Being Phased Out?
Underwhelmed, I sit here with an app in front of me that first and foremost does not even fit in the space of a modern iPhone screen. This app is obviously designed for a much older device and apparently needs updating. However, be warned if you do provoke a response from said developer (Bram Bos), he will defensively pronounce the app as perfectly complete in and of itself. Needless to say the app has a whopping 103 FM sound patches to work with that can only be accessed once you have figured out how to work around the bug riddled interface. For example, they wont appear on an iphone 13 pro max until you have selected user bank and then back to factory. But again, not worth reporting to the dev because he will claim that you just want to criticize him and not appreciate his hard work. Some devs just shouldn’t do their own customer support. I digress.
United StatesNot Bram’s Best
This software fm synth got left behind. It’s not even compatible with regular dx7 patches. The included patches are so primitive and thoughtless as it is this is a huge disappointment. I expected better to be honest.
United StatesMeh.
Not really a well thought out interface. Small knobs and buttons centered in a seemingly wasted front panel. Every dev has its redheaded stepchild of a app… this one is bram’s. Need desperate attention or it will become the reputation of the company eventually.
United StatesCmon Bram Update this thing
Its sad that this app is the red headed stepchild of the Bram Bos collection. It is in serious need of an update.
United StatesCrashes on key press
Anytime I press a key, it crashes. Wish I could use it. Using iPad Air iOS 15.
United StatesExcellent AU integration
This synth relies less on presets and more on design, which is really the way things were supposed to work. With such flexibility it’s more enjoyable creating your own patches. This may be the most tweakable, flexible synth I own.
United StatesNerd alert!
This synth is so incredibly versatile. I love it. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND. And it’s pretty awesome to be able to tell my friends that I do frequency modulation synthesis.
