Love it!

Any chance you can flip this as an instrument to load and play user samples?

Great rompler for electronic music

It does have a ton of rich sounds and you can tweak amp, pitch, filter and lfo. standaloneで動作するよう作られていません。AUv3プラグインとしてGarageBand などのホスト上でのみ動作します。

Gorgeous

Wonderful sounding instruments and surprisingly versatile; as it is more like a rompler than a synth, I wasn't expecting so much control. Just enough control, in fact. I'm not an expert sound designer and am baffled by synths with dozens of knobs, so Waverley's ability to make lush pads with a few adjustments to excellent presets is very welcome. I'd have saved a fortune if I'd discovered this a year ago.

Superb

There’s a problem with this instrument- all the presets are just too damn good! Normally I flick through my new AUV’s and select about twenty odd presets that stand out and use those but I can’t do that with XL as every one is superb and that’s where the effort has gone into this app. I’d happily create an entire track just using this app, which is something I can’t say for all my gear.
