Crazy good sound and unique synth

I love modular synths, and this one is cool. I have haf no trouble and its proper updated so everything works i think well. The patch bay is great, the ability to use odd tunngs and harmonic tools is great. I stick to the normal tempered scale, chromatic. I think its quality is top notch and a fab modular option!

Da provare!

Piccolo synth ma pieno di carattere. Ci sto tirando fuori suoni molto interessanti.

Impossible Interface

The labels are absolutely unreadable without a telescope. This may be an amazing synth to make sound with, but without being able to read the labels it may be pretty, but definitely is useless.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback! With the 2.0.10 update I worked hard for improving the UI on small screens. Thanks for the patience.
