Reviews
The best full-featured synthesizer on iPad now on iPhone
perdolum
Magellan is the best full-featured synthesizer on the iPad. Now, it is the best full-featured synthesizer on the iPhone. And after a few minutes of playing with this app, it is definitely a very well-done port to the iPhone's 5's 4 inch screen. I am very impressed and look forward to creating music in a more mobile environment with this instrument!
Sound Bank Issues
Lost13Soul
This app has a lot of really awesome sounds and tweaking. By far it's the best I've used for creating music, my issue is sound bank 5-10 isn't working on my iPod touch... Idk if it needs an update or is anyone else having this problem? Please fix if possible, I would like to use this app to its full potential.
5 stars easy

I got to say that Yonac really puts out some very good Synth, and Magellan Jr. is another wonderful app that to me surpasses most synth apps I have now. Right off the bat this baby puts out some great sounds and the UI is very good for the lil brother version. Copy/paste as well as other features you would expect from a music app are present and works very well. Excellent app and is well worth the intro purchase ($1.99). For Synthstation 25 owners, The Midi Bridge app is the go to for playing core midi apps like Magellan Jr. Put it to the test with Magellan after my purchase and it works great! I've been using Midi Bridge by Audeionic for over a year and has not let me down when I want to access my core midi apps.
Beyond Amazing!!

Exceptional update. Audiobus support, new fx. And a lot more. There are some really good synths in the app store. Magellan is right up there with the best of the best. Outstanding synth, great company/developers! The presets are very nice sounding, very easy to use. Only thing I would like would be an offline user manual.
Almost perfection.

I've purchased and mucked with just about every iOS synth available. There are so many incredible instruments to choose from, but each has a fatal flaw of one sort or another with respect to workflow, and this creates tension in the creative process that is not always pleasant. I now require simplicity - fewer apps in the production chain, higher quality sounds, playability, good sequencing, copy/paste, etc. Magellan delivers. It's the only dedicated synth remaining on my device, and that says a lot given the phenomenal competition. Now, please provide an optional graphical interface without faux wood. :)
Big sound in your pocket
David Wilson-Okamura
Magellan has become one of my favorite synths for iPad. It's got a rich sound, with lots of power and flexibility. Once I saw -- or rather, heard -- what it could do on the iPad, I of course wanted it for my iPod Touch, which goes places that my iPad never does (the office, the car, various pockets).With this app, that dream is realized. The only major feature that got left behind in the translation from big screen to small is synth layering -- the iPad version can do two timbres, with separate effects -- but everything else is here, including the sound, in a well-designed package. I'm particulary impressed by how usable the keyboard and touchpad are. The larger screens on the new 5G models are a help, but actually playing notes on these little devices is always going to be tricky. Yonac seems to have thought of everything. There's a lot to explore here, but have a look, in particular, at the touchpad and the chord matrix. Together, these two features will help you to maximize the expressiveness of the small-screen interface. I have noticed one bug: the arpeggiator works on my iPod Touch 5G, but not the 4G.
Truly amazing, but
Phill Plong
1. I wish the tape deck was improved. it's a little challenging to record a loop perfectly because the recording starts late it seems. it would also be great to have an overdub function. Having a 4-track tape deck would be superb. 2. When enabling full glide, the synth retriggers when sliding up or down to a new note. I'm not sure if there's a way to disable this, but if not then it would be great to have seamless glides between pitches
Simply Amazing
WendellRM
Truly amazing application, one of the few apps that work in the Audiobus effects slot so not only do you get a superbly in depth synth but you can also run your other instruments through Magellan's FX. Definitely worth the 5 bucks.
Great Sounds And Features
Allinone The Great
Great Vst for the price and this works well with Beatmaker 2. I am still learning the ins and outs of this but awesome sounds and features so far better than all other Vst apps. There needs to be a tutorial on how to use the midi and audio settings with this app with Beatmaker 2 as how to have the midi sounds from here run through the Beatmaker 2 keyboard for recording.
