### 4/5 — Supreme sound. New take on fm.

*2025-10-03*

I this is really great and quite unique sounds . Hails to creative FM!

### 3/5 — Crude polyphony

*2025-09-05*

Can’t play melody over chords because it simply cycles through the voices in a fixed order. It silences the notes of the chord as you play the melody. Huge flaw that would ruin any synth, but especially an FM synth because it can’t be played like a piano. This would be the best FM on iOS if not for this enormous omission.
