User reviews

this app has some great samples

that will eat up all your storage and will never download, the packs are expensive, and you cant work with them.
you can do better, save your money....

Nice but wish it ran on iPhone

Most of Christian’s other apps do but this one does not.

Would be nice to be able to create on a phone instead of only being able to use a iPad.

Amazing sounds, meh consistency

It sounds great, but when recording I have trouble keeping the audio playing with GarageBand. After I’ve recorded a track too! Hopefully there’s a fix for it!

Bloated IAP fest

app is 1.3gb BEFORE you download any soundbanks. its just a basic rompler powered by in-app purchases. steer clear.

Response from developer

Our focus is always on how it will sound, not how it is achieved. So yes, samples were taken as basis, but we are also using hybrid concepts here e.g. for the described Glissando feature.

Amazing sounds but I didn’t find what I was looking for.

I’m struggling to think of what to say about this app. And yet I sense terrific potential here. It is basically a sound bank to host audio samples to a keyboard/synth. The app is a rather large, 1.3Gb, yet comes with only 1 sound sample, which I didn’t find inspiring. The app itself is free. All the rest of the content is iaps.
The interface is quite straight forward which is what you would want when reaching for sounds from your keyboard/synth. The individual sound sets are huge. If you bought 5 or 6 you would be storing 20Gb easily. The sound quality of the samples seems excellent. I think most of the app’s 1.3Gb is made up of stored video files previewing the different sound bank sets available. The video demos of the individual sound samples are very well done and you get some good ideas how some of the sounds could make quite a compelling piece.
I spend quite a while listening to most of the demo videos and was impressed, although I didn’t find what I was looking for. At the end I felt I would have grouped almost half of all samples in different categories all into the organ category. In the nature category I didn’t hear anything remotely like nature. I was puzzled. I had a completely different impression what those titles would have sounded like. I guess I’m not quite the right fit for the sound sets. In the middle of the interface is a large wide elliptical representation of the sound field (I guess). It is interesting to watch, perhaps a bit hypnotic, but I wasn’t sure what I was supposed to be learning from it.
The app’s main purpose is to sell the sound sets. I’m sure the sound library will continue to grow. The sounds are excellent quality. For the sound packs to be successful the content needs to fit the titles better. The app looks a lot like a regular synth app so perhaps it isn’t getting the attention it deserves.
Considering the huge amount of memory involved I would hope it is possible to delete the sounds you don’t want to save space.
Thinking of the different sound samples and their names, I would never have connected the sound with the given title. I would have to listen to each one to hear what it sounded like but I would not be able to remember the names with the sounds. It would be like that over and over.
So I’m not quite the right person for this app but I’m sure lots of people will love it.
