iProphet Synthesizer

c’mon guys.show some customer appreciation (?)

Update: 12th Jan 2021 - I cannot believe that these issues still remain after waiting for so long (approx 3 years) since my original review! App deleted once more, as it is still unusable. This produces the great sounds of the mighty Prophet VS, but this rendition has issues and missing items, including the all important velocity and aftertouch modulation. These really make this synth come alive and I cannot understand why Arturia have left them out on the IOS version, as they have implemented it properly on their VSTi. Instead, they have assigned accelerometer X & Y as sources in the modulation matrix. Why anyone would want to tilt their iPad while trying to playing the keyboard at the same time is a mystery to me! Along with 2 show stopping bugs - hanging notes produced when sliding up/down the virtual keyboard while playing chords and all my presets I had been building up, magically disappearing, I am very disappointed and cannot really use or recommend this app in its present state. I really hope that Arturia can fix the problems and give it velocity & aftertouch capability and it will be a 5 star app - just like iSEM is. I have noticed in the latest release, that Retronyms are now encouraging us to tell them about issues found. However, some time before this update I contacted both Retronyms and Arturia about these issues. Even though both of them responded that they are aware that there are problems with this app, unfortunately they have not been fixed.

I just got this to find it near on impossible to use it within the BeatMaker 3 app with out having to go between the to apps n then for it to crash I going try get refund I think other than that the sounds are pukka

As a stand alone it sounds great, but to be actually useful in any way these days, you need to update iProphet to AUv3 in order to use in other hosts, im sure more folk would be interested too. Why have you implemented AUv3 in iSEM but missed it in both the iProphet and iMini apps?

iOS 14 killed this, great synth, no longer working, don’t waste your money until it’s updated...if it ever is

This crashes within about a minute of using it, and refuses to reopen. Can delete the app and redownload if you’d like another minute or so of use. This should really be removed from the App Store as the developer has abandoned it and it doesn’t work anymore. Awaiting a refund from Apple...

Stopped loading after iOs update. Love the sounds but Midi implemtation is poor and AU please Currently unable to use

Please.

Tends to get stuck in the background after being used in a track in a DAW, and doesn’t close when swiped away from the list of running apps, just stays running draining battery and inaccessible. Freshly charged iPad Pro 10.5 this morning, not used all day, came home to find battery at 73%, turns out to be Prophet stuck having used almost all of that. Have uninstalled for now. Shame, as I like its 80s goodness.

but seems to have problems working with other apps using IAA. i hope the developers can resolve this soon, or maybe it will fix itself when ios 11 has been updated. fingers crossed for one or the other.
