Hermosa

Esta súper creativa esta aplicación, me gusta mucho!

BEST APP

At first my opinion for was what can I do with this? I experimented and changed the circles. I found one that sounded so good. Thank you for being alive this is my favorite app.🎶🎶🎶🎶

Lacks customizability

Great app, but needs customizable layouts like it's iPad counterpart

Sound distorts on iPhone 6S Plus with iOS 9.1

The sound distorts quite badly through the speaker on my iPhone 6S Plus running iOS 9.1. Other sound-making apps do not do this.

Expressiv! Allerdings kein Klangwunder sondern Steuertool!

Nutze schon eine Weile Orphion (iPad), was Dynamik und Co. recht gut nutzt. Das hier auf dem 6s+ ist jedoch noch besser, da es die Druckdynamik / 3D Touch nutzt und die Schüttel-Funktion ist auch super. Gerade WEIL das iPhone eben klein genug ist, dies zu tun. Gut als Steuerung für MIDI-Sachen die nicht so dynamisch sind - leider etwas „langweilige“ Klangerzeugung - für mich ein Controller der das iPad gut nutzt (Accelerometer und Gyro) um Velocity und Co. zu erhalten - ein kleiner Sampler oder so wäre schon gut. Aber man kann es ja so nutzen wie ich sagte.

Schöne Idee auf gute Weise weiter gebracht.

Lovely AND professional

I love it and think it's an awesome invention. You can spend hours with it just exploring the way it works, And then check out how real musicians include it in their repertoires (youtube or so). Clear recommendation.

Simply beautiful

really fun to use and to experiment with

More Than Fun!

The iPad app Orphion triggered my re-interest in electronic/digital music. It's fantastic to finally have an even more portable instrument to play with. My 10 month old granddaughter loves it too!

Sehr interessantes instrument

Bereits einmal im konzert eingesetzt, muss ich sagen, dass diese App auch für einen blinden Musiker wie mich gut zu spielen bzw. zu erlernen ist. Lediglich die Einführung ist noch nicht barrierefrei.

Great instrument and MIDI controller, but needs note/pad editor

I bought Orphion for the iPad and liked it, but didn't even realize there was an iPhone version. Upon discovering it was only 99 cents, it was an easy decision to try it out. The iPhone version sounds great, and even the smaller screen wasn't a huge problem because it was nice to hold the device and use both thumbs to reach the whole screen.

As a MIDI controller, the app is excellent. I don't think it does velocity control (or I didn't figure it out), which is too bad. But the feeling of controlling a powerful synth library with the clean, neat interface of this app is pretty great.

Really the only problem I have with the app is the once cited multiple times by other reviewers, which is that this iPhone version does not allow you to set up your own pad arrangements. There are probably about 10 of them available, and you can transpose them up or down with the sharp/flat buttons. But that leaves a pretty limited set of options. In the iPad version, there is a 99 cent in-app purchase to edit your own pad arrangements. Perhaps the developer thought the iPhone screen was too small for that, but some type of solution is needed, or the app is just a bit too limited in its usefulness.

That problem aside, I really enjoy the interface and the sound of the instrument, which is sort of like a percussive plucked string. Certainly worth 99 cents, but could be better with more control options.

Needs more scales

I would love the option of changing keys and moving further up and down the scale easily.

Needs more preset scales

This is an incredible instrument but it is limited compared to it's big brother Orphion. I really wish there was an option to edit the notes/scales, at least give us more than 9 presets. It just seems like a demo version of Orphion. Here's and idea, why not just make Orphion for the iPhone? Or just give iPhone users the option to purchase the editor, like in Orphion. Why give iPhone users a lesser version? It's just a missed opportunity for the developer to make more money and have the app reach a wider audience. As it stands now, it seems like a demo/toy and I can't really use it they way I'd like. Such a shame for what could be one of the best midi controllers on the iTunes Store.

Another creative tool

If you aren't creative this is not for you. If you are get it cause it's completely amazing and simple and I haven't even explored the midi yet.

Interesante

Muy buena. Un poco difícil de conseguir sonidos consistentes. Recomendable.

Good App, could be great

the sound is really nice, especially with bass tones. works great at controlling other apps that accept midi. not able to edit the layouts and scales though. as a result it's much more limited than the ipad version.

Отличное приложение

Приятный интерфейс, медитативное звучание.. Когда хочется отвлечься от рутинных дел на пять-десять минут - одно из лучших приложений.

Nice app!

A really great app. It lacks one thing: to ability to create custom layouts.

Very cool

Wrote a write up of this with video demo on my website. Musictoolbox.org

Fun app!

It would be really sweet if you could change the sound up more than just wet/dry and reverb! As it is, I probably wouldn't recommend paying for this app to any of my friends- Throwing in more sound options and maybe the ability to customize the layout would do it though!
