Zeeon synth

I have been using synths on ipad since the first gen. pretty much bought nearly all of them. I got this one to support drambo in a way and I am completely blown away by the sound, quality and usability. I dont know why I expected anything else. bleepstreet is a ios dev veteran and every app reflects this. clean, intuitive UI and amazing sound. amazing.

I am delighted to report longstanding UI issue (in Logic Pro on MacOS) with this terrific synth has FINALLY BEEN FIXED! It works perfectly! Five stars!

This app is great. Just what I was looking for. But every like 5 minutes it kicks me out. I also wish that I could use the sequencer in GarageBand, not just the synth.

It’s just so easy to dial up a pleasing tone on Zeeon! Straightforward architecture with plenty of power and tweakability. And it’s Mac compatible, which multiplies its value for me as a Logic Pro user.

Zeeon just sounds plain great. I set up a bass channel strip in Drambo (another Beep Street classic) that can switch between Zeeon (internal) and Pittsburgh Modular Taiga (external hardware) as sound sources and although they are different in their design, Zeeon is as rich, juicy and deep as it’s analog counterpart.

Sound quality is best in iOS synth business. Osc, filter, amp attention to true analog sound is way ahead of others on iOS. Almost Diva quality. Suggestion, can you do us a huge favor and make Drive Amount a target for modulation? Currently the only way to modulate the wave folding is via AUM and external LFO modulation of the Drive Amount via MIDI. But I want Drive Amount as a mod target from within your app so that it can be audio rate modulated. This would be great. Could use more/all knobs and buttons as mod targets. A little light on modulation targets. Your analog modeling is the best, though. Very detailed filter sweeps and filter drive. The high frequency performance of your noise source is iOS best as well. Again, almost Diva quality. This app is under-praised and under-appreciated.

I love this synth on my ipad but it's very buggy and broken to the point of being unusable on MacOS.

The good-> it sounds good, and there are a ton of presets The bad-> The IAP is nearly inaccessible. It has to be reached in standalone mode, and when you do…it goes to a black screen and either crashes or the IAP becomes visible. Which isn’t a problem once you buy the IAPs right? That brings us to the main deal-breaking problem… The ugly-> Do not get this if you are an iPhone user and using this in GarageBand… you have to go into full screen to access any of the controls, which means you can’t access adjust *anything* and still have access to the keyboard. It gets worse once you get to the preset menu…at the top you see different categories (keys, bass, pads, ect). Unfortunately, if the preset you want happens to be at the bottom of the list, prepare for some intense frustration because those categories I mentioned previously are also BEHIND the preset menu as well, and certain presets (such as Ride Bass) can’t be selected because you will instead click the category. Sometimes double tapping will allow you to pick the sound, but more often than not you’ll keep hitting the category and filter some of the presets instead of making your selection. Good thing I didn’t buy those IAPs after all, as I wouldn’t be able to select some of them. I hated giving this a poor review as I’d heard so many great things , and it does sound good, but the sound means little if it’s not user friendly. If you’re an iPad user this is good albeit a bit dated. For those of us on iPhone only (13 Pro Max here), it’s a bit of a bummer.

The app crashes when pressing the shop button to the right of the keyboard in the standalone app. The app doesn’t recognize it’s in the standalone when looking through the presets in standalone app.

However, it still has a big UI problem which has gone unaddressed for macOS (M1 Mac). Try to adjust a knob and the actual "hotspot" to control it is one step to the left of the actual on-screen knob. Nothing lines up correctly. I have to imagine this is a simple fix, but it has not been looked into for a long, long time. Please investigate and fix this. Thank you!
