Best sounding minimoog,but Filter FM flawed

Update: the developer just doesn’t care about supporting this product. He ignored my bug report.
Best sounding minimoog on iOS , low cpu usage. Punchy & warm sound. The only issue Filter FM does not work properly at audio rates (at range 4’, 2’).

Excellent symphonic sound quality

Like all apeSoft apps, this synthesizer is beautifully functional and sound qualities and every nuance possible there-in crafted to Perfection...Love this developer's sound crafting toolkits.

Mood intercepts GB audio output file

No idea if this app is any good, only here because since iPadOS 26, when I manage to output (share) a stereo WAV file from my GarageBand endeavours, and try to access it using Apple’s ‘Files’ app, I am thrown into this app. I have emailed the developer, cannot find a reply, some weeks later in March 2026. My output WAV file, sits in the GarageBand ‘transfer files’ folder. Is there a reason why Mood takes all output residing here, as it’s own? How do I stop Mood popping up when I am in ‘Files’ and trying to play a WAV file? Is there a workaround? Thank you for any assistance, no other apps seem to do this.

Best sounding minimoog on iOS

Best sounding minimoog on iOS, better than Moog’s own app. A more pleasing warm tone to the ear and overall better for bass as it has a 0 delay filter.
Only negative for me is that midi cc learn/control is unavailable in the auv3. The interface of the auv3 isn’t the best, but it is ok to work with.

My main synth

Despite having almost all the synth apps available on the AppStore, I just can’t help but keep coming back to this one anytime I’m starting an AUM project. Best sounds to my ear - easy and light.
