Really enjoying

I was surprised how much I’ve been enjoying this synth. Yes, there are a few things I would like as extras such as different routes into the filters or delay of the LFOs, but I can work around these.

I have found a bug, but have reported that and it’s not a killer for the most part.

The pros definitely out way the cons and I’m enjoying the results a lot, although some string patches I’ve made can kill my Air2 at times, but that’s par for the course these days as apps get more resource hungry and iPads get better.

I would normally give this say 4 stars, as all apps can be improved, but I’m giving it 5 because in conjunction with your wonderful fx apps, the whole is just a fantastic resulting sound fest and your work deserves high praise.

Developer Response ,

Thank you very much for your good feedback!
Also thanks for getting back to us regarding the motion sequencer issue, which will be fixed in the next upcoming update!

Truly an Alpha Synth!

I never do this - especially on a release day - but today is different: Alpha synth by name alpha synth by design. Buy this NOW. ‘Nuff said.

Worked fine at first

Now I repeatedly get messages that it will not load in GarageBand. Frustrating because it was an awesome app when it worked but an expensive thing not to work!

Received a message from the developer saying that the app works fine and that I should delete and reinstall GarageBand which I did. Same problem persists. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. For the price paid, I would expect it to work reliably. I’d advise other customers to be wary.

PS: Deleting GB also deleted the data associated to it so I lost several files as a result. That was my error for not backing up first!
