The worst yonac synth
Dull muffled sounding sawtooths . Get Magellan2 & Kauldron instead, both excellent.
it’s a little underwhelming…
I got this on sale but despite all the raving reviews I feel that the synth lacks in some basic aspects, like very limited modulation options, for example: you can only assign 3 fixed parameters to the modulation wheel, none of them is useful to me, I hate vibrato, audible LFO does almost nothing to me and why even envelope? …that is kinda weird; and nothing else? I want to assign my filter cutoff to the mod wheel… no can do… lol, also the presets are not that good and not many either. the synth sounds ok, juicy, but this modulation thing might be a real dealbreaker for me, sorry. If you fix the modulation issue and get some sound designers make some better factory presets and I can give five star rating, but not like this.

Fire starter
This app makes creating music fun. I have Adam speakers and man that sizzle on the top end is amazing. Thanks for this
Yonacs best yet
Love it dirty pretty great ui sounds wicked. My favourite so far by Yonac.
Inspiring
If you are looking for your first ios synth, get this one. Versatile and intuitive, and always sounds good. This developer always goes above and beyond. And thank you for always having a keyboard in the AUv3. That is so sorely overlooked by developers.
Power
The sounds that come out of this thing are quite good. It is super easy to use. The interface is intuitive and streamlined without being bare. It replaces multiple other synths.
Innovation and Inspiration!
This synth is full of original design and sounds superb! Something absolutely fresh and inspiring to work with!
Wish I found it sooner.
After countless performances using several different synths, I have found a keeper in trooper. It has replaced 3 synths and scratched my itch for new hardware. The sounds are very pleasing and polyphony is enough (though I could always use more). I love the simplicity and variety of sounds that can be made. Many sweet spots. Thank you!

Just wanted to thank you, we love you! Yonac!
On behalf of the iOS music community and my friends we just wanted to convey our deepest gratitude and greatest admiration for your effort, passion and hard work.
May the almighty bless you and your family for eternity, stay well, and always know that there’s always someone who’s creating awesome synth wave tracks using the trooper and others!
Truly unparalleled! Unparalleled!

Great Rompler, but...
I've not had this long so haven't even added the extra sound packs yet.
However, most annoyingly, the audio output on the iPad Pro doesn't get sent via the iPad audio feed on BlueTooth. Every other synth app does in this iPad, except Trooper. This renders it useless as it has to connect without wiring feeds to the monitor amps. I wouldn't have purchased it if I knew this.
It only plays to the iPad speakers. Grrrr. I'll keep it as a once-in-a-while synth I guess, as I did read that all of Yonac's apps don't feed to BT. Backward step that is as I'll not buy any further Yonac apps.
I recall also reading that Yonac was notified about this BT issue and said it would be resolved. Three months later....... nope. Not done yet.
But three stars for effort.

Lots of hype…
Not bad but not sure if it delivers … & the useful keyboard scroll/resize option that was standard on most yonac apps has been removed for some bizarre top menu option… This is coming from someone who has brought the majority of yonacs synth apps
Bluetooth Headphone’s?
I can’t get this instrument to pickup my Bose Bluetooth Headphone’s which work perfectly and effortlessly with all of your other synths. I have them all! Can you please tell me what I am missing
Thank you for repairing the Bluetooth Headphones. They work flawlessly. While I was waiting for this to be available, I played this synth on my Kronos 2. Wow!! This synth has some real analog flavor and the presets are outstanding. I think this is your best synth, although, I would give all of them 5 stars. Use this as as a VST instrument, and it provides more sound than most of my Mac VST synthesizers. What a bargain versus the DAW VST instruments. Comparisons to what a Kronos 2 has is quite a compliment, but deserving! Well done & thank you for the update.

Magellan 2 lite version with reduced capabilities?
I had higher hopes for this but ultimately chose the right of withdrawal, I feel like it’s a Magellan 2 lite with a moog like Gui, which I’m sure some people will love, but it’s the missing the best bits I like Mag 2 for.
It is stable and quick to respond to controls, it just does little for me, if you find Yonac’s other apps difficult to coerce sounds out of but can work with Magellan, this one may not be for you. Some of his other apps get regular use from me, but sadly this one isn’t one of them.

Beefy and ethereal!
An amazing instrument! Warm, immersive sound that will instantly transport you to that visceral knob twisting paradise. Instant buy!
Does not work with Bluetooth headphones
The app is easy to use and sounds good on its own, but I can’t use it because it doesn’t work with Bluetooth headphones, as soon as I open this app the sound gets routed back to the internal speakers.
I wanted something I could use on the go or in bed to come up with musical ideas but I don’t want to bother people around me, so I cant use it as is.

What Happened to the SPAWN option that set Yonac apart?
I REALLY hated giving this app only 3 stars, but I feel the greatest asset to Yonac apps has been how each app has always packed a ton of solid features in an IOS app, one being the SPAWN ability! I am not sure why Yonac would not add MORE dynamics to the Spawn feature, (unless) the devs felt that it may cause users to “create” patches and not *BUY* the IAP’s? That would be the only reason I could imagine the guys at Yonac decided NOT to add this particular feature.
I would LOVE to see this feature added back, as a person who spends HOURS in both Magellan and Magellan 2, SPAWN is a PERFECT jump off point in making some pretty amazing patches! With both mentioned apps, I have made some killer presets that I would have never ever been able to come up with using canned presets and using those patches as jumping off points.
Spawn allows a user to explore new ways to pull off some incredible sounds that spark 100’s of new and fresh ideas that the user may NEVER have dreamed up otherwise! I have some patches that rival my Les Paul in crunchy Rhythms, and my Kramer SM1 in screaming leads… I have patches I created on Magellan 2 that mimic “Air Supply, Dream Theater, Pink Floyd, The Cars, EL&P, and even Korn’s basses and Tools intros” by using SPAWN as my jump off point!
Please add SPAWN to this synth, I feel that you would be doing an injustice to an amazing lineup of apps from Yonac! I feel that one day ‘our children’ will be calling these apps that are ground breaking classic synths like we now call analog Korg, or Moogs classics! Thanks Team!

Hello! Thanks for the feedback and thanks for the SPAWN love. We are hoping to bring SPAWN to TROOPER sometime in the future. TROOPER has a different architecture from our other synths, so while it's something we want it to have, it needs more time for us to refine it for TROOPER. Cheers! - The Yonac Team
Trooper synth by Yonac
Another solid soft synth that will be a classic in the near feature and great for live performances, soundscapes, movie scores.
Check out Galileo and Galileo 2 synth, two very versatile and well designed soft synths for all genre of organ related music 60s to present!
I recommend these soft synths to add to your arsenal to fit any style of music you want to play. All we need from Yonac is a Rhodes electric piano preset.

Terrible name
“Trouper” might make sense for an easy-to-use instrument. This way makes no discernible sense.
Still, because of the past performance of the developer, I bought the thing. As expected, it sounds great. It needs more modulation options (and there is room in the UI for a few more without significant changes to the look and feel). But what it does, it does very well.
I do hate the name enough that I would not have bought this app were it offered by a new developer.
If you can abide the name, this is a first-rate quick-result synth from a developer with several great instruments available.

Another solid synth app. Great work!
The Best of Yonac
Monstrous sounds, excellent gui, the usual swathes of usable presets- Yonac’s best synth to date. It’s as good as hardware- that’s how good this thing is.
