The one good thing I can say about this app is that individual samples usually sound great. In particular, the style of the sampling is dense and lush.
Other than that, the app is pretty bad. Obvious bugs abound and updates are rare. Scaling does not work properly. The interface is cluttered and outdated even when it works, with almost no proper sound organization. Instruments aren’t labeled by character, but scattered like loose seed into one long list with evocative names such as “Horns 1” “Horns 2” and “Horns 3”.
MIDI mapping doesn’t work consistently. There are a host of problems which occur when hosting that app as an Auv3. Some parts of the interface are often simply unresponsive in certain layouts.
There are no proper articulations. Many libraries have shallow multisampling with obvious repeating timbres. Reverb tails are stiff and abridged. The pianos are cheesy; two decades behind modern libraries, and outdated even on this platform.
The enormous disk size is laughable; a silly, amateur throwback to the early days of PC sample hucking. Ooh wow, it’s so big! It must be good. This app is comparable in size to the largest desktop UVI libraries, but with none of the deeply multisampled, professional, well-coded quality or dedication to the product or platform.
Highly overrated instrument with glacial development and nothing but rough edges. I encourage you to deeply consider your use case for a bloated, middling orchestral library. This isn’t the only option.

So nice. Thank you for making this.
Thank you for making this. How much fun? So much fun.
Makes no sound at all
Wish I knew what it sounded like
Love it soooo much.
This really knocked my socks off, for several reasons. But particularly for how it can help you with temperaments, tunings, and it’s very instructive/Illuminating with regard to how tuning can be used used in choral work, and pitches shifting in response to context. I’m unaware of other apps that aid in this with such a clarity and within such a truly useful interface. I want to explore further, but whenever I load from their list of patches, it all goes silent and won’t return to usefulness until I quit and restart the app. Not sure why this would be. Maybe my iPad doesn’t meet the requirements? Anyway, the one patch is mind blowing and I wish I knew how to remedy this thing that must be a glitch peculiar to my machine. I’m sure their other patches and sound banks are equally wonderful, and if I could check them out, I’d be an easy patron. It seems like it was made by someone who really loves music.
