Purchased this on my iPad Air 2 with iOS 11 Launched it and it crashed Tried multiple times closing and relaunching but does not start up Also tried restarting the iPad closing all other apps etc but no luck Sent message to developer but so far no response I ll update rating and review after this issue is resolved     CRASHED on first launch does not start up PowerObject!

Bought a few IAP and the sounds are thick and sweet You can alter the sounds but not to the extent like in a proper synthesizer yeah but the sounds are amazing and you get tons of amazing sounds so much so that you need a favourite tab to revert back to the sounds you liked Developers please add that favourite bank                     Sounds good Voldrox

One thing needs AU support Thanx                     Blown away TommyT~

Nice app but as a registered pro user it took many attempts to download presets I paid for                 Great app mikeg1307

I purchased the historic synths pack and it s not working But they had great customer support and got to me asap The problem was fixed instantly I love this synth it is my favorite upgrade this synth to record with a metronome                     Purchased sounds not working But they fixed it thaactivator

Bought full Pro Version thought there would be some standard pick and fingered basses and better rhodes But wasn t the case Also would be good to get better than 20 ms tracking I think a couple of organs and strings are superb I use about 8 sounds out of it Thanls             Not Bad Blueswaite

If for free you want a small handful of super high quality highly performable patches and a bit of bloat this is your synth There are however better values out there even taking price point into consideration             Sounds good but seeks lucre Ronzlo

Easy to use powerful sounds using upgraded version it s really a great app so far Unlimited possibilities for unique sounds Never once crashed on me Looks like some great expansions for this app too undiscovered sounds here                     SynthMaster is great mister-megabyte

This had potential but so many crashes and re installations make it worthless     Waste of time theconceptofzero

Use it everyday                     Great app Jer Jer 1967

Well done KV331 thumbs up                     Update 1 1 5 Crashes on iPad 4 ELIMINATED FIXED MikeDee12959

Can t install this update due to change in the IOS minimum version 8 4 now As a result the store propose me to install the lastest compatible version Which is the previous one that crash I m now impossible to use this app Please remove the buggy version so i can reinstal the lastest working one Thanks     Change of iOS version make it inusable for me ebesse

I updated to the new IOS 10 on my iPad 4 Gen and now the app keeps crashing It won t stay open This was a dope app but it needs to be fixed asap     Crash CarlFree

Upgraded to 1 1 4 with iOS 10 and software hangs at opening screen     Won t start johnrmonett

It crashes terribly Now I can no longer finish my work and who knows how long before there s a fix for it     Crash crash crash on my iPad 4 Bknoyes

Update Dropped to 1 star app will not load crashes on startup Unusable iOS 9 Great product by itself until you want to connect midi IAA or Audiobus to some other app to record music There s too many audio glitches to be useable on an iPad 4 when recording a single track to a DAW Audiobus Even recording into Audioshare using IAA is glitchy Sending midi via IAA to the app doesn t work at all from my DAW MultitrackStudio for iPad CC channels in virtual midi don t work correctly a volume change from 127 to 97 will instead drop the volume all the way to 0 and my DAW uses 97 as default so this glitch renders the app pretty much useless for any real time recording since the app volume will drop to 0 at the start of every song Midi cc channel 1 modulation changes don t seem to work either via virtual midi haven t tried other cc channels but I assume they re ALL broken at this point In midi settings the only working midi input is to receive data from all channels and if you try to select a single channel it remains greyed out Worst experience I ve had on iOS and i feel like the expansion packs that I bought were a waste of money     Doesnt play well with others Guapolator

Crashes and won t open after latest update Before that it was a great synth app Please fix     crashes Atomic Tuning Fork

I bought all the sound libraries and none of them work After a month still no response from support     Cant load any sound librarys Thanku4playing

I ve never considered using the iPad for professional music uses Just never thought it would be able to compete with my various studio rigs software This app change the game for me Excellent sounds well thought out serious bang for the buck Because of this synth my eyes are open to a new world of iPad production Don t hesitate well worth the few dollars and many more                     Ridiculously great daveBcrazy!!

As indicated in other reviews the sound quality and functionality of the UI is fantastic This app is a great value as are the IAPs In addition Support is extremely helpful and responsive I had an issue with the Factory Pro upgrade I thought I had purchased it I had not user error but a quick note to Support had it straightened out in hours That s rare these days and to be commended                     Excellent app value superb Support mechascorpio

The app was great and but now I can t even open it it just crashes all the time now using iPhone 6 and updated     Crash issue ALL CAPS RAGE123

SynthMaster has the best sounding synth sounds on iOS The synth sounds are loud full and sonic The audio is great I love SynthMaster I highly highly recommend SynthMaster The in app synth sound purchases are fantastic Classic synth sounds to the modern synth sounds and more can be purchased All these synth sounds are sensational Again I highly recommend SynthMaster                     Outstanding Outstanding Outstanding DrRock08

Love the sounds Would be much more useful if it supported AU on iOS             Sounds Great AU needed realdawei

At first I was worried that they may have had to dumb down the VST version to make it work on iOS but the developer has told me this IS the same audio engine as the VST Meaning one of my favorite synths has come to the iPad It even syncs the tempo to a host DAW app and shows you the position of the playhead making IAA and audiobus easier to work with I cant say i care for the interface but what matters is the sound and the sound quality is why I give it 5 stars UPDATE The new GUI looks great                     No Brainer 5 5 Wxlf89

This synth speaks for itself Not even a minute in I was amazed at the super clean sound look and feel to the app Makes a super fun companion for my DM 1 app However the second minute in after using every possible menu it was clear that this synth player does not give you control over anything besides a few effects that honestly don t even need to be tweaked anyway The patches are already super in tune and top notch but I d at least like to make a patch of my own It s okay to sell packs but for sound nerds like me please add unlock full synth to your in app purchases I d gladly pay for it Thanks                 Amazing Synthesizer now let us dig in PIEFROMHEAVEN

This is an amazing piece of software the value far exceeds the cost I wish they would make it so you can drag and drop presets into different pads This software is so close to being a virtual mpc                     Great App MrSweetC123

This comes with awesome presets that for me suggest riffs and motifs that are the staple of music jams and make time disappear as the timbres evolve in meaningful and surprisingly delightful ways The basic set plus the Pro Upgrade of 800 more patches really stands out as tones from all eras before the 60s and bands and experts from each iconic new realm since leave me happy I like to change presets sometimes but these are already so good just the effects and dual layer x y modulation pads are enough for realtime access It is as natural as reaching out and turning a knob with your eyes closed making it realtime playing I ve been a synth player since the piano wouldn t fit in the car and got a Moog Now that many of these are on an iOS for 1 100 or 1 1000th the cost it s unreal All of the other expansions offer something so it s hard to imagine running out of patches The synth models are not exposed however so not for a Korg OASYS player necessarily Still very fine for me                     Greatest Presets and modulation jctMUSE

Still all the same major functionality issues as before on iPad Air 2 original review below There s a great sound engine here but the devs have several core issues to fix before it s viable for live performance or even studio use But hey they sure were snappy in fixing the part where I couldn t give them more DLC money for their unusably unstable synth MASSIVE LIZ LEMON EYE ROLL original review Sounds great when it works This is a great sounding synth engine in a strategically limited preset focused wrapper You can t even edit ADSR for instance But that is a minor issue compared to the fact that this thing has been wildly buggy since the start for me on an iPad Air 2 And it eats 50 of my CPU while it fails Even when it works well this app is an absurd resource hog Keys stick dropouts are crazy frequent the keyboard freezes and won t slide up or down to desired octaves patches randomly unload themselves I kill the app restart and play for a few more minutes until it goes wonky again Skip this version check back later if when they work this all out         UPDATE new version still broken jzipps

I ve been a piano organ synth player for over 40 years playing club concert and studio gigs Needless to say I ve watched the IOS synth and DAW apps very closely the past few years This app s sound quality is on par with the best of my desktop VST s and intrigued me enough to pop for all the expansion packs I havent had one hiccup using it with Cubasis or Auria I m both an iPad 4 and iPad Pro Highly recommend                     Excellent cloud700

I just enjoy using this app in my production work Great sounds It s on point                     On Point Gum Guru

Very easy to use the sounds are top notch Customer support is excellent Presets are numerous in this one One of my top ios synths for sure Why all the negative reviews This synth is really a great synth                     Really great synth Hydra vein

Feb 16 update Link addition is awesome thank you Audiobus Auria crash is also gone I m super happy if anyone has issues after updating I had to do a full iPad reboot after updating as it was freezing in audiobus but after reboot all was great Haven t tried midi BT yet but excited it is an option I m still experiencing the note cut off though if you take any patch and play a half step up or down from any sharp key it will sometimes work fine or aggravatingly not play at all Below is original review many problems have been fixed with great updates Love this player and would also love to see a fully programmable version The newest update worked out all the kinks I noticed but for some reason now my sounds get cut off randomly on iPad pro only program running with plenty of voices allocated etc To clarify this even occurs while going from single note to single note as well as chords previously I could play numerous notes with zero issues now it cuts off on all the patches either if I introduce a new note or even when I don t and am just holding a single note down it just suddenly stops after a few seconds It seems to occur the most with half step note changes where the note won t even play I ve tried it with all the various patches factory or expansions this is so horribly annoying as we can t play even the simplest of things without random notes not playing or getting cut off please please pleasefix this worked perfectly fine before update I used to play this gorgeous synth everyday and now avoid it because it is so frustrating help Update Also just noticed that it is continuously crashing in audiobus ported to Auria On iOS 9 2 1 iPad Pro also had this issue under the previous iOS 9 2     Update causing issues Yvtjft

I m not usually a preset kinda guy I started out on real analog synthesizers and the very word preset usually makes me cringe But the presets available on this app are so well designed they are a real pleasure to play around with In particular there is a sound designer who has created several sound packs you can buy in In App Purchases yeah I know another cringe usually who has painstakingly attempted to recreate the synth sounds on many classic records Of course it s not going to be perfect But it is shockingly close at times The art rock classics achieves some vocoder and organ sounds that I sometimes prefer to other apps like SampleTank that feature actual samples of those instruments In the synth legends packs he has done an amazing job modeling classic sounds from Tomita Wendy Carlos Vangelis and more You don t have to look at the name of the preset you can scroll through and just start playing and instantly recognize what song it s from Pretty fun and inspiring Of course the major drawback is that it is only a preset player You can t edit the sounds at all besides the effects And I sure would like to Especially sometimes to see exactly how he made them But also because the filters and oscillators on this thing sound pretty fantastic I would like to design my own sounds on it too Bummer that you can t                     Great presets boldstandard

Bought two months ago Still doesn t work A shame     Sad Tyrrheniany.

This app is free so I don t understand the hate maybe the paid version has some bugs in it but for what you get here this is an OUTSTANDING app Hands down it s my favorite of all my synthesizer apps the best part for me is this app will run in the background continuously while I play other apps on top of it This is the only synth app I have that can do this I might be missing out on something but I really appreciate it I m pretty sure I will buy the full version and sound banks Thanks to the developer for making this for us                     Great app Armweak13
