TAL-U-NO-LX 4+

What can be said about this app, well it’s the most interesting & simple application I have experienced.
I have played the real analogues years ago and this just cuts it. I own many other synth apps which are fantastic in their own right and I am not saying this is better or best, it’s what the creator can get out of it.
Well worth the purchase it will give you hours of pleasure and discovery.

But desktop type interface (obviously geared for mouse/keyboard, etc) lets it down a bit and it is tricky to navigate in general for a touchscreen.

For me that is mainly the preset selections and the on-screen keyboard bumping too close to the octave switch, the pitch bend will, transpose etc., in my opinion a desktop port should take into consideration the touch user interface better.

(Older ios synths like sunrizer, nlog, nanostudio, magelan, etc, really have this down so its not impossible)

And half the screen is empty. (This is now fixed but the sliders, etc., are still a little bit sketchy)

Also finding this app could be easier, the only accepted search term is "tal-u-no", having to put those dashes in the right places otherwise no results, (no results with term "synth", say) I have not previously heard of tal software GmbH..

Still, a juno synth! I wouldn't be able to afford a real one right now..

(Had to redo deleted review after update, i wish apple would sort this out, is it fair to delete reviews after an update, or updating your stars? This takes time!! 😡😡😡)

Love what this does, but in the short time ive had it ive had it freeze up no me a few times.
This doesnt make it viable to use live IMO, which is a huge shame.
Also the GUI is still not great. Mostly the round knobs at the bottom for the FX’s are distorted when you hide the keyboard. Although everything gets distorted when you do this, the round knobs are the most problematic as its harder to rotate them using the screen.

Still fantastic value for money though.
