Phase Distortion you say…

I struggled programming anything useful on my CZ-101, but Patch Base made things so much easier..
I’d considered selling the external cartridge, but even that’s full now..👍

Broken: Midi wired connection does not work

As title says, connected to iPad using usb c hub with usb connections and no device is detected for the Roland JDXI. Have also made sure usb connection is set up on the jdxi ‘correctly’

MFB DOMINION 1 PLEASE

MFB dominion 1 editor please

Great app!

Love using this app on iPad and Mac. it's breathed new life into my Roland XP-30

Brilliant!

I’ve got about 5 editors / librarians now. It does take a bit of getting used to, but breathes life back into your old rack gear. My D550 has never been happier, and the JV1080 sounds amazing! The only reason it’s not a 5* review is I have some ongoing troubles getting the TX802 running - but have had very little time to try to resolve. I’m sure it’s me, as when the other editors are set up, it’s a great bit of kit.

For pricing, I think £30 is fair, considering the power of this thing, and compared to the price of a second hand knob programmer for each synth!

Happy twiddling everyone!

Ridiculous pricing

$80 a year to use, waste of time…
If it was fairly priced they would get a lot more users. Hard Pass!

Arturia Microfreak

Love this app for my Dave Smith mopho. Would be great if you had a randomizer for the Arturia Microfreak.

Doesn’t support circuit tracks

The app doesn’t support the Novation Circuit Tracks, only the old model circuit, so it won’t work in my setup

An amazing resource; get this. Seriously.

Bought this to give a more accessible patch creation/programming environment for my Yamaha Reface DX.

What a incredible resource. Every parameter is there. Logically and intuitively laid out. Nice graphs for envelopes (including pitch).

This beauty can read the patches from working memory (including those loaded from system and soundmondo) as well as the full bank of presets.

The former great for tweaking existing sounds and saving them the latter for a full backup and restore of your presets.

I can’t say enough how this has unlocked my machine, it has increased the pleasure of sound shaping beyond comprehension.

I was initially put off by the price but went for it. Bought the permanent purchase of the reface module. Well worth it. Worth double maybe more. Actually.

The developer is responsive and helpful. There are learning resources in the help section of the website. I strongly advise reading the working with patches/banks sections and watch the short and very clear videos. After those you will be flying.

Get this. Enjoy. Take your sound shaping and production to the next level.

Cheers

John.

Awesome app

I absolutely love this app for my blofeld and my mopho. I use it basically for random patch generation. It gets sounds out of the mopho that you would never be able to get if programming it yourself. It can latch the arp and the sequencer at the same time. Amazing. Now if you guys could build a version for the Korg Wavestate that would be truly amazing. Hopefully sometime in the near future. 😊

Broken for Volca FM

Cool idea. Too bad it doesn’t work at all. Seems so riddled with bugs that there’s no way to actually use it. Can’t even unmute it while creating the patch. Can’t even access operators 4-6.

Negative reviews are biased for Apps price

If you take the time to read all the negative reviews on this app they are based solely on the app price, not on the functionality of the app. Works just fine, developer is constantly updating to squash bugs and adding new synths. My only gripe is the UI can sometimes feel a little clunky.

Best synth programmer on ipad hands down.

Probably the best app for programming your synths on iPadOS. You do have to know what you’re doing of course. Works amazingly with MIDI and network MIDI too.

subscription model no thanks

Subscription model for this is a rip off. No thanks.

Roland Super JX, Super Jupiter?

I’m loving the controller but would REALLY LOVE an MKS-70 and MKS-80 controller. You have the 50 there lol, but these aforementioned are LEGENDARY Roland rack synths!

Update: JD-Xi fixed

Had been using this app with my Roland jd-xi for quite a while and it functioned very well. Recently they updated the app and I unfortunately tried the update. It’s Terrible. Constant hangs and crashes, I’m unable to edit patches properly because of how often the app crashes. It most often crashes when transitioning from one page to another, which sadly you must do frequently due to the new version having changed the workflow.

Update: Spoke to the developer and they updated the app, it no longer hangs or crashes and works as smoothly as before! I’m very impressed at their responsiveness and kindness about my problem and am happy to use this app again to get the most out of my synth.

Good Blofeld editor

Happy Blofelder here. This thing makes it more than a dust collector!

Thank you

Now my Proteus 1 opened up. My Access Virus TI2 is now a joy to program the matrix section. Thanks

BUY IT if you have any of the supported synths

*Ignore the one star review* It works flawlessly and the support is fantastic!

Please add custom randomization

Pretty please, I use it on Roland JP 990 and 5080
