I also slept on this for too long…

I’ve been looking for a synth with a breadth of possible tones,lots of modulations, but also well designed for the iPad screen not just a porting over of a synth. The modulation matrix is a dream and the variety is endless. Grab it while it’s on sale if you can, and if you can’t just grab it anyway….

Doesn't respond to standard iOS gestures, like swiping up to swap apps.

As the title says, I had to swip down to get to notifications, just to open another app. That the app doesn't follow standard iOS UI norms is ridiculous.

Loading presets into Factory

How do I download presets bought on Gumroad into the synth ?

Great great synth app

Crashes often lately
Hope somebody can check it out
It loses audio…<-and I have to restart it in stand alone

Correct the program crash at the start

iOS 18.1 does not start the program. Correct

One star

Why didn’t we get the autumn sale?

Please, you’re Sugar Bytes!

Not Aiken Maltipedia!

Coolest mini-synthesizer!

I used to own a Micro Moog and found it to be one of the best synthesizers out there but the factory is the coolest synthesizer ever I love all the sound effects and presets!

Such almighty power💥 speakers beware!

I never knew how powerful this synth was until I took the plunge and paid the £24.99, at first I thought that was a bit excessive until I realised what it is capable of. The morphing slider recorder is fantastic for operating many parameters at the same time.
Money well spent I say 👍

Mr Fiddly McDoodle here.

It feels dark, desperate, lush and lush. Why did you say it twice? I love Lush.

Ohne Strippen!

Dafür alleine sollte es schon 5 Sterne geben. Aber die Umsetzung mit den Pins, die gleichzeitig dieVerbindung definieren und zusätzlich den Amount eder Modulation. Erste Sahne. Jetzt noch was mit MPE draufpacken und es gibt 6 Sterne. Ach ja, die Sounds sind prima.

Fantastico

Uno dei migliori soft sint mai provati. Veloce, intuitivo, matrice di modulazione MODULABILE! Che dire ogni intervento genera bellezza! Bravi continuate cosi!

Wow

What an amazing, powerful synth. I love melodic/beautiful sounds, so it is surprising how much this noise machine has fascinated me. Of course, you can produce ‘nice’ tones here, but that’s not Factory’s real strength, rather it practically baits you to creating evolving, morphing soundscapes full of sharp edges and excitement. Recommended.

Sehr guter Synth

Wie eigentlich alles von diesem Entwickler absoluter Spaß.

Sounds Amazing

Absolutely packed with amazing modulation options, I especially love the randomiser and shifting. The morph function is also great. Perfect synth for everything from weird sequences, to bass, to wobbly bass, to FX, to deep leads. Very good sound quality.

Good Grief…

This is such any amazing sounding synth. Lovely presets are paired with a fantastic preset management system; always a wonderful plus. Really all I can say is buy it: Factory is a powerhouse.

My forgotten synth - fixing that now.

Seen a few reviews where this is also their forgotten synth, and perhaps that’s given the Devs some time to refine it. Dominated by the big central matrix (double-tap to make an instance of something, slide up or down over it to increase or reduce the influence or magnitude of that). I think ‘modular’ is enjoying a resurgence, in the virtual synth music world? Don’t have to clutter hardware all over the place nor burn the planet, makes sense.

I cannot vouch for how ‘modular’ it is, but one notable point is that when operating the mod wheel, some patches have shedloads of nodes in that big matrix, swelling and shrinking in real-time. This I take it means multiple different oscillator functions etc can be hooked up to the mod wheel, and the resulting change, much more rich and varied. So, it rightly gets 5 stars from many, including me. And, Sugar Bytes are a well-respected and veteran developer, it so happens I have multiple of their offerings and they do take issues seriously.

A sound factory indeed, it’s up there with the best I think.

Awesome

Another great sounding and inspirational synth from Sugar Bytes

Awesome Synth App - Wish the Interface was Hi Rez

Very well done app. Features and sounds are fantastic. I have had the pro version for a couple years now and very satisfied. Only thing really holding it back in my opinion is the resolution of the interface doesn’t hold up on the iPad display. Interface design is great but graphics look pixelated. Might be a nitpick, but there is a reason why these screens are High Resolution. Please update =). Thanks!

Fantastic App!

This is my favourite iOS synth app.
I love it in every way except for one thing.
PLEASE FIX the problem that causes notes to stick sometimes.
It’s a sad thing that it does this because otherwise I could use it for recording and live with confidence.
Please do this for us.
