Engine of creativity

The app is very easy to use. And it has so many tools in the toolkit to play with. The iPhone interface is beautifully designed. The app is absolutely beautiful.

iPhone update!!!

It’s like an audio angel came down from heaven, and said “Your wish is my command!”
Now on iPhone!
This developer has blown away every portable iOS app on the planet.

Please bring the 4x4 layout to iPhone — it makes perfect sense to have it there where the screen is way better in portrait mode than landscape…. 🫶🏼😭

Great iphone version!

The iphone version works great, even on a small screen! Thank you for another great groovebox!

Yep…5 stars!!!

Für mich, der beste Auv3 Gastgeber. Live-Automation, endlich (fast) so geschmeidig, wie in Gadget. Die Hausinternen Effekte klingen sehr gut bis gut. Workflow, für mich perfekt. Auch ist dieser Gastgeber schnell zu erlernen (ja…Nano Studio 2 war auch sehr gut), aber hier funktioniert vieles meiner Meinung nach besser.
Und wisst ihr, was der nächste Schritt sein wird?
Ihr werdet es auf dem IPhone nutzen können, aber 🤫……..ist geheim.
