Is Shockwave broken in stand alone mode?
So i finally decided I should actually learn how to use some of my 60+ iOS synths and launched Shockwave for a play.
No sound, only an intermittent glitch when changing presets although the sequencer plays fine... so I guess it's just the keyboard that's broken? I've tried toggling all the keyboard options and re-booting iPad.
Not a biggy I guess as it works fine in AUM and CB3. Just wondered if anyone else can confirm?
Air3, 14.4

Working fine here. Air 2, 13.7
@FPC
I'm on 14.4.1 and Shockwave made no sounds when in standalone. I deleted it & reinstalled. Now it's working again.
Don't forget to backup any presets that you may have made before you reinstall.
Nice one, I'll reinstall. To my shame, I've barely touched this synth so I don't have worry about presets.
Pretty broken synth to begin with
😂
Great synth though. When I bought I thought this would be great as a hardware synth. Maybe its just the faders to gates etc. I guess it reminds me of a mixer. So I might think ok, there would actually be better real synths. Maybe not. I always thought it had a phazer as part of its makeup but its phase distortion. Still. Fac phazer is a good effect for it.
Sometimes theres no sound like described but in aum. When midi mapping all controllers ( but not shockwave ) There was a cross mapping in the shockwave aum channel. Maybe bug is there, if thats how you find bugs.
What’s your beef with it?
Shockwave is awesome. Working fine for me standalone and AU in iOs 13.7
It’s broken, I can’t play it with the sound going out or it crashing as an AU. Selecting a preset and the preset won’t play, it’s just quiet. That’s how I know it’s about to go down.
It’s also a pretty crappy synth with a Dimetapp look. It sounds pretty good, but it’s mostly broken
Interesting. It is stable for me, and I think it sounds excellent. Different strokes I guess.
I really like the sound of Shockwave but @oat_phipps , you make me laugh. You have taken on Monzo’s straight talking mantle here at ABF.
Sometimes I try to be nice and politically correct, and it just feels like I’m a phony lying to myself and everyone else. So enough of that.
It’s broken on both my iphone and ipad. It chrashes on launch in standalone mode and behaves wired as an AU.
The issues has been reported.
I have made a more detailed description some of you are interested.
Working well for me too. I love it for lead sounds, controlled with Velocity kb. It pairs very well with the same dev’s RE-1 delay.
Just tried to open stand alone and it froze with the purple logo on the screen and never opened up, maybe we should reach out to the developer Kai. I’m on iOS 14.4. I mostly use as an Au, but still.
Have you tried deleting and reinstalling? That solved the problem for the OP
Just curious, is Shockwave a stable synth now?
It has always been stable for me. As far as I can tell it has been stable for most people. The OP’s issues seem to have been resolved with a re-install. Have you had issues with it?
Just purchased and already enjoying it.
Thanks!
It took me a little while to get oriented, but once I did. I started appreciating that it sounds great and leads me in different directions than more familiar synths.
I've tried it once years ago and I found the oscillator section quite refreshing 😊
Standalone is completely broken. It plays as an AU but it’s a bit glitchy if I try to do anything but play presets, thank God I got it at $4.99 before it went back up in price. Deleting and reinstalling did not help
What hardware are you running on and what OS version?
I’m surprised it isn’t working for you. I have no problems in standalone or AU on an iPad gen 6 running iOS 16.7.c
iPhone 13 Pro Max , 17.1.1 .
I suggest contacting the developer and describing the issues.
iPad Pro iOS13 something or other.
The last time I tried it was probably 1or 2 years ago when I first bought it, and all it did was blow my eardrums out with the most intense and awful screaming glitchy sound and then remain unresponsive if I so much as nudged the reverb dial. Deleted immediately in disgust and forgotten about.
This thread getting bumped just prompted me to reinstall it and give it another go. No issues this time. Tested a range of presets and nudged a few dials. Happy to report no painful screaming or glitching sounds. Seems to be functioning fine now. 👍
You just described something I would like to have as a synth, haha!
😂👍
Will do so… I’ll do a screen grab recording too to make it easier to show him what’s up
I had to reinstall both Shockwave and Volt to get the preset selection working again, just stuck on init sound otherwise for me....
