Yep! STILL GREAT!
Started out great. Recent update made it even better. I like the interface and the sounds I get out of it. Well done!
United StatesAnother winner from BLEASS
First the negative…I’m not really a fan of the presets. The positive: everything else. It’s easy to make your own patches that sound great thanks to the typically awesome BLEASS UI . Everything they’ve made before and after Alpha has held true to that. Everything is simple to use, but the level of depth is amazing. You need this synth….
United StatesA beast and a burden
Powerful synth but lacks an effective way for navigating sound banks. As a result, what could be my favorite synth is actually a disappointment I rarely open.
United StatesIntuitive…versatile…powerful
Of the many analog synths I’ve used, Alpha is by far one of the most intuitive and powerful. Using it as a plugin with Cubasis 3, I find the link to be very solid and connects instantly with the DAW. The ability to create different sounds on different tracks from the same plugin, and have them stay set, puts Alpha a step above many other synth plugins. The Bleass approach to the user interface, consistent across all of their products, makes using them a very pleasant experience. Alpha is fantastic tool for any musician and sound designer.
United StatesI don’t even have the right words
At 47 years old I finally decided to seriously start making my own music. I took classes, been spending time learning and practicing. Watching a lot of videos on YouTube by pros and one of them mentioned this synth. Did some research and took the plunge and I’m blown away. It’s so easy yet so complex. I crafted my own sound and already used it in a project hours after buying it. Playing directly into Garageband is so seamless and perfect I can’t possibly give this enough stars. Keep doing what you’re doing devs - this is nothing short of spectacular and has inspired me to keep experimenting with new sounds. I’m in awe of what you’ve created!
United StatesThe Best iOS Synth
Try and you will know.
United StatesBasic sounds…
They are decent noises, and tons of them, but most are rather uninspiring. There are a few gems that have space in my faves so definitely keeping the fully loaded app in the mix. Speaking of mix, while most of the sounds by themselves are perhaps a bit lackluster, they leave a lot of room in the audio spectrum for other tracks, and sometimes this app offers just the perfect patch that fits nicely in the mix.
