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

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.

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!

Hi I’m not replicating this, but I’m happy to fix it. Could you can’t me at http://www.sonickitten.com/about so I can look into this. Thanks for the feedback.

Quite good

The interface is a little bit hard to understand at first, but once you get the hang of it you can do some pretty funky stuff

Amazing app! Always up to date!

Such a great app wow! What’s more amazing is the developer, always on top of the updates, and couldn’t be more helpful if there’s an issue. I’d give 10 stars If I could.

Is a 5 star chip tune master

This is amazing on iPhone, it really is the coolest chip mini lab app I got. Now with full support it is so fun, even the little loop recorder is sweet. Cheers and happy chip creations and beyond.
Hey, with update I’m having basic midi issue. Just note trigger, and if it helps square synth version 1 midi has always worked better than 2. I mean that with respect and maybe others experience this? Cheers mate

Having trouble with one aspect

I bought this app to get that Crystal Castles sound and it’s perfect, but the only issue I have is that it says it’s an audio unit extension, but when I look in garageband it doesn’t appear on the list of audio unit extensions I own. How do I use it in garageband without inter app audio?

Hi there! I would try reinstalling SquareSynth 2. It should absolutely show up in there, and any other host, as an Audio Unit. It’s called SquareSynthAU. After looking into the issue, I found that this is a bug in Apple’s iOS. You have to restart your device to fix it, and then my app will show up.

很棒It's so Great

ios系统上，目前为止做chiptunes（8bit）风格最棒的音源了。

8通道发音可以外接midi音序器，单独控制每个通道的音符，让声音更饱满了。预制音色数量很多很丰富，不限于chiptunes，还可以自己设置自己的新音色。

不足的地方有：midi选项还不是很丰富，每个midi通道的音量不可实时控制，算是最大的遗憾。。。能不能用midi cc控制，还有待验证，希望能加入8个通道的volume推子功能。我会持续观望，谢谢！！

Great sounds but doesn’t work.

Buggy as hell. Finally find a synth I really like but doesn’t work with GarageBand. Either stops working or the sound gets “warped” (for lack of a better word). Will have to ask apple for a refund.

Virtually perfect

Aside from missing a little extra grit perhaps (though that’s probably subjective and easily solved with an fx au) this is a fantastic polyphonic chip tune synth that is actually quite versatile, very playable and has interesting modulation possibilities.
One of my faves at the moment.

Very nice app

Is good to have a chiptune music app :)

Only one concern

I really like this app’s sound, and the interface is really straightforward and easy to read! My only concern is that the polyphony is really limited and a lot of the keys cut off when I’m trying to make a composition. Hopefully this is something that can be improved upon but it’s a great app regardless

Great synth

This app is very practical but, the problem with returning the settings to default in cubasis3 is not fixed yet.
Looking forward for the next update.

Poor performance on GarageBand for iOS

On GarageBand, it seems to work well until it crashes. Then all of the sounds you worked hard creating go back to the initial waveform and you have to start over.

Hi! Sorry for the problems. This has been fixed in an update.

Midi doesn’t work

My midi keyboard will not play for this app. It works for all my other apps. Bummer I wasted 7 bucks.

Hi there Shimmy! The problem was that SquareSynth didn’t recognize *already connected * devices. Only ones that get plugged in after midi is enabled. That’s all Fixed now. Midi keyboards are working spectacularly.
