It works on my M-audio keyboard controller, old as that is. Does it also work on the EDIROL midi keyboard pcr-50 please ? ### 3/5 — Achei interessante *2022-11-21* Assim que aprender volto aqui mas parece legal ### 3/5 — Ok, but… *2022-09-20* In generell the sound is not to bad, but especially if you play higher notes it sounds like a Toy. In my ears it sounds thin and instruments don‘t have enough power. ### 3/5 — Really good organ sounds but AU3 problems. *2022-06-25* Great sounds but it doesn’t work with GarageBand as an AU extension instrument on either my SE iphone or iPad, both iOS 15.5. Only sporadic sounds produced. It doesn’t work on my phone as inter-app audio instrument either - complete fails to load. **Developer response:** Hello! We test frequently with GarageBand, so everything should be working well. If you are still having issues, please contact us via our support page, www.yonac.com/support Thanks! - The Yonac Team ### 3/5 — Not as good a sound as the original, but some added features are good. *2021-11-13* There is a BIG difference in the Leslie simulation. Galileo 2’s is very thin and unrealistic compared to 1’s. Even stacking 2 rotaries in the FX chain doesn’t compare. I do like the tiny diagrams representing the drawbars on your presets, but ultimately, the sound is what we buy this app for. ### 4/5 — No sound in GarageBand *2021-07-18* Сам по себе звучит отлично. Но когда подцепляешь как AU в Garageband, звук то есть, то нет (большую часть времени нет) UPD: методом тыка в конце концов удалось получить звук в GB. Надо зайти в Expert / MIDI и в NOTE IN CH выставить для нужного регистра OMNI ### 3/5 — Good but Leslie needs improving *2020-11-17* Galileo 2 is a great app with all the features you would want for emulating an organ, with one critical exception. The Leslie / rotary sims (both the default and IAP ones) are so disappointing. They are weak and phasey. Please Yonac, let us use the Leslie in Galileo 1, it was really authentic and you got that air-flowing feel! With that included, this would be a truly fantastic app as everything else is top notch. ### 5/5 — Over writing Default Map *2020-03-10* When I over write that file, and I change the instrument or come back, Default Map stays original file....Sucking with a FC 300 Roland. When Galileo 3 in France?.. ### 5/5 — Better than most soft organs *2020-02-23* My opinion is a lot of reviewers do not have an experience with a real Hammond organ and Leslie. If you use the presets then it is disappointing because of the reverb and the other effects. So what I did is get the organ basics effects unit and programmed myself about 4 patches representing the organ and amp setups I would use Then I used 2 controllers each with faders that I use das drawbar controls. Got myself a midi expression pedal that I for volume control. I also programmed the favorite drawbar combos I need and use the controller’s buttons for my drawbar favorites Regarding the FX, use the graphic EQ to tame the sometimes brittle sounds that come out of the high harmonic settings. And finally a small tube preamp that I have before hitting the amps. Between the drawbar, the vibrato/chorus control, the percussion and lastly, the organ volume plus the rotary... you can get away with a lot. You may also have to play with your controllers keybed control which usually are piano oriented. The Arturia Keylab Controllers are my favorite to use. For portability, I also use the small Arturia Keystep controllers and the Korg Nanocontrol for my drawbar or Is just use the notes on the C0 octave and pre program you drawbar combos and assign accordingly. Like with any iPad synths using the touch keyboard is frustrating, so I almost always just use an external keyboard. One thing nice is the addition of an arpeggiator. My only complain is they key hold affects both. Now I am able to cheat my bass lines by running an arp on the lower manual. For 14 bucks, you can’t go wrong. I heard the Hammond iPad organ is the real deal but Galileo is not too far behind. Well this one definitely beats the Logic Pro version and many others. I am definitely not using my Korg CX3. I was afraid this would stutter or conk out but it worked flawlessly. But I kept things simple just like how a Hammond is set up. ### 5/5 — Totally cool. *2020-02-23* Incredible app! Fantastic Hammond sounds and versatility for almost nothing. Have two controller keyboards attached for each manual, control the Leslie through the keyboards’ mod wheel, and draw bars in iPad screen. So much fun! ### 5/5 — This is how to make an App *2020-02-19* It would be difficult to find an iOS Music App that represents better value than Galileo 2. It sounds incredible and is so very well designed and thought out. It works flawlessly in all my DAW’s and has a stunning set of presets - for such a low price. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — app not working in AUM and Connect apps! *2023-12-30* this app not working in AUM and Connect apps! Pls fix your products! Roxsyn and Organ not working in AUM!!!! ### 1/5 — I wasted money on this app. Poor sound and interface *2022-11-27* Promised much, delivered little. Just buy the Hammond BX3 app instead. It is worth the extra money ### 1/5 — Not good *2022-05-31* In GarageBand you push the keys it plays once then stops push 4 more time then it plays again one time please fix this **Developer response:** Hello! Please visit our support page so we can help you troubleshoot your issues. It's www.yonac.com/support Thanks! - The Yonac Team ### 1/5 — Ashamed *2022-03-12* Ok sonyou pay an app and yous must pay to have all the great sound and effects (like the rotary )for this organ…its a shame An organ at15€ without rotary…seriously An organ without rotary is not an organ… Very disapointed . ### 1/5 — What’s up with the AU and IAA failures? *2021-11-05* This app is killer. Dynamic and responsive. It sounds as good as if not better than any other organ simulator out there… that is it used to before it started having issues loading up as IAA and AU. For months, if not years, there have been consistent inconsistencies where depending on the host app being used Galileo v2 doesn’t seem to want to load up - for awhile in AUM it would load up as an IAA for about 1/10th of a second and then crash. AU version would work, but now that seems to be gone also. Maybe it’s my iPad Pro or maybe I’ve got something setup in a way that the app doesn’t agree with. But if that’s the case it’s pretty universal to every AU hosting app I’m accustom to - used to use it in iMPC PRO2 but that hasn’t worked for a long time either. It would be great to get some confirmation that there is or is not an issue with the app or maybe the problem is with the hosting apps or if it’s just me. Otherwise there’s no way of knowing wether this is a fixable issue to a great app or if it’s a lost cause. **Developer response:** Please visit our support page so we can help you troubleshoot your issue: http://yonac.com/support/ ### 1/5 — Connect to Roxsyn *2021-01-12, version 1.1* How can I connect G2 with Roxsyn? ### 1/5 — Bought all yonac apps *2020-10-07, version 1.1* Everything else works but my midi keyboard doesn’t seem to work with the app at all...either on standalone or through daws ### 1/5 — Worse than the original *2020-03-24, version 1.1* The original Galileo has a very polished professional look. It has excellent MIDI implementation. It is a usable organ. But, as a B3 owner and player of several years, I can assure you Galileo is no B3. It has several idiosyncrasies. Yonac really missed the boat with Galileo 2. They should have stayed with the original and made improvements to it. Not only did they fail to correct the issues with the original, the graphical interface of Galileo 2 looks terrible. The overall sound and effects are inferior to the original. For some reason Yonac feels that all of their instruments must have synthesizer capabilities. What this company truly doesn’t get is that when a keyboard player is looking for an organ, he/she is simply looking for the best sounding ORGAN possible. My advice for anyone trying to decide which version of Galileo to purchase is, get the original. Don’t waste your money on Galileo 2. Update: 12-09-19. Well, Yonac has done it again. Abandoned another App. But, they definitely dropped the WRONG one. There are so many issues with this app, the list is too long. I’m not saying this to be cruel. But this ‘UPDATED’ version of Galileo is pure junk. How can Yonac produce a vastly inferior product to the original version, dare to claim it’s much improved and charge more money? I am teaching new people how to use an iPad for live performance. But, I certainly would not recommend this purchase to any of them. I have tweaked this thing to death. Both of the Leslie simulations for Galileo 2 don’t even come close to the quality of the one that was included with the original. They are a bad joke! The Leslie simulator in the original Galileo was probably one of the best aspects of it. I have to ask the question. Doesn’t anyone at Yonac actually listen to the products they sell before releasing them? Because if they did, they would never have replaced the original with this. ### 1/5 — Do not download *2020-02-07* So this app has the best user interface in terms of midi map and visual views. But it has one problem it sounds like ****. I was playing with it hours trying to make this low quality synth to sound like an actual organ but it sounds like ****. Do not download ### 3/5 — Please restore the old Gallileo Organ App *2023-02-28* Dear developer(s). Please restore the old Gallileo Oregon., the app that preceded this one. I have it on my iPad and it will run on iOS 16, but must be hooked up to an external audio source through USB MID control or otherwise it will make a squealing noise and not function. It sounds much better with what I want to do with it . The Rotary Cabinet Drum rotor on this new app is not nearly pronounced enough like it was on the older version. It fails me as to why developers will create a new app, and it not be as good as the older one. Please restore the old out to the App Store, supporting iOS 16, and later! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 色々な音が試せる *2023-12-16* 基本のハモンド以外にも音が変えられる。有料fxを追加するとかなり音が崩せるのでシンセのような音も。 基本の状態でもハモンドに必要な要素は全部入っていると思う。多段接点は無いだろうけど。 ### 5/5 — Great sounds with something for everyone! *2023-07-15* Lots of presets provide many varied organ sounds. Galileo works great as a stand-alone musical instruments and it also works very well with music apps that require MIDI note input. I have turned to Galileo many times because it’s reliable and sounds great. Always wanted to play organ? You’ll have a lot of fun with Galileo. I use my Yamaha P-125’s built-in MIDI controller to play organ on Galileo and it’s a blast. Want to learn about drawbars and how they work? Experiment on Galileo to see what the drawbars do to the sound. If you want to get even more serious, do some research on how drawbar organs work and you too can become a bona fide organist. Yonac has produced a really nice organ product with Galileo. Galileo provides lots of control if you want or need it, or, just go through the presets and you’re sure to find some you really like. You can mark them as Favorites and Galileo will create a Favorite presets list you can pick to quickly get back to them at any time. Galileo is definitely one of my favorite music apps to create music on or just have fun with and relax. Thanks, Yonac! Job well done!! ### 5/5 — Mega Orgel *2022-06-28* Diese Orgel kann mehr als nur „Hammond“. Vor allem sind hier auch die angesagten Transistororgeln mit enthalten. Super Soundqualität zum erschwinglichen Preis mit allen Zusatzeffekten für 10,98 € - sehr gutes Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis - verdient volle 5 Sterne. ### 5/5 — Incredible! *2022-06-25* It‘s just EXCELLENT! Best Organ on iOS for sure 🙏 ### 5/5 — Great organ *2022-05-14* I did not expect that I would love playing organs. It had the feel of being “dusty”. But Galileo 2 removes all the dust, creates many great organ instruments and allows to modify many parameters. Highly recommended! ### 5/5 — ⚡️Lucky 13th Anniversary Sale😎☮️ *2022-04-21* Finally hit the jackpot today after literally years of trying to catch The Yonac Sale but missing; a lucky break today landed me on the Yonac The Big Sale by accident. All Yonac applications were $.99c, and almost all in-application purchases were 75% off. Compared to regular price, it would been absurd not to just everything else Yonac authored and offered today, so I did. In the last couple of hours everything lives up to or beyond expectations. Have a 1950 Hammond, a Leslie 122, and a ‘74 vintage Voce Spin rack-mount/midi-hardware Leslie sim that took over for the Leslies for many years, but the original Galileo still sounds great and remains a tough Hammond/Leslie software sim to beat. Tone Stack Pro had everything, so snagged the Mother-load 1, 2, & 3 packs for Tone Stack original, as well as all of the Yonac synths. Yonac, keep up the good work and many thanks for the sale🎹🎸🎼. ### 5/5 — Galileo II + Essential Fx Bundle (iap)- truly awesome *2021-05-28* Just installed the in app purchase “Essentials fx Bundle” (10 fx units for £4.99 as apposed to £2.99 each), I can’t elaborate strongly enough how much of a difference this bundle has made to all those presets that requires them in the browser list, without a doubt Galileo II has now become even better, the rotary speaker simulation is awesome with great depth using this superb bundle, at first I thought “do I really need to buy this bundle”, wow yes I did! I’m now adapting all my previous music projects to incorporate GII. 14 MAY Since buying my iPad 8 last October, I gradually migrated from Cubase on Windows desktop to Cubasis3 on iOS, I have all the top synth apps that I require and all can be used in Cubasis3 without strangling the A12 Bionic processor, but I had to leave my Native Instruments B4 vst plug-in behind, I could’ve purchased the Hammond B-3X app that cost ££££££££ - I don’t think so! Then luckily I came across a YouTube demo of Galileo II….I have to say that after hearing what it can do I honestly could not buy it fast enough, and I’m so glad that I did, I already own other Yonac Apps, so I know they are ultra reliable and never crash, there is also a great collection of presets on board and…..the rotor switch 👌 ### 5/5 — Get it *2021-02-12* It might not be as good as the IK Multimedia Hammond B3-X app but the differences are less apparent in a final mix. It’s an awesome app for a lot less money. Thanks Yonac for a such a good app and shame on IK Multimedia for being so greedy. ### 5/5 — Beautiful Tube OverDrive *2020-07-19, version 1.1* This is an great app!! It has a creamy beautiful overdrive tone for the organ. ### 5/5 — NOT EXACTLY A HAMMOND BUT.................... *2020-04-02, version 1.1* Hello! Have had this App for about a month. I have a Yamaha MX88 and the Organs are pretty darn good but this App blows away my preset Organs on my MX88! Nearest thing to a real Hammond sound that I’ve played anywhere! Have watched on YouTube the differences between this App and the Hammond B3X App. For $85 less I can’t justify paying that for the B3X App!!! This App is pretty dog gone Sweet!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
