It’s ok...

Bought it thinking it was midi compatible, obviously not. Bit gutted,not quite what I thought... future development,it needs to work with Midi...

No updates

Why has this app not been updated since the iPhone 6S???
It keeps crashing on my iPad Pro. It’s about time Virsyn updated their old apps. I can’t trust a developer that doesn’t keep their apps with the times. I would like a refund for this app. Waste of money.

Lies with the family share.

It says that you could share with the family. I bought the app then a member of my family was asked the price again. So disappointing.

Needs a sync option

This needs new sync options now that Korg have nuked WIST

Has potential but problematic

There really is a lot of potential with this interesting app but for me it has been rendered pretty useless by some problem which I have not been able to get to the bottom of.

When I first downloaded it I was able to record new custom voxels which is what a lot of people will use this app for. Some weeks later I came back to it and this same task became impossible, all I got was interference. I communicated this issue to the developers in detail including a video of the issue trying to step through all the things it could be, whether software or hardware. As well meaning as they were with their responses, to be honest I got nowhere at all as I only really got answers to questions I hadn't actually asked.

So potential yes but no substitute for actual usability, it is not a cheap application and it doesn't actually work for me the way I need it to work and it looks more like a software issue than a hardware one.

A team to avoid..

When a developer can't be bothered:

It Becomes very apparent...

1: Very rare/infrequent app updates
2: Updates bringing only one minor improvement
3: No apps updated with AUv3 support
4: Fewer and fewer new music apps.
5: Inability to release bug-fix updates.

I therefore learn Virsyn is a developer to avoid.

Great!!!

First off I'd like to say this app is great and the best vocoder app for iPad/iPhone/iPod I know it's not cheap but I'd recommend it to anyone who wants a configurable pro quality vocoder app that also let's you use it in real time with a mic as well as add other filters to it and record etc look at the info to see all features and I can not wait for updates hopefully they will add more filters/features keep up the great work and to anyone reading this buy it now you won't be disappointed!

Update iOS 8.0 even after the compatibility fix its still unusable half of the stuff on the right side didn't load/show, its just black, I hope this app gets fixed soon as. It's a great app.

Superb

I can't believe the vocoder (iVoxel) on my iPad 2 is better than any of the plugins currently running on my DAW on my studio computer!

Being honest, until buying this, and Addictive Synth also made by VirSyn, I always felt they were an "almost there" company - not quite up to par against companies like Gforce (Imposcar, Oddity) or Arturia (MinimoogV). They seem to have found their feet on this platform and both their products really shine and have something to offer to musicians who use only IOS devices or a combination of IOS and Studio based applications.

The sound quality is staggering - even using the internal mic you can get some extremely useable, and musical results. I can't find anything to fault and the price point is exactly right.

Top App

This is a very clever app. As the important note mentions above...it needs a headset with built-in microphone to work. The levels on my iPod were fine, though i did use various settings to optimise them. The sound of the human voice through the vocoder is very clearly defined / nice. The ability of this imstrument to sing is pretty cool also. The library of words to use is very comprehensive, and the inclusion of vowel sounds is also useful- for monophonic choir like impressions. Entering words from the library and hearing iVoxel sing them is Great fun! At the moment I am still discovering what this instrument can do. Five Stars!

comprehensive and powerful app

Having great fun getting some cool sounds and sequences out of the app so far. I particularly find the 'Edit Voxel' page helpful, where you can change the point at which the voxel is held during key press. Ideally, I'd like to see a preview button on this page, so I can instantly test out the effect of the placing of the hold point without the need to go back to the keyboard view...a preview play option might be nice on the voxel listing menu as well. Apart from those very minor would-likes, it's excellent and well worth the cash.
