Appmuse

The issues are fixed. This synth rocks. I have eyed it forever but passed due to reviews. Time for some others to take the plunge!

I have seen no evidence of slowness or lag, even on my old pad. The app has never crashed in my years of using it. The little on-screen keyboard was improved. I do not care about presets, and cannot imagine basing a public synthesizer review on my opinion of the presets, even if I used presets. This synth has compelling sound quality and highlights two-stage formant filters and simple, useful automations. It has a good range of sound possibility, has its own, distinctive character, is very straightforward to use, and gives complex results in minimal patching time. What’s not to like? Buy, enjoy.

I’m surprised by all the negative reviews.. this is an amazing little synth.. I’m using it to get those hard to create RUSH synthesizer sounds.. well worth the price!

Edit: None of the below have been addressed, another thing to add is that the onscreen keys are lagging real bad when trying to play something faster. This is on the 10,5” iPad Pro. —— Unique is a classic desktop plugin synth. It has its own sound, and will provide some new unique timbres in iOS land. It's great, amazing, awesome yada ya da etc, except for one thing... Look. At. The. Keyboard. It's 1 octave. You literally can't play the thing. 2 octaves is bare minimum, up to 2,5-3 octaves should be in the options. I'm scratching my head here as this is the first Sugar Bytes app with a new touchscreen friendly facelift. That and the fact that the actual synth is great. I'll update my review when I can play this beautiful synth. Show more

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Sugarbytes.

I have been very patiently waiting since its release, hoping for an update to fix the crazy laggy and sluggish UI on 'newer' devices. But after all this time it seems it has still been ignored by the developer. I reduced my rating because of this. If you read also the reviews of their iPhone version you will find the same complaints from users. I own an iPadPro 9.7 with 256GB and even the most demanding apps run extremely smooth on it, except for this one. I own all other SugarBytes apps which run smoothly as well, so this is their worst product so far in my opinion. Sorry for the harsh words, but they have been giving the benefit of the doubt for a very long time since the release of this app but have done nothing in the mean time about all the many complaints of users. Still no update, no fix, no AU.... NO STARS! Show more

That's right... a whole 15 minutes of sugarbyte rush excitement from first discovering on app site to finding in App Store, to purchasing, downloading and.. Now.. To... play It won't play. I have an iPad 3... I know it's old but all iPads are listed to work... Getting money back... Very disappointed Show more

I have just installed this and going thru the default patches, they all sound the same. Each one is a slight variation of the last and not inspiring, boring is what comes to mind. Patches should showcase a synth, and if this is your showcase then I have just wasted my money. sorry 1st impressions last. And this will be the last synth in my list. Show more

Sounds awesome works great ! 12-24-17

Crashes on recent filterfix fixed. Ok back to the drawing board. Guess Unique is pretty much sunk.

It’s a great synth, it’s fun to program, it looses two stars because of the poor QC during the last two updates. It would have been FAR less damaging to the developers reputation to have noted in the app description that an update was coming ‘soon’ and gotten those updated right from the start, rather than to have loosed the prior updates upon the world.... But I can now recommend it without hesitation and with the hope that any future updates (if they’re ever needed) get proper testing prior to release. Show more

I have no latency nor sluggishness on my 12.9" iPad Pro. The vowels voicing is real good but Unique is missing one very basic feature...note hold.

Still a serious problem on iPad Pro. Can't recommend until this issue is fixed and it's been a month. In addition the last app by Suger Bytes, Egoist has same problem on pro. Deal breaker. Show more

The update helps a bit and turning the pitch Lfo off helps the latency issue a little bit. The keyboard is still not completely in sync with programs. The sounds and arpreggiator are great. I knocked it up 2 stars. I still have not tried with Bluetooth midi since the update but it could help too. I will rate this 5 stars when latency is unoticable Show more

It still has problems on iPad Pro, but it works fine on air 1 and air 2. I am confident the issues with the pros will get fixed. Other than that, it sounds great! Lots of presets, definitely up there on my list of synths. Much meat. Show more

This app like every sugar bytes app sounds fantastic and has tremendous potential, if only the issue of everything being slow and barely functional. (I have noticed Egoist having similar issues as well). MIDI however does work fairly well on this app despite in app issues, do not give up on this one.....much promise. Show more

don't know 'bout the other fella but he needs his pad checked or rebooted. i have an old ipad air 16gb and it runs smooth as silk. i think it is a little pricey comparatively but sugar bytes has ALWAYS thought highly of themselves. lol although in reality $15 for a decent software synth is a steal. cheers Show more
