Lacks multi-touch for knobs... – Model 15 Modular Synthesizer Review

As amazing as this app is, it falls short in a couple of ways. Firstly, there is no way to freaking turn two knobs at the same time. What the hell, man. The devs say they could not find a way to do this and support multitouch pan/zoom at the same time. How bout a toggle? Well guys, you have a panning area on the right-hand side of the screen already that can be used for panning, and you could easily add a zoom slider as well. I would MUCH rather have the ability to turn multiple knobs at the same time (like in most other synth apps) than have multitouch pan/zoom. You could at least give users the *option* between the two, perhaps with an on-screen “zoom/scroll lock” icon? Get creative! Second of all, there is a sound recorder, but sadly it has a set maximum length. What's up with that? The devs say, “Use IAA” but guys, IAA kinda blows. It makes it hard to exactly time start and stop between loops. It gets in the way of creativity. But OK, you get a pass on this one. There is no way to lock cables in place, so it's kinda easy to unplug them on accident. They say, “Just use undo,” but I already knew about undo. I like good UI, not UI that’s bad and causes you to make mistakes, then expects you to undo them... I dunno. It’s just really annoying on iPhone since the cables are really small and close together, not being able to lock cables in place is a big deal for the frustration level of the app. I mean in real life, XLR cables have a locking mechanism for a reason! There is no way to easily A/B between two patches. This is a concern during performances when you wanna quickly change sounds. Sadly there's no oscilloscope like Animoog. Over all it is very amazing though, and can produce sounds that I never thought I would hear coming out of an iPhone. It makes me wonder anymore why I should waste money on "real" analog synths... I do think Moog is the best company ever, hopefully they make changes and don’t just make excuses.
