À savoir, version Intel ou puce M2 de Apple? Merci ### 1/5 — Kein Ton *2023-06-03, version 1.2.870* Bei mir tut sich da gar nichts. ### 3/5 — A bit disappointing if you solely use iOS *2023-02-14, version 1.2.870* I wish there was a way to install patches solely from the iPad instead of using the desktop version to transfer the files. I am solely using the iPad so till they make this capability available, this is kind of useless. ### 5/5 — Amazing Wind Modeling Synth! *2023-02-14, version 1.2.870* As a demo for the desktop version it provides a small but nice selection of expressive instruments to try & use. As a companion to the desktop VI, it is fantastic. I can transfer my favorite Respiro instruments to use with my iPad rather than my laptop. This developer is the absolute best! The documentation is helpful and clear. ### 5/5 — Simpel und gut... *2022-11-30, version 1.2.868* ... spielt sein Potential aber erst aus, wenn man die Desktop Version hat. Dann kann man all seine Sounds auch auf die App übertragen. ### 5/5 — Amazinf video fame *2022-05-29, version 1.2.867* i lov game subscirber ### 5/5 — Le rêve ! *2021-06-05, version 1.2.866* Difficile de décrire ce que l'on ressent en jouant de cet instrument. Pour se faire une idée, le mieux est d'écouter les démos sur le site du développeur. Essayé avec un EWI 5000 et un Aerophone Go, aussitôt adopté ! ### 5/5 — Respiro player with Mac Respiro wind synth *2021-05-05, version 1.2.866* The iOS player works great with a wind controller. You need the main Respiro synth on the Mac to make and save and transfer presets to the iOS player. Fantastic acoustic type sounds! Very responsive with a wind controller. If you try use this with a keyboard, you need either a breath controller or after touch. It’s not made to work without it. It’s an expressive synth if you take the time to read a few lines in the manual on how to set it up. 10 stars! One of the most expressive synth ever made! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work, uninstalled. *2021-04-28, version 1.2.865* Tried stand-alone and as a plug-in in AUM including inter app audio, doesn’t make a sound, uninstalled. Don’t waste your time. ### 5/5 — Very expressive for breath controlled instruments *2021-04-23, version 1.2.865* A must have for any serious EWI player! ## Frequently asked questions about Respiro wind ### What is Respiro wind-synth?
