AddStation

Jakob HAQ did such an amazing YouTube video on this synth 👌check it out !!!! 🤩

But please see if you can bring it up to compatibility with Apple Silicon Macs for Logic Pro and GarageBand. Thank you!

I think I mentioned a competitor’s name by mistake in the first review. The sentiment was correct, the name was wrong! Let me recap: This was the most recent purchase of this dev’s products. I have purchased newer apps of his, and this just goes to show that I’ve enjoyed them! I’ve watched the reviews over and over, judiciously choosing which ones to buy. NONE of them have ever disappointed me! Without rambling further, I’ll just say that IMO, they are ALL great stuff!

Charged full price for all 3 apps and it says 60% off - what’s up ?

This is a great synthesizer; it continues the really innovative approach to additive synthesis taken by Virsyn; there are some fascinating possibilities. The one irritating feature is the wave sequencing section; it’s a very cool design, but it’s really hard to find just the right spot to make changes to the regions. But I’m getting used to it, slowly... The sequencer could also use some additions; it currently goes forward only; it would be nice to have a back & forth option, and maybe a random option. Quite a learning curve with this one, but that’s part of the fun, for me anyway.

This app is so much fun to play with. Prepare to become addicted. I’d recommend browsing around the manual and maybe watching a YouTube vid - then just jump right in. First time I opened it, I was overwhelmed, I tried to just use the manual but that wasn’t any fun. Once you have the broad strokes, you’ll find yourself coming across happy accidents. Try everything! Well done to the dev, I tip my additive cap to a you good sir.

This synth is legendary! Wavetable synthesis-ish like behavior taken to the fullest extent I’ve ever seen on AUV3! My only wish as of right now (still gotta keep exploring the app) is that hopefully the tables will be “drawable” by multiple fingers in the future. An app that does something similar (or actually 2, by the same dev) are PixelWave and spectrum gen. Both of these allow us to do something really similar but using multiple fingers - this would be very welcome in Addstation as it makes it possible to essentially create very complex waves on the fly by using one hand to draw these (with 4-5 fingers) while playing the keyboard with the other hand (either software keys or hardware). VirSyn! Please do consider implementing this, it would make this little jewel even more brilliant!

I no longer miss my K5000 and its control over partials. This beats it for sound and ease of editing. Thanks! A couple of requests and a bug: Would be nice to have a way to mute parts and adjust their volumes in the Block Edit window. And maybe a sequencer for the blocks? And a way to use the Sequence page without obstructing the time bar with our fingers? And numbers on the Block and Part tabs to remind us which element we’re editing, as well as a way to advance to a different block/part without going back repeatedly to the main window? Lastly, a bug report: Piano scale picker is blank on iPhone 6 iOS 12.4.8. Thanks for this awesome sound creator and interface! Love your apps!

I’m going to start with a critical review because it needs it. As a plug in, Using drop down menu to select patches Is labourious!!! And long You need to add < > buttons so performers can instantly switch patches. This needs to happen NOW don’t make us wait. This is a complete kill joy being force to use a slow drop down menu system for every patch change.

No doubt one of the most original and exciting synths to come around in quite some time. It's deep. It's twisted. It's surprising. It's fun to use. What more could you want?
