Reason Compact - Make Music 4+

GREAT synth.. now w/ MIDI input :)

Update:
This INCREDIBLE synth has been updated to support MIDI input 😎👍 That’s the power-up it needed to transform it into a most useful mobile music production tool. Time to dive in and explore the sonic landscape 😃📱🎹🎶

Original Review:
The Europa synth sounds fantastic on my iPhone!! It’s great that I can use it in AudioBus and that it supports Ableton Link. I also appreciate the ability to demo the advanced synth controls and settings, which work great and give a lot of tonal flexibility when it comes to sound design. However, I cannot bring myself to spend $9.99 on this fabulous synth’s advanced features because it does not support MIDI input. That is a must-have feature for me... and probably a lot of other iOS musicians, as well. Adding support for wired, network, and bluetooth MIDI input would be ideal for handling different live and recording workflows in iOS. Also being able to save user-created presets within the Sound Packs -> Select Sound part of the app would be very useful. Lastly, adding AUV3 support would allow iOS musicians to run multiple instance of the synth in a given workflow, making the synth a much more versatile tool for mobile music development. Please consider making these updates to turn this great synth into a powerhouse. IMHO, adding these features would elevate this synth to a 5 Star app.

Love it, live it, make it..

Thank you propellerhead, have been a fan since my 1 mac powerbook..,lol
Seriously have found tons of awesome innovative ideas thanks to the great work you guys do.. the updates on here look and sound amazing.. plus the new edition for computers also is just insane.. really stoked..

Saving your music has always been possible.. for use your head.. a lil in out split aux but that not even needed these days just run it as a vst and I have been able to record melodies and more from my phone to my Pc running LIve AB , it also records right into GB.. and you can save the loop from there.. but I recommend beefing up that sound on GB you they have great mastering apps.. ppl don’t even believe that it was made on a phone.. I love to use everything real,analog,digital , and bring the best out of all of it.. love music!! No lame coach breathing dwn your neck.. music is a door you have to chose to open.. no one is going to make you.. keep it pure and have fun.. bless u all

Nailed It Creatively, Few Technical details need ironing.

Reason, from the first time I used it infused my ideas with a creative energy I could not get from other DAWs. This though is soo game changing and on another level. I like my tools to not dictate my creativity but rather to inspire it and propel it forward without getting bogged in technical details. This app smashes through that goal as I can go from hearing a melody in my head and having a very good sounding sample all from the palm of my hand, now that’s how you make technology get out of the way of creativity.

One caveat, I find the app a lil bit finicky with my phone OS. It crashes a lot, especially when I try to export projects, I’m hoping this can be fixed.

Also, if you log out after signing up YOU LOSE ALL YOUR PROJECTS! Which defeats the entirety of the accessibility this app is trying to reach for. Please let me keep my projects, the ideas I lost were really cool. There’s absolutely no way I could figure out how to restore my projects so that really makes me unsettled. What if I want to pull up something I’m working on, on the go and I find out somehow I got logged out and I have to start all over again. Reason you’re onto something here, but please fix that.

Ответ разработчика ,

Hi,

Your feedback makes us very happy. Your projects should not be deleted if you don't delete the app and reinstall it. If you experience crashes please report it on our support forum and include steps to reproduce so we can see what cause the crashes. We have fixed a couple of crash bugs that will come in 2.1 but that was when connecting a midi keyboard and used a low octave for the drums or when you browsed your own sound pack and only had one sound.

Kind regards, Hanna
