Will use other performance apps more
***Update***
Adding audiobus and the UI improvements make this app a bit better. But controller style features for MIDI and a global way to turn off the unnecessary and distracting visuals are still needed for me to find this app useful.
***orig. reveiw***
I purchased morphwiz because it was highly acclaimed and seemed flexible but it turns out that it may be more flash than substance. I feel like I will spend so much time turning OFF the unnecessary and frankly ugly graphics that I will get less done than I will with some other options. (Seriously how many clowns did you guys hire to barf on my iPad?) And yes, It matters. I find these graphics uninspiring to the point of distraction. The sound is interesting but so many of the presets lack subtlety. That has made it hard to quickly determine what this thing can do "for real". The included presets seem to more for wow factor that for performance. Of course I could take the time to discover the power of the synth for myself but I would like to have more to go on before making that commitment. Here is a big sticking point, no audiobus yet. I thought perhaps the developers just havent gotten around to it... So I checked the update history... Oops. No updates for how long now? O.K. I am beginning to see the picture.
IF you ever update this app please kindly consider these suggestions. 1. Audiobus. 2. Themes that can be globally applied including one or two that are very basic and focus on the task of making music. 3. A few more presets that show of the musical capabilities of a performance oriented synth like this.
I may grow to like or even love this app but it will be an uphill slog.
