User reviews

Abandoned

Not updated for years. The midi implementation does not work. The app should just be removed. Iโ€™m surprised Arturia would want this to still be available when the midi is so broken.

No longer useable

I really donโ€™t think this has been updated for many years. Many of the presets are chock-full of artifacts, buzzing in the background which renders this once interesting keyboard useless.

Jekyll and Hyde

Bought this โ€œabandonwareโ€ after spotting a note that suggested running this in AEM after hitting the โ€œhigh qualityโ€ button in AEM Settings. (Thanks Marty) Night and Day.

Wish you could save patches

This is a fantastic synth, however without the ability to save patches after all the parameter tweaking it kind of defeats the purpose of using it unless youโ€™re ok with presets. Seems like a glitch thatโ€™s been part of the app for a few years now. At least it is for me.
As soon as thatโ€™s fixed, then itโ€™s 5 stars.

2025 and there is still this problem?

Distortion! I see others had this problem years ago, and now I have it. I am only giving it the second star because it was good before it had the distortion problem.
