KQ MiniSynth Reviews

The sheer ice bubbles of modular fm

Oceans in space

This is haunted modular synthesis. FM mayhem and mind slicing photon rays create ice beams. Quite well in fact japan has a day devoted to this developer and is also worshiped in some exotic sound labs.

Awesome synth

I LOVE this soft synth. So much fun to experiment with. There are very limited instructions so you are really forced to try new things and see what happens, which is cool. Very realistic and detailed. You can learn all about signal paths and how modules effect one another, without having to set up a whole eurorack. I love the sounds I can get out of my patches and have sampled them many times!

Excellent modular synth w/ excellent support

This synth is very powerful and works without much fuss if you are use to routing. Dev was extremely responsive when I had an issue and released a fix for it quickly. Synth takes low resources which is great. I wish I could midi map to all/more of the knobs in my patch but there is more than enough to get something good going.

Settings

I'm need to adjust some of the settings so the app runs better on my Ipad2....where are settings located?? I like the App!

Nothing miniature about it

Powerful, smart, versatile, universal: tons of modular synthesis for this price

Modular synthesis, as deep you want it

Smart and accessible interface, with beast power underneath. The developer is on the case, rapid and responsive updates. Amazing modular synthesizer, also amazing for the price...

Modular synthesis with AU connectivity

I'd be lying if I pretended I understood even 20% of what this app can do - modular synths usually aren't my thing. But KQ MiniSynth has 3 things going for it: (1) It's cheap; (2) It's universal; and (3) It's works as an Audio Units (AU) instrument - one of the few functioning instrument apps as of early 2016. There's tons of capability to shape different sounds - I believe it comes with about 15 presets, but tons of slots for your own. Some of the sounds from it can be raw or harsh, but integrated with some nice FX and an EQ (like from the AUFX series), I got some pretty cool sounds from it. It can be a bit hard to use the controls on iPhone, but it's an app that will stay on my device and probably get more and more use as I get better with it.

Impressive!

So far so good. There are still a couple of things that need addressed (audio range modulation of filter and inverted envelope when patched into filter CV input) but overall...pretty impressive. I still have more to check out (like MIDI) but from playing on iPad Air, it's tons o' fun and polyphonic!

Impressive

KQ MiniSynth is a fantastic modular synth it's a great instrument and it sounds Fabulous. I hope it continues to be supported to become something even more spectacular than the sum of all its parts. There is a great deal of potential here.

Good functions and features

I'm having fun with this synth. It's a fully modular synth model with the limits not on the amount of modules but on the device running it. I don't understand what all the modules, knobs and inputs do but I am sure I can find enough info on modules and patching online to figure it all out as it seems to be pretty close to what is in use in analog set ups. The interface is very logical, easy to use and move around on, much better than other modular synth models on iOS. I like the rack mount style too because it gives a basic reference for how everything gets connected. The sound is very decent for playing around on and experimenting. The graphics could be slicker, but I kind of like that 90s raw software look to it. If the interface functions as smoothly as this does then looks really don't matter. Better this than the other way around. Congratulation to the dev for a nicely thought out app.
