## Orphion Reviews in United States

### **--- "crackles"
Crackles on iPad 9 with iPad OS 18. I see another user reports same on an M4 device, so it's not just the hardware. This was a fun and useful app, have used with all of my iPad going back to second generation. Hope output quality can be improved!

### **--- "Crackles on M4 OS 18"
I really love Orphion. It’s a wonderful touch instrument. However, I am experiencing crackling on my M4 iPad with iPadOS 18.
-- johnfromberkeley, 2024-10-11

### ***** "Beautiful instrument"
Expressive control and unique sound make an evocative instrument.
-- SonOfTheClouds, 2024-02-25

### **--- "Another broken app (yawn)"
Does not work in AUM. Virtual MIDI cannot find instruments when loaded as IAA. Workaround before I delete? Its not a good sign when the forum web page brings up an error.
-- Kurt52, 2022-09-19

### ***** "The iPad Classic"
I’ve used Orphion since the beginning on an original iPad. It’s still great!
-- Wrave, 2021-05-11

### ***** "Amazing piece of iPad gear . . ."
Bastus Trump built this years ago. As a musician Orphion is as valuable to me owning a set of redwood marimbas. It's an amazing piece of equipment in my arsenal. It helps me make meditational pieces. At this point the program is totally customizable. I love it. Spend some time with it -- you will love it too . . .
-- marchrain, 2020-09-13

### ****- "InvokeMusicINVK"
Love using this app. It brings a new and fresh idea to my tracks when producing. I wish more additional sounds would be added.
-- naturby, 2020-04-09

### ***-- "Sounds nice but"
I can’t use my power beats pro with this app for some reason I restarted it reinstalled it re paired my headphones and nothing as soon as I leave the app the headphones connects
-- Blshtyo, 2019-12-29

### ***** "Amazing, Great for Real Drum Sequencing"
Extremely expressive, responsive, and a great use of touch technology!

WISH LIST: 
More velocity increments
Set up export to Files, email, etc.
-- Gern Blasnton, 2019-05-13

### ***** "A true original musical instrument and experience!"
I have been a fan of Orphion since it’s arrival. A number of years ago, I was interested in running my iPad through the volume pedal and into an amplifier, so I could create volume swells. At the time there was no mono option, Which made this technique that is promising. I reached out to the developer, and asked about a feature he promptly responded. Said it was a good idea. And then, life happens, and things fall to the side. FlashForward, last week, after years of working with an iPad 3, I got a new pro.I remember this app, download it, and much to my surprise and glee, was a mono option. Bravo!
