Ratings and Reviews

Thanks for creating this app I think it’s super dope 👍🏼👍🏼 Feature Request: 1. Can you make it remember piano key size 2. Make the pitch slider slightly wider it’s too thin 3. Arpeggiator would be nice 4: I also wish we had the option to hide the keyboard when using it as an audio unit

Noted. Thanks for the feedback!
Great
Really good synth! Hey there is a problem with the touches getting delayed at the very bottom of the screen on iPhone, probably iPad too.
Developer Response ,
Thanks for your feedback! iOS reserves a small strip of the space on the bottom of the screen for opening its control centre. That said, we do have ways to fine tune this behaviour and we will have it addressed in the next update.
Very Interesting!!!
Review revised 5/10/2021: Important! You need to know there is a menu under “SHAPER” in the upper left corner, which contains SAVE PATCH, LOAD PATCH,NEW PATCH, and link to the online manual. I hope this saves somebody from losing some work like I did...
Other than this, Shaper is pretty much a basic analog synth, but with some really interesting possibilities with LFO modulation. AND it looks like every parameter can be MIDI controlled within AUM... NICE!
One important missing function: Shaper needs to be able to lock its metronome to the host app (AUM, etc.); so far I have found no way to do this; I have to manually set Shaper’s BPM to match AUM. This should be addressed.
I have done a lot of interesting experimenting with this one.
Sound quality, filter, FX, all sound very good. I think this will be a fun addition.

Hi GtrGeorgeDC, thanks for the kind words, and glad you enjoy the app!
Yes, you can access the menu by clicking on the Shaper logo. There you can save / load patches, and also access the PDF manual.
