Synth for Negative User Reviews

No recording features?....Love the app and its simplicity but come on, no basic recording features? This app is basically meant to play around in......Version: 2.22

Not badA fun toy, nice delay effects. However, if it had some basic things like filter cutoff, resonance and maybe an envelope control, or an lfo rate, that would have put it over the top!.Version: 2.22

Not much for the base priceSolid enough app but many other synths with better sounds - I'd spend a little more money elsewhere.Version: 2.2

Insulting.If this app were made by a one-man dev shop, the shocking lack of features would be understandable, but ultimately still inexcusable. The fact that this app comes to us from Retronyms (makers of the fine audio app AudioCopy!!) is just plain insulting. Unless (and until) Retronyms put out a huge update, file this app in the 'former debutante's' section of the 'abandonware' junk yard..Version: 2.22

No record - no copy!This would be worth having if there was record facility with copy & paste ... But until then a waste of good potential and probably won't use it much at all.. Nice for 5 mins and then.... Not much you can do with it.. Please guys put record & copy into it!?.Version: 2.21

Sequencer SupportIt has great sounds, but no stand alone sequencer. it probably would've been better throwing this synth in tabletop as a better keyboard over the rs3 because of it's sampling capability. I hoping the MPC 2000 app for tabletop doesn't lack all these capabilities.Version: 2.21

Audio copy / Paste?Please..Version: 2.2

Doesn't link to anythingAs a standalone synth it's OK but I bought it because it's included in the Tabletop Synth bundle. Turns out it's NOT compatible wit Tabletop even though it's the same company. Does this even have MIDI? Not sure what use this is as a standalone, really..Version: 2.22

Bluetooth audio out please!I like this app, only I wish it had the option to choose what type of audio out I like to use. It won't play through a Bluetooth speaker setup..Version: 2.21

What is this ment to be?It is a cheap cheesy synth. The mod wheel works backwards. You cannot truncate samples after recording. The meager sounds that are supplied free are awful to say the least. Give this one a miss there are a lot better free synths to spend time on than this pile. It does not deserve to spend time on my iPad. BEGONE! Junk junk junk..Version: 2.22

Seems OKNot my favorite iOS synth, but it's capable and usable. Another of Retronyms' apps – Tabletop – is a MUST have. I will update my review of Synth after I've had more experience with it, but since it nagged me to write a review I can't give it as many stars as I otherwise would..Version: 2.21

No ADSR with the samplerIt's 2013 and this app still doesn't have ADSR when your playing in Sampler mode... if this was added i could actually use this synth. Below is my previous review, and as you can see things haven't changed. I've had this app for a while now, and only purchased it for the sampler section. I contacted the developer about adding an ADSR section to the sampler, but all they seem to care about is adding more in app purchases, one of which I bought, "the patch editor", but still........ No simple ADSR...... Something every other synth, or sampler would have......... Save your money and buy something else..Version: 2.22

A con!The screen shots are NOT from this version but another version which costs 10x more. False advertising is illegal!.Version: 2.1

PcFor that price I gave it a shot, worked for an hour or two then....no sounds, blew my investment I think..Version: 2.2

This is app is crap!No MIDI support and it doesn’t work with their Tabletop app..Version: 2.23

No midiThis app sounds good and works well so far but cannot get midi keyboard to work with it. Other apps I have no problem with. It doesn't seem to be implemented with this one. Will there be a patch to allow this?.Version: 2.2

Don't get this app if you're looking for a simple keyboardWhat I said in the title....Version: 2.22

I paid £2.49 for this......so you don't have to..Version: 2.22

No updates for 3 years!!!Really just a toy nowadays - surprised they would charge for this. No midi support, no IAA/Audiobus. It's stuck in the past of an iOS world that has moved way past what this app can do in music..Version: 2.22

Not compatible with own appsNot compatible with mpc.Version: 2.23

NO RECORD!!!!!!If this had a record feature it would be 5* no doubt. All you can do on this is make amazing tunes, then watch them fade away as you can't record them. This has to be the best music app ever made however i will never be satisfied until it has a record feature. Shame really..Version: 0

Room for growthEntertaining, not groundbreaking. not pleased that it would seem that i have to buy the in-app update for both ipads on the same library and that it doesn't seem that one purchase would do for both..Version: 2.21

Ummm Not wonderful . . .No ADSR with sampling, No Audiobus, I think I just got screwed by the IAP's which essentially are a complete disappointment .... I hope the developer improves this app & that I and likely many others don't feel burnt ... Has "potential" but that's about it .... Fix it up and I'll up my rating.Version: 2.22

Virtual SK1, with the same limitationThis app does what it claims and does a lot of what the SK1 did. Unfortunately my major gripe with the SK1 years ago was that you couldn't save the samples, and this app does the same thing, so anything useful you come up with can never be replicated. It is ok for a virtual synth, but as there are no record/export functions, it isn't something I will use much..Version: 0

Audio copy paste pleaseIt's okay. I expected it to have audio copy so I can paste into other apps, as Doppler ad has this as well as their other apps. Don't really wanna upgrade without this..Version: 2.2

NiceNeeds better sounds and the interface is a little laggy.Version: 0

Very mehI got this for free and I don't feel like it's worth anything more. There's no synthesis control at all. There are a few interesting sounds, but nothing unique. The best part is the Tron themed skin. It's actually a really cool skin. Otherwise there's not much going on here..Version: 2.21

Cheesy soundsI got it thinking I'd play with the sampler part of it. The novelty wears off very quickly. The sampler also records for a fixed limit of time-- just a couple of seconds-- so if you're thinking of maybe leaving a friend a joke voicemail message in "chipmunk" voice, you can't. On top off it there are no built in effects and sounds are very poor sounding-- like an old CZ-101 but worse. The CZ actually can make some good sounds. This is toylike. Save your buck..Version: 0

IPad UserThought I was getting what it showed me in the pictures. I didn't..Version: 2.21

Good, but ..... needs recording, soundcloud, and audiocopy support. (Even if minimal.) With these things: definitely worth five stars..Version: 2.22

Not tabletop compatibleIf this could be used in tabletop it might be halfway useful but since it can't it's about as useful as a Casio from the 80s without the charm. Wtf were Retronyms thinking?.Version: 2.22

Needs Audiobus support!!!Great little keyboard app, would be one of my favourites if only it supported Audiobus! Otherwise it's only useful as a practice keyboard only!.Version: 2.22

DONT DOWNLOADI'm sorry to tell you all this but all these great views are fake. This is not true. Apparently a group bought this app to record an album do NOT buy. You can not record without making a rubbish sizzling sound and repeat it. Instead you need to upgrade to pro. I can't believe this..Version: 2.22

Pretty coolThis is a quite useful synth app without too many buzzers and whizzers. The rotary knob format would probably work better with sliders. Despite the intuitive design, I find building an iPad synth to operate as if it were manual a little odd. It's quant but in this case, why not reinvent the wheel. Otherwise as I stated very useful with some cool sounds..Version: 2.22

ConThought I was getting the product in the pictures,turns out it was the 59p version I got and not 5.99 version that they tell you to upgrade too after you brought it.shame.Version: 2.1
