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.

Another Home Run!

If you know and love Rob’s other apps, you’ll love this! Great go-to sounds that are easy to find and quickly dial in the just right variation if you need it. Not lots of menu diving here, just a straight forward interface with the basics right at your fingertips. Great sounds that fit nicely in the mix.

Great app

Sounds great thx

It really doesn’t do all that much.

There’s not really a lot there to do much with. The modulation ranges seem tame. The instruments, well there there but not very much musical dynamics. The ‘dial’ an instrument (or left/right arrows) seem a little...mundane. I guess the ID700 spoiled me (it’s on sale for a couple of bucks more.

Response from developer

Really sorry to hear you're clearly disappointed with Waverley XL. For anyone else reading this, please do take the time to read the App Store description, which mentions that this app (unlike ID700) is a sample-based instrument, not a synthesiser, so has limitations in many regards. Also, the UI is literally what you see in the screenshots. There are now several YT demos (including one pre-release) which should give you an idea of how the instruments sound. I only design sounds that I like personally, in the hope others might like them too, but we all have different tastes. The demos will give you a very good idea of the overall character of the Waverley XL instruments, including their dynamic response (see technical specifications in App Store description). It's not ideal, but it's the closest we have to "try before you buy".
