Scream Issues

I enjoy the app so far but there is an issue with scream button. every time I try to change a different preset, the screen button wigs out. I have to actually jiggle it inside the app in order to have it reset to “0.0”. It’s definitely a workflow killer if you want to try to navigate clearly through the presets. I wasn’t sure if it was a bug or a feature at first but after reviewing the videos and seeing that no one else seem to be running into this problem, something is off.

Quit Hunting for a Bass App!

Speechless! Great work and an excellent product! Thanks dudes! Worth every dime!

2022-04-16

i have screenshots. first time opening app it told me

that the neon nightmare 100+ sounds IAP was FREE.... let me repeat, FREE. so i clicked "check it out!" and then it pulled up an appstore purchase window for $0.99...... its only a dollar but thats not free... ? what an absolutely terrible way to give a first impression of an app, especially one held in such high esteem and even co created with haq attaq... im sure its a mistake? anyway i will email the devs with my screen shots and if they fix the issue by either removing the button that says "free" or (preferably but im not going to whine and beg) actually give me the IAP for free, then i will change my review. it was a bad first impression, i have spent literally months looking for a synth that i can make modern riddim style dubstep sounds with (infekt, AD, styn, the whole "Monsters" crew, or "The Riddim Project" ) and i finally decided to try this one (it was going to be this, shockwave phase destructor synth, or cyclops) and yeah, not a good first impression... maybe i should have went with cyclops because from what ive seen you can get some NASTY sounds with that synth.... well we will see i guess.

I can’t Favorite Presets on iPhone

The favorite feature doesn’t work on iPhone for some reason. Please fix.

Are you serious?

Wow is all I can say! I am a vocalist for an industrial doom metal band Kryo-Flesh.

And this app far exceeded my expectations!

After I figured out how to work the basic functions of it. I legit have the start of two concepts for two new songs within less than 15 minutes! I can’t recommend this app enough and I would go as far to say it is the best synth based app I have purchased by far for the sounds you can produce with it! Seriously a top of the line app! If you are thinking of buying this stop thinking and press buy immediately! 😎

Flexible

Just a blast to experiment with, fun, and flexible. If you like making cool dub bass sounds, and then some you should get this.

2021-10-30

Still won’t work in stand alone

No sound now as of newest update. I’m on iPad OS 15.1 It now works in AU, but won’t make any sound at all in stand alone. Love the app though and I’m sure it will get fixed soon.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD DAMAGED

App permanently clips. Is damaged. Downloaded three times.

2021-08-28

Amazing

Wow. Just WOW.

2021-08-01

Great music app

These guys do it right!

The Best iOS Bass Synth available period.

The specs on the synth are really impressive… But the proof is in the pudding , it sounds STELLAR! This is the best Bass Synth on the App Store hands down. The rhythm section is what drives most music , if you don’t have good bass and percussion you’ll miss the boat. For a measly 10 bucks you can have sick subsonic frequencies!

Unique Monophonic Synth

Thoughtfully designed monophonic synthesizer with unique waveforms and modulation options for crafting bass and effects you haven’t heard before.

2021-06-18

Yes please

This is what I wish cyclop had been

2021-04-08

Great interface

Love focus on usability and sounds great. Wish it was easier to add slight randomizations while editing custom patches. Seems like you can only randomize INIT or factory presets at the moment.

Needs arpeggiator

Please in a very NEAR future update, add an arpeggiator function. I created a Reese bass and would love to arp it to mimic the arp basslines found in music from Imperative Reaction! Thanks.

Not just for wobble bass

Add reverb to this and you get epic sweeps

2020-12-06

wobble creatures

Very useful. Peace Christo👽

Great synth, sick sounds

Great design with excellent presets. Nice to find a synth app thats not bombarded with a hundred options and crappy interface. The UI keeps it silmple with enough configuration under the hood. Look forward to updates and encourage you guys to continue working together. I loooooove the sounds and rate/shape config tool. That sold me.

2020-11-18

Wow the app I’ve been wanting for.

I’ve been wanting an app like this, and this is everything I wanted it to be. I feel like this is a Novation mininova (bass tones ) inspired but but it’s own way of doing its wubs. I feel that this is even better than Sonivox’s wobble. Thank you so much Jakob for making this idea coming to life.

2020-11-14

Wow!! My teacher Jakob Haq made an amazing Synth with one of the Best app developers!!

I wouldn’t know much about the “IPad world” with out Jakob Haq and his amazing videos!! Funny! Informative and all around good to watch and learn from! During the shutdown I grabbed Kai Aras SF-1 filter and really fell in love with it. Soon after my hunt for the “delay” and watching Jakob Haq’s video I bought the FD-1. So with out hesitation to support these amazing people BUY THIS synth!! You will be nothing but impressed! I can wait to see what is next! ..... by the way this is my ONLY review on the App Store.. Apple Pay these guys!!

It’s A Badman Thing

If you follow Jakob or Kai at all you KNEW this was was going to be HUGE! 1,000,000 Wobulator points to each of you! Congrats Jakob and Kai! “Now go and finger all of your stuff.” Especially this one!

2020-11-14

Way cool

Love it.

2020-11-13

Low down dirty fun.

A fine collaboration of two immensely creative minds.

Easy UI easy on the eyes. Wicked noises quickly manipulated to musical ideas.

Well done.

2020-11-12

An exciting collab. Best interface designer + best iOS producer influencer? Killer combo.

I only mention Kai’s UI skills on the title, but that is because they are OFF the charts.

The rest of his toolkit is almost if not equally glorious, plus we have to emphasize he was one of the first and few to give life to the MPE community on iOS, something much appreciated because a year ago NO ONE was offering MPE other than Kai and maybe ROLI with their terrible noise app (with great sounds).

There are a few things I wish I could request from Kai to add to a few of this plugins, particularly I wish KB-1 (and by extension all of his synths) offered support for accelerometer/gyroscopic velocity sensitivity just like apps such as iFretless by BlueMangoo do. I’d also love more control over the amount of keys present, such as being able to define exactly how many keys I’d like to present on screen, as opposed to selecting octaves. This would be a great addition for phone users, on iPad it is less relevant so I understand it is a niche utility that might not be worth adding given the cost it could take to implement.

That being said, Kai really has outdone himself over and over, his apps are really amongst the most glorious music tools available on iOS and i CANOT wait for MORE of them. Hopefully, this won’t be the last one which will include Haq, as he certainly holds a special part in all of our hearts (music community for iOS), and I am sure that he can probably bring MANY brilliant ideas to the table. Not that Kai ISN’T *PROBABLY* a fantastic musician himself... After all, have you seen what his studio looks like? The guy has more synths than walls really.

Cheers Kai, hopefully accelerometer velocity can make it’s way into your KB suite... <3 velocity KB by BlueMangoo exemplifies how amazing this tech can be, and given that it took me around a day to create something infinitely inferior yet somewhat workable by writing a script on Mozaic, I hope this one won’t be a request that requires much refactoring. At least KB-1 would definitely benefit from it, as it usually is the case for me that I end up wondering whether I should use IT or velocity KB simply because it lacks that accelerometer layer which is PARTICULARLY useful on iPads which lack 3D Touch (and I guess modern iPhone “PROs” lol).

Thank You Guys For The Work

I’m in a hurry at the moment but a quick review: This is the grit, grime, killing, destroyer synth I’ve personally been missing and by a couple of my favorite dudes!! I opened Agonizer up from inside AUM, Sending it data from Atom sequencer, while DrumComputer was on the kit and presto.....instant dirty gratification. For this I’m grateful. Great developer with Jakob, old school in this iOS games vision and synth sensibility’s and this is what we have. A fresh new synth that is super easy to dial up big, interesting sounds right out the gate. Highly recommended and big ups to you two for smashing it in a great way in a sea of generic synths and machines. Good work here.

2020-11-11

Well Done!

A completely different synth with great sound, presets and infinite possibilities! I have about 50 different synth and effects apps and this one is unique and well worth the money! A different approach, but the again I’m a sucker for great sound....

2020-11-11

Awesome job Kai and Jakob!

The app is great! I really love the UI and it’s ease of use.

I wouldn’t have gotten into music production at all of it wasn’t for Jakob Haq. I felt I wasn’t able to since I didn’t have space for a home studio or a laptop but I found Jakob’s channel 3 years ago and began to learn how to produce quality music on iOS. I’m happy to support him he continues to inspire me.

2020-11-11

The mono synth I didn’t know that I needed!

As a musician of over 45 years I didn’t think there would be another mono synth that I would need ever again. Boy was I wrong. This is a songwriters dream. I haven’t been this excited since the original iOS Alchemy synth (not the one currently in Garage band). Fun and easy to get great sounds and patterns from. Applause to Jakob and Kai!

2020-11-11

Brilliant

What happens when a creative musician collaborates with a very capable hacker - you get a brilliant instrument. I hope we get more from Kaihaq...

2020-11-11

Awesome synth

This is going to Blow them away, THANKS HAQ

Going to Love it. Buy it Now !!!!.
