Ratings and Reviews
MIDI function not so good.
It's a nice app and easy to play, but unless you're using Animoog, midi is a waste of time. I've tried it with a few synths and it doesn't work with anything except Animoog. Don't buy this if you are looking for a general purpose midi controller as you will be disappointed.
Unique and intuitive instrument
This is a very well designed instrument. The standard layouts are brilliant for quickly learning the relationship/intervals between notes and the method of playing, which is so surprisingly easy. The tutorial videos on the developer websites are very helpful and quick. With the editor you can create your own layouts... I reckon with this instrument as a MIDI controller, Audiobus as the interface, my fave soft synth (currently Animoog) and a DAW, I could recreate the sound of most plucked or percussive instruments. I am going to try creating a hang pan with a Dorian scale :) this is much easier and cheaper than buying or commissioning the real thing.
Unique New Instrument
A unique and truly expressive instrument. If I had just one musical app on my iPad this would be it. The online layout sharing system is a joy, as Pavement once said 'the tones are grouped in clusters' and here one can instantly access dozens of wonderful clusters made by talented and inspired Orphion players the world over. Works fantastically as a MIDI controller too. For the price this is amazing value. Now, back to playing it :)
