### 5/5 — Freq/Amp with Arbitrary Waveform Drawing

*2014-04-17, version 1.4c*

exactly what I wanted

### 5/5 — simply awesome.

*2014-03-08*

title says it all.

### 5/5 — Multitouch Thereminish Sounds

*2013-12-08*

Mulititouch Thereminish sound with waveform draw and record. Nothing quite like it.

### 5/5 — Fun for the kids

*2013-06-09*

Just the sort of thing that will keep the rug rats busy for hours :)

### 5/5 — Rad

*2013-06-03*

I love it!!! Great sound design tool, or just a fun toy! Buy it!!!!!

### 5/5 — 👍

*2013-02-18, version 1.3*

😄

### 4/5 — Very cool

*2013-02-13*

This is a great synth. Easy to run and fun on stage !
Recommended.

### 5/5 — Отличная вещь!

*2012-12-26*

Своих денег стоит 100%, для особенно радует возможность записи в wav формат и экспорт через itunes  file sharing для последующей обработки. Для легкого саунд-дизайна самое оно!

### 4/5 — Simple yet powerful

*2012-08-20*

When you combine this with midi control, you can do a lot with this app which doesn't use a lot of system resources.

Being able to run this app in the background would make it a five star app.

### 5/5 — Whoa!!!!  WoW!

*2012-07-14, version 1.3*

See ya in a day or two. LOL

### 4/5 — Good

*2012-04-20*

Nice little app with great visuals.
What I dislike is that with multiple touches this loud beating sound emerges.

### 5/5 — Ol Raver

*2012-04-08*

A juicy red apple is nice BUT not every apple is red!!!

### 5/5 — Seriously?

*2012-02-09*

If you want the coolest sound fx app ever buy this. Omg. My wife wants to kill me but I can't stop playing with it.  You can record

### 1/5 — Gros Bug

*2014-11-15*

Il semble définitivement avoir un problème avec ce créateur d'app.
C'est dommage parce que son champ de découvertes musicales est absolument fascinant!

Dans le cas qui laisse à désirer ici, est que je n'ai pas accès aux outils et il m'est impossible de changer aucun paramètre. Je navigue dons en surface de l'app...

### 2/5 — Ugh

*2012-03-19*

Very limited.  Don't pay money for this.

### 2/5 — Not quite there.

*2011-07-17*

This is ok, but not worth a paid app as yet.

Need to be able to modify/disable delay.
Need to be able to save and load waves.
Need to be able to play your wave via MIDI.

When that comes, this will be a decent app.

### 3/5 — Cool app - memory issue with iOS7

*2013-10-22, version 1.4c*

This is a really interesting app, I enjoyed using. After a few opens, it somehow claimed 22 gb of my iPad memory. I deleted and reinstalled, and it's normal right now, but just a heads up.

### 3/5 — Needs a way to turn off the arpeggiator

*2011-07-27*

Kind of cool but needs a way to turn off the arpeggiator and just have smooth polyphony, and also a way to adjust or turn off the effects. The developer's other app Sunvox is briliant so I expect good things in future releases of PixelWave. Hint hint. :-)

1.1 update: hey great, already some improvements. 

What would be great is a way to set arpeggiation speed, say by treating the notes as 8th notes and providing a bpm control.

### 3/5 — Review

*2011-07-15*

'Tone' and 'Waveform' text keep fading out and in. Otherwise a menu would be nice:
- preset waves
- other colors
I do like how minimalistic this is though, so perhaps access the menu via shaking, so no space is taken up by buttons

### 4/5 — Cool Ed Tool!

*2015-06-06*

For those that understand Fourier theory but want to see (hear) it in action, this helps you visualize how different waveforms sound. Plus musicians can save waveforms and recordings of the onscreen play surface (amplitude & pitch x&y axis) then import them into a wave table synth or sampler to create your own instruments. Very cool! Wish it had a basic reverb instead of the echo effect, but no big deal.

### 4/5 — Good but a little limited

*2014-09-05*

Really nice sounds, would be great to see further functionality. Sequencer and further control, LFO's and filters etc. Worth the cheap price though:-)

### 4/5 — Not bad.

*2013-05-21*

Cool strange sounds.  

Can't see it in audiobus.  Don't think it is quite working yet.

### 4/5 — Lean, mean, Bass lows'

*2013-03-09, version 1.3*

### 5/5 — Wish it had updated export options.

*2024-06-04*

AudioCopy isn’t utilized and the process often makes me overlook Alex’s beautiful Soviet soundsmithing.   Buy all of the apps, and then respect Alex’s work and get them ALL!!!

What a stellar thing!

### 5/5 — Phenomenal

*2020-04-30*

I don’t recall what I paid for this app but I know I got my money’s worth x10.  Fantastic way to learn about wave table concepts.  This dev simply can’t miss.  Buy all his apps, you won’t regret it.
