User Reviews

I’ve been using PolyWave to make music for about a year now. I’ve used it a lot, and definitely found it useful. But, for the past few months, every time I try to open PolyWave in GarageBand, or open a song that used PolyWave, nothing that’s been recorded with PolyWave will play. It will even say “PolyWave is not installed in your device”. I didn’t buy the full package before, so I took upon myself to buy it $11.99 thinking it would fix the problem. Nope. I would really give this app a 5 star rating, but it doesn’t even work, and now I spent $11.99 on a broken tool. If it gets fixed, I will most definitely change my review. Don’t waste your time or money on this right now.

Most of the wavetable synths available to iPad users are very complex and take lots of dedicated time to learn and can take a long time to yield the results you were looking for. PolySynth takes a different approach. This is not to say users are stuck with another virtual analog synthesizer, far from it. The user can create their own wavetables by drawing themselves. There are several functions that can be connected. Most controls can be modulated through one of the two LFOs which can create interesting movement and timbral changes. The interface looks basic but is clever and many programming features can be accessed such as automation which has many functions that can be controlled. It is simple but effective and fun to work in. I like complexity in sound and PolySynth delivers.

Like any good music app, has presets that sound fantastic to get you off and running plus a lot of deeper features that you can exploit with a slightly involved learning curve. Get it! You won’t hate yourself for spending a few bucks on this one.
