    Another excellent app from Wizdom.
    I've had this for a few days and it's a killer app. Being able to morph between sounds is very cool, and the other options (key, scale, range, etc) make it even cooler. Not to mention the great price! Get it and have fun! Show more

    Awesome App once again
    Jordan and the team from Wizdom music have done it again. This is a very cool app. Morph from one instrument to another just by sliding around the screen. The visuals are just as cool as the sounds. Love the built in effects too! I'll be jamming the night away! Show more

    No noise.
    I can't get any sound on this app...and the app support page is badly designed. Not very happy with my purchase...

    Good for what it advertises.
    Not the best considering what it could be. Before my review sullies your opinion, let me say this: for 2 bucks, buy it. Pretty great sounds, blending sounds cool, ETC. Now, for what it could be: You guys are wizdom music! Morphwiz, Samplewiz, Geosynth! It seems... Below you, to put out such a simple app. Don't get me wrong, I love it, but it seems like there's so much more you could do. Many of the sounds are similar, not much tweakability. The ideal thing would be to base it on an internal synth, and allow tweakage of that. You could create much more interesting blends that way! At the very least, please add different-er voices. ~Evan Show more

    Waste of money
    This app is so tacky. Hmm... Tachyon, tacky.... Seems fitting. All the instruments sound the same: cheesy electronic noise. I was hoping for a nice violin to accompany my real piano, but I got an electric accordion accompanying a child's toy keyboard. Very upsetting. Show more

    A good follow-up to MorphWiz
    This is more responsive than MorphWiz, and easier to tweak the sounds with. The internal audio engine is very nice. With only 10 instruments to choose from for the upper and lower instrument, it's kinda limited, but sometimes fewer options help get you past endless tweaking and on to playing. I like it, it's fun, I won't kick it off my iPad. Show more

    Fun to play, simple to learn
    This is a totally cool concept for a touch instrument. I love the fresh take on nested menu options. Nice work guys!

    Fun but Forgettable
    For 1.99 I have no complaints, but not up to par to other apps by Rudess and developers. The animations are cool, the sounds decent, and the idea is a solid one. You have some control over sounds and effects, and interface is friendly, but with other things and apps competing with my time I doubt I will use this much. I will change my review if I am wrong.

    Simple, musical, expressive, inexpensive.
    For $1.99, this is a great deal! Anyone can enjoy Tachyon, and it's a great introduction to Jordan's other apps. Very simple design, with just enough control to keep it fun, but not super-deep. For what it is, it's excellent. If it could one day control his incredible SampleWiz, this thing would get a fifth star from me. Recommended for anyone who enjoys well-made musical applications here.

    Fun
    This app is fun because you can do so much so easily.
  • Jaxziel, 27.07.2012
    Deluxe app
    As with all J. R's apps the sounds and gui are deluxe,very useful and fun to use. Played with this for hours last night and plugged into my machine mikro and ableton with outstanding results.i have all past apps from JR and they just get better. Thanks Wiz Kids. Show more

    Awesome
    Once again JR and his team deliver the goods. I like the morphing aspect, reminds me of MorphWiz! Great sounds!
  • fakehead, 26.07.2012
    Interesting concept
    But at the end of the day, I don't find the patches in and of themselves very interesting. A Far more intriguing feature would be loading in our own samples. Show more
  • Psyggie, 26.07.2012
    Very very cool
    A really neat treat! Will be messing with this a long time.. They will hate me at work ;)
  • Vlad Drakkul, 25.07.2012
    Amazing
    Awesome app put out by an amazing company. Tachyon allows for very expressive playing and morphing between sounds. Very easy to play. This was only two dollars but i wouldn't hesitate to pay more. Just buy it!! Show more

    Unbelievable
    This is one of coolest apps I've seen in a long time, playing with this is a blast,
  • Krusecom, 25.07.2012
    Additional features
    Please continue to make new sounds, and make the ability to import our own sounds from Samplewiz. Also make a button to lock the menu buttons so u don't accidentally hit them while playing. Importing sounds from Samplewiz would be great, great app. Show more
  • Mic Gee$, 25.07.2012
    Its not samplewiz
    What i mean by that is its nowhere in the same league imho. Its got a very linited sound pallette...but its 2 bucks! The animations are more trippy on samplewiz and morphwiz...lol The sounds are okay...nothing to write home about Hopefully more patches will come or this thing will fizzle quickly like morphwiz did. I read there was a utility coming for samplewiz...i thought this was it...it is not. Cant wait until samplewiz is updated, now thats an app! Show more

    Seriously...Just Buy It
    This is another fantastic app made the amazing Jordan Rudess who just keeps on giving. I am having a lot of fun with Tachyon. I'm not much of a pianist, but that does not mean I can't play this and that's whats so cool about all of Wizdom Music's apps - they are for everyone! The idea of being able to morph between sounds was a good one! Just buy this and every other app put out by this company and you will certainly be glad you did. Show more
