This is advertised as an analog synth but few if any other synths will generate such satisfying FM sounds without a greater investment of cost and time. The controls are simple but offer a wide range of sonic possibility. A programmable arp sequencer pushes the worth well past the price. ### 5/5 — Don't pass this by. *2014-07-15* This has proved to be a very versatile synth, specially with the updates. The vox and granular options are excellent. Works very well with virtual midi sequencers and within AudioBus. You may be surprised at the depth of sound available from one screen. Only has a few presets at present but it is very easy to tweak and save your own. All-in-all a very nice app. ### 5/5 — Nice Synth !!! *2013-11-19* Very rich analogue like sound,. versatile & lovely new UI 💙 ### 5/5 — Egsy01 *2013-11-15* Ce synthe devient de plus en plus interessant!!!le dev est hallucinant!il deborde d'envie.vraiment bien.et je pense que ce nEST PAS FINI. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Needs an update…crashes on launch *2023-06-17* I’d say after 4 years it’s definitely time for an update ….either that or remove it from the App Store. I have many of the developers other apps and love most of them but this one hasn’t been shown any love in 4 years. I’m not asking for any new features…just that it works. At this point it just crashes on launch for me. **Developer response:** Update has come! Thanks for your feedback! ### 1/5 — Outrageously expensive ... *2014-02-21* this is just a very basic synth - nothing new to offer sound average at best, limited capability and afraid to say boring - indeed it was my choice to pay £5 for it - you would feel short changed even at a fifth of this price! avoid or find something much more capable at this price! ### 2/5 — Keeps crashing! Give me my $5 back! *2016-08-09* I like the synth, but it does not work properly. How do i get a refund? ### 2/5 — Not up to par *2014-06-21* Though it looks decent, this is a seriously underperforming synth. Hardly and features and some of the flattest sounding wave forms I've ever tried to program with. Skip it and buy Sunrizer if you want the absolute best analog emulation. ### 3/5 — Latest release broken *2018-06-21* Can only open the oscillators face plate. Oscillator faceplate responds as well as keyboard and preset selection. Settings will not open. I hope another update is on the way soon. **Developer response:** Hi, if you're using the iPhone version actually the toolbar is a slider, and you need to slide over it to change panel.

Is this a bug or did it get removed? ### 4/5 — Simple, functional universal synth *2014-09-29* I actually purchased this to complete a bundle after owning his EGDR808 app, which I like. This synth has a small file size and is relatively straightforward. Most of the sounds are 80's/FM sounding and I found them to be pretty good. The synthesis is not as deep as you would find in other popular apps, it could have used some more presets, and the control knobs can be difficult to use. On the plus side, it has a scale-based keyboard which is a useful function, and it can be MIDI controlled. This is a nice alternative synth if you are looking for another option. ### 5/5 — Nach Update 3.2.1 funktioniert das Programm wieder *2023-08-09* Nach dem heutigen Update funktioniert auch der Wechsel von der Sequenzeroberfläche zur LFO, FM bzw. VOX Nutzeroberfläche wieder. Vielen Dank für die schnelle Umsetzung des erst am Montag gemeldeten Fehlers. Das nenne ich mal einen super Support !!!! **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! The update with the fix has just been submitted! ### 5/5 — A good sounding synth *2021-10-13* I found this powerful app quite by accident, so I headed over to YouTube/SoundTestRoom and watched Doug’s demos, and that was it, I was hooked. When EGSY01 is controlled by automation in Cubasis3 it becomes an extremely powerful expressive synth, I am so glad I bought it and I encourage others to buy it too if they are interested in creating awesome sci-fi-ish Ozric Tentacles style spacy presets. Select the “Soi Dead Can’t Dance” preset, tap the Vox tab on the left screen border to flip the ADSR panel and adjust the Vowel slider whilst playing and you can make it talk👌👍 ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Nasty in a good way *2018-11-20* UPDATE: still grate! I’ve had this app for a while and it’s got a very unique sound. Great for noisy edgy loops. Recent updates and AUv3 are extra spice! Good one!! ### 5/5 — Dark Beast Rises *2018-06-26* This synth has lots of grit and growl and has a unique sound from all other synths. The formant filters make it banshee eerie possible. And now in AUv3 it is a great sound tool to have. ### 5/5 — Sounds even better with updates *2018-06-20* Powerful little overlooked synth can pack a bite and now AU compatible! Recommended. ### 5/5 — Unable To Use Top Buttons *2018-05-15* The presets sound great but I am unable to change to different panels. The buttons do not respond. edit: turns out I just needed to slide! **Developer response:** Hi, if you're using the iPhone version you actually that's a slider, and youneed to slide over it to change panel.

Kudos to Red Sky Lullaby! 海外では一部で名器（名アプリ？)と知られてるが日本ではレビューが一もないなんて… 素晴らしいシンセです。iPhone5sでも余裕でプレイできる ANIMOOGのような鍵盤も良い ### 5/5 — Fm monster like no other *2016-01-22* If you like full on destruction and sounds that break the rules ....spend some quality time with my favorite FM synth!The iPad is my synth lab on the go ! And this guy (the developer)really cares about making the loaded iPad the ultimate host for amazing synths like this little gem! Which if you haven't had the pleasure of exploring it's totally amazing interface..then do yourself a favor and grab this one as quick as you can! Amazing ! Fm synths on the iPad are shamed by this little beast that has some quirks like the saving method ..but the tonal character of this synth is worth it BIG TIME!peace christo ### 5/5 — Love but how do I record and save? *2015-10-12* Bought the bundle pack, amazing app. Just have no option to save or record.please help ### 5/5 — thank you *2015-09-18* thank you to the dev who fixed the bug of 64 bits devices and issued the update (bug fixed) in the appstore within 24h.
