iPads at the Apple Store
Wow, these guys are out of their minds. Also, the GUI is a train wreck, I hope they don't get away with it, specially for that price. Just look at what Korg is doing for a lot less. This is so lame.
ReplyDeleteHoly moly, 2 years of GUI designing for that?!?
ReplyDeleteI hope the 25 years of synth sound design makes it sound better...
Oh, it doesn't make any sound?
Well what's the $30 for? Sending some MIDI commands when you push a button?
Get real...
Indeed... it appears to be a grid of sliders. Really?
ReplyDeleteWhat makes this so ridiculous is that Korg's iMS-20 is roughly as powerful as Arturia's virtual analog stuff to begin with.
ReplyDeleteWhy would I want to control an Arturia virtual instrument using my iPad when it should just be running on my iPad in the first place?
"Leveraging 2 years of experience in designing GUI for control surface and 25+ years of experience in designing synthesizers sounds..."
ReplyDeleteThis has to be some sort of joke. This is terrible.
I smell trademark violation.
ReplyDeleteThat shit is ugly....$30??
ReplyDeletewhen i saw the title for this app i was so psyched i nearly dropped my iphone right out of my hands...$30? okay this better be good...
ReplyDeletei then saw the screenshot of the god-awful UI and quickly figured out it was not a Moog product whatsoever...afterall, Moog d o e s develop one the most superfluous sound sculpting tools currently available on iOS...
what a disgrace this is to one of the originators of modern sound synthesis!
whoever rosner ROSNER is ought to change the name of their app to, 'a clusterfuck of sliders on a black and grey grid'
i know this appeals to a certain niche and it would certainly be a task to map this out with something like TouchOSC which c o u l d be worth the thirty bucks to some people... but 'Anonymous' is on point with the fact that Korg's iMS-20 iPad app KILLS this iPad app + PC configuration, even as if it climbs up to the same price point.
(diff anon here)
ReplyDeleteI agree this looks like garbage, but as nice as iMS-20 sounds, I suspect the synth engine behind the PC version has orders of magnitude more detailed.
Not all filters and oscillators are created equal (look at ACE!).
