off and freestyle morph. The effects and arp are great as well. This would be a great synth in any form but the fact that it's on my ipad makes it truly great.

Great synth

I keep returning to it ...a good sign

Superb!

Very versatile and superb synth.

First Impression - Nice!

Presets are much more organic than your standard subtractive. I find this one a bit cumbersome to program and it is difficult to develop patches that don't have that additive "buzzy" sound to them, but I'm giving five stars based on the fact that the envelope control is outstanding and totally innovative. Also, the arpeggiator, like the one in Addictive Synth, is especially nice.

Cube

This Synth has deep control for evolving pad sounds.

Disappointed

I am a big fan of Addictive Synth and had high hopes for Cube. However I find it very hard to use. I spent 15 minutes trying to find LFO settings to no avail. LFO depth knobs apply a static parameter offset. Trying to load "analog" waveform presets does nothing. Very strange experience... VirSyn, you can do much better.

Keep Em coming

You guts at virsyn are amazing,it's truly great to work with your software. I hope all of your apps make it iOS eventually.

Good concept, average sounds

I like Virsyn's Addictive Synth and AudioReverb, and bought this new synth right away. Theoretically, this should be a great instrument for evolving pads. In practice, though, I found the presets disappointing -- and there are a lot in the pad category. Maybe that's my fault for not taking the time to learn the instrument and program it to my liking. And if there were only five other synth apps in the app store, I would do that. But in my opinion, this is something to buy after you've already tried Sunrizer, Nave, Animoog, or Thor. You could argue that Cube is ahead of those other synths conceptually. (I'm not sure you would win, but you could argue it.) To my ears, though, the other synths sound smoother and, at the same time, more sinewy. I'm open to changing my mind, but for now I'm giving it four stars: good but not elite. They are fixing bugs, which is a good sign.

detune

this synth is very cool. i wish there was a way to get microtonal tuning, not just semitone, differences between the four oscillators.

still, very, very cool. many excellent sounds in here.

Roll Dem Bones

Till it get's Good To Ya!

Great port of one of my favorite Desktop soft synths. Some of the presets are curiously bland; a few dice rolls later, not so much. Cube Synth excels in the are of evolving soundscapes. Great for soundtrack-in-your-mind type stuff, and that's before you through it under the AudioBus...

A Brilliant Port on an old fave!

Thanks Virsyn for porting this excellent synth to the iPAD. The manual controlling in the 2D envelope section is just so much fun. You have the dice for variations in just the right spots. The programming is so intuitive. This is a great synth that can almost get you physical modelled type of sounds.I am really enjoying just playing and saving new patches. Virtual MIDI would be a great addition.

Stunning

Another great app from VirSyn continuing their quality developments. This has some brilliant features and sounds superb. Love it. Love it.

Off The Charts Mind Blowing

In a world full of ios synths … this just jumped right to the top. OMG amazing! I was blown away by Animoog, Nave and WaveMapper and thought it could get no better … I was wrong!

Wowee!

Just a fantastic synth. Easy to use and some great sounds. Only bought this a little while ago but I can see this being in the most used synths I have. Lovely vocal and arp effects. Another winner from Virsyn.
