Peter Vogel CMI

As said in the former review: annoying animation at startup -1 Despite the fact that I have upgraded to pro, no pro icon. That said, the icon is ugly un both cases -1

I bought the pro, got it Midi connected to my synth. Weak points: - loading times extremely long - no waveform editing, no point having this page only for showing waves - samplers are per default badly looped once the option is on, they sound like broken record when loop point is reached, this is my main grief. I tried the sampling size change option, just lot of trial and errors taking precious time and irritation - annoying animation at startup (vintage nostalgics find this cool, yes, twice, after 25 app opening :no more) - in app keyboard too small even for testing samplers - division in two CM categories of samplers annoying, why not putting all effects in effects, not in two places (full version) Thanks for reading.

This rocks a lot !!! A Must have for any serious synth lover

It used to be my dream to own a Fairlight ever since I saw Jan Hammer playing it live.... Very recently I had the chance to touch one myself. Thank you very much for this app! Brings back lots of memeories! Lots of fun and works great with the Line6 MIDI Mobilizer.... KEEP THIS LEGEND ALIVE!

Good, but as of Pro 2.4.3, on an iPad Pro running ipados 18, intel chip, it does not allow me to change the names of individual songs, and the play buttons in the sample pane shrink unexpectedly, rendering them near impossible to tap or press. I love the idea of this, and want to use it to spur some creativity, but there are just a couple of roadblocks along the way.

I love this thing As we are in 2024 It is crashing on me, not even getting close to "booting" up. This thing is genius, I hope it lives on

Didn’t work on iOS 14, and then did work on iOS 14, and now on iOS 15 it doesn’t work again. Just crashes immediately. To think I spent $50 on this. Shame as I liked Page R. We can all get Arturia and UVI VSTs of the CMI, but losing access to Page R is the most frustrating part of this seemingly being abandoned. I say abandoned because there’s zero support for this.

First, I’d like to say this could be a five star app. But right now, it needs a lot of things fixed. On the good side, it sounds awesome! If you’re looking for those 80s voices in their 8bit glory, look no further. These are the real deal. You can easily import your own samples or use the built in sampler. It’s got a lot of potential, but you can’t ignore the list of bugs that need to be fixed. I have been running Vogel CMI Pro on an iPad 8th generation - iOS 15.2.1 and ran into these problems: First, the interface is clunky. I understand the retro look, but do we really need a floppy disk “success rate” option? On to the real issues… Audiobus 3 does not work with Vogel CMI. You get an error message saying “Audiobus can’t communicate with this app…” etc. I don’t really use Audiobus, but that needs to work! Vogel CMI will not sync up with Cubasis 3 to do punch in/punch out recording when using the Vogel CMI ‘Page R’ pattern sequencer. I would hope you would be able to record one pattern at a time, similar to the way you can with the Patterning 2 drum machine. Syncing up with Cubasis 3 is a must! Add to this the fact that Vogel CMI can’t export patterns or songs as .wav, .mp3 or other sound formats. Please add! There are no undo buttons. The major problem with the Vogle CMI app is it won’t communicate properly with other apps like Cubasis 3 and Audiobus 3 and can’t export patterns/songs in .wave or .mp3 formats. I would hope the developers have plans to fix these issues.

Crashes immediately on startup in ios14 on iPhone. Reinstalling doesn’t help. Seems abandoned. I paid for the pro upgrade so now I’m trying to figure out how to get a refund.

Eight years later and the full version is still $50US plus tax in 2021. I guess dropping the full version from $50 to $20 now will not boost sales? I ended up moving to Nanostudio 2 and 3 IAPs. If you want a 2020 app that can do pretty much the same.
