Quanta Granular Synth for Negative User Reviews

✓ Excellent Granular Engine, Needs Better UsabilityThe audio engine itself is fantastic, an excellent granular synthesizer with lots of controls to dial in a sound. I feel it’s lacking some usability for iOS. Currently to use any of the samples in the factory presets in a custom preset, you need to find a preset with a sample you’d like to use, modify it, and save as a new preset. There’s no way I’ve found to use any of the factory samples in a preset made from scratch, nor can any of the factory presets have their sample swapped for that of another factory preset. It’d be very nice to have the factory samples available in a sample loading menu with a separate option to load from the iOS Files dialog, or have Quanta present its own location in Files and download the factory samples there. Secondly, it would be very nice to be able to scroll through the presets list without touching to scroll on a preset instantly loading that preset. Technically you can do this via the scrollbar on the right side, however it’s quite thin and easy to miss, and on a touch interface, scrolling by sliding over the list of presets feels much more natural. Overall it’s a good port of a really great desktop application without acknowledging the little details that would make it FEEL excellent on a touchscreen device. I do have a two feature requests. A glissando option for the keyboard (rather than pitchbend only) would be choice. Also it would be incredible if Quanta could receive and process other audio. While AUv3 imposes limitations on recording input audio, being able to use it as a granular effect on a rolling buffer of input audio would be sooooo good..BitBangrVersion: 1.1

✓ Ummm... no presets/samples are includedWhen I saw this reviewed on the sound test room, there were a bunch of presents from well-known sounds owners as well as categories. When I download it there are none... zilch... nada and I even double checked that I was in the factory, not the user presets.TfokerVersion: 1.0.11

✓ No midi supportI like the app but the fact that it’s impossible to sync at least the speed or the length of grains to any incoming midi clock is surprising and kind of a deal breaker :/.AnthoreviewVersion: 1.1.10

✓ No way to save my patch?Really fun but always crashes and I lose my complex patch..Ob3sVersion: 1.1.10

✓ Please fix sample tuning!If you use your own samples this is a pain to work with. Sample tuning has two controls. Main tuning and fine tuning and they both tune to cents! That makes absolutely no sense!.Khanrad3Version: 1.1.10

✓ Fantastic granular synth but loading samples is borkedAs in the title. bringing up import sample menu stops entire app..LazyLesterVersion: 1.2.2

✓ Potentially great, but still crashingI’d use this app a lot more if it didn’t keep crashing on me (standalone), particularly annoying when trying to save a preset I’ve spent time creating. Also when modifying a bundled preset, it won’t allow me to save it to the user folder. Lots of potential here, but the crashing is really off-putting..FamilychoiceVersion: 1.2.5

✓ Crashes with ble midiGreat app but it crashes every once in a while on my iPad Pro 2018 with my BLE MIDI connected, and lose all the work! Please fix this..HirbodxVersion: 1.0.19

✓ Amazing before it explodesI’m not one typically to write reviews about an app, but I’m hoping someone will read this and it will save them from experiencing the same headache I’ve had with this app. I want to preface this by saying this synth is an AWESOME granular synth, it has great modulation built in and the sound quality is comparable to some of the $300+ plug ins they make for desktop computers. That’s not the issue with the program. The problem is stability. I’ve been using it as auv3 in BeatMaker and have experienced it crashing EVERY time I have it in a project I’m working on. To make matters worse, it doesn’t just crash BeatMaker - it corrupts whatever project I loaded it in to, leaving the project destroyed. I’ve lost weeks of work from this app, which is heartbreaking because I’ve really enjoyed it when it’s working. I really hope this is addressed in future updates because the app is unusable for me in this state, but I’m still giving it 3 stars for the things it does do..Metik2009Version: 1.1.10

✓ Can’t turn off MIDI inputsI’m really enjoying this app so far. Really unique and fun to play. However, I've run into a little issue... I often run multiple iOS music apps simultaneously — some of which send MIDI to my computer over a network connection. In these situations, Quanta is automatically picking up the MIDI notes being transmitted on that network connection (which I don't want). In Quanta, I went into Settings > I/O Settings, and attempted to turn off all "active MIDI inputs." However, it will not allow me to uncheck any of the boxes to disable them. They just immediately re-check themsleves. Any idea why this might be happening? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!.Motor DVersion: 1.0.19

✓ Great if it workedI’m having the same issue as others. Trying to load a sample freezes the app..CharlesivesVersion: 1.2.2

✓ The piano keys covering control knobsOn iPad Pro 11. The on screen keyboard covers up some of the controls to where you can’t see what all is down there (grain controls). It’s driving me bonkers. Other than that, seems like a great app and good sound. Just driving me nuts not to know what else there is to adjust. I can’t stop messing with it. Edit - I’m also getting lots of crashes where the app just shuts down when trying to import samples. No audio share? Cmon guys!.Codowlsky PolopumusVersion: 1.1.2

✓ Poor synthThe synth is not that good. Really disappointed from this purchase. I bought SynthScaper LE and there is not comparison in quality and controls. I do not recommend this synth. SynthScaper is projected 10 light years in the future when compared to this one..Nick45689143Version: 1.0.19

✓ Sample import brokenSample import appears to be completely broken, which for a plug-in that relies mostly on samples, is a big deal. I’ve tested the standalone version, as well as the AUv3 version in GarageBand and Cubasis 3. In each, tapping the file import icon will cause Quanta to immediately become unresponsive. I contacted Audio Damage customer support, but never received a response. It’s a shame, because I generally like Audio Damage products. I own the VST version of Quanta and was excited to see it available for my newly purchased iPad. Hopefully this will eventually be fixed. For now, at least I can import presets that I’ve made with my VST version. Update: Sample loading is still broken on iPad OS 15.7 even after the 1.2.2 update..StenaulisVersion: 1.2.2

✓ IncomprehensibleI have a few granular synths, and this is the only one I regret buying. No help function, and the few YT demos out there are of an early version which has a different interface. Any attempt to import a file results in the app crashing. The App Store blurb invites one to “Visit audio damage.com for a PDF manual, audio samples and video demonstrations”- no, no, and no. Deeply frustrating and to all intents and purposes useless..Rory the BorderVersion: 1.1.10

✓ Freezes when I try to load a sound from filesPlease fix this.UooouooouVersion: 1.1.10

✓ Regular crashesI’ve tried reinstalls, etc but Quanta crashes every time I try to import my own audio file. And seems to also crash when I press the grain direction button..KearleyMusicVersion: 1.1.10

✓ Developer support non-existentSome of the factory presets distort. No response from developer as to how to correct this distortion. There’s no indication that the app will take 3.7GB when fully installed with the developer files. Most of the factory presets sound like insects..ClavmeisterVersion: 1.1.2
