Ioniarics

5 star rating is a no-brainer. Used it to process midi generated by Rozeta (anything these developers create is worth buying) and then connected FM Tines (Butterfly Pad preset) and iSymphonic to Ioniarics. Wow! So easy, so fast, so smooth! Efficient too, AUM DSP meter was single digits the whole time! Ran it all night and most of the next day. Basically all the iSymphonic presets I had time to sample sounded great (iSym AU usually needs at least a little Bleass Reverb to smooth out the starts and stops)! All the big ensemble orchestral sounds have found a long-playing generative music soul-mate with Ioniarics and it's all-powerful length-button. Kneel! I got nothing worthy to whine about with Ioniarics, besides, I'm not qualified to comment on anything to do with the musicality of the app. But I have been using various bits of software for a few decades and two suggestions come to mind. First, some sort of in app Help. Just a phrase per knob, and if your feeling windy, maybe an entire sentence, (but please don't bore us with more than two sentences 😉). An alternative would be a webpage we can convert to PDF document. Second, and I've no idea if this is worth the effort on iOS, but it would be really nice if the fonts and knobs enlarged when the AU window was dragged open wider and taller on the iPad (or iPhone too I suppose).

I fiddled with it yesterday and kind of liked it, but today really liked it. I bought it cause I like the developer’s other apps. I also read the word “West Coast” some where presumably referring to the Buchla uncertainty mode. It can do that thing Morton Subotnick did with percussive marimba like sounds. I tried it today with 2 AU instances in AUM with midi out into an analog synth tabla like patch and holy cow !

Very nice to see an arpeggiator or sequencer work in something other than 8ths & 16ths. I still need a little more “figuring-out” time with this one before I resort to trying to find a manual; exploration, the joy of discovery... GREAT app!

A bit of learning curve for sure. I made alot of user errors and thought it was too weird, then it clicked. Very advanced and unique graphic display that means something. Cheers and manuals to come eh?

No web site. Basically just goes to a picture. No documentation. No MIDI driven sound. No clue what some of the controls do. Basically a waste of money!
