Great update to a great app! I'm really liking SynthX and it's very immediate, playable, and sounds excellent aside from the afore mentioned crackles.
The update has fixed these, but not entirely. Let me explain with hot tip.
I would guess you're still getting crackles when bumping up the voice count to 6 voices, right? Me, too. Knock it back down to the default 5 voices or anything lower and you'll be back in business. This is a glitch in 4.3 on the iPad 2, possibly iPad 1... Perhaps someone could confirm.
Emailed the dev and he's on the case, but in my opinion it's really not his fault. Apple's own GarageBand has glitched-out on me in the same way once I started pushing it's limits, so Apple seems to have a bit of iOS house cleaning to do in the audio department, at least on the new hardware.
Yeah, I noticed the 6 voice thing last night. The update did help much as I think I was getting the crackle at two voices before on the og iPad.
Rather not have to think about how many fingers are touching the screen when I'm recording something so I'll just continue to enjoy making noise with this until.
iOS 4.3.1 didn't seem to help but it has been gobbling up my battery's juice at an alarming rate.
Yes, if you simply leave it a the default 5 voices or lower for now it will work a treat! Beautiful sounds...
FYI, SynthX uses the same oscillators the developer has been working on for years with his desktop software, and it's a completely different model than most of the other synths in the App Store...
Unfortunately, I'm still getting some crackle pop on occasion. Really enjoy this one though, it's like Barry Bonds Be-Bot.

Edit: forgot that this update lets you set max voices so in theory it's good to go.
