I also found it pretty awesome for basses

Just like Mr Magellan. Some of the basses in the video sound pretty sweet.
Here is my video for it

Thanks, Doug.
You're faster than ever!
I have almost every synth app, tomorrow's my birthday, I'm really tempted...

i slightly disagree.Can't speak for the Prophet 5 but i know some vintage synth with enough raw and rough power to blow every plugin out of the water without using any FX.It's like they really jump out of the speakers and directly into my face.3D sound
It might count for the cheaper ones though (a JX3P sounds quite static/boring without the lovely but noisy roland chorus).
And a lot of Chorus/reverb/delay doesn't mean Filter FM or Crossmod will get any better.It just"opens"the sound a bit.Imo.
Nice demo, Doug. I wasn't very interested in this one until hearing what you were doing with it. I'm still erring towards the view that this sonic territory is covered by several existing synths, so getting it would be more nostalgia than anything else (not that had one...)
I bought this developers other app Studio 1111 (i)ap and it crashes every time I use it. It was updated a week or so and it still crashes when you scroll thru the drum kits. Studio 1111 is a crap app.
Also the constant crashing didn't occur until I bought the (i)ap purchase. Which added a bunch of other kits, two of which cause the program to crash if you scroll past them in the list of kits. It's been reported but never fixed.
I have the Arturia Prophet V desktop version. Even without any FX turned on (and I mean FX that Arturia add like the chorus and reverb - the little blue buttons at the top), a great many of the patches for the Prophet V emulation sound very rich and luscious and deep - not bland. I cannot (yet) say the same for the Professor synth from the demos I've viewed.
This has been mentioned to Alex (the dev) over in the iPad Musician FB group and we've all had some friendly discussion about it over there.
The gist of his main observation that I think is relevant to the comments that it doesn't sound like a Prophet V (analog or Arturia's desktop emulation), was that Professor is "inspired by" the Prophet V - not identical to it.
I think it has a place in its own right as an iOS synth. But to compare it even with the Arturia version let alone an analog Prophet V in terms of equality isn't really doing any of them justice with respect to each other.
I'm sure Alex will improve things as time marches on - this is the first release after all. Let's see what happens :-)
However IMO (and in my experience) the Arturia desktop emulation is a different animal and very rich sounding and does a nice job of bringing the analog hardware into a software realm. Oh - and I can afford it :-) vs. a vintage Prophet V
Looking forward to the Arturia / Retronyms port of whatever's coming next - the VS we surmise.
Yeah I agree, Professor does not sound like a Prophet, the Arturia version is very good and kets hope the port will be as good. I'll tell you what I would like to see on iOS, some of Rob Papens synths, I've just got the Reason7 version of Predator and its a beast, over 4000 presets, very high quality of sounds, beautiful FX, I also have the VST's of Predator, Suboombass and Blue, most excellent synths indeed.
We could make quite a list eh Doug @thesoundtestroom ? ;-) CS-80, ARP2600, FM8, Mono/Poly - goes on and on. I think the Moog Modular would be a bit hard though. Taxes my core i7 desktop system sometimes and hard to fit on all at once ! :-D
The really great thing is we have such a wealth of really great music apps on iOS - in our "pocket" (well, hand...) Truly a rich time for mobile music making!
Very true words
I'm staying away because I've seen way too many stories like what @hacked_to_pieces said. It's not a particularly expensive app so if you liked the demo sounds, go ahead and make the leap, by all means. Retronyms makes some boneheaded choices, but they largely know how to program. I had CRUD/GRIT wish-listed for months, but eventually found other apps that had those types of sounds and better support/functionality.
Update now available in the AppStore to fix MIDI issue
