Sounds great, when working

In the few times I have opened and played the library of instruments in the Iconica Sketch standalone app, switching from instruments has shown an unfortunate flaw in the app. Previously selected instruments will carry into new instrument selections, instead of clearing the selection to load the new. This requires closing and reopening the app to resolve.

"ppp"の固定化

"Iconica Sketch - Orchestra app"に関するお問い合わせ先が見当たらないため、こちらでご質問させていただきます。

現在、iOS26.1のデバイスでGarageBandを通して使用しています。その際に「Vaiolin, Viola, Cello」や「Flute, Clarinet, Oboe」といった多数のアーティキュレーションを保持している楽器を使用すると、モジュレーション操作画面のベロシティレンジが"ppp"に固定されてしまいます。特に、「Sustain, Legart, Tremoro」の項目を選択する度に件の現象が発生します。原因が不明のため解決策を要求します。

それ以外のクオリティはとても素晴らしいものだと思います。是非ご回答をお待ちしています。

Not what I was expecting

I was expecting layered orchestra sounds, massive, beautiful sounds. It’s just a bunch of individual sounds, like clarinet, bassoon, etc. It’s very, very, very basic. I have no idea why I bought this, I kind of want a refund.

This one is a Must Have

I recently bought this app and use it a lot. The sound quality and features work really well on my iPadOS and iOS. Wish there were better searches that would have lead me to this easier. I was rounding out my sound library and ChatGPT search found it.
