PWM on all oscillator shapes , but no way to modulate them . MIDI in but no AuV3 . The AN2015 needs these even if it’s an IAP or broken out as a separate app paid app . It’s a great sounding engine don’t let it go to waste Yamaha ! It would be a 5 star for me if it weren’t for the way it’s packaged with these short comings . ### 3/5 — Midi keyboard not working *2021-01-25, version 2.4.2* I can no longer use this app with a Bluetooth connection (using the UD-BT01) to a midi keyboard. I thought it was because the app now requires iOS 13 as a minimum, but the Bluetooth midi keyboard connection to my wife’s iPhone X does not work either. You can play the app on the iPhone with the screen keyboard but not with a midi keyboard connected via Bluetooth. ### 1/5 — ?!?!? *2020-09-09* What is that?!?!? A book? An music app? I guess the app is not working properly on my device because some say here that this is a music app they use. Messy, unclear, just wrong.... ### 5/5 — Synth History Forbidden? *2020-04-24* i love the new look but the Synth History and the Portal both point to a Forbidden page! ### 5/5 — Since you're updating... *2019-10-31, version 2.3.3* Could we please get landscape mode like your other yamaha app. Portrait makes this hard to use with iPad which is used formusicmaking ### 2/5 — Not fullscreen *2019-06-30* Cant fullscreen on ipad 5 ### 4/5 — Awesome app but please add landscape mode for AN synth *2019-02-21, version 2.3.2* I use the AN synth in this app a lot reminds me of my old AN1X. Sounds amazing! I use a dock for my iPad that positions it in landscape. The AN synth I have to use sideways which is a pain. If only it would rotate to whatever position the iPad is in it would be perfec—— well perfect would be if Yamaha added the AN synth engine to the Montage then it would truly be the heavy weight champ of synths. ### 5/5 — Nice *2017-12-21* Why haven’t I already had this beautiful app good job Yamaha! Only thing please allow background audio only thing missing thank you! ## Frequently asked questions about Yamaha Synth Book ### What does the Yamaha Synth Book app do?
