Magellan is the bold new professional analog modeling synthesizer for the iPad. Not content with just one synth, we gave Magellan TWO independent polyphonic synth engines. Individually or together, they deliver a new powerful warmth to the sound of iOS music. Complete with a full FX rack, a total of six oscillators, dual filters per engine, multiple unison stages, extensive modulation matrix, dedicated arps, powerful MIDI capabilities, and a polyphonic step-sequencer - the aural possibilities with Magellan are infinite!

All I get is audio static - fresh re-install ipad5
This is why I prefer hardware synths. I have now contacted Yonac twice via the support page but still no answer.
United StatesTop notch
Maybe I missed it any random generator for the arp?
United StatesFull featured beast
If they added a wave table , then it would be daunting to play and I am glad they stuck to 3 analog oscillators. My only complaint is that when oscillator 3 is disconnected from keyboard, you cannot use it as a drone. Maybe there is a way but I am not able to figure it out. It is not warm sounding as a real analog synth but it is good enough and if needed you can use a tube preamp or one of the effect units. The multi track sequencer is a beast and you can get a lot out of it. I can do things that would require 4 outboard gear at least. The arpeggiator also dual mode is awesome, specially the pedal type mode, which I had to program as a sequence in other synths. Some people complain about its lack of modern features but performance ways, there is enough maybe too much. The presets have too much reverb and just a couple good lead sound. But I was able to get a minmoog parch up quickly. I like that the FM has an ADSR but it is not easy to use but if you know how, it is more rewarding than what other synths, analog and modeled offer. And the touch strip keyboard, wow. Other folks just give you a chromatic strip but here, they have chord and scale and ability to customize. If they added other tuning, not just the tempered tuning then I would be over the moon. I know only one synth that does it Audiokit Synth One. XY pad is a welcome performance tool. I do not know if that can be mapped to an external pad. This is a really good synth, not just for an iPad synth. This review does not cover more than 10 percent overview. I suggest reading the online manual to get an idea what it provides. Considering the small area of the iPad, I think the UI is not too bad. I think if they employed templates for things you need so you can reduce the number of visible controls, that would be great. For example the touch strip s, if they full screened those, then the performance value would further be enhanced. But overall no deal breakers for me. You really need the big iPad Pro. My 10.5 is too small for me anyway.
United StatesDoesn’t work
Used to be great. No longer works with newer IOS
United StatesWILL NOT RUN ON IPAD
Warning broken and abandoned app.
United StatesNeeds AUV3
Great sounding synth .. have had it since day one .. good enough that I’d be a shame if it didn’t get an AUV3 upgrade .. please please please Mr. Yonac 🙏
United StatesI use to use this ALL THE TIME!?!
Ever since AuV3 BLEW UP!!! It’s almost like I’ve completely forgotten about apps that only run IAA.. Sadly, they just collect digital dust in the forgotten folder(s). Maybe one day I’ll go old school, until then AuV3 is the future!?! Anyways, MR. YONAC, you phenomenal developer you!!! I LOVE ALL OF YOUR APPS & ADMIRE YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE!?! I miss using Magellan as an integral part of my work flow, therefore, I’m begging you, PLEASE, pretty please upgrade MAGELLAN with AuV3 audio unit compatibility, so that we all can finally yet again sleep comfortably @ night??? If this ever happens, you can guarantee *5*STARs from me!?! Thank you again, keep up the great work!?!
