Updates?

One of the first iPad synths, what a shame it does not have any connectivity :(

Great app, great user manual!

One of the best user manuals I’ve come across on iOS. Super well done. You can figure out how to use this thing in 10 mins (but a lifetime to master -lol!)

Sounds great, super intuitive almost don’t even need a manual but I appreciate when they’re done right! A+ would buy again!

Wish list

I wish these guys would create new stuff. Their old stuff is fantastic. They created wonder right from the start when IOS was a baby.

Great old friend back again.

Thanks for updating this classic. It works with midi and I love to use it with quantum sequencer. Cheers
