User Reviews

Really cool sounding fun app but what other reviewers say is true - the sound is now distorted (I’m using IOS26) and works inconsistently in AUM. I just tried it in AUM and it played but couldn’t bring up the settings menu or change anything, and previously I recall there were other odd things that made it unusable in AUM. However I did find consistently if you load any other random app in AUM then open Orphion outside in standalone it works fully with no distortion on IOS26. I have also used it to control other midi apps in standalone without AUM. However I have never been able to connect to the “Orphion Universe” to download whatever is available there. So in standalone mode in conjunction with AUM it still is a cool usable app.

I have loved Orphion since its inception many years ago. It is one of my favorite instruments I’ve ever played. Sadly, it no longer works. It became problematic a few years ago where it would have cracking audio using audio over the connection port. Now with latest iPadOS updates, Orphion just stopped working. On occasion it will work for a bit after a full iPad reboot, but then falls apart. It also renders weird with UI elements out of place especially on iPad mini. Ive tried so many times to get in touch with the developer. Emails, Social, Forum posts but, it seems to be abandon-ware. This is my last resorts attempt to plead for an update to give this incredible instrument life again. Would be a dream to have it load up again and play in a host like Loopy Pro. In happy to beta test if its helpful! I’d want to help keep this alive in any way I can. May be with an update we could get the “special playing option” in there again.
