素材はいいのに勿体無い

サウンド自体は非常に良いが、プリセットの呼び出しがロード扱いであったり、どこで反応しているのか解りづらいスライダーの操作感など、使用感はまるで悪い。
あと全く一切音が鳴らなくなるバグもある。

Good app, but…

I like the sound, but I can’t modify it at all. I am blind and voiceover isn’t showing any sliders to modify. I can’t modify the sound at all. Btw I use this in GarageBand

It’s very important to me to support vision impaired users. I will find out what the trouble is with Voice Over. If you have some time, stop by the feedback page and send a message so I can communicate further with you on this issue. Thanks for the feedback! http://www.sonickitten.com/about

how does the AU work?

is there a way to actually edit sounds with the program running as a plug-in in garageband? it’s just like a default square wave for me and I can’t find any sort of edit window

Response from developer

You should be able to tap the knob icon above the piano keys, and that should show you the SquareSynth GUI. Can you see the orange and gray SquareSynth controls?

Sliders don’t work.

So I was trying to use the device, and as I assigned the wave functions on the synth the sliders would lock up and fail to be adjustable.

Response from developer

Hey sorry to hear about this issue. I’ve heard this from a few people now, can you reach out to me at http://www.sonickitten.com/about so I can communicate further with you on this? I am not replicating the issue on my end. Thanks for the feedback.

Please

This is an amazing app, but please please please please please fix the glitchy-ness. It doesn’t play nice with AUM; changing the y-axis zoom often makes things go crazy; the buttons don’t scale correctly when resizing, but it sounds super and I want it to be the best it can be!
