Appassin Greed ,

Very Nice!

I really like this synth. It sounds great and the UI is superb. Everything is laid out really intuitively and clearly, and everything is virtually on one screen (many iOS synth developers could learn a lot from the design of this one). It might lack the analog character of synths like Moog’s new Model D app, but this sounds great and doesn’t require the power of the Moog. If you’re looking for a solid workhorse synth, Volt has got to be a strong contender.

Great synth but issues with iPad OS 13.

Running two iPads Air 2 & 3...Volt crashes with beta OS 13 firmware. Seems like the main problem occurs when choosing iCloud Drive for patch storage. Tried deleting & re-installing several times - with no joy. Hope this bug is fixed soon. Cheers!

No presets? FIXED

When I use iCloud as storage there are no presets and when I use local storage, the presets are in the list but nothing changes when they’re selected ! I have to redownload the app each time...

MPE is working with my roli lightpad block m, but I can’t edit midi mapping, pressing the buttons doesn’t do anything

I will update my review once these issues are fixed

UPDATE: My most pressing concern (presets not working) was fixed within a few hours of posting my review! This thing is INSANE
