    It’s hard to say enough about this synth. I’m not going to repeat all that’s in the description but I believe it’s all accurate. In a way, it’s a testimony to how powerful a platform iOS has become because this Synth is immensely capable. Three true independent oscillations per layer (and they’re really synths of their own, not layers) with Omni stackable effects gives you extraordinary sound shaping possibilities. Ok, I said I wasn’t going to repeat the description and I just did. But I can’t imagine a hardware synth being able to do this so simply (I have a Moog One and this can produce sounds that easily rival it - and that synth cost me $8,000). I’m sure I just said something heretical but it, true. Buy this synth and save yourself a ton of money!

    My lasting impressions of this app are that of simplicity and ease of use combined with the ability to dig deep and form your own pleasantries or insanities, whichever you desire or something in between. If you are looking for something that requires only the touch of a few buttons for a quick sound that requires little or no parameter cracking, like a Yamaha or Casio off the shelf gadget + extras, then your only time consuming part of using the app is making a decision on which of the multitude of presets you are going to use. Otherwise you can shape and form parameters with all of the familiar names in a different looking interface to your heart’s content until you get it where you want it. That being said, the interface makes more sense on some levels than others, but it is nice to see a developer go beyond fake knobs and buttons in and toward something that leaves the old ways behind while maintaining the same sense of analog fatness (that could honestly be a litter fatter).
  • Presets seem limited in sound variety

    It’s great for oran-like sounds. But I couldn’t produce vastly different tones. Maybe it’s just me. Kauldron and Magellan are my fav synths from this dev. Highly recommend both.
  • Pretty good but cuts out

    Love this app, but it crashes. Sometimes when recording in GarageBand and sometimes when sharing songs from GarageBand. Tried a brand new IPad mini 5 with iOS 12.4 and it happened again when sharing a song.
  • Now I’m fan of this developer

    This thing sounds mind blowing, They can match with the moog model D app or even a real Analog Synth. Amazing!
  • Incredible Power

    I’ve been using this synth since it launched last year. I finally decided to leave a review after superb support from the developer in squashing a bug (They fixed it in a day!) This synth is so powerful, I love it! Just read the list of all the features. This is the only synth app I’ve found that allows me to quickly create the sounds I want. I think the UI is well designed and extremely easy to use. Trust me, if I can program this thing, anyone can. Combine an easy to use synth with incredible power, as well as top notch support, and you have a winning five star app!

    I keep finding further depth in Kaspar. It goes way beyond the vector synths I’ve used before in terms of flexibility and mod options, and of course it sounds NICE!
  • Not up to the hype

    Not impressed by this untidy and badly laid out synth. I was also not impressed by the sound
  • What a workhorse!

    I use this to practice with my band all the time
  • Keeps crashing in BeatMaker 3 as Auv3

    I love the sound in the KASPAR and Kauldron apps but they keep crashing ever time I load them as AUv3 and that’s where they are meant to work best? And KASPAR doesn’t even fit the screen correctly. What’s up with that? My iPad Pro 12.9 is up to date. And so are all of my apps. I think tonal need to give these apps some attention.
