Ratings and Reviews
Lovely ambient machine
I’ve only had this app for 5 minutes and already in love with it. Fun and useful for well seasoned musicians AND for people who aren’t. I love the design and playfulness of it. 10 out of 10 I highly recommend!
Developer Response ,
Thanks for the awesome review! I'm really glad you're enjoying Gradient Synth. Your support means a lot.
Not as expected
App doesn’t turn off in the background going on 15hrs now . Tone modulation doesn’t work. Gradients are purely visual. No sequencer. Honestly, drop the price until you get a handle on this. For some reason I can’t request a refund, prob not the devs fault. I don’t want to report it but I feel ripped off. Sorry if that’s harsh dude, I know it was a lot of work.
The gradients should indicate tone or octave. Fx control should be on screen with the gradient and lockable. I started with 3 stars and just had to settle on 1. If you plan on selling it, fix it first, if it was free or 0.99 until 2.0 that may be a good idea.
Developer Response ,
Thanks for the feedback and for giving Gradient Synth a try! I totally understand your concerns. There is an option to stop the app from running in the background if you check the settings. If you’re curious about how the colors interact with sound, it’s not just visual – feel free to explore more at manual.gradientsynth.com.
As an indie developer, I really appreciate your honesty. I’m always working on improvements, so if there's anything else I can help with or if you have specific ideas on how the gradients should indicate "tone or octave", please let me know!
Thanks again for your support and for trying it out!
Surprisingly Versatile
Upon first glance it has a fun interface with a fast learning curve. The more you use it, you’ll find all sorts of ways to dial in and modify your sound. Complements traditional synths and plug-ins pretty well.
