### 5/5 — New Pitch bend Control 👌

*2026-08-04*

I have just purchased this app and it is now my 6th VAPoly synth.  I am blown away with the fact that it has a Pitch Bend Range control unlike all the other 5 in my collection, PLEASE COULD YOU ADD THIS CONTROL TO YOUR OTHER SYNTHS.
Another great feature is being able to edit the oscillator wave shape using a pencil.  This is the best addition to the VAPoly range 👌
