I’ve been able to replicate this bug 4 times in the last 10 minutes of trying it out. The sound is nice though? ### 3/5 — Crashes *2024-09-11* App will crash after going thru a couple presets. I just bought this, please update or refund please ### 3/5 — Collector *2021-02-08* Synthé agréable et bien fait mais plutôt à considérer comme un collector car les sons ne sont pas foufous ### 4/5 — Frequent crashes when rotating presets *2023-12-17* After running through a number of presets, this synth will crash. I’ve been able to replicate this bug 4 times in the last 10 minutes of trying it out. Edit: This bug may have been patched. There was a recent update but no update log. Before the app would crash at about 20-30 patch cycling. Now it's more like 100-150 when changing patches very quickly. Thank you. ### 4/5 — Um engenho diferenciado, celebrando o alphaSynthauri *2020-05-20* A modelagem da onda pelo gráfico de parciais permite sonoridades diferenciadas, ricas texturas de frequências criando harmônicos complexos para novos timbres no iPad. Sugestões: disponibilizem opções de aumento na tela dos recursos, para melhor podermos usá-los no iPad, como o teclado MPE, que é muito curto limitando a expressão, os “OCT” são tão pequenos que mal conseguimos toca-los, e mais opções para ajustar o teclado, escalas, número de teclas, modelo diatônico etc ### 5/5 — Amazing!! *2026-04-01* I love this app so much! I’ve only used it for about an hour now, but I love the flexibility and lfo routing options - the interface is easy to use and quick which is so important when you’re trying to make music (less time fiddling, more time playing) I wish the envelope attack could be increased beyond 2 seconds for bigger pads sounds, but I can’t bring myself to give less than 5 stars for this. Thanks for a great app. ### 5/5 — A beauty *2024-07-22, version 3.1.6* Capable of producing really out there, mesmerising, otherworldly sounds if you take your time with Phosphor 3. I can imagine it’s not to everyone’s tastes but if it is then there is nothing else like it. One of my favourite synths to use in almost every project, both in iOS and desktop. ### 5/5 — Capable and Amazing! *2024-02-13* I don’t know how long I’ve owned this synth but I just got around to playing it and wow, it’s fun! It has a unique feature which I’ve only seen on Copperhead by 4Pockets; it allows you to design your wave by setting the fundamentals! This is a big deal. You can learn a lot about audio waves just by observing the effect the fundamentals have in the wave shape. Too bad there’s no oscilloscope to show the effect but there’s several on the App Store you can attach to via your DAW via auV3. This is a great synth… just get it!! ### 5/5 — One of my favorite synths *2023-06-24* It’s beautiful and a great way to learn additive synthesis ### 5/5 — A rare and unique sonic beauty! 👾 *2023-06-20, version 3.1.5* I really love the unique sound, style, features and design of this synth and reach for it regularly; but especially when I just want to create and explore quickly and efficiently (without getting lost in complex settings and connections). Naturally, complexity and sophistication has its place (and I love that too). However, the emphasis here is upon its unique timeless sonic qualities (which are incredible) and it’s simplicity to operate and understand. The sounds you can tease from this beautiful synth are wonderful, as it’s just so raw and dynamic (and capable of creating a broad variety of sounds with unique timbres and sonic qualities). It’s also fantastic being able to choose between original and enhanced modes (via the cute little space invader) just an incredible synth! ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great Polysynth *2023-03-20* Not your typical polysynth, but I keep coming back because it just sounds great. Comes with some great presets too! Not aware of anything else quite like it on iOS. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — I keep coming back to it *2022-02-14, version 3.0.9* Sound design is a bit hit and miss for me with this synth, but it has a ton of great presets and has become my go-to poly synth when I want a nice chord sound or pad. ### 5/5 — Weird little synth *2020-08-21* Very versatile noise maker. Just scratching the surface of this but I can tell it’s deep. Worth the $ ### 5/5 — Brain tingling beauty *2020-06-05, version 3.0* A single instance give some incredible sounds on its own, well worth the purchase just for that. Running several AUv3 instances makes a mega multi-oscillator mind melting machine! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
