Appmuse

One of my all time favorite music apps. The developers should update it annually at a minimum so it continues to work.

I enjoyed this app when it originally came out, but now it’s almost useless because the IAA and Audiobus compatibility doesn't work. Please fix!

This is one of my favorite music apps.. the only thing that could possibly make it better, would be midi.. I have 1 iPad dedicated to tachyon on my synthesizer stack.. incredible Show more

I love this app and it’s a fantastic unique instrument? There’s a problem with this app however, whenever I try to launch it with Audiobus 2, it doesn’t want to open Show more

Good app but needs MPE. I would explain more in depth but other reviews can already explain it exhaustively. Otherwise, MPE Midi seems sensible for more expression while playing on an device with force touch or an external device with such a capability. Especially when other apps made under the developer has MPE capability also. 4 stars - because while it still is a cool app released many moons ago, the app has had multiple updates and to survived the crossover to 64-bit - an omission like MPE seems odd.

And still use it.

it does not cost much but there are better apps at the same price and it no longer works in IOs 11

A simple but amazing instrument. I would suggest giving it a few more features, such as: 1. Reverb settings 2. Keyboard view 3. More sounds

Mr. Rudess is the wizard of music! While its not as customizable as the other amazing apps you offer, it gives control over notes in yet another intuitive and expressive way. The best commonality between all these apps are the ability to isolate keys and scales. Beautiful work gentlemen. I'll try to upload stuff at some point :D -B. Hasson Show more

I love this app but was frustrated without audiobus support and was afraid this app was being orphaned. I am so glad for the update. This is a wonderful sounding instrument with a really nice and intuitive interface. It's not as deep as other synths - but it's really easy to make great sounding synth leads with as well as cool sounding chords. Explore the half circles to customize. Pick a scale root and scale type- then have at it. Thanks Wizdom! Show more

On Ipad 2 - IOS 7, completely broken. It is not using the complete screen of the Ipad, only a portion of it, so it's impossible to play. Jordan, please tell your guys to fix this... Show more

Very, very easy to get great sounds out of this. Would like to see updates. Maybe to help support development offer in app purchases for the following : - Additional Instrument Packs - Ability to import SampleWiz sounds - Audiobus support Great product, please don't let it fade away. Show more

i keep my iPhone around for apps like this. this is first one I decided to rate, fwiw. - recording capability would be cool - some automation ability (or an arp) would be cool - configurable scales would be cool Show more

I bought this up because of the phenomenal morphwiz app that Jordan ruess(spelling?) endorsed, I assumed this one would be as musical and useful as that one. Wrong! One of the most crucial elements of music is controlling dynamics, which apps like kaossilator, morphwiz and bebot do brilliantly, but this one offers no such control. Just flat, robotic stale sounding tones which I could look past if they sounded good but the are downright cheese-tacular. Controlling dynamics, especially on a platform like the ipad, is the only way to make the sounds come to life in a musical way and they seriously missed the boat on that part, instead opting for some pretty star animations the for e shape of the instrument your playing. I mean they couldn't even row a digital mod wheel, or xy pad or something to control volume swells, nope it's all got to be "starry"... The sounds are cheesy and nothing beyond mere novelty status as an ipad toy. Moreover, as a gigging keyboardist looking to incorporate the ipad into my rig, I laughed when I saw the scale options, bebot and kaossilator and most other apps offer an assortment of chromatics, major scales, minors, modes, and often exotic scales that are usually completely customizable as arpeggios and so on. Five. Five scales offered. And what's more, they insult anyone who knows even a little about music theory by including the "major pentatonic" and "minor pentatonic" as two separate scales. Play the major pentatonic in the key of C, then play the minor in the key of A, only start on the note "C". You'll "see" what I mean(oooh a pun)... Jordan, I really expected more from a dude with your prestige on the keys, but its clear your cashing in on the oppurtunity, heck I'd probably do the same thing in your shoes....wait....no way!!! For shame....oh for shame... Two star because it looks nice and its functional as a toy...any serious musicians, save your hard earned money...or buy morphwiz ;) Show more

I am confused by this app, it changes the metaphor established in Morphwiz (and Bebot before that). Why have some apps where you play on the lines and some where you play between? I like the look of the interface much better than other Wisdom Music apps but I would like the ability to alter the transparency of the star field. It can get a little distracting at times. I love the way you play it, morphing between two sounds. But those sounds unfortunately are pretty lack luster and way to few to appeal to someone trying to make something unique and vivid. I hope the app grows. Show more

I have a lot of fun with this app. Very easy to use, with really good depth and customization. Basically, Morphwiz for people who just want to play with an easy synth app. It also works well on the iPhone, which Morphwiz doesn't. The controls work well on the smaller screen. The interface is completely amazing, too! Totally cool! Another great one, Mr Rudess! Show more

The simplicity is quite endearing, if somewhat limiting to more experienced programmers of synths. However when one just wants to start jamming with an expressive instrument, Tachyon should not be overlooked. What it may lack in visual color and deep programming, it more than makes up in fast, responsive playing and quick access to the most important of parameters. A fine balance is achieved for keeping the screen area fairly uncluttered to allow manipulations of said parameters while playing a passage pad or shredding a wicked solo. The sound qualities are fairly good if ever so slightly on the cheesy side; however the excellent delay and decent chorus help improve some of the lackluster. The morphing between two sounds keeps things interesting and being able to adjust the octave settings independently can provide wonderful feedback-like expression to one's playing. I also love the ability to switch between glide and hard notes in the midst of a solo run. Glide mode allows finger-wobble-vibrato...something I've dreamed of since my early days with synths. Real happy it is included here. A lot more could be commented on here, but I can't wait to get back to playing some more Tachyon. Huge bang for the buck. Show more

I love SampleWiz and GeoSynth, and I do like the polyphonic morphing abilities, but in a lot of ways the sounds remind me of MorphWiz in that they are decidedly unremarkable. New musicians may find the simplicity endearing, and it's priced reasonably. But my guess is that more experienced musicians looking to record or perform won't be reaching for this one after the newness wears off. Show more

I've had a great time playing around with this app. It's worth the money and the music is a lot of fun to play around with. This is the future of musical instruments. Show more

That's how a musical app should be - easy to use, very responsive (I don't feel any latency on my iPhone 4s), and expressive as hell (you can articulate every voice individually, which is a very unique feature even for a pro synth). Also, it's so cheap, so why not try it for yourself? Show more
