The sounds are good, and playability is decent, but why would you pay to play sounds and as you put it-rent-an app while others out there are of much higher quality and don't nickel and dime us monthly, but do it the ios way ONE PRICE, Forever! I do not rent apps nor will many of us ever do so, because frankly in this case, it would hardly deserve anything over ten to BUY it and everything in it, but to rent it monthly is absurd. ### 3/5 — Screen resolution issue *2024-03-18* Bottom of screen is cut off on iPad Air Gen 5, which has a resolution of 2360 x 1640. This is a ration of .695. The app displays correctly on an iPad Air 2, which has a resolution of 2048 x 1536 and a ration of .75. The app is pretty nice though. You can have 4 layers / synths running at once. There are a ton of nice effects to add for each layer independently. I also think it sounds great. I hope they can fix this issue in a future version. ### 3/5 — Fix please *2023-02-21* One I start to play after a while the keys get stuck so I think it is latched so I go to the arpeggiator and it’s off nothing is latched but when I turn it off and on again it just gets stuck again so can you please fix this ### 1/5 — Variety Is The Spice Of Life *2023-01-14* A quote from The Hobbit: “Everything tastes like chicken except the chicken, which tastes like fish!” I tried the free version just to get an idea on the accuracy of the four instruments. They all sounded like the same patch except the Blau, which sounded like the chime setting on an old Kimball organ. Not impressed at this point. I only want three of the synths offered, is it possible to get just those on IOS? ### 4/5 — Keystage *2022-11-16* Love it but it’s hard to use when it doesn’t work, Haha. Stand alone fine. It does not seem to play nice with Keystage. Maybe it’s me… ### 1/5 — Warning *2022-09-19, version 1.2.4* If your wanting to use this as AUv3 don’t bother just crashes constantly trial it first plus it seems like every synth sounds pretty much the same in therory it’s awesome but for the price of it and what you actually get just a big fat no ### 1/5 — Not functional *2022-06-19* Big fan of IK Amplitube is amazing. But this app is simply unusable. The UI is cool completely unresponsive. Adding a MIDI controller just makes it worse. The non mobile version is really good. This one is not. ### 4/5 — I LIKE IT BUT.... *2022-04-16* App version needs a deep editing feature for changing waveforms with sub-oscillators. Overall, it’s awesome! ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2022-04-04, version 1.2.4* Yes you get the “synths” but no real control over them so they never sound quite right. IK can’t you let us at least have the oscillators?? ### 2/5 — Unusable in any form of live environment *2022-01-13, version 1.2.4* It’s a very expensive nice to have bare clone of the windows version. Unfortunately though, the amount of held notes it errors on constantly if you touch the screen whilst playing make it unusable, and there’s no panic button to hit to try and quickly reset. To be honest, the moog and korg emulations are so much more revealing than this. This app isn’t cheap, and it’s completely outshined by the former and the impressive AudioKit synths that pay homage to a genre. Wasted opportunity, and also seemingly forgotten about by IK at this point. Could’ve been so much better. ## Frequently asked questions about Syntronik CS ### What is Syntronik CS?
