Maybe There Is No Go-To Synth!

^ is very true of Cassini. Pretty much terrible presets.

And as for drum machines, my opinion of almost all the iOS drum apps is that they’re all anticipating we should make the drums the lead instrument, nay, the only instrument, in our compositions.

Totally agree. The interface ( especially Patterning) really encourages finicky overplaying. But What drums are for depends on who you ask. Ask somebody who grew up in the 70s or the 80s to pick out the beat of a song, and he will point to the drum track. Somebody who came of age in the 90s? They will have a very different idea of what a beat is. It's not just kick snare and hi hat, but what ever else goes into the rhythm track.

Course, I think we can all agree what the sound of a cat waking up is.

Just the mere fact that over the years there has been a staggering number of hardware, software & app synths made available demonstrates that there ain't no such thing.

I have to disagree strongly with Camus' logic here... but I hope we can agree on this one:

Some of the most recent synths

Mood
Layr
Synthscaper

Are so deep, especially synthscaper and Layr that it would take even a seasoned synth head awhile to figure them out- why? Because they are cutting edge and somehow do it different than hardware or desktop plugins

I reckon that we get excited about new synths and prematurely dump the others when we could spend more time and see just how deep they go

Once we do that, we would have quite a few choices for a go to synth

I mean really ... we are spoiled bastards, see how many synths we already have and for so cheap...

Then plugins from audio damage for less than the price of a coffee lol

Roll on nano studio 2, for many, it will be the goto app for many years to come just like it's original version

Is it there a Nano Studio 2?

Question about the iM1. Does that work in Gadget? Or does the Darwin work in Gadget only if you have the iM1?
Asking for a friend.

Yeah, you need to own iM1 in order to use it (known as "Darwin" in-app) within Gadget. There's a step to import it into Gadget, as I recall.

One issue with using it in Gadget is that it is somewhat stripped down within Gadget, as I recall. I believe you aren't able to do much sound editing within Gadget, or at least to the same extent as in the standalone app.

I always end up erasing what I am doing and get so frustrated.

I love the presets that come with it but I am unable to make my own .

Ironically, I can't make presets on an app.
