### 5/5 — Another home run by Analog Matthew

*2026-07-13*

App says Audiokit pro, I click buy. End of story. You should do the same if you want the best sounding synths on the App Store. Like Pokémon… Gotta collect them all!

### 5/5 — Absolute Killer Synth that everybody should have in their soft synthesiser arsenal!

*2026-06-26*

Really awesome sounds, lots of sound design options, exceptionally fair price and does way more than you would think at first glance.

### 1/5 — arp not synced

*2026-06-05*

the midi sync toggle has no effect. sad this wasn’t thoroughly tested before release

### 4/5 — Randomise

*2026-05-27*

Love the sounds but the last time I used it, the randomise feature just changes to a different preset rather than randomising the parameters for some crazy stuff!

### 1/5 — LFO doesn’t work anymore

*2026-04-30, version 1.3*

LFO stops working when you hit play, after the last update.

### 5/5 — virALus

*2026-04-23*

Now everbody can hear why the TI2 was such a remarkabel synth for trance, techno etc..

### 5/5 — Great program

*2026-04-04*

I’ve been using this program for about 4 months that’s the first version 2 a lot of great sound similar to my Juno 60 this version is no disappointment keep up the good work

### 5/5 — Such a joy to play with and experiment

*2026-04-03*

I’m a guitar player but I’ve also always been fascinated by the breadth of sonic possibilities of synths since the albums I was buying in the 1970s onwards. While the synths of those days were hugely expensive and equally too intimidating to ever consider experimenting with, this one is joyously neither. As my own 70s are on the horizon soon, this is going to keep me very happy and musically productive until I drop.

### 5/5 — Surprised at the Quality

*2026-02-23, version 1.2.1*

Always wanted an Access Virus synth. I never got one but this thing is very realistic, fatness wise.

### 4/5 — Great synth!

*2026-02-22*

This sounds so good, runs great on M5 iPad Pro. A lot of fun to play! If I had two requests, it would be to have a longer sequencer and to have longer release envelopes(20 seconds might be enough for some, but I like to make chill out meditative drones, and I would love to see release envelopes up to 60 seconds. Maybe in a future synth you make? Pretty please?) Still, a fantastic synth, so great job to the developer, thanks for your amazing work! Love it!!!
