Before you buy this an try launching it as a stand alone, it isn't a stand alone, you'll just see the manual. You'll need to use it with an app that supports Audi Units, like Cubasis, AUM or Auria Pro, etc. as for the synth itself, it's a great synth, but I suggest get the developers other apps to add fx, which is very reasonable imo. I won't go into detail about features since you can read them in the app description, but it does have a lot of great things to offer. The only thing I wish it had was polyphony, which would really make this a must have. I like what's going with this company and iOS music apps, audio unit support is the new frontier and developers need to start implementing it in their iOS music apps.Edit: ok, I’m removing a star because when I’m using it in Beatmaker 3 or GarageBand I can’t access the presets. Sometimes I don’t want to start from scratch to get a sound, I want to save my presets and access them from any DAW that host audio units, not just some.

I owned 2 model D Mini's back in the day, and recorded and gigged with them extensively all through the 70's and 80's. Though never having owned the Voyager, I have used them studio side. This apps UI reminds me nothing of a Voyager. Sonically its not bad, but running it as an AU plugin in Garage Band, Auria, and Cubasis, I cannot for the life of me find a preset option ANYWHERE. In this day and age of me too soft synths you gotta not only sound good, but also be user friendly. If the developer makes accessing presets a reality in the 3 major IOS Daws I'll upgrade my rating. Other wise its collecting virtual dust.Updated:Ok I found the presets in Garage Band, but in cubasis and Auria, two of the most widely used IOS DAWs, and both of who support AU, you still cant access presets. This is a shame as Viking Synth actually sounds pretty good. If the developer fixes the app so it will work in these popular DAWs I'll upgrade my rating again.

Using this in GarageBand version 2.3.15 on my iPad Pro iOS 17.1.2This app is frustrating because it sounds awesome and the presets are amazing, but for some reason the presets only show up maybe 10% of the time I start a new track. The other 90% of the time it just says “default” or “preset” but when I click on it there’s just an empty window where the preset library should be. Sometimes the presets will work on a track but when I click back in to choose a new one they mysteriously disappear. It’s too bad because I really want to use this app but the inconsistency of the preset library is making it untenable for use. Devs do you have any advice? I’ve deleted and reinstalled, powered on and off: still having the same issue.

It's nice to be able to add this synth to your AU host apps (e.g. GarageBand, AUM, Cubasis). You can save presets in GarageBand and AUM.If you open the app from the home screen, you get a manual. When you launch the app from within an AU host app you get the synth itself. In AUM there are a multitude of settings for Viking Synth that you can control via MIDI which comes in handy for automation sequencing.Unfortunately Apple needs to have a standardized way of saving your custom presets in all AU apps and AU hosts so we're not recreating presets every time we use a different AU host app. Clearly it's the responsibility of Apple to take care of the AU preset problem for the iOS AU standard they created.

First off, the two idiots below need to read the app description before buying/complaining. YOU NEED A DAW THAT SUPPORTS AU PLUGIN HOSTING! This is not a standalone app and presets do work if you have one of the more competent iOS DAWs/AU hosts. I use Viking synth on my iPhone 6 hosted in AUM and midi sequenced with SunVox and it's an incredible synth! It really does have that nice warm analog sound and I've made so many amazing presets from scratch to use in my industrial techno productions. You can achieve a ridiculous range of sound using this lil plugin and using the XY filter in a live jam setting is an absolute blast. 10/10 would buy again 😬

I fell in love with this little synth app on day one of it’s release! Did anyone else notice how it’s a Moog Voyager in disguise? The frequency split does some really cool stereo-affecty-deeliohoo that trips with my mind. Of course, I paid for it! Now that it unbelievably FREE you’re insane if you have yet to add it to your arsenal of sound making kit. It works flawlessly, has a small footprint, and when using multiple instances in Cubasis, GarageBand, Logic Pro, LoopyPro, etc. you can produce a fully polished composition from kick to sizzle, it’s brilliant. Now GO MAKE SOME NOISE! :-)
