Not seeing frequency numbers in Tuner?

This is a great app but in the manual on the Tuner section it says it shows the exact frequencies. On my app all I see is the note and then a +/- cents number but no Hertz frequency numbers at all. Am I missing something or what? Please help

For free?

15 years ago I wanted to experiment with guitar synthesis and purchased a Godin LXG-SA, and a Roland VG-99. $3,000.

I haven’t fully dived into the harmony module, but would like to see the ability to chromatically alter the pitch of each string if that’s possible yet…

Tracking is great with a bass too.

Love this gem

Please update! This is a gem and it needs to be updated. Make a pro version if necessary and charge more. I don’t play my guitars much (I do have a studio though) and I use this app for my bass and guitars to get some wild effects without a million pedals.
This is a great app.. Love it still..

Restore purchases

I can’t restore FX2 effects. Don’t know where to find IAP. Thanks,Michael. Sorry I don’t do face book or any of the other social media. Please help. Today 3-7-21 I received a email from the developer saying they got the issue taken care of. A great way to start the day. Perculator coffee and restored purchases.

Was worth 5 stars, now app is dead

I purchased EVERY IAP in this app. The app barely still works on iOS 12 on iPad Air 2, but the freezer, harmonizer, rainbows etc are now disabled. There is NO OPTION to restore purchases, so I can’t even access what I paid for. Miserable app support.

Response from developer

Crikey mate it’s been fixed for a while

Never write these, but...

With a careful touch, the dynamic response is quite amazing. Usual signal path is all tube with the a dynacomp as a boost for recording...recently switched to iPad as a recording platform. Just getting used to all the apps and keyboard adaptations, m-audio 49 great key feel, but missing that great feel from post effects on the board when processing guitar tracks. 500 later, basically replaced all but the art preamp, gt10 effects, which were separately tracked or amped that way on stage. This was easy to to use, with only my guitar volume to control response. Got very useable effects, great pick response rivaling tubes, this should be on every iPad arsenal. THANK YOU

Well worth a try!!!!

This free app is suprisingly flexible and powerful. I don't pay guitar at all, but have just used a microphone with the app to control the synth or access the effects loop. The synth tracks surprisingly well and the built-in effects capabilities are quite good. It's generally intuitive and if you have a basic understanding of analog synthesis and basic effects processing, I think you will love this. Did I mention it's free?

Wow

Excellent

Quite Amazing

Guitar to synth in no time, sounds excellent. Easy to use.

Very good app for guitar synth

Very good app to do experimental effects with guitar. It will be good to have more combinations to choice.

Only useful guitar MIDI app in the AppStore

This is the only one worth getting. Maybe it works better because it uses its own sounds, but I deleted the others. Suggested setup for maximum usage-iRig into your device and Fiio adapter(used to go straight from D/A converter-bypasses headphone amp which your guitar is plugged into anyways, so that's the only way to do this) into a stereo female to male cable, and then into a splitter to go into 2 line inputs of your interface(panned left and right to keep it in stereo). The Apple converters are very high quality, so the sound is outstanding and very professional. You'll find the adapter works with all your apps, the sound quality is stunning even considering you're using a phone or whatever.

A must have for guitarists who want a Synth to play!

I have had a few decent synth emulators, notably in the Pod Farm Line6 stuff. This costs...um...nothing, and it is as good or better at tracking, has some very cool pitch and Filtering on a pile of separate bandwidths where you can completely mess with your sound. And the sounds you can get are rich, fat, and musical! Run them through an AaUFX time based effect, and...Golden!

Great app

This is a great app. The one thing it is missing is the ability to be an Audiobus effect, it would make it much easier to loop sounds and change effects to find new sounds.

Undeniably useful and cool

Jam Synth is a very affordable guitar-to-MIDI converter that takes raw audio pitch detection (works through the microphone too) and turns it into MIDI information. While you can ship that out to another music app, the dev recommends using the internal synth to avoid latency.

The synth sounds on board are pretty good! They get even better when you add a few of the effects and IAP's. I particularly liked the harmonizer along with a chiptune sound. Great app that allows you to take your guitar playing and apply it towards some unique sounds!

Responsive to bends

The built in synth is nice and you can really dial in how sensitive the app is to your playing. Use the midi out to drive other synths. Put it in Audiobus to add effects. I don't get sticking notes. The harmonizer IAP is a welcome addition.

Great app for guitar and synth fans

This app is fantastic for guitarists who like using the sounds of iOS synths. Very low latency, picks up bends extraordinarily well. The in-app purchases are well worth the price as well.

Very excited about this 3 stars just for making it

If it works as claimed, 5 stars coming right up.

If you play Guitar, this is your Synth!

Jam Synth turns out to be a fantastic app for Guitar playing (and probably other stuff too). It works just like it says it does and provides a new way to get cool new sounds out of your Guitar. If you're looking for something awesome and different for your Guitar, I highly recommend getting this one!

Wonderful!

Works great. Latency is best I've used so far and cool to bend notes on guitar. Thanks dev.
God bless!!!!!!!
