Brutal analog warmth. You won't find a better filter.

Thanks to advanced analog circuit modelling engine and meticulous attention to details, Dagger rivals the sound of the best desktop-class synthesizers.
Dagger's user interface is simple, fast and intuitive, but it's possibilites will surprise you. You cannot get more for the money.
Reviewers consistently praise Dagger Synth for its warm, analog-like sound and powerful filter options, delivering fat, growly basses and versatile timbres. The app is repeatedly noted as easy to use, with a satisfying patch randomizer and a solid set of presets. It’s especially lauded for bass, leads, and acid-style sounds and described as a high-quality BeepStreet synth that stands out on iOS. A few users report minor issues: background audio not always working, occasional OS compatibility glitches with AUM/Cubasis on newer iOS, and some UI readability or workflow quirks. Overall, enthusiasm is high.

I was fortunate. I came across my screenshot reminder of Dagger Synth. I looked it up in the App Store and it was on sale! 2/3 off. :-) So far only background audio play doesn’t work (Yes, I enabled in in Dagger Synth.). It would be nice if you could zoom the app or at least make the control labels darker and readable on an iPhone. Otherwise, I’m still exploring but very happy it doesn’t require AUM (or the like).
Having to step through all settings for a multiple position switch is uncomfortable forcing the musicians to make undesirable sounds! Seriously?

IOS 17.7 Doesn’t show up in either AUM or Cubasis. All my other Beepstreet apps do. Waste of money for me :(
Update:Works after rebooting my iPad so 5 stars 👍
