Ratings and Reviews
Another winner from BLEASS
First the negative…I’m not really a fan of the presets.
The positive: everything else. It’s easy to make your own patches that sound great thanks to the typically awesome BLEASS UI . Everything they’ve made before and after Alpha has held true to that. Everything is simple to use, but the level of depth is amazing.
You need this synth….
Basic sounds…
They are decent noises, and tons of them, but most are rather uninspiring. There are a few gems that have space in my faves so definitely keeping the fully loaded app in the mix.
Speaking of mix, while most of the sounds by themselves are perhaps a bit lackluster, they leave a lot of room in the audio spectrum for other tracks, and sometimes this app offers just the perfect patch that fits nicely in the mix.
Excellent for sound design
Every aspect of this powerful synth can be modulated externally and internally.
What does that mean? You can do a lot of cool and weird stuff with it you’ve never heard before and make a variety of nice synth sounds.
Works pretty well on all iPads as well, iPad Pro is not necessary, all of Bleass apps have very efficient programming and are friendly on your CPU usage.
