Magellan Synthesizer 2 User Reviews

The Diva of iOS

If you love Diva on desktop you’ll probably love this one too. It allows to mix and match different filters and envelopes for a desired tone. It has a very nice warm analog sound. Would love a Magellan3 with even more choices, maybe even more oscillator options as well.

I can’t see anything

Amazing synth.

Ux is Red on red

I can barely see anything

So two stars removed

lots of problems - developers not responding - one star

Problem 1 - the Magellan-2 DOES access the iPad microphone and mixes the signal with the music. Why? This is a fault and should be fixed. It's on an iPad. ------- Problem 2 - the Magellan does not function well with an external bluetooth device. Many other synths do but Magellan does't work well with a Korg MIDI keyboard. The device shows "connected" in the settings but the Magellan crashes repeatedly. Why? This should be also addressed. ------- I have already left a review regarding this but no reply so far. The developers have only a facebook contact and it's useless for those who don't do facebook. An email address would be much more preferable. ------- thanks, 👩🏻‍🎤 👩🏻‍🎤 👩🏻‍🎤

does grab the mic - why?

Why does Magellan-2 grab the microphone-access of the iPad? In the permissions it is not even listed, therefore cannot disable it. It must be a fault. Can anything be done about this?

mic access?

it seems Magellan has access to the iPad microphone every time i use it. Is it possible? I did NOT grant access in SETTINGS, so how do i turn this off?

AWESOME SYNTH

I love Mag2…sounds so growly and thick. I’m using it for everything right now. A full professionally useable synth. I am so glad I bought it and upgraded from the original Magellan. Yonac’s apps are so cool and I’m looking forward to more. This synth is AWESOME. Do yourself a favor and buy them. Yonac Synths RULE! - Grey F♾️l

Underrated and powerful analog sounding synth…

This is one of my favorite synth apps on iOS and I have almost all of them. Heck, there are some things about this synth that I prefer to real analog synths that I own too. Very versatile, easy to get around, great sounding synth. Not in love with the effects section but I never am in any synth and prefer to use desktop plugins for effects.

デベロッパーさんにお問い合わせします

このシンセサイザーアプリの前に配信されたMagellan をインストールしているのですが、落ちて開かなくなりました。もう配信もやめておられるようですが、まだあのアプリを愛用したいユーザーもおられると思います。せめてインストールしているユーザーの皆さんのためにもサポートは続けて頂きたく存じます。対応をよろしくお願い致します。
ちなみに、このアプリはなかなか良いですね。これからもサポートをよろしくお願い致します。

Prima Synth

Mir gefällt allerdings die GUI nicht, Potis mit Anordnung sind gut, den Font beim Namen finde ich überhaupt nicht gut, ist aber nebensächlich. Aber die Soundauswahl auf riesigen schwarzen Kacheln mit roter!! Schrift wäre nicht nötig gewesen. Aber der Synth selbst ist prima, deshalb die 5

Inzwischen gebe ich allen Synths, die keine +/- Option für nächsten/vorherigen Sound haben grundsätzlich nicht die volle Punktzahl. Aber seis drum. Ich fände eine Anpassung für M-Macs eine prima Sache, scheint kein Hexenwerk zu sein. Dann könnte ich einen Logic für iPad Song im Mac beenden. Geht Magellan 2 überhaupt auf Logic 4 iPad? Du siehst, die Soundauswahl führt dazu, dass ich es nur noch selten einsetze.

Is a complete analog synth for me tanks

Is very good tanks

Still the best

Still my favourite workhorse analog synth. With the amount of oscillator options, envelopes, filters & fx available it has all to get a desired sound.
Everything in the synth sounds great, apart maybe from the noise generator which seems unable to deliver a rich bright white noise.

Please fix

I have the first Magellan and bought a fair amount of sound packs
But now I’m not getting any sound can you please fix . Can you transfer your sound packs to the newer on which I have as well.

良い

EWIの音源として使用。 とても良い。

Bene!

Ho anche il Magellan, e questa versione rinnovata e potenziata permette di essere usata come auv3.
Compatibile con i preset del Magellan; il che è ottimo.
Ottima implementazione MPE, anche la tastiera virtuale interna può essere usata per performance MPE e come midi output verso altri dispositivi. Optional utile, a mio parere.
Bella interfaccia grafica a scorrimento e orientabile anche in verticale, con manopole e controlli a "prova di presbite" ; il che non guasta.
Insomma, anche se rispetto al Magellan, li Magellan 2 non permette di essere usato come multi-fx esterno, risulta comunque essere nel suo insieme davvero un bel lavoro!

100% worth it

The test of a soft-synth, for me, is whether or not I can make it sound like my analog synths.

I’m blessed to have some actual hardware synths, and soft-synths usually show their limitations pretty quickly in an A/B test. This app replicates my best go-to hardware synths so convincingly that I couldn’t consistently tell the difference between the two - and I pride myself on my discerning ear.

I recreated all my default patches for every piece of hardware in my studio, and use them for songwriting on the iPad itself. That’s pretty amazing stuff.

Now that Logic Pro is coming to iPad, I’m seriously rethinking having a hardware setup at all.

Hats off!

Yes, this is what I have looked for

This synth is really one of the greatest thing among other synths. From lead voices to pads you can find a wide range of sounds for inspiration. It takes a litte while till you get common to all features, but it takes not too long until you can create or modify sounds. And I am really impressed about the hit rate of SPAWN for absolutely useful sounds by random function.
However, I love this synth and the interface looks for me absolutely good. My recommendation for this synth!

Bluetooth A2DP not working stand alone, only in AUM

My Jlab Bluetooth earbuds don’t work with this synth. Sound only comes out right earbud and of poor audio quality. Sounds great with wired earbuds into 3.5mm port. Sounds great both ears for Jlab Bluetooth earbuds if run through AUM. Reviews suggest you fixed this for Trooper, how about a fix for Magellan 2? All my stand alone synths from other vendors work great with my Jlab Bluetooth earbuds. Can you please fix this? Then you will be my favorite analog synth app. But for now, kind of frustrated with the app. I really want to run it stand alone. Thank you!

Whoa

This app is amazing. Great sounds and UI. Feels like i am using actual hardware.

Broken when I bought it, its fixed now thanks.

Some of the features of this app barely work since it crashes every time you use them. This app is very buggy, if you mess with the FX it immediately does this weird cracking noise and mutes your sound. You also hear a crackle sometimes while playing any of the existing presets.

^
All of that has been fixed and works as normal now.

Response from developer

Hello! The app should not be doing that. Please visit our support page so we can help you troubleshoot your issues. It's www.yonac.com/support Thanks! - The Yonac Team

Not as good as the original

I had both Magellan 1 and 2. Magellan 1 was by far better. But it stopped working and crashed. So I deleted it hoping to reinstall, too late. They took it off the market. So now I’m stuck waiting to see if it will be opened to me here in America. If not where’s my refund with all the add on’s And as an add on review I was told Yonac will not refund my money and that it’s Apple’s responsibility. But any first year Law Student will tell you Yonac is wrong it is indeed their responsibility and their’s alone.
