UPDATE: 5 stars!!! New update fixes auv3. It’s even better now that I can use with other auv3 apps. It’s definitely lining up to be a part of my sound design arsenal. Thank you!

As others have pointed out the auv3 is not working correctly. But for a free quirky tape delay it is lots of fun. Would love to come back and give it 5 stars after a fix.
