Perfect chip tunes

I love all your other softsynths too, I bet peeps would buy some of them on iOS! Cheers, keep up the pro work.

Great “pre-lo-fi” synth!

Looking for that special hi-fi synth sound with all of the bells and whistles on it? No? Then this app is DEFINITELY for you!

Easy to figure out, use, and laugh at (the latter comment referring to how we old geezers remember computer sounds from 40 years ago, thanks to lack of processing power and whatnot).

The only thing lacking here (and this is a really minor complaint) is that I wish there was a visual reference on the iPad keyboard as to what octave one is in. My solution: use your ears!

A keeper! Thanks to the developer for putting this out there!

Perfect
