Can’t go full screen in Cubasis 3

I bought this to use within Cubasis 3 but the UI doesn’t scale up to full screen, making editing difficult. I’m mostly going to use it for the presets because of this.

Very (very) Deep

It’s hard to say enough about this synth. I’m not going to repeat all that’s in the description but I believe it’s all accurate. In a way, it’s a testimony to how powerful a platform iOS has become because this Synth is immensely capable. Three true independent oscillations per layer (and they’re really synths of their own, not layers) with Omni stackable effects gives you extraordinary sound shaping possibilities. Ok, I said I wasn’t going to repeat the description and I just did. But I can’t imagine a hardware synth being able to do this so simply (I have a Moog One and this can produce sounds that easily rival it - and that synth cost me $8,000). I’m sure I just said something heretical but it, true. Buy this synth and save yourself a ton of money!

Presets goldmine

My lasting impressions of this app are that of simplicity and ease of use combined with the ability to dig deep and form your own pleasantries or insanities, whichever you desire or something in between. If you are looking for something that requires only the touch of a few buttons for a quick sound that requires little or no parameter cracking, like a Yamaha or Casio off the shelf gadget + extras, then your only time consuming part of using the app is making a decision on which of the multitude of presets you are going to use. Otherwise you can shape and form parameters with all of the familiar names in a different looking interface to your heart’s content until you get it where you want it. That being said, the interface makes more sense on some levels than others, but it is nice to see a developer go beyond fake knobs and buttons in and toward something that leaves the old ways behind while maintaining the same sense of analog fatness (that could honestly be a litter fatter).

Presets seem limited in sound variety

It’s great for oran-like sounds. But I couldn’t produce vastly different tones. Maybe it’s just me. Kauldron and Magellan are my fav synths from this dev. Highly recommend both.

Limited in sound variety

The synth is pretty limited harmonically. It’s great for *specific* oran-like sounds. There are these layers and other interesting visual elements but presets all sound similar in feel. I would say Kauldron allows more variety in sound than this. Probably get Magellan instead of Kaspar, I think it’s best at what Kaspar attempts to do, and does a whole lot more. I thought this app was like LayR... it wasn’t... nothing is... but this thing is not even close. Kauldron and Magellan are my fav synths from this dev. Highly recommend both.

Pretty good but cuts out

Love this app, but it crashes. Sometimes when recording in GarageBand and sometimes when sharing songs from GarageBand. Tried a brand new IPad mini 5 with iOS 12.4 and it happened again when sharing a song.

Now I’m fan of this developer

This thing sounds mind blowing, They can match with the moog model D app or even a real Analog Synth. Amazing!
