### 2/5 — Limited Utility

*2024-11-02*

I like the idea of this effect plug-in, but no matter what I do, one instance always eats up ALL my DSP. I can’t get it to work properly, even in FFT mode, and my iPad Pro is only three years old and close to top-of-the-line. I think this needs addressing. (I will be happy to change my rating in the future).

While you’re at it, please update Rrarrow. It doesn’t work with Audiobus or AUM. Thank you.

### 3/5 — Disappointed

*2023-12-30*

Operating in AUM, it maxes out the cpu immediately and starts crackling.

**Developer response:** Hello!Sorry for the bad experience. Unfortunately this effect is very CPU heavy. Some options (mono processing and low fps) may help for some practical usage.The upcoming update will feature another synthesis engine with different load balance and some dsp optimizations.

### 5/5 — Dev fixed

*2024-02-01*

Latest update, the app is now usable on my iPad Air 5
