  • Same note., 13.03.2013
    Same note
    For those complaining of the same note on multiple keys, make sure the two rotary knobs are not set to one of the pentatonic scale settings. Loving this app so far. Show more

    Needs Retina Support!!
    This app is one I use all the time, but come on. It's one of the few apps I have that do not support Retina Displays. They've been around going on 3 years, so there is absolutely no reason this app shouldn't support it. As much as I love it, it looks crummy on Retina. Update your app to current technology. Show more

    Whelp
    The sound samples aren't great, and there's not much you can do as far as adjustment goes. honestly I want my money back

    Love it! Very realistic.
    I love this app! Very realistic to what I use in church. I would like to see support for the sustain pedal in a future release since you have to take one hand off the keyboard to to make any on- the-fly adjustments. Still, a great app. Show more

    Decent software organ
    - Upper Drawbars: cc #70 to #78, midi channel 1 - Lower Drawbars: cc #70 to #78, midi channel 2 - Pedal Drawbars: cc #70 and #71, midi channel 3 - Leslie Run/Stop: cc #81 - Leslie Slow/Fast: cc #80 - Upper Vibrato: cc #85 - Lower Vibrato: cc #86 - V/C Knob: cc #87 - K-Click: cc #93 - Percussion On/Off: cc #94 - Percussion Volume: cc #102 - Percussion Decay: cc #103 - Percussion Harm.: cc #95 - Reverb: cc #82 - Overdrive: cc #111 - Preset Keys C#-A#: Program Changes 1 to 10 Sounds ok and works well via MIDI. I would prefer the iPad would not go to sleep while playing via MIDI. AudioBus support would be nice. Documentation could be better. Show more

    Needs work
    The concept is there but the realistic use if this app is vitally flawed. Certain keys in certain modes become stuck as the same notes, such as E and F and A, Ab and B. This is a serious flaw and needs to be fixed immediately. Also, although midi keys are supported there should be some kind of midi support feature that would allow the programming of a mod wheel/ pitch wheel and volume knob to things such as vibrato and pitch volume.

    I want to love it
    It's well implemented, pretty decent ui, pretty dang great except the sound is just not there. The organ in GarageBand sounds better. As a vb3 user, I just can't enjoy this very much, despite how amazing it nearly is. Show more

    Inaccurate Notes
    The E and F keys are the same note and so are A, Ab, and B. Until fixed this app is useless. I like everything else and will revise my rating when this is fixed Show more

    All the bells and whistles, but lackluster sound
    Love all the options, but the sound just ain't there for me. The percussion and key click it much too soft. Most of the presets have an awful sloshy attack and the tone wheel sounds are rather bland. The reverb is way too much even at low settings and the distortion is too digital and brittle. The rotary effect is not terrible, but as mentioned in other reviews, the fast setting is a bit too fast. I ended up buying all of the optional presets with the word "ROCK" in the description thinking perhaps I had failed to use the settings correctly...what a waste of time and money. Only a couple of them come close to what I need. Garage Band's organs sound way better, but have much fewer setting options and have an awful tendency to get notes stuck on with no way to unstick them without resetting the instrument. This app unsticks a note just by tapping the corresponding key...VERY NICE! 3 stars because all the settings are there like on the real thing. Hopefully there will soon be an update to improve the sound. Show more

    Dupe notes
    Too many keys play same note. Anybody experience this on iphone4?
  • BuFamous, 01.09.2012
    Almost Perfect!
    Great app. Just about perfect, and sounds like the real deal. My only wish? I know the original doesn't have a sustain pedal, but adding controller 64 to the midi features would make my day! Show more

    PLEASE Make a 2nd app for the professional musician
    Absolutely thrilled about the midi update. If you lose the keyboards on the screen & make the drawbars & controls larger, as a musician I would be thrilled to pay up to $100 for the app Two large rows of drawbars would allow perfect access for musicians using the app with a midi keyboard. A "wind up" Leslie effect would complete the package This would open a brand new market for this already great app, one that would appeal to the professional musician. Show more

    All but one
    I really enjoy this app. Definitely better in sound and function than Organ+. I would give 5 stars but I cant use it live yet. Every now and then, a note will stick and I have to figure out which one it is while I am playing (good for ear training!). That is my only gripe though. The sound is amazing! Show more

    Fast Leslie is too fast
    This is a great sounding app! The only problem is the fast Leslie speed is way too fast. It does not sound real at all on fast.You need to slow down the fast speed a bit. Everything else about the app is great. I'm using it on all my gigs! Show more

    Organ sounds muffled with rotary off
    Don't get me wrong, this is an incredible hammond organ app. I just don't like the way it sounds with the rotary / run set to "stop." The sound is great with the rotary on, and I like the way it speeds up from slow to fast just like a real hammond. This is great for certain types of music, but sometimes you just want a flat organ sound with no rotary. The only problem (and I truly mean "only" problem) is that the organ sounds like it's muffled when set like this. I really hope they fix this in an update, because I really love this app. Show more

    Needs a slower Leslie on fast
    The fast Leslie is WAY TOO FAST! Does not sound realistic like this. Give option to ADJUST THE SPEED OF THE LESLIE on fast!! Garage band organ has half the draw bars and sounds more realistic than this. Add ability to use sustain pedal as Leslie switch (slow/fast) on a MIDI enabled keyboard. Fix these two things and I'll return and rate 5 stars!! Show more

    Wonderful app!
    I'm sort of a beginner on the organ, so for working on my basic parts this app is perfect. I play the organ at church and use this app a lot. I've had some glitches with the app and was able to delete and reinstall it within a few minutes and everything worked fine again. A Hammond with a decent Leslie on my phone? I love that! Show more
  • Classic Arcade Maniac, 11.04.2012
    It's Ok
    It's Ok, but I prefer Garageband's B3 organ. This was first, and give them credit for that. Time to update to compete though.
  • tgjjr, 22.03.2012
    Good, but...
    Core midi does not work. Can't play it from my keyboard. I was hoping to use this as another tool in my live-music arsenal. The sounds are awesome, but without midi, it is useless - especially on iPhone. Please update. Show more

    Junk
    What a rip off! You can't play a song on this. Keys stop sounding even when you hold them down. I want my $ back!
