## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on Mac, despite listing compatibility

*2025-11-28*

Won’t load as an AU in either Ableton or Logic. Seems to be abandoned.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work on Macs in DAW hosts

*2025-09-03, version 1.3.2*

Despite listing Mac support in the details, the app doesn’t load in AU supported DAW’s, including Ableton Live and Logic.

### 3/5 — Incredibly aggravating interface dampens enthusiasm

*2020-11-26*

The apparent inability to simply choose sounds presented to the user in list form is a completely baffling and maddening choice by the developer. It is a huge roadblock to interaction with the app and makes no logical sense. The sounds themselves are OK. I’ll try using a different keyboard to trigger the app and will hopefully have a better experience.

### 4/5 — Nearly perfect

*2019-01-29*

Amazing sounds.
Was expecting MPE or a multi-timbral engine for my Seaboard but I can deal with "lowest note priority". Maybe in the next update it will detect the Seaboard Block and configure the MIDI CC responsively. Being able to lock the pitch bend range to 48 would be nice but I can just save over the presets. Channel pressure assignable?
These are actually minor gripes. 100% worth the investment.

### 4/5 — Much needed lite version

*2019-01-23*

As the baby brother to the original app offering AU3, this is great value. Also much, much easier to get going with. What would be nice is a fast, easy way to import sounds from the original app for use in this one.

### 4/5 — Wonderful

*2019-01-22*

No complaints from me at all.Synthscaper LE is well worth $10.00 but it’s $4.99.Not the same features as regular Sythscaper.There’s lots of app it’s compatible with.

### 5/5 — Very nice pads! Great for creative sound design!

*2022-05-18*

I never expect too much from a new app, but this one deserves a positive review. The sounds, especially the pads are deep and have feeling tied to them. An excellent synth for background film soundtracks, which is exactly what I do. Great job!

### 5/5 — Interesting sound

*2020-09-01*

Very interestingly sounding synth. Fully recommended considering the prince. Perhaps only too few sound modification options (a filter would be great).

### 5/5 — Great drone and ambient synth app

*2019-07-09*

Works great with garageband or cubasis. The developer is very reactive to fix bugs 👍😊

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2019-02-09*

Just buy it. Is that good !

### 5/5 — Excellent complement to its big brother!

*2019-01-22*

SynthScaper “Full” is an amazingly powerful audio creation tool.  This “LE” version is somewhat mis-named, in my opinion.  It is also a very powerful little brother and adds Audio Units functionality to this excellent suite.  I hope we see a similar “FieldScaper LE” in the not too distant future.
