Background Audio Fails
I was fortunate. I came across my screenshot reminder of Dagger Synth. I looked it up in the App Store and it was on sale! 2/3 off. :-) So far only background audio play doesn’t work (Yes, I enabled in in Dagger Synth.). It would be nice if you could zoom the app or at least make the control labels darker and readable on an iPhone. Otherwise, I’m still exploring but very happy it doesn’t require AUM (or the like).
Having to step through all settings for a multiple position switch is uncomfortable forcing the musicians to make undesirable sounds! Seriously?

Muffled saws
Could be amazing but the sawtooths are too muffled. Try making a brass with this….all the high brassy content is sucked out resulting in a dull sound. It’s bigger brother Zeeon is a lot better in this aspect.
Quick & Spicy analog style 2 osc synth
I’ve really grown to like Dagger a lot.
I’ve had it for a few weeks now, and BeepStreet have done an excellent job on this.
It’s very quick to dial in a sound, or tweak a preset.
The variation in tones from the different filter types allows for excellent tone shaping options without a lot of fuss.
- Don’t sleep on Spice mode on the Hi-Pass Filter! -
Pre-filter & post-filter over drive circuits go from fattening to gnarly. I love the way it gets really gritty in chord mode (polyphonic).
Modulation options are pretty lean, but are well thought out to give you enough variation, without cluttering up the GUI or workflow.
There are no onboard effects. I’m OK with that because I’m often using it in AUM or Cubasis where I can add my favourite effects. But if a basic modulation, delay, reverb appears in an update… that could be handy for live usage, or preset sound design.
In conclusion, Dagger Synth isn’t an in depth powerhouse workstation synth, but an has a distinct voice that is excellent option for bass, lead lines, and comp keys. It’s a very valuable instrument in my toolkit.

analog sound but a little muffled
One of the few synths on iOS with analog sound. Minimalistic but not as limited as it look and It indeed cuts through the mix thanks to the punchy zero delay filters, even though the oscillators sound rather muffled and smothered.
Doesn’t Work
IOS 17.7 Doesn’t show up in either AUM or Cubasis. All my other Beepstreet apps do. Waste of money for me :(
Update:Works after rebooting my iPad so 5 stars 👍
