Blown Away

This synth has many features other synth apps don’t have. Also, works perfectly in GarageBand as well. No complaints.

Sounds are quality,but a little difficult to navigate between setting and keyboard

Any chance you would include a popup keyboard And/Or a thumb pad linked directly via midi or such?...the sound is amazing but the zoom feature is functional but slow and debilitating as an onscreen tool in my opinion.Still,an AWESOME Synthesizer

ok sound 🤷‍♂️

but there’s nothing sound wise that makes me want to fork out full price in light of already many purchased synths, the ipad interface is poor & wasting screen space, the way the synth appears on screen (fancy dark light 3d head on angle) is ok for a synth korn magazine but not for finger use (everything tiny, bit like korg module which is also unusable) i cant select presets or knobs properly & the keyboard is muck. the pro jargon about its benefits & under the hood mechanics whatever they all mean are all very nice but its inaccessible to me. as the devs name sake in bttf would say, “slacker!” 🙃

Love this synth

Been using this on the go for a while and absolutely love it ! Works great and layout is easy to understand !

I don’t think so.

Terrible workflow. Just a bunch of ‘stuff’ poorly arranged. And $28 for an app not smart enough to have note hold.

Sound is nice but…

The UI is kind of not user friendly. Maybe it’s not made for iPhone but it works fine so not really sure but the scalability of the knobs for the effects and modulation board doesn’t fit so it has to be scrolled along as you work on the surface face. The keys are large but maybe too large, esp if using an external midi and not on screen keys, then would provide more space for the knobs. Other than that, it sounds okay, and does what it does.

Response from developer

Hey, thanks for the honest feedback. This is my first iOS device release. It was definitely a compromise to include the full performance layout of the synth's parameters, 37 keys, and have the joystick available for pitch bend, modulation, and cutoff. I wasn't going to offer an iPhone version, but I remembered getting my first iPhone and having Nlog MIDI synth and how much it changed the way I approached music. That said, I'd love to listen to your feedback more in depth if you have the time to chat via email or video chat. Drop a line at the provided support email, and I'll be in touch.

Nice sound :)

Really nice punchy sharp sound that cuts through the mix. If I buy the added features will these features appear also in the auv3? For example the midi cc mapping will it also work in the auv3?

Response from developer

Thank you! Yes, the full features are unlocked for standalone as well as AUv3.
