Viking Synth

Good synth, but my saved presets not loaded in Garage band

Synth is very cool and I use it so much in my projects. But there is a bug after iOS 14 update. The synth doesn’t save any preferences. So every time I open my project, every instance of the plugin is with default settings. And that is not only related to viking. Reverb and overdrive behave this way too. It destroyed a number of my projects... PLEASE FIX IT!!!

The only reason I bought this synth is because it's in AU format. I primarily use cubasis as my iOS daw-and found out after I bought viking synth that it doesn't support presets within cubasis which is a real bummer. You can check out the presets if you have garageband installed. The sounds are ok, but don't come anywhere close to the quality of Arturia's iSem(also AU format) I suppose for the price you can't really go wrong -and it's also nice to have a different flavour AU synth at ones disposal. Here's hoping blamsoft sort out the preset situation.

Using this in GarageBand version 2.3.15 on my iPad Pro iOS 17.1.2 This app is frustrating because it sounds awesome and the presets are amazing, but for some reason the presets only show up maybe 10% of the time I start a new track. The other 90% of the time it just says “default” or “preset” but when I click on it there’s just an empty window where the preset library should be. Sometimes the presets will work on a track but when I click back in to choose a new one they mysteriously disappear. It’s too bad because I really want to use this app but the inconsistency of the preset library is making it untenable for use. Devs do you have any advice? I’ve deleted and reinstalled, powered on and off: still having the same issue.

Kudos would love to see something new I definitely would support!

It ain’t pretty, but it’s functional.

Holy crap, loaded this up in AUM and was not expecting to be blown away with a holy grail of bass goodness. This should be on the top bass synths. Hidden gem for sure, There are so many presets it will blow your mind and some are giving my mood Minotaur vibes. Negative reviews seems to be from folks looking for a standalone synth which this is not. You need AUM or midibus.

This synth is can generate gnarly bass tones. It’s my starter bass in my AUM projects right now. It can do acid tones, but more laid back stiff, too. It has a versatile filter section that sounds great. It’s versatile without being cumbersome. Generally, it’s straightforward and easy to use. AND, every parameter can be automated via MIDI. Pair this with some LFO’s to add some tonal variations and “spice” on repetitive basslines.

Nice sounding, simple synth. (By the way, it shows up and works fine in Garage Band on my iPad).

Can’t access presets in BM3. Useless app.
