Very Disapointing

Agree that it is the best sounding Euphonium on the iPad/AU3 but it falls far short of being a truly solo instrument.

This like the other Bass instruments in this range it suffers from an appalling implementation of Vibrato. The lowest possible value is total wrong and shows lack of understanding on how Vibrato is performed on these instruments.

The use of LFO to mimic Vibrato works on certain instruments but not typically on Lower Bass instruments - where techniques such as lipping or jawing are used. Normally at an interval of the note played - these techniques give a lyrical feel to the sound.

Furthermore for monetary protection reasons about 50% of possible adjustments in these Apps have been disabled on iOS (and not for any technical or coding reason) — rendering them quite useless for ensemble work. (Rather ironically where the vibrato problem would not be an issue)

Reviewers have hinted that these might be available as an IAP - probably bringing these Apps up to the Desktop costs (currently US$50 each). Will they then move to cross platform?
