### 1/5 — Needs an update.

*2025-05-05*

This app no longer works as a remote for the ContinuuMini with FW version 10.52. This leaves a serious hole in using it as a preset and parameter controller during live performances.
Please help us with an update.  Thank you!

### 3/5 — Crashes both AUM and audiobus 3 in iOS 16 at least

*2022-11-25*

Fun app and it has great sounds, but it does not work well with standard music creation software

### 3/5 — This app deserves an update

*2022-09-29*

The sounds this can make are really great, and I love all the possible parameters to tweak.

But, it either needs a full update to Auv3, or be made an Inter-App audio “instrument” in order to be usable in any meaningful way in a host.

I would happily pay for an updated Auv3 version, and alot more than what this app currently costs.

### 3/5 — Continuumini not responding

*2020-11-30*

I believe I purchased this in error, unfortunately there is no apparent way to connect to a Continuumini as its USB is the wrong type. Ironically it does power up, but no data connectivity.  Please cancel my order if possible. Thanks!

### 3/5 — Crashes on iOS 9

*2015-09-19*

Doesn't play nice with iOS 9. Crashes right on start up on a iPhone 6.

### 4/5 — Great physical modeling, needs AUv3

*2024-11-26*

The control surface is expressive but quite sensitive. I’d love to utilize the patches and controls via a more traditional MIDI controller. Hoping the developer adds AUv3 support so that’s possible on apps like AUM rather than just Audiobus.

### 4/5 — Connectivity Issue

*2023-08-01*

I picked up an iPad and a WIDI Jack from CME with the intention of making the customization and performance with my Continuum more simplified. That proved to be necessary since I have an Osmose here and the Haken Editor (a MAX application) was clashing with the Osmose editor on my MacBook Pro.

My thought process was to use the MacBook Pro with Haken Editor to work with the Osmose and use this app to work with the Continuum (keeping the two worlds separate and thus allowing for editing both devices at the same time). An added benefit would be the capability of editing my continuum without needing to boot up my laptop and load MAX.

Sadly, this app only seems to work with a wired USB connection. Whenever attempting to use the WIDI Jack; this app gets stuck loading the Continuum’s presets and is unable to proceed with allowing me to interact with anything. Thus - this app is not entirely useless to me, but it is not what I was expecting and this leaves me with a less than ideal solution. The app has an option for Bluetooth MIDI connectivity, so I don’t believe that I’m using it in a manner which is inconsistent with how it was designed to function. I just wish that this will be fixed up one day.

### 4/5 — Great Sound !

*2020-12-04*

Very rich sound but bluetooth midi connexion seems to be broken right now.. please update ;)

### 4/5 — App crashes when activating Bluetooth midi

*2020-05-09*

This is is exactly what I have been looking for except when I click Bluetooth midi, the app crashes. Please fix.

### 5/5 — An intuitive beauty of an instrument!!!

*2026-05-16*

Absolutely Remarkable!!! Please develop some more instruments based on physics etc?!? ... This thing is Incredible!!!

Absolutely Remarkable!!! Please develop some more instruments based on physics etc?!? ... This thing is Incredible!!!

### 5/5 — Absolutely essential

*2019-10-19, version 3.1*

Wonderful collaboration for all things Hakeen!!!

### 5/5 — Good Engine for foley FX artist

*2017-01-05*

Great synth with lots of control over engine for natural sound design of springs, metallics, slapstick, FX and things that fly through busy kitchens, or go bump in your utility drawer. It can be used to design foley sound FX or melodic harmonic pads. The interface was a bit unusual at first with the pinballs, but plays a part in the physicality mass and velocity. 

Thanks for the 2017 update! 

I use it on my iPad Air 2 iOS10.2

### 5/5 — In...

*2016-12-28, version 2.0*

...credible!

### 5/5 — Unique and wonderful

*2016-05-30, version 2.0*

I can't believe I overlooked this app for so long. Don't make the same mistake. Works great as an instrument or effect.
Recommended doubleplus!

### 5/5 — New sound

*2015-02-23*

Nouveau et très ludique .

### 5/5 — Excellent !!

*2014-10-12*

Excellent app. Perfect slide ! I want real instrument presets though e.g. Violin, flute, cello, guitar etc. Please update the sound bank with real instruments.

### 5/5 — Interesting synth

*2014-10-07*

Very much a tweak machine, lots of parameters to mess with, making for a journey of madness!
