My New Favorite!!

A history of great sounding apps has just gotten better! I’ve only had a few hours to play with this, but I’ve contemplated calling off from work the entire time!
Absolutely love it!!
For those of you thinking you’re not really into Synthwave, this app is for so much more than just one genre. Don’t be afraid to buy this!

Sounds are inconsistent in GarageBand

There’s a sale going on right now, but be warned that while it IS less expensive, it’s still broken. Just checked again on the latest OS just in case it was an OS problem and not an app problem. —— For example, if one creates a new song in GB. Choose a preset. Play it. Sounds good. Record it. Sounds good. Create a NEW track by duplicating the first one. (This works for EVERY other plugin) The first track now no longer sounds the same. (It doesn’t affect all instruments, if you want to hear what I’m talking about, try Jamie Mallender’s “Impending Doom”). Of all the AUV3’s I use the AudioKit ones are the most inconsistent. I understand what they’re trying to do and I commend them for it, but the results on my iPad Pro tend to be very flaky for this. Update: Just to see what would happen, I exported the GB file. That’s not what I expected to start OR the way it sounded when I closed the file. I can’t recommend this at all. Down to 1 star.

Excellent Synth With One Big Issue

Love the vibe of this synth! Nice library of preset sounds that work really well for my style. Price is exceptionally good even at the full cost is still totally worth it.

Docked one star for not being able to run it on my M1 Mac Studio. Would love to have this in my list of synths in Logic but unfortunately there’s no Mac version (would buy it if there was) and the iOS version is blocked from the Mac in the app store. I’d be willing to risk running it uncertified for Mac if it was an option 😔
