    Oh, a new topic would have been so great ;-)

    Right on, maybe I should have, wasn’t sure if it was new topic material or not so just defaulted to the original thread.

    Don't take it personal 😅

    I am always a promoter of new topics for a new App version!
    This makes any topic so much more useful - it is just horrible to scan a topic with 10, 20 pages for the relevant newer parts.

    Imagine a new user of an App .... he wants to read and write about the current version.

    I’m that user right now lol ..actually I’m considering getting this, Bleass Alpha , or Phase 84 … I thought Alpha was gonna be 100 % the way to go until I started reading this thread lol

    They are all different synths. BLEASS Alpha is a bread and butter VA synth that has ring modulation, sync, and FM (two of which Flowtones doesn't have). Flowtones is a sort of flagship virtual analog synth that has two layers inside and a myriad of awesome filter types and modulators. Phase 84 is a phase distortion synth in the vein of the Casio CZ synths.

    Here’s what I currently have:

    Omega, Synclavier, ivcs3, trooper, Zeeon, mood, Monolit, SampleWiz, Copperhead, OB-XD, poison 202, Ripplemaker, and VA Poly, plus all the AudioKit romplers.

    Using iPhone 13 Pro Max in GarageBand. I have $19 and change to play around with.

    I know Alpha will be stable and kinda know what to expect. It’s also the most expensive.

    If I get Flowtones I’ll have most left over. Out of the three, I ranked it third based solely on presets on YouTube videos. I generally make my own sounds though so that won’t be an issue.

    Phase 84 has the lowest rating but also just got an update recently. I like the way it looks as it makes me think of Mood, but out of the three , I’m the least familiar with the developer

    So all three have pros and cons ! In all honesty I’m starting to lean more between Flowtones vs Phase 84

    I think you have more than you need for making music. Flowtones seems like the least redundant option, but I suggest you should consider AddStation, Drambo, and/or Animoog Z,

    Agreed. With synths like Omega, Synclavier, ivcs3, trooper, Zeeon, mood, Monolit, SampleWiz, Copperhead, OB-XD, poison 202, Ripplemaker, VA Poly etc., I wouldn't even consider yet another virtual analog synth but rather something that does what the others don't.

    Yeah that’s why I kinda changed my mind on Alpha. Phase 84 is phase distortion which I don’t currently have an example of, and Flowtones seems pretty deep. I mostly make my own sounds and everything I have drastically sounds different, even if I try to make the same patch.

    If you like making your own sounds, Drambo should be your dream synth alchemy lab.

    I may look into it, once I watch a few videos on it. Didn’t realize you could use it as an au instrument. So, I gotta ask the two questions that’ll make my decisions once I can afford to get it (I have $19.27 currently)… 1) does it work well on an iPhone or should I wait til I get an iPad later this year, and 2) would it work inside GarageBand?

    Yes to both.
    I'm using it on an iPhone too. You'll see wider racks on an iPad but the controls are large enough to make it usable on the iPhone.
    Drambo needs some time to get used to but if you've been designing your own sounds then I suppose that you already know how a synth works 😊

    In that case , looks like I’ll be watching tutorials for a while today lol and will get it next month

    Getting Flowtones and Sunrizer today more than likely

    Some of the presets I've made for Flowtones in case you haven't seen them, they're for ambient and lo-fi:

    Oh man that’s freaking cool…

  • One thing I recently figured out about Flowtones: the default OSC level is -6 dB which is too high IMHO, the signal goes really hot into the filter so cranking up the resonance even to 100% doesn't scream as some other synths do. If you lower the OSC level to -12bB or even lower it leaves more headroom for the resonance. That realization made me love this synth even more :)

    You can also press on the lightning icon near the Q knob to make the resonance become more apparent.

    yes, but doing both is even better :)

  • I'm trying to leave a review on the App Store, but for some reason the review is not getting published. Also the star rating resets when I refresh the page. Weird.

    @DJB Here is an excerpt of what I wrote regarding possible improvements:

    I feel the envelope curves are in some cases too exponential.
    I tried to make a pad sound with a slow attack and in the mix the sound seemed out of time, like if it come in late.
    On the other hand, the decay curve is great for drum sounds. Flowtones is actually excellent as a drum synth!
    It would be great if we could have a menu, similar to the filter types menu, with various curves for attack decay and release.
    Oscillator sync would also be a nice addition.

  • Crazy the design look like Audiokit synth ??

    I’ve noticed it can take a few hours to publish a review sometimes. Has it showed up now?
