AU seems to have been fixed on repeated reinstall.

Ignore. Tried reinstall again, and it now works…

Audio Unit size truncated in iPad Pro M1 12.9”

Out of goodwill, happy to give this 4 stars, but the fascia of this is abruptly cut off top and bottom, as an AUv3 inside GarageBand iPadOS, and no presets exist in standalone or AudioUnit. Plus, taking the time to fill in the Developer’s website support note request, it’s not nice when it just ghosts you with a ‘404’ . I mean, it’s 3 digits, but feels like just one…anyway, hardly life or death, but there’s none of the 14 presets, and it’s not enticing as it stands, on a 12.9” device, the UI is not really up to par. Take care all.

The AUV3 version kept crashing.

It wouldn’t load into AUM as an AUV3 and initially I thought I had tried to open the IAA. I tried that next and it sounded distorted, but not in a good way. Eventually the AUV3 version did load, but I wonder why it wouldn’t to begin with and is this a bug? I’m using it on a 2017 iPad Pro and also have a 2021 Pro, but I haven’t tried it on that yet.

Love this app - update

3 years since my last review. This is still one of my go-to delays.

For long delays and loops there is NOTHING better. As an all-around delay there’s nothing better. AU capability just made it that much better. It’s just so useful! So there!!

Sweet!

Great effects, clean interface, excellent price! Thanks for taking the time to label all the features in the app when clicking the help button. So many developers just assume we all know what all these things do, now how the hell are we supposed to learn? Devs like you, helping us to goof off! Appreciate it

Buy this app while it’s still on sale! Similar apps are 5x the price
