A great intro to modular synthesis
Robert Reynolds
I’m not really a modular guy; I always feel like I’m doing it wrong. One thing I love about this synth is that the presets are not only fantastic and well-rounded, but they serve as a starting point for further exploration. And did I mention, the synth sounds great!
Kinda like an 0-coast but plays nicer.

Near perfect app, just needs an option to adjust note resolution on the sequencer! (Pretty please.)
Love it, wish sequencer was in the AUv3

Sounds great and so much fun to use. Truly wish the sequencer was included in the AU. I would use it 10 times more.
Just get it

Beautiful new app from Bram Bos. All of this devs apps are awesome and well supported. He is very active on the Audiobus forum. Get all of his apps. You will not be disappointed.
A must have!

Great little synth with all the right feel. Very creative and intuitive to get new sounds. Easy connections to Ableton via Link, inter app connection via AUv3 and AUdiobus 3.
A new voice

Elegant, fluid, musical. I have been on the edge of my seat waiting for this app, and I am not disappointed. It embodies the kind of gracious organic potential in West Coast machines, while retaining the capacity for all the raucous aggressive sounds that defy imagination. It comes closer to the playable instrument for me in the same way the Animoog does, and does so by resembling the machines that inspired it much more. Can't say enough good things. All the connectivity you could dream of, enough to spur you into new territory. Applause!
Misleading pictures, there's no keyboard

Guess that's it imbedded into something else. Just a fidgety, unintuitive sequencer, with no instructions except on their website. Sounds ok but this shouldn't be aimed at beginners or the inexperienced.
It's a modular synth.
A GOOD MOUSER
If you don't know what a modular synthesizer is, you probably shouldn't get this, not unless you're willing to do a little bit of reading and experimenting. The one reviewer rating this poorly makes a good point about this probably not being a great beginner app. But his disappointment could have been avoided had he taken a cursory look at the ins and outs (ha ha) of modular synth patching, etc. If you are familiar at all with serious music making in iOS then you would probably notice right away that the keyboard screenshot displayed is clearly the keyboard in Cubasis. It is un-missable (or at least it should be). In addition, I'm pretty sure most (if not all) of Bram Bros apps are used as audio unit plug-ins in your fave DAW. Duh. So, what I'm trying to say is…please disregard that review. If you have any familiarity with using modulars, you will enjoy this app. I personally like the anachronism of a software instrument that requires you to manually form patches. It's quaint, and while it isn't really an ideal modern workflow (unless you are very familiar with how modular synths work), it is a tried and true interface in which the journey by which you reach a particular patch is just as important as the final sound you create.
how deep does the rabbit hole go?

This is not for the faint of heart or lazy person that just wants quick presets. It's for sound exploration. In order to get the most enjoyment out of this little guy, you need to be an experienced synthesist or aspire to be one. At least you don't have to blow $500+ to find out if that's you.
