After using this app for several years, for me it's review time.
Great options:
- 2 lfo's (when osc3 used as one) both modulating into audiorange
- 3 gainstaging levels: mixer, ext.input and mastervolume coorporate in changing the soundcharacter
- 2 Adsd shapes
- a very comprehensive manual (!), please read it
- great sounding bender (=chorus) and delay effect
- touchscreen keyboard, the grey bar above it let you scroll through the octaves, that's a wonderful performance tool
- pitch bend range up to 96 (8 octaves !), just imagine what a pitch sweep sounds like when osc's are switched to LO mode.
Does it sound anything like a real minimoog? I think so, the osc's beat against each other in a nice analoge-like way, it's got that warm moogsound.
That said, no virtual analoge equals real analoge to my ears; the lowmid range always sound more controlled, and when in sustain phase, the high's sound a bit more static. In all, for me it's a more clean and controlled version of the real thing.
But man, can you get screamy and creamy sounds out of this beast!
When combined in AUM with Viking synth and Tal-uno-lx, I get monstruous bass sounds no real Minimoog can ever deliver...
2 less atractive points:
- rocker switches in the controller area are colored black: very hard to see witch of the 2modulations are active
- version 1.3.7 is supposed to improve cpu usage, ah well... on my OLD iPad (A7 +1gb) it doesn't at all haha.(still 61%)
So, in short: get this marvellous app.
