Love this app

But I’m curious if there will be an update or new version?

Needs AUv3 update

Fantastic synth, one of my all-time favourites, but gets little use these days due to lack of AU compatibility.

Still works, but unlike its little brother, only works as an IAA app and so clunky when trying to use in a host, such as AUM.

No updates for 6 years, no AUv3 compatibility, such a waste of a great - and at the time I bought it - relatively expensive - app.

Still my must beloved Synth on IOS period!

I actually use this is a number of my tracks! Okay this synth has been around awhile, and I’ve have been using it for several years, and it NEVER gets old sound designing with this synth… I call it a synth but it is so much more than just a synth. It’s a literal BEAST and it serves so many endless possibilities of placement within my music (and I play a lot of Heavy Metal) I write with a guitar acoustic, or electric, and then will go back and lay Bass, drums, and vocals, then I will go in and begin to layer, and this thing allows you to add so MUCH into 1 preset that there is nothing you can’t fully do with this 1 synth! The warmth that this synth brings to a sample that you load makes this synth more like a sampler/synth! I will open an empty preset and have 9 sounds that I can add by browsing the pre-installed sounds, or pull my own sounds in by Dropbox, I will add a cello in say the C1 octave range and maybe add Bass in the -1 Octave then and then add a muted piano in the C3 range…switch to the 2nd slot and add maybe some thunder, then a gentle rain, as well as adding someone breathing in the -1 octave then the third slot and add a haunting wind in the C0 octave range, and then add some drama by adding someone distorted guitar! I will then go to the effect page and it is ready for some complex effecting on each slot! I will play 1 note and it’s like a cinematic film sound track! Love this app!

Really excellent randomizer function, the results of which are worthy of having songs built around them.
