This is my favorite synth I have used on ipad platforms. The UI is so easy to navigate and just great for understanding synthesis. The sound is amazing, really full and tons of different textures you can get from simple tweaking. The developer is very responsive and is constantly working on and updating the synth. Great product and experience!

Thank you very much for the feedback!
My new favorite synth
Obis11
I have been enjoying this synthesizer so much. I love the fact that it has so many LFO’s and I can assign them to basically anything. It’s working great in AUM and pretty much every other app that I’ve been testing it on. The app has a great look and is genuinely fun to interact with.

Hi Obis11! I appreciate your feedback! Please contact support@tatreal.pro or oktobugs@tatreal.pro - the pop-up screen shows this email right on the first start of the app. These issues you've pointed out will be fixed in 1.0.1, which is already under review by the Apple team. Hope it'll be approved soon, as it takes up to 5 days to get approval. AUv3 will be supplied within the next update. Thank you for your purchase!!! Can you please contact us and tell within email what type of MIDI controller you use? You may need to activate MIDI in the iOS settings menu for wired MIDI: Settings->Privacy & Security->Security->Wired Accessories->Always AllowIf this has been done and the app still can't receive any MIDI, then please share your MIDI controller make/model/version in an email - this is very important information for us to get fixed the issue right away
Very cool!

Fun! Sounds great! Cool! Lots of oscillators!
Developer Response
Thank you so much! LOTS. Have you already tried to set 8 unison ramps/saws on OSC1 and OSC2, and then do max detune for both and turn fine-tune for each in the opposite direction to spread them more? It sounds so aggressive, OMG! Don't try it on all 8 OSCs, I warned you ;)
Truncated screens portrait & landscape

Particle Chimes is another music instrument. You added note hold, kind of. You need to be able to toggle on/off individual held notes, not all held notes by turning the feature off.The settings screen the bottom cho settings are cut off in portrait and margins on n landscape.There’s too many things wrong to list.Again, there’s a lot of ‘stuff’ but there is no actual personality in the instrument. There’s nothing exciting when you play it.(But thanks for your attempt to add note hold though.)
Developer Response
Your excitement is only limited to your synthesis knowledge. This instrument made for professionals. Sorry you're not a sigma.
+ Image-to-audio - convert image to full spectrum or snap to specific chromatic keys
+ Bug fix for PW crossing 50% with a click in samples due to incorrect flag use
+ Held keys with Hold mode are seen if triggered with MIDI
+ Bug fix for spectrometer that slipped to bottom buttons
