Thanks for the tip. A bargain.
You're welcome.
It is indeed a bargain.
I haven't seen people mention this synth for a few years. What's people's opinion on this one? Does it keep up with later released iOS synths?
How does it compare to ZMors Modular?
I bought it Friday and became engrossed in it all weekend. If you're curious about what it would be like to get into Eurorack style modular setups, I can't think of any better way short of the real thing to learn about it. It's a beautifully executed app, and highly educational. You get a rack, and a bunch of modules, to load into it and wire together. Each has a full explanation of what it does and some detail about how it can be used. It's fantastic for exploring.
Sound wise, I wouldn't say it particularly stands out. If you're expecting Model 15 richness, you may be disappointed. I base this on the presets (of which there are several) more than on my ability to concoct good sounding setups, which got better with time, but still is weak.
If you're at all interested in modular, and would like it to feel like a realistic "hardware" experience rather than something more abstract like zMors Modular, you will get far more than your money's worth out of it. Myself, I'm very pleased with the purchase.
My 2 cents, it doesn't go as far as Audulus or zMors, but it sounds fat and rich, ships with a nice list of classic sounds, and as @wim mentions above it's got educational material embedded that's quite good. Of the modular synth apps available, it's deep enough to keep you busy for a while, but also initially more accessible than some. Low cost/High quality gateway drug into the modular synthesis jones
Also there are these 2 tutorials from Tim at discchord
Also, given the discount on IAPs this is by far the best modular bargain out there - $4 all-in...
The only thing I wish was the keyboard would be anchored at the bottom of the screen. It's a pain to scroll up and down to get to it, or to try to work zoomed out all the way. I can put up with that though for all the fun I've had learning with it so far.
Here another tutorial from Jacques Mongrel
Personally I'm not getting too excited. I bought the full suite of IAP's years ago, when they promised "free module upgrades for life". After 2.5 years of no updates, I sort of gave up on them providing any updated modules.
The UI is fiddly, and the onscreen keyboard is useless. But it is a great gateway into modular synthesis for a dirt-cheap price. But, I wouldn't expect much more than what you're buying now.
That's a lot for only a few bucks IMO. No complaints here.
I'd love to see Pulse Code take a look at Troublemaker or Moog Model 15 to figure out a better way to connect patch cables. I always had great difficulty in connecting cables in Modular.
Probably the best cabling scheme of all the modulars including Model 15, Ripplemaker etc is KQ MiniSynth. Pulse Code Modular's cabling pissed me off for a long time until I slowed down, (Pulse Code stuff across the board has longer touches than I'm used to with other apps.). When I remember to adjust to the difference, it clicks
Yes, I got used to it after awhile. It also seems like I need to aim my finger a little above where I think I should. Zooming is easy and helps a lot, though.
Model 15's optional double-tap cable placing system is the best IMO.
The keyboard usually being out of reach is annoying. Also, it seems that with external midi input it doesn't handle notes properly if you don't let go of the previous note before hitting the next one. I have to mess with it more to verify that, but I did run into it with Midiflow Keyboard and StepPolyArp input last night.
Still ... lotsa fun and education there in a nice, inexpensive package.
