Model 15 Modular Synthesizer Reviews

Looks & sounds beautiful

While other apps are mindlessly following the flat & ugly fad, Moog Model 15 has an absolutely beautiful GUI that takes full advantage of the graphics capabilities everyone else is squandering. Then there’s the sound and technology here. I don’t own any Moog hardware, so if this app demonstrates “the Moog sound”, I like it. Yes, the GUI is a little unwieldy (the larger the iPad the better), but there’s not much that can be done when replicating a device such as this (the actual hardware looks just like this app). I also wish there were more included presets and more tutorials. Even without more tutorial content, I’m slowly learning more about analog and modular synthesis because of this app, and I recommend it as a synthesis education tool.

Pretty good!

I am enjoying the moog 15 on my iPad. I wish it did have more educational tutorials on it but so far so good!

This thing is real!

OK. I play and service keyboards. I just finished servicing a 1976 Moog Model 15. While researching it I came across this App. I have a number of synth Apps already like the ARP Odessey, (my first synth) Korg Wavestation, Korg M1 etc. They all sound surprisingly good. So I was hesitant to get yet another synthesizer App. And, since I had the real thing (though temporarily) I couldn’t imagine any App could have the presence and power of this amazing modular. Of course, I had to give it back to the customer so I decided to try out this App. Let me say, this is the most astonishing synth App I’ve ever heard. I was able to AB between this App and the actual synth. Again, astonishing! That famous filter sound is there and in your face. Plus, it can play polyphonically, has a nice delay effect, the sequencer, ribbon controller, and presets! I don’t know If the larger 12.9 iPad would expose more of the synth at one time but if it does, I’m getting it.

Great app!

Excellent introduction to modular synthesis and an absolute steal considering the original model 15 is thousands upon thousands of dollars. Highly recommended!

Still broken on iPad Pro gen 3, fixing it needs to be a priority

Audio crackles and stutters frequently, this has been resolved in basically all other major music and synth applications.

SOUND CRACKS

Brought the app and it’s crack like crazy! Like I have the latest iPad 3rd generation,12.9, 1 TB! How can this even be an issue, I played anything and the voice cracks like crazy! Please help!

Dang it iOS

Thanks for response, yeah, Apple really needs to figure some things out. I’ve had nothing but frustration trying to use iOS as a serious tool, from issues like the cpu usage you described, to type c hubs working/not working completely randomly. I’ve wasted a lot of time and money on this iPad. I bought it to integrate into my studio, but it’s done nothing but dead stop workflow over and over, like almost every time. Started using windows again for most audio/recording needs. It’s a shame too, this hardware is fully capable. They tell me I can’t get a refund because it’s my own fault that I waited too long to see if Apple could resolve issues, so now stuck w a 12.9 inch overpowered toy that can’t be trusted to work properly under any circumstances. Sorry for my original review, it probably wasn’t fair, and now a few apps not working properly is least of my concerns, now it’s hardware issues, random resets, randomly “not charging” randomly makes my audio interface and midi controllers have seizures, under no cpu load too. Can’t narrow down these issues they are so random and completely solve themselves then return a day or 2 later. Bah...
