Love this app

Makes creating beautiful music super easy

A Delightful and Unique Musical Instrument

This is a truly beautiful iPad instrument.
Possibly my favourite instrument app in the AppStore.
(I have a LOT of music apps ;) )
Fun to play on its own, and also as a controller of other synth and drum apps.
Not perfect, but so very very close.

Hipnotizante, y tiene mucho más de lo que parece

Ver algún tutorial en YouTube, es imprescindible para usarla, y es una gran App para pasar un tiempo agradable, generar progresiones de acordes, secuenciar ritmos, introducir variabilidad, y combinarlo con hipnotizantes pulsaciones en tiempo real para añadir movimiento y strums, con varios “ribbons” para combinar sonidos adicionales.

La App lo tiene todo y sonidos de gran calidad, aunque también se pueden enviar datos MIDI a Apps de terceros y exportar las creaciones.

AUv3 Version Please!

I love everything about this softsynth except it’s not compatible with AUv3. Please update this so I can get more use out of it.

Todo un descubrimiento.

Impresionado por la sencillez y a la vez lo completo que es. Para cuando una versión nueva AV3. Enhorabuena y gracias por todos tus programas. Bravo.
