    Best damned app for iPad + guitar
    Bought this app for 0.99. I can’t stop playing with it on my iPads with the apogee jam interface!!! So many sounds professional sounding arps & synths with pads and bass synths. For me a jakoff guitar player, I love it because I don’t have to know music theory or guitar to play it because it does it all rhythm tempo plus you can get lost in designing your own sounds! Great job Roxsyn keep up the good work! Show more

    7 stars... I really mean it. 7 stars.
    The open ended capacity of this app is mind blowing. Started playing with it a month ago. It's responsive, brilliant, wild. The developer is a masterful cocreator for my music. It's a pleasure playing with you, brother… Show more

    Amazing
    Unique ! The tones are amazing. One can edit the tones in literally an infinite amount of variation. I have been messing with this for hours and have been drawn in to the point where I forgot to eat lunch. I don’t believe there is anything quite like this on the App Store. Show more

    Worth every penny
    Great app! Very cool guitar synth at a fraction of the price. I’d be happy to pay for an upgrade for more waveforms/waveshapers too. Really fun product, no midi, no tracking delays! Show more

    Wow....just...wow...
    I am a keyboardist first and foremost and I’m okay at playing guitar but I can’t seem to put the guitar down now since I got this app...it’s a game changer!! Just a total different perspective on what you can do with strings. I remember a friend having the Roland GR1 way back in the 90’s and that thing never came close to what you can do with this... it’s simply amazing I have had a constant smile on my face since I plugged into it, so much fun!

    I love the response, but...Developers please add some features
    This is the best guitar synth that picks up all the dynamics that other midi guitar synths don’t..It doesn’t have limited sound that gives off like the other apps, its very expressive with stuff like bending notes and vibrato. I just wish that the voices provided in this app also included saw wave, sine wave etc. All the sounds start sounding the same after a while. This app has a lot of potential to have a guitar player/ synthesist change the instrument of a synthesizer. The guitar is way more expressive than the piano because of how human it is to press a note on a fret and have it slightly off pitch when bending it just a little..the piano is so rigid in playing notes..sure they have a pitch wheel but its not as expressive as shaking notes on a guitar with your finger or whammy bar. If they have the traditional sounds like the sine wave and sawtooth, synthesizer players might consider playing a guitar instead..like what if there can be a foot pedal that can allow you to oscillate manually like a wah pedal. Please add the feature of adding the traditional sine wave and sawtooth, triangle, square etc. voices Show more

    Doesn’t work wih external midi
    It even recognizes my midi controller but just won’t work...and sine it has no built in virtual keyboard...it’s practically useless right now

    Some presets make no sound
    I really like the app. All in all it works very good. Only two issues. Some of the presets produce no sound. Most do, but some just have no sound. Also, it’s output level is a little to inconsistent and low for actual live use. Otherwise, very fun, and 100% worth downloading. Show more

    Great app!
    I bought this app because I thought it had the ability to be used as a MIDI instrument on other DAWS like midi guitar 2 but it seems like this is not capable. Otherwise great app. I would give it 5 stars if it had that function. Show more

    NICE APP
    Sounds great and the developer is a generous person. I had one complaint about it and he assured me that the next update will address that issue. In the meantime he offered a free Yonac App to compensate. Show more

    Love but problems...
    Not showing up as AUV3 and I can’t change the sample rate even though I’m using irighd2. Sounds and tracking are amazing however. Need these problems fixed though and will change to 5 stars Show more

    Better than a $200 pedal
    This sounds better than Boss’s much-hyped new $200 synth pedal. The Boss demos/videos I’ve seen all have cheesy ‘80s synth sounds; if I wanted to play those, I’d just use a synth. The special sauce here is that Roxsyn produces more complex, interesting sounds (though it can still sound like Miami Vice if you want that.) The tracking and polyphony are quite good. Not perfect, but once you tweak the tracking it’s quite easy to play. It does glitch sometimes, but I embrace that as part of the sound. (20 years from now that’ll be “retro” and everyone will be emulating tracking glitches...) Show more

    Awesome synth for guitar very responsive
    I had some problems getting it to work on my IPad Pro but the problem is on my end somewhere it works awesome on my iPad Air, well worth the money. Show more
  • Neumuzik, 11.08.2019
    I like what I’m hearing and seeing
    Having said that, there are dozens and dozens of presets which sound identical to each other and some with the volume so low I’m not even sure there is anything there. I’d be OK with fewer initial presets if there were more which were distinctively different sounding. Adding more sounds or functions later would be OK with me also. I don’t regret the purchase, just to be clear! Show more

    It’s Great!
    I own a Roland guitar synth setup and Roxsyn puts the Roland to shame. This synth has great possibilities. It’s just about perfect. It’s probably me just learning the system. I’m really happy and impressed. Hope they continue to tweak everything and make more presets. Seriously buy it! you will not be disappointed. Update. Not all of the presets work. Is this happening to anyone else? The presets that work are very good, but... not all work properly. Show more

    Superb App
    Yonac is changing the game with Roxsyn. Hopefully we will see even more quote (waveforms) in the future. Maybe a phase distortion or a bit crusher/sample rate reducer added to the 5 current offerings. 5 Stars to Yonac for thinking outside of the midi pitch tracking paradigm that has plagued guitar synthesis for over 3 decades. It’s crazy to think this is the first usable guitar synthesizer that has made it to market since the idea of synthesized guitar came to market in 1984. BRAVO! Show more

    Great, great, great!
    Awesome app. It does have some note dropout here and there, but it’s rare. Giving 5 stars in good faith that details will be corrected. As for what it does, it’s amazing. Seems to be filters applied over the guitar sound. Not quite true synthesis, but like stomp box emulators arranged to sound like a synth. Don’t know if that’s how they did it, just seems like it might be. The sounds are great, though. Using your guitar to control a bass synth sound is incredibly freeing. Used a Korg microSampler to make some backing beats, put some synth lines in with Roxsyn. It was very easy to get ideas and play the kind of weird stuff in my head. $9.99 is a bit pricey for some, but for a quality music app, this is an exception you want to make, ESPECIALLY if you play guitar. Besides they are indicating the price will go up, not down. Grab it. Show more

    The Shizzle!
    OMG this thing is sssssoooooo awesome! It’s gonna put Roland out of business. I’ve been playing for over 40 years , spent at least $50,000 on equipment and this is best and funnest effect I’ve ever used. The best $10- I’ve ever spent in my life. I think people(Roland) get greedy and they don’t realize that the more affordable you keep things, the more money you’ll make in the long run if you have a good product. Success leaves clues. Would you rather sell a million hamburgers for $20- or be like Mc Donald’s and make billions... duhhhh Show more

    Disappointed...until I read the manual
    I am a guitar synth nut. I have a Fishman Midi pickup, I’ve tried multiple synth apps and this looked like it was a perfect addition to my IPad. I plugged my guitar into my iRig 2 interface, fired up the app and thought I had bought a dud. Tracking was slow, half the sounds didn’t work. What are these people that like this app doing that I’m not? Then I looked at the manual. Set the sample size to “smaller” and my tracking problem was solved.Set the Processing Quality to “better” instead of “best” and suddenly presets were working. (I have a second generation iPad mini and I guess the processor was struggling)Adjusted the auto trigger threshold and dynamics and and wow, what a difference! I’m just starting to scratch the surface of what this thing can do. If your into guitar synths, you should definitely get this one. Just do yourself a favor and do what I should have done first. Read the manual. Show more

    Nearly perfect!
    Seamless tracking, incredible patches to select from, easy to tweak...what more can I say! I play bass and this app has no key limit like other similar apps...every step further I take into this app is completely inspiring! However, in the stand alone version it chooses the left channel from my audio interface so my guitar mix only plays out of the left side and I can’t find a way to change the input channel, but in AUM I am able to select the proper channel from my interface which bypasses that issue. Keep up the great work Yonac! ???‼️? Show more
