### 3/5 — Sweet drone and chord generator.

*2024-06-02*

Cool idea! Here’s my immediate feedback:
Add pitch and mod strips to the left side. Synth players are accustomed to this and it would add more playability and dynamics to the instrument. 
Split the filter and volume into two separate controls (to match my first suggestion of the pitch and mod strips), but have a user option to keep them linked.
Allow the user to tap in the square and have the pitch jump to that pitch. Similar to how Koala FX works.
Without dumping too many feature suggestions on you, but maybe in future updates allow presets scales and root notes for each oscillator row. This could allow for many interesting chords and harmonic interaction. 🤘🏼

**Developer response:** Hey, cheers for the review, glad you're enjoying it!
I want to keep the UI as simple and clean as possible so it's unlikely I'll be adding much to it. Lets be realistic, there are some incredibly powerful drone apps already out there, if I try to turn Nonatone into a powerhouse it'll just end up being a worse version of them, so I'm going down the other route of keeping things clean and simple.
That being said, there is some interesting stuff for power users like you coming. In the next update, I'm exposing as much as the app as I can with audio unit parameters, so you can build some really complex stuff without it affecting the core UI.
Hopefully this ends up being a compromise which works for the both of us 😀

Cheers!
Tom

### 5/5 — It seems awesome but…..

*2024-06-23*

Would give it 5 stars and will update to 5 if they get it to work on Logic iOS. Watched How To App by Jade Starr and bought it immediately. It does work randomly but I can’t play notes, make stems from it the sounds or use it how it’s meant to be used. When it did work though, I could play around with it and see the capabilities but just couldn’t save my work in any format.
I love it so far, when it works and would recommend it to anyone who likes making their own sound designs or if you just enjoy making cool meditation/ambient soundscapes. Hope it will get an update soon so I can use it more.

**Developer response:** Hey, cheers for the review! So the thing is, its a generator audio unit, which means it doesn't accept midi input but rather creates sound on its own (there's a note about it in the description), which would explain why it doesn't work in logic and why it won't work with playing notes. Not sure about the issue with saving, it should save state using parameters but again that might depend on your audio unit host app.
