Ratings and Reviews
ok.
free version is super obnoxious with the ads. i kind of liked the sound though, so i upgraded to pro. not much in the way of extra features there. still like the base sound synthesizer, so as a simple noisemaker it is kind of fun, but it has a LOT of that microclickiness/glitching at the start/end of sounds played, regardless of attack setting, making it of limited use. feels a little slopped together overall. the sound is cool enough that it could be a good app with a bit of developer TLC, but in its current state ... eh.
Not quite cooked as a learning app or a synth
I was looking for a synth similar to the Octave Kat that served as my first synth so I could teach my 4 year old sound design. (That's not as crazy as it may sound). Unfortunately this little app lacks a few things I would want... Detuning on both osc's would have been nice, the fine tuning was hard to control (never could dial in a value less than 4 and that was a pain), you can't seem to map anything but an LFO to the mod wheel (my first thought is to use the mod wheel to alter the filter), no noise!?! That's a crying shame, the best part of learning synthesis is making spooky wind and thunder sounds... Heh. The graphics are a bit meh, seems like it could have been a bit more vintage looking, but that's me being picky. The bottom line is that it generally it sounds weak and less than impressive.
Not bad
Two issues:
1. core midi & line6 midi support
2. there is a constant click with the sounds...(it seems to be coming from the filter section)
Resolve these two issues please because this is a nice bread and butter synth, I do like how the crucial controls are all on one page in front of you all times
