Incredible vibraphone emulation

This app really sounds like a vibraphone ended up liking it so much that I spent the extra money to unlock the Tremelo. I use this all the time in my lounge gig this developer does excellent work.

Wow.

This is wonderful. . Love the soft to hard mallet control. And the mode to switch between normal and sustained sound is awesome. MIDI works well for quick experiments with apps like Xynthesizer. Great work!
