What's New in Percussive Synth

1.4.2

July 1, 2025

This bugfix release includes: * Returned the "lost" Perc Synth Sequencer AudioUnit. * Ensured the app's default MIDI in/out works as expected. Some helpful information: Using AUM as an example, this is how you can find Perc Synth AU plugins: Perc Synth Plugin - audio channel -> inserts/effects (middle "+" button) -> Audio Unit Extension. Perc Synth Sequencer Plugin - MIDI channel -> Audio Unit MIDI Processor. If you exchange MIDI within one device, say, in AUM, it's very straightforward, just create a route between your plugins and the Perc Synth standalone. But when you want to send MIDI over to your Mac or another remote device, select "Network Session" as MIDI Input/Output in the app's "midi io" section. On Mac, open MIDI Studio, enable a Network Session and route network MIDI traffic to the IAC Driver device. Using the IAC Driver is helpful because some apps won't provide the "Network session" option. If you encounter any issues with the app or plugins, feel free to reach out to me at vadimrostok@gmail.com

Interessantes kleines Programm

Bin noch am testen.

Too. Low bit

Upping the beats for a minute is the only interesting thing so far, I wish it was midi OH IT IS NOTE so I could play other instruments with it, I found it to be disappointing, especially when it crashed the first time out of the box…IDK WDIK?

Separate Synth and SEQUENCER???

There is NO separate sequencer as an audio unit😡

I’m sorry, but I’ll stick to the truth

This seems like a scam, doesn’t even open, might be related to the personal information scamming, deleting!

Sigh!

A pleasant surprise. Very versatile.

I just purchased Percussive Synth for iOS and in minutes I was making some strange sounds! The UI is good for the iPhone, a real treat these days! I love making soundscapes and Drones. The BPM setting is a droner’s dream. Font is fairly easy to read on the iPhone. Good contrast (not the ridiculous shades of gray color schemes the Corp World adopted) and acceptable font label size. I can see that I’m going to be up late tonight! LOL. It’s been a while since I’ve been this excited by an Apple app! Good manual (another item that developers have been reticent to make). The touch controls are excellent! I’m not distracted futzing with them with getting a control’s setting right and the two different undo’s is a nice touch. And as another reviewer said, thanks for not making it sample based but the more versatile percussion synth.
