Appmuse

I had high hopes for this app as a “go to” wave table synthesizer but it is unusable in its current state. First, MPE simply doesn’t work with this app. Slide gesture doesn’t work at all and Press gesture is intermittent at best. Second, the interface of the synth itself is spotty. Menu selections require multiple taps until they register, within a very narrow range. Makes the process of using the app tedious and frustrating. Third, did not respond at all to MIDI CC from a basic controller in various tests. Vast potential is locked behind poorly implemented basics. Please fix as I need a wave table synth and this could be the One... just not in its current state. Show more

Crashes on launch on my iPad Pro. iOS 12.3.1

This is a really good synth! However, if their website goes down the synth will not load as long as your wifi is on...you need to put Airplane mode on... So much for connecting to the rest of your studio via wifi... The same thing goes for Synthmaster Player. Why they would have the synths crippled when they are unable to feed advertisements and news from their site to you is beyond me. VERY disappointing.... Show more

The sounds are seriously some of the best in iOS.

Every time I reopen my project I get an error message saying I have a missing AU ( which is not true ). I would then create a new SM1 track underneath the non working one, and drag down the midi notes in order to hear the track again. Of course I have to find and rebuild my sounds all over. My iPad 6 is already updated and also deleted the app then reinstalled it just to encounter the same issues. Please fix, thank you... Show more

Every few minutes I get stuck notes with external controllers, regardless of what I'm playing. Only in this app and no others so apparently not an issue with my MPE controller. Any presets I tweak and save or write myself from template won't load without the app crashing. This happens in standalone mode OR as an AUv3 plugin. Unfortunate. Show more

A wonderful synth. Brings hi quality wavetable synthesis to the iPad. But beware if u plan to only use it in Cubasis 2. On my 2017 10.5 iPad Pro, they can’t get along at all. Show more

This synth gets more use than anything else because it is great and a POWERHOUSE and thanks to the latest update it runs quite well on this iPad.

Grrrrrr

There are two oscillators, subs, a multitude of modulation options, filters, LFOs, routing options plus scala support and MIDI MPE. Works well as an AU. Being able to add your own wavetables is great for devices that support slide over. Slide over doesn’t work on iOS 12 on an iPad Mini 2 so there is no way to add custom wavetables. The app you try to drop files to will be darkened on an iPad Mini 2 rather than regular brightness for devices like the iPad Air 2 that support it. I contacted the developer through their website weeks ago and they still haven’t addressed the issue. I’m using version 1.1.1 on iOS 12 on both an iPad Air 2 and an iPad Mini 2. The version 1.0 of the SynthMaster One iOS manual has information and screenshots for the desktop version with instructions for wavetable import that do not work for the iOS version. When I try to import my presets with custom wavetables to another iOS device by opening them from the app’s iCloud folder or using AirDrop, the wavetables do not transfer into the app either. There is also no way to delete wavetables I’d added and their listed by the order I’ve added them rather than alphabetically without an option for sub folders. The developer could provide File apps import for better wavetable management. Show more
