Heavy Brass Reviews

Pretty good

LaLomation on

United States

I love it! Congratulations on making a great app One pointer, the keyboard is very small and makes it VERY HARD to attempt to play the right notes

Needs another update ASAP

United States

Using iPad Pro 14.6 and sounds grt! Had to repost review. I thought software was glitchy, found out it was my 3.5 aux cord going bad. Brass instruments are just what I needed in my Arsenal. Already produced a song in first hour. Nice job guys. 5 star. 👍

Really amazing sounds

Easily 5 stars

Keyboard needs to be bigger

SandSBonz on

I love the sounds on this app. Absolutely fantastic. Nut I like to record using the iPad and the keyboard on the app is just too small to use fingers to form chords. Love to see a keyboard mode that you could use after choosing the sounds you want to work with Thanks for listening

Fix trombone

pianista 12345678 on

friends, greetings, congratulations on the application, heavy brass is excellent, it just seems to me that they should correct something and the trombone does not sound clearly, it lacks presence, it is the only negative thing, please take my opinion into account, thank you

Wish it would work with the iPhone 7s plus

See titles… Overall I am very pleased with the different effects

Works on Linnstrument!!!

Timesrunninout on

This app works very well with the Linnstrument controller. The app is stable most of the time, but I have experienced some crashing. I really am impressed with the sounds. I would like the developer to expand the sound set even more. Admittedly, this is one of the first set of this type that I own. The user interface seems intuitive at first glance, but sometimes it’s hard to know which sounds you’ve selected due to the multiple layers selected. In other words, sometimes I just want to pick a single sound and find instead multiple layers playing. The reverbs and the echoes effects are a nice touch. These effects are simple, intuitive and very useful, although basic. Please fix the “pitch bend range” toggle to be less tedious! If more sounds were added and issues fixed I would give 5 stars. Overall, this is a nice addition and worth the money.

Realistic horns

Best on iOS. Very high quality and great variety and articulations.

Very realistic yet feasible to them without knowledge

Sounds are terrific

This is as good as iSymphony Orchestra for way less money. I hope it works in MainStage, that would be ideal. Long ago in Florida I spent an evening listening to a guy playing a hard ware synth that had a great trombone section effect, and since getting my iPad Pro I have been trying synths to get that. With iSymph and Heavy Brass, I’m there at last. Yay!
