Another broken app (yawn)

Kurt52 on

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.

The iPad Classic

Wrave on

I’ve used Orphion since the beginning on an original iPad. It’s still great!

Amazing piece of iPad gear . . .

marchrain on

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 . . .

Love using this app. It brings a new and fresh idea to my tracks when producing. I wish more additional sounds would be added.

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

Amazing, Great for Real Drum Sequencing

Gern Blasnton on

Extremely expressive, responsive, and a great use of touch technology! WISH LIST: More velocity increments Set up export to Files, email, etc.

A true original musical instrument and experience!

JoshuaDb222 on

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!

Very Cool

Manelee Arnbee on

Simple and quite unique in character. Very musical! This is why I love iPad so much. Because of apps like this, the versatility of an iPad really shine! Half the time I just playing the thing, Thanks. Only bad thing so far is the the thing stops playing audio once I close my iPad and has to be restarted even though I have sleep disabled? A minor thing though but should be fixed.

iPad 10,5” is a no go

ChrisE1G on

Lovely instrument, very expressive the way it handles touch gestures when playing. Unfortunately, even after the iOS 11 update, this app isn’t working properly on the newer 10,5” iPads as large parts of the playing areas are outside the screen.

No longer being supported, do not buy

Kaiser1313 on

This app doesn’t work in iOS11 and the link to support no longer works. It looks like this app is not being supported any more. When I try to use the app the orientation is stuck and I can’t access the menu or the editing feature, which was in in app purchase. Was one of my favorite apps, totally useless now.
