Dagger synth

This thing sounds so analog it’s amazing. I’ve sold a couple real analog hardwares synths because of this.

Nothing else on iOS sounds quite like it. Don’t worry about what it doesn’t have. Embrace what it does have. A big, horrible, filthy, lovely sound and plenty of character 🍻

The sound of the components is absolutely superb. But a bit frustrated with the limitations. Not having a separate noise generator ruins it for basses, as you have to sacrifice an oscillator for noise. Doesn’t use much cpu, but for some reason lacks polyphony. Because of limitations often needs layering, but there’s no numerical values display making it hard to match values across instances. With 2 vcos + noise + poly this would have been my favourite synth. But as it is I doubt I’ll be using it much. I hope for a Dagger2 with a better design.

So enjoying discovering this new synth; and dang …she’s a wild one! It’s my 1st paraphonic synth so it’s a new experience navigating it’s eccentricities! Fortunately the interface is so clean and intuitive, you quickly learn your way around the GUI and begin to discover its unique, raw, penetrating voice and gain access to it’s aggressive sound palette (which is delicious) …those filters are just out there! It’s a unique specimen and clearly doing its own thing (like a TB303) in terms of cultivating cutting leads and bass, scattering fluttery liquid frequencies into the ether, and generating raw timbres (not so much pads and subtle ambience; although it’s possible)! Once you accept that you can cease trying to approach it like a poly and instead focus on its true nature and simply enjoy exploring and discovering it’s wild untamed voice!

Everything about this synth is outstanding, there’s just never a dull moment.

I’ve not been inspired to leave a review in a very long time…I need more time with this synth, but OMG!!!!!

Greatness in software synthesis.

So far my favorite paraphonic analog bass synth on iOS. Super fat, creamy, and above anything else, does growl like no other.

Epic little synthesizer!!!

Dagger has become my go to for bass lines and acid stuff. The combo of various filter types and a nice, pleasing overdrive is a winner. Definitely sounds analog.
