Simply genius

I have this app on my iPad as well as the android version on my phone. I like the theme design and the sounds it makes.

Response from developer

Thanks for having DRC on both your iPad and phone! Glad the theme and the sounds are landing well for you. Really appreciate you taking the time to write this 🙏

You will be amazed…

if you’ve never tried DRC before. Superb alive and thick-sounding synth. Loads of YouTube tutorials. Buy it!

Wahrscheinlich mein ein letzter Synthesizer…

In den letzten Jahren gab es ja schon sehr interessante Apps (MS 20, Mono/Poly etc) aber der DCR schlägt sie meines Erachtens nach Alle! Die Filter sind wirklich großartig, die puristische Benutzeroberfläche ein Traum. Schon lange hatte ich bei meiner Klangforschung nicht mehr so viel Spaß. Der Preis ist nicht der Rede wert :-)

Response from developer

Vielen Dank für diesen unglaublichen Vergleich! Zu hören, dass der DRC für dich Apps wie den MS-20 und Mono/Poly schlägt, bedeutet uns sehr viel, besonders die Filter und die puristische Oberfläche, genau diese Balance haben wir angestrebt. Es freut mich sehr, dass er wieder so viel Spaß in deine Klangforschung bringt. Danke, dass du dir die Zeit für diese Bewertung genommen hast 🙏

Sounds incredible

This is one of the best-sounding soft synths I’ve ever heard. For me, it’s up there with DIVA. It sounds so warm and alive.

Despite a seemingly simple interface, the range of tones you can coax from this synth is expansive and wildly varied (as evidenced by the fantastic preset packs).

I think some of the UI choices are questionable (like those buttons for choosing semitone tuning) but that’s a very minor gripe and one that doesn’t detract much from the sheer awesomeness of this synth.

The fact that it’s available on iOS as well as Mac is just 👌🏻

Don’t sleep on it!

Response from developer

Thank you very much for your amazing review and for giving DRC 5 stars! We actually do have plans for a UI refactor of DRC so let’s see if we manage to make it happen! =) We work hard to make DRC sound as good as possible, and reviews like this motivate us to keep working even harder!

A good app

I like this app. I redownloaded it after I bought it years ago and it’s better than it was before. I like some of the sounds. They’re good.
