Die Idee sie auch in Audiobus z.B. mit zusätzlichen Effekten zu benutzen kam sofort. Habe es gleich mit Eventide probiert (z.B. Blackhole) Der Sound wird nicht an Blackhole weiter gegeben. Mit SampleWiz, Geo Synthesizer und GeoShred funktioniert das. Ein Update wäre super :-) best regards from Germany ### 4/5 — Sounds cool but... *2020-10-08, version 1.32* Sounds really cool but I couldn’t connect it though Inter-app to GarageBand. :/ does anyone know what to do? ### 4/5 — Update to notch! *2019-09-07, version 1.32* Please update the app to iphones with notch, it eats parts of the interface. Great app :( ### 4/5 — Good app but there’s a major bug *2018-10-01* I love this app and it’s a fantastic unique instrument? There’s a problem with this app however, whenever I try to launch it with Audiobus 2, it doesn’t want to open ### 3/5 — Used to be great (Tachyon and Morphwiz *2018-07-16* They still play great, but you can no longer record what you’re playing and that’s a pity, because in Audiobus (and even GarageBand), you could make some wicked stuff. Very sad. ### 4/5 — Good app but needs MPE. *2018-07-11* Good app but needs MPE. I would explain more in depth but other reviews can already explain it exhaustively. Otherwise, MPE Midi seems sensible for more expression while playing on an device with force touch or an external device with such a capability. Especially when other apps made under the developer has MPE capability also. 4 stars - because while it still is a cool app released many moons ago, the app has had multiple updates and to survived the crossover to 64-bit - an omission like MPE seems odd. ### 5/5 — Excellent! PLEASE UODATE TO 64-BIT!!!! *2017-09-19* I pulled this out of my pocket On my iPhone the other day at a rehearsal - and the guys were impressed. I just put the mic up to the iPhone speaker and went for it with a solo! Great little instrument for instant soloing. Seriously, GET IT UPDATED TO 64-BIT!! ### 4/5 — Could use some more features, but an excellent instrument *2016-06-20* A simple but amazing instrument. I would suggest giving it a few more features, such as: 1. Reverb settings 2. Keyboard view 3. More sounds ### 5/5 — Excellent Instrument! *2015-07-18* Mr. Rudess is the wizard of music! While its not as customizable as the other amazing apps you offer, it gives control over notes in yet another intuitive and expressive way. The best commonality between all these apps are the ability to isolate keys and scales. Beautiful work gentlemen. I'll try to upload stuff at some point :D -B. Hasson ### 4/5 — Audiobus support THANK U! *2014-11-20* I love this app but was frustrated without audiobus support and was afraid this app was being orphaned. I am so glad for the update. This is a wonderful sounding instrument with a really nice and intuitive interface. It's not as deep as other synths - but it's really easy to make great sounding synth leads with as well as cool sounding chords. Explore the half circles to customize. Pick a scale root and scale type- then have at it. Thanks Wizdom! ### 4/5 — The bones of a new beast *2014-11-02* What Wizdom have here is the bones of something new-ish. At the moment it is great fun, and has some nice sounds. But, what it needs to make it great are a lot more of them. Even if this is as an IAP bundle. It would also be good if there were ways to import user samples, and record independently. Oh, and the whizzy stars are a pretty crude distraction. Nic ### 4/5 — Muy bueno, lástima que no se pueda grabar *2014-08-16, version 1.0* Es muy buena aplicacion, lástima que no se pueda grabar, deberían de actualizarla y hacerla compatible con audiobus. ### 5/5 — Www *2014-03-07, version 1.0* App spettacolare, suoni ben definiti e facile da utilizzare, editing abbastanza buono per un app pagata cosi poco. Ottimo :) ### 5/5 — Fantastica! *2014-01-20, version 1.0* App davvero fantastica, ben fatta, bei suoni e geniale l'idea di partenza. GREAT job Rudess! But if you could fix the black bars on the top and on the bottom when the app runs on iPhone 5, that would be GREAT! ### 5/5 — Incredible tool! *2013-09-22* This app is great! Incredibly expressive app, would be nice to see audiobus support and also the ability to import samples from sample wiz to assign to the upper or lower playing fields would be fantastic, but seriously for this price it's one hell of a machine! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Please update! *2017-12-25* Audiobus fix please, not launch .....please update ### 1/5 — It was not what I expected *2017-09-21* it does not cost much but there are better apps at the same price and it no longer works in IOs 11 **Developer response:** Tachyon has been updated to support iOS 11. ### 1/5 — Inoperativo *2015-04-01, version 1.1* La ctualización para ios8 y retina nos ha dejado el Tachyons inoperativo. Edito: ha pasado un año, y aún no me han respondido del ST. Estupendo. No compréis las apps de Jordan Rudess, dejando de lado el apartado visual no suenan especialmente bien, y si tienes un problema... Te lo comes. Muy mal ### 1/5 — Broken! *2014-10-21, version 1.1* On Ipad 2 - IOS 7, completely broken. It is not using the complete screen of the Ipad, only a portion of it, so it's impossible to play. Jordan, please tell your guys to fix this... ### 1/5 — Péssimo *2013-01-15* Péssimo, qualquer keyboard free tem as mesmas funçōes deste app. Muito limitado, sonoridade muito abaixo as expectativas. Bom para distrair crianças. ### 1/5 — No noise. *2012-08-05, version 1.0* I can't get any sound on this app...and the app support page is badly designed. Not very happy with my purchase... ### 2/5 — IAA doesn’t work. *2019-08-12* I enjoyed this app when it originally came out, but now it’s almost useless because the IAA and Audiobus compatibility doesn't work. Please fix! ### 2/5 — Good idea on paper, ultimately disappointing *2013-05-26* I bought this up because of the phenomenal morphwiz app that Jordan ruess(spelling?) endorsed, I assumed this one would be as musical and useful as that one. Wrong! One of the most crucial elements of music is controlling dynamics, which apps like kaossilator, morphwiz and bebot do brilliantly, but this one offers no such control. Just flat, robotic stale sounding tones which I could look past if they sounded good but the are downright cheese-tacular. Controlling dynamics, especially on a platform like the ipad, is the only way to make the sounds come to life in a musical way and they seriously missed the boat on that part, instead opting for some pretty star animations the for e shape of the instrument your playing. I mean they couldn't even row a digital mod wheel, or xy pad or something to control volume swells, nope it's all got to be "starry"... The sounds are cheesy and nothing beyond mere novelty status as an ipad toy. Moreover, as a gigging keyboardist looking to incorporate the ipad into my rig, I laughed when I saw the scale options, bebot and kaossilator and most other apps offer an assortment of chromatics, major scales, minors, modes, and often exotic scales that are usually completely customizable as arpeggios and so on. Five. Five scales offered. And what's more, they insult anyone who knows even a little about music theory by including the "major pentatonic" and "minor pentatonic" as two separate scales. Play the major pentatonic in the key of C, then play the minor in the key of A, only start on the note "C". You'll "see" what I mean(oooh a pun)... Jordan, I really expected more from a dude with your prestige on the keys, but its clear your cashing in on the oppurtunity, heck I'd probably do the same thing in your shoes....wait....no way!!! For shame....oh for shame... Two star because it looks nice and its functional as a toy...any serious musicians, save your hard earned money...or buy morphwiz ;) ### 2/5 — Disappointing *2013-03-17* Perhaps there's a button I didn't find, even though it seems extremely simple, but I'm ready to trash it after 5 minutes wondering why it doesn't sound good. ### 2/5 — Average *2012-08-22, version 1.0* I love SampleWiz and GeoSynth, and I do like the polyphonic morphing abilities, but in a lot of ways the sounds remind me of MorphWiz in that they are decidedly unremarkable. New musicians may find the simplicity endearing, and it's priced reasonably. But my guess is that more experienced musicians looking to record or perform won't be reaching for this one after the newness wears off. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Cool *2024-12-21, version 1.32* I’ve know this app, about 8 years ago but just bought it few minutes ago, but the dev never give update anymore Overal its cool music maker apps ### 5/5 — Love it!! *2024-02-25* I found this app from youtube comment on someone live video I searching random words but nothing hits at front i hard to found this amazing gem 💎 Love to use it ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2022-06-04* The future of touch instrument. ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2022-05-08* One of my all time favorite music apps. The developers should update it annually at a minimum so it continues to work. ### 5/5 — Hoping that my favourite app will be repaired *2019-04-18* Please restore the inter-app audio and audiobus connectivity for Tachyon especially (and Morphwiz if possible), which went missing after the ios 11 upgrade. I doubt is was intentional. The transition when sliding between notes is unparalled by other imitation apps. Wizdom music apps are among the most expressive apps available. ### 5/5 — Just,, wow. *2019-01-14* This is one of my favorite music apps.. the only thing that could possibly make it better, would be midi.. I have 1 iPad dedicated to tachyon on my synthesizer stack.. incredible ### 5/5 — Sound Top - aber nicht fürs X *2018-01-24* Wie alle WizApps ist auch Tachyon das Maß aller Dinge, wenn es um UI und Sound geht. Allerdings müsste das Programm noch an das X angepasst werden. Das kommt aber bestimmt noch. ### 5/5 — I have had this forever *2017-11-09* And still use it. ### 5/5 — Great app *2017-11-08* Sound is great. Interface is cool. This guy only makes excellent apps, and nothing boring. All the apps are special. ### 5/5 — Good, but iOS 11? *2017-11-02, version 1.2* Edited: Thanks for the 64bit update!! Please, developer could you upgrade for iOS 11? Thanks a lot, --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
