Sounds amazing.. but..

Looped Boy on

The sound is amazing, great price! .. but can’t extract songs from GarageBand files because it doesn’t load properly. I can still go in and listen to my song in GarageBand if I reload the sound bank.

AUv3 Crashes

AJarva on

The Audio Unit crashes constantly in Cubasis as well as Garage Band. Great App and we’ll made presets, however it’ll be hard to get lost in all of its lovely features until these bugs are fixed.

Nice ROMpler, but frustrating in DAWs

LeRoi Fox on

Nice clean sounds and effects, nice user interface - all of that. But it’s frustrating trying to use it in a DAW; when relaunching a project that uses FM Player 2 as an Audio Unit, either the wrong preset gets loaded or the preset doesn’t load at all. If you’re lucky, you can manually load the correct preset, but that gets time consuming when you have more than one instance. Now I’m looking at FM Synth emulations as a work-around - it’s just a shame I have to spend more money because of this one not working properly. Such a shame - it’s a nice synth otherwise.

I LOVE YOUR SYNTHS

Basinclr on

I have been checking out all of your apps - you are creating amazing synths and the drum machine is great too. I have bought almost all for the apps you have made. I am building loops now and really enjoying the process. I am going to try building my own voice for the synth. Keep up the amazing work and keep me in the loop on your new stuff. Thanks for the musical inspiration!! Barry Sinclair

Enjoyable

Versatile and nice to play

One of the best vst ever

Phawk Yew on

Title says it all.

Doesn’t work

loneyOctober on

I have an iPad Mini 5 not sure if that’s he problem or not but every time I go to use this in garage band it will load up but after a few minutes of playing it will cut out stop everything and says it’s no longer installed in my “computer”. Makes it impossible to make music for me sounds nice on its own but I’m using garage band to mix my acoustic songs with the synth and yea it’s just not working paid for he app too and it’s jus disappointing.

Fantastic sounds

RobHellenius on

If it’s AudioKit it’s an immediate buy.

Looks like abandon ware

MJM in Canada on

There was high hopes for this app but it seems like the core program has been dumped. Considering the free synth one app gives you the ability to at least save anything you play to an MP3 file, I am left wondering why the developer hasn’t implemented this here?? This is nothing more than a novelty app that the has zero use for real artists, and likely all the quotes are made up, without any ability to save what you play what is the point.

Crashes

GalacticSunset on

It crashes all the time. Its unusable. It would be so sick if it worked but it crashes almost every time you start playing something for more than 30 seconds or so. WHYYYYYY!!!!
