Phasemaker

A gooad addition to any setup in Auv3 or with a daw...pretty nitpicky synth,for those that like that type of thing lol decent...

Underwhelmed, I sit here with an app in front of me that first and foremost does not even fit in the space of a modern iPhone screen. This app is obviously designed for a much older device and apparently needs updating. However, be warned if you do provoke a response from said developer (Bram Bos), he will defensively pronounce the app as perfectly complete in and of itself. Needless to say the app has a whopping 103 FM sound patches to work with that can only be accessed once you have figured out how to work around the bug riddled interface. For example, they wont appear on an iphone 13 pro max until you have selected user bank and then back to factory. But again, not worth reporting to the dev because he will claim that you just want to criticize him and not appreciate his hard work. Some devs just shouldn’t do their own customer support. I digress.

Anytime I press a key, it crashes. Wish I could use it. Using iPad Air iOS 15.

This synth relies less on presets and more on design, which is really the way things were supposed to work. With such flexibility it’s more enjoyable creating your own patches. This may be the most tweakable, flexible synth I own.

This synth is so incredibly versatile. I love it. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND. And it’s pretty awesome to be able to tell my friends that I do frequency modulation synthesis.

New GUI is way too small on an iPhone SE. Text is too small to read. Now app is practically unusable.

Bram Bos should be commended for their early embrace of the Auv3 standard. I have most of their products and would give 5-star reviews of all of them if I had t*he time. It’s nice that they offer standalone modes for their apps, but they really come alive when used as Auv3 plugins. That’s especially true for Phasemaker. All parameters can be automated in Cubasis. Powerful!

Look I’m not looking to create my own sounds. I have real hardware for that. I thought this would have at least 500 sounds but it has 100 average sounds.

But can you guys add a transpose and split function please that would be awesome Thanks

I own every product from this developer. I am in support of developers embracing the AUv3 standard, especially when it sounds this good. Lots of consistency and simple, but powerful control options. Lots of constant updates with new features. Highly recommended.
