Soundmondo - US Reviews

Fast

tempest93

It works and is very fast. I've been using it with my iPad and couldn't believe how fast patches load in my CS. You don't even need their soundmondo site , you can email patches as QR codes and just hold your phone/iPad up to your monitor to scan it and the preset gets stored instantly in your library. Note- remember to enable camera access to the capture app in your settings.

Include soundmodo access please

BubbaHoTep

Given that a iDevice can't run Chrome webmidi, please allow the ability to browse and download patches from the website via this app. It doesn't make sense to have to connect and disconnect the reface from midi to save third party patches locally.

Useful but basic

WaveformDelta

I've been using this with the reface DX, and does what it says on the tin: provide an outboard memory for patches, with access to many more via the Soundmodo site. FEATURE REQUEST: auto-detection of which reface model you're connected to.

Better than nothing, needs fixing

Pros: you can save presets with it, and even transfer presets between iDevices using the QR scanner. Cons: the cloud access is broken. You can log into Soundmondo and browse publicly shared presets. I'm guessing you can also download and use them successfully. But I've tried uploading a private preset, which seems to have happened, but I'm not able to view it in my profile. If I try to upload it again, it gives an error saying there's already a preset with that name. ? PS: when they say you need google chrome for web access to it, they must mean on an actual desktop, because it doesn't work in chrome on iPad. Yamaha needs to come to terms with the fact that nobody else likes desktop computers as much as they apparently do. They did this same thing with the AN200; much of its functionality is trapped behind an old Windows app.

Wonderful fun

Love this app, fast and easy to experiment with different sounds, very practical as a patch library too. A++ Wish every instrument company had this. All the Reface stuff is amazing quality.

Sign In is broken

Mitch Moser

This application requires signing into an account to save presets that are shared. But currently the ability to sign into the application is broken. I've talked with Yamaha support and they're aware of the issue. I was not given a timeframe for this issue to be resolved. It'd be a good app if it was working.

Useless Waste of Time

This app has promise, but it’s worthless at the moment. I can log into my Yamaha Soundmondo account with my Macbook Pro and save presets with no problem, but the I can’t even login with my iPhone or iPad. The app gives the message: Failed to sign-in. Please confirm your username and password. Yamaha can’t fix this after 2 months? I’m glad I didn’t waste money on a Montage, MODX or CP. I can save my Reface settings using my camera, but this app is garbage. Thankfully it’s free except the time spent trying to login.

Memory for CS

thomasbhacker

You couldn’t be bothered to include memory for saving patch data on the actual instruments, so we’re stuck using your web site and iOS application. Now it appears that I can’t download patches that I made and saved in my account to my mobile device with the iOS application itself. Yes, I’m logged into my account. Why aren’t the site and application linked together????

Great Help

NorthernPlastics

I regularly use this app with my Reface DX and it greatly helps with storing my patches. The set list function is a big plus because I can quickly switch patches from one song to the next.

Terrible App

Jalech01

After reading online it seems people haven’t been able to login to this app for a long time. “Failed to sign-in” over and over even if password is reset and app redownloaded. Nothing will fix. Bought the cables to connect to my phone and your app doesn’t work. Thanks YAMAHA
