Continua

Thank you for the update!

I absolutely love this synth , I use it so often.

Another synth from Audio Damage that sounds totally unique. Some reviews complain about a lack of MIDI mapping but the controls are all there in the AUv3 extension. Just load it up in AUM or the DAW of your choice and map to your heart’s content!

Wonderful synth that is severely hampered by only six voices poly. Why? Also no unison detune control. It’s really too bad because it does have an excellent sound, but I find 8 voices minimum is acceptable for a poly synth, 16 minimum with unison. That puts this synth in a really weird place where it’s only useful for keys and plucks, not pads and definitely no problem supersaw. It isn’t a CPU issue because these six voices barely touch the processor on my iPad. Very weird limitation on an otherwise great synth, but it handicaps the thing so much that i can only give two stars.

Since this whole iPad synth revolution began I’ve purchased over 100 synths. Most are still on my iPad. This one resides in my top 10! Though it doesn’t have near the patch list as, say SynthMaster One, the patches that come with it are so lush and full and just simply beautiful! It’s an easy synth to edit and create great patches with. This app should get way more love! I highly recommend it!

I love ALL apps by Audio Damage and advocate ANYONE to just buy them. You won’t regret. But... any chance on implementing a midi keyboard on ALL of your AuV3’s and be able to record the pitch automation??? That would be phenomenal, as I have been having some issues with other apps midi capabilities so it’d be nice to use them again.

I initially wrote that this synth only listened on ch1 in AUv3 mode, well now in the current version it’s listening in Omni (all ports) as it should. So in your DAW of choice you can just select which channel(s) you want to assign to Continua. Must have been a bug. Glad it’s fixed now! 👍 Continua doesn’t attempt to cover a huge harmonic range, instead, it goes deeper into exploring a particular range of sound. It sounds good on it’s own but I often use it combined with other synths, as it gives them a well defined highs/mids range that they wouldn’t be able to produce otherwise. Highs/mids range is also the bread and butter for making ambient sounds by adding reverb. And sure enough, Continua comes with a very capable reverb for this purpose. UI of this app is really great. In particular, I love the ease of assigning modulation. It’s tied to the knobs directly, instead of some matrix or LFO... Simply double tap on any knob and add any of the modulations you want - and there’s a lot! One request, please make scrolling through presets easier. For now, when scrolling it selects a preset under your finger.

Can we pleeeeeeaaaaasssseeee get midi mapping to midi controllers, it’s 2020, we aren’t savages living in the dark ages. Other than that the synth is great but no midi mapping is extremely amateur.

This has quickly become my go to synth when I start a session in AUM. The presets are lovely and the interface is straight forward enough to easily build something complex and beautiful from scratch. The range of this synth is amazeballs - everything from hard distorted glitch to lush ethereal pads. The modulation possibilities are almost overwhelming because they’re so extensive (a very good thing). The hours I spent just happily playing this with my roli were worth the price alone. I’ll be spending a long long time exploring this synth. I’ve had no latency issues, personally. Aside from the occasional stuck key my only real issue was with Bluetooth not working but that was quickly fixed. btw- People giving one star reviews for features they personally want that weren’t included is the definition of entitled petulance. 😒

Good good. Don’t believe the haters! This app is the greatest MPE synth out there. So easy to program with the Linnstrument. This app deserves more love.
