If you have a 32-bit iPad, this is a must-download.

It’s fun to play around with, and it’s surprisingly capable for such an old app.

abandoned

ns1 & ns2 now both abandoned by dev, maybe i need, funds permitting, to hunt down some vintage hardware from the 80s or 90s or later to remake a studio, (never really got on with pc type set ups) does that sound perverse or funny, i dont know but both apps are now “vintage” (& to be made unavailable in due course) so what difference does it make 🤷🏽 🥴 “the future is here” was maybe what we thought with the advent of touch based music apps, too bad that future was so fragile & brittle ..
