This is unacceptable there is still no MIDI learn now. I reduce my rate to protest.

I held off on buying any of VirSyn's products for a little while, but ended up with the both iPhone version and iPad version (after it went on sale) of Addictive Synth. I think it's an excellent synthesizer - one of my favorites. The new update fixed some previous issues with organizing presets. There is also a randomizer button similar to Magellan's "spawn" feature that will make a new preset, which you can then save. The presets I tried were mostly very warm and musical. It may not have the depth of presets "out of the box" compared to something like Sunrizer or Magellan, but the ability to make new ones is fully there. I thought the arpeggiator, in particular, sounded great. While I don't use in-app 4-track recorders often, Addictive's looper is very convenient to use, so you can do some simple layering of parts before exporting them as one track. Touch screen keyboards are always limiting, but I really liked the key/mode-specific option. Nice synth! Show more

The new patch manager is very convenient, thanks! And the synth itself remains one of the most fun and capable on the platform. I love it.

This update really makes this synth usable for playing live on stage as it makes patch changing on the fly so easy to do. Thanks for such a great update. I really like the other new options as well. Thanks for such a great synth... Really it is addictive! Show more

Finally, its usuable. Any presets one might have made/saved (?) will be found in the Other files.

An original and one of the first of my IOS synth purchases which I would like to say - still sounds really great. It's awesome developer has a few really great IOS products but this still gets high marks in my book. I am appreciative of the solid and highly programmable arpeggiator and the synth sounds are quite nice while the program in general is not a MEMORY HOG! So it plays great on my old iPad 2 and mini. I am thankful for VirSyn's solid design with all their apps but Addictive Synth is especially cool. Show more

This synth is up there with the likes of Reaktors Steam Pipe - enough said ? ; ) I foresee it being used in many future productions for Ethereal & Ambient music - and see no reason it can't be used in other genres ... I just feel that it is it's strong point ... Specs: iPad 4 128 wifi - iOS 6.1.3 Show more

Capable of producing the high quality sounds this 9.7" piece of glass mysteriously does so well, but my only significant gripes are: 1. Lack of midi learn function (should be standard on every synthesizer app from its inception), 2. inability to record a specified number of bars (regardless of your settings it will continue to record until you stop it) 3. Effects are barebones I would be grateful if you come around to modify these things. Thanks! Show more

This app is one of the ios originals and its still a great buy for those looking for an entryway to wavetable synthesis. The addition of IAA makes it even easier to add its goodness to any song, fantastic app with tons of sounds and the ability to randomize the wavetable with just one button is crazy cool. Show more

Just that. Lots of great sounds and possibilities especially with the sequencer for arpeggios cause that's where it shines.

Best sounding synth on iOS, lots of depth, rich and beautiful sounds, amazing real-time filter tweaking. Additive and FM synthesis. This is the one to get.

I like the features of this synth a lot. The sequencer is especially nice

VirSyn has a illustrious lineup of VST Synthesizers, they even make some of the internal synths for Cubase 7. Trimming down ideas found from their semi-modular TERA synthesizer they've created an impressive iPad app. The synth uses two visual filter waveforms which can be interacted with by drawing them. Two oscillators work similarly vertical lines representing frequencies. There are many OSC. choices and does vocal styled timbres as easily as 80s - modern synth sounds. Control features are very flexible with a modulation matrix that offers many capabilities. The Arp can double as a mini-sequencer, not to mention a 4 channel loop recorder. Finally, there are several effects such as chorus, reverb, modulation and EQ. The sound quality is excellent as are the programming features. Totally worth getting. Show more

I love iOS synths. I have animoog, Nlog, imini, grain science, alchemy, now nave. All much better synths. Sounds here are boring. Many controls hardly modify sounds. Presets all just a bunch of heavy reverb hollow sounds. Nothing about this synth entices me to use it. I wasted my money on this one. Be warned, save your pennies for elsewhere. Show more

I am having fun with this well thought out app. I keep reaching for it when I want a new sound. Thanks keep up the good - no - great work!

Wow! For the cheap affordable price this is very impressive synth! I find it can just about compete with many other pricey ones. There are almost infinite possibilities of new sounds as you experiment withe controls. The feature where you can tumble the dice to make new random wave and filters is great for if you dial up a patch you don't quite like you can turn it into something new! It has a great arpeggiator with many patterns and the basses and saws have a nice bite to them not tinny and toy-like sounding as some softsynths certainly are. I will quite likely be using this for live shows not just my home studio. Well worth the money thanks guys! And it sounds unlike a Roland, Korg, or Yamaha which is cool I have plenty of those!

I didn't expect a swift response from you guys to fix the virtual midi issues, but color me surprised and grateful! I'm so glad midi is now working. Thanks so much, guys! Show more

I have all the IOS synths worth having. I held off on this until audiobus was added and as a bonus it was half price the day the update came out. I have to say this is one of the best sounding and most versatile of them all. Love it worth every penny. Possibly my new favorite. Show more

It's very good to see this synth on board the audiobus and performing well as usual.

... Please add audiobus!
