    Great app, great user manual!
    One of the best user manuals I’ve come across on iOS. Super well done. You can figure out how to use this thing in 10 mins (but a lifetime to master -lol!) Sounds great, super intuitive almost don’t even need a manual but I appreciate when they’re done right! A+ would buy again! Show more

    Great old friend back again.
    Thanks for updating this classic. It works with midi and I love to use it with quantum sequencer. Cheers

    Versatile Nice App
    This app has a lot of hidden uses.I often record samples into it and play around with all the effects etc to achieve a certain sound.I love the record feature and audio past etc it works very well with other DAW's. highly recommended instead of wasting money on other apps,this app does the job.

    AUDIO-BUSS please! Way over do
    This is the best grain "anything" ..that I've used. Sample something ...then process it ! Fantastic!I literally I use this app on every sound design project in my studio and on jobs for clients. It's a major part of my tool kit ....the most useful grain synth ever! Not kidding it's amazing! But it needs audio buss like a million years ago!peace christo Show more

    potentially one of the most useful
    I so wish Sylo had a better midi integration with the rest of the synth apps on my iPad. and like another reviewer said ... Audiobus support. Sylo was one of the first synth apps I put on my iPad and an early introduction to grain synthesis. you can have hours of entertainment and post production level audio with this app, but there is a very strong need to allow it to "play nicely" with Thor, iMini, Patterning, iSEM, Animoog, etc ... maybe this app is in a phase-out due to mitosynth - I dunno - but if that issue is worked on its 5 stars, seeing that the UI is very simple and there's virtually no learning curve - your kids will LOVE IT!!

    Would be perfect, but...
    ...no audiobus support. I love this app, but audiobus support would make me love it even more.

    Amazing synth/sampler
    Really love this synth. You can get some amazing timbres just by sampling everyday sounds around the house. I actually like it better than its big brother synth Grain Science, which is more full featured but much more complex to program. There's something about the simplicity of Sylo that keeps me coming back to it. Show more

    Underrated synth app! Expecting more to come
    Loving the freshness of tones and expressing them in raw and different ways. Old grungy guitar tone can become a synth lead monster with slight tweaks of preamps, distortion, ring mods...basically tons of options to make your sound your own. Some of the effects I wouldn't have any use for musically, but I look forward to hopefully an expanding sound library to experiment with. One awesome feature I look forward to using is its ability to record any sound you input into it (you can even sing into the mic and it will generate a changeable sound wave) and tweaking it. Expanding the current sound library would make this 5 stars for me. Show more

    Audiobus support
    Why no Audiobus with new update?

    Unique
    For the times you just can't find the right sound. Create it. Brilliant!

    Good synth
    Interesting synth app. Wish you could save. Flaming Lips' Steven Drozd uses this live. Quite commendable.

    Review
    It's great.but I would love to save the custom sounds I make.
  • Whisperswords, 10.04.2013
    Nice
    This is a great synth. I just only wish it had audio bus support.
  • junejunejuniejune, 24.01.2013
    Fun
    This is good stuff, but I realllyyyy WISH there was a way to save the sounds you custom make.

    Free Version Has Ads
    I have V1.1.11 and am afraid to upgrade because the free version has ads across the top. Who knows what else is under the hood that might be considered nefarious. The upgrade path promises no ads but ads on the free version made me lose trust in this company. There was no advance warning that I'd have to contend with pesky ads. Not cool. The synth itself is very simple so beginners can learn from using it. However, I don't see it being worth the upgrade price for more advanced users. The on-screen keys are difficult to play. I'll have to try this with an external controller to see if my user experience improves. Show more

    Mangled sonic fun
    When I was still fairly new to the iPad universe, I was trying out all the free synth apps. This one I purchased in app after only 30 seconds of twisting a couple of knobs and hearing fresh, innovative sonar spectrums. This is certainly a niche synth...look elsewhere for nice tranquil pads. Sample any sound and mangle with grain synth, delay, ring modulator, a unique freaky low pass filter; add some single-knob FM and distortion and make musical noise like no other synth can even imagine. Export in-app recording to other apps for further manipulation. Easy MIDI options, too. This is by far the best kept secret for fantastic new sound creation. Small tweaks make big changes to the tone. Again, this is for making unique, glitch-style music; real easy to make ultra-harsh synth solos that really stand out in a mix. Definitely a very useful tool in my producing arsenal. Well done Wooji Juice. Show more

    Skrillex good
  • NorthStarDJ, 22.09.2012
    For beginners
    FUn for beginners but not very useful for experienced producers.
