User reviews

🔥🔥🔥

This app unlocked a whole new world for me. Despite its bugs, this one is certainly not one to sleep on.

Could be great but Auv3 buttons don’t work

Could be great but in the Auv3 buttons don’t work so you can’t control the parameters, why don’t they update it? I would pay for it :(

Wont work

All the apps are great I own almost every one of them but this one just wont work. 5 Stars for all the others-QuatroMod, Discord and Phase Three you can’t get better but Gring dont work. Wish it did

Good when it works

Unfortunately this is one of those abandoned apps that had the potential to become great. While it works, the distortion feels terrific. However, if you click on any of the buttons below, the app is dead until you unload & reload, limiting the customizability to only the knobs.

The app is a great distraction plugin, just one problem:

When using the app as a Auv3, the buttons kind of don’t work. If I push the button to change the wave for the LFO, it would crash the plug-in it’s self.
