This is exactly the kind of synth app I’ll toy with for 10 minutes and never open again. So fiddly and not hearing anything usable for my music. But the semi-tone bend limitation is a serious dealbreaker. That’s why I’m grateful for these demos you and others do. What would we do without you guys?
It seems this must have been designed without considering pitch bend or MPE adequately at the design phase. It was a baffling omission. I still enjoy using this with non-MPE midi, if I don’t need large pitch bends, but it is a genuinely serious limitation.

@@GavinskisTutorials Integrity reigns supreme in these dark days where shills do everything in their power in order to convince us that they are not bought and paid for.
Thank you for taking such a good look at this. It's clearly an innovative physical modelling synth despite MPE drawbacks. However, for me it's not sufficiently distinctive from the other synths I have and use
This is one of the first synths I bought in a long while because the sound is so organic, pure and unique. It seemed perfect for generative usage. Like you say it is great for throwing midi at. I didn’t really see it as a playing synth so the deficiencies you point to are not really concerning me. And yes external LFOs and such will be good in building up a sound. Personally I would like to see the keyboard in stand alone have a latch function to run it as an ambient machine without have to run it in a host. But I’ve also enjoyed pairing it up with other ambient apps like Noises. I set it up and let it run!
You reminded me of another issue actually. Not only does the keyboard need a latch mode, it is currently not possible to play the keyboard while tweaking the synth! Try it, is it like that on your device too?
Wow thanks for the deep dive Gav, really great job on this one - don’t know much about Mass Spring networks. It looks like this might at least be a good introduction for beginners, appreciate BA doing what they do.
In the very rare case where viewers are still using Reason, (like I do), I feel like I must recommend Objekt because it's one of the most highly respected physical modelling synths.
I haven't tried many of the desktop offerings, but I love Plasmonic and also Kaivo. I think Atoms can sound very nice, but if you take out the modulation, the sound palette is pretty limited
I have mixed feelings about it, definitely. If MPE and pitchbend were fully implemented I would be very happy with it, as it is it is honestly somewhat hobbled, but I do like the sound.

About fiddliness, the touch zones for the preset browser are a bit of a nightmare, but the rest of it works very well, I think

Thank you for taking such a good look at this. It's clearly an innovative physical modelling synth despite MPE drawbacks. However, for me it's not sufficiently distinctive from the other synths I have and use
Thanks Roland, yes, a lot of time went into learning the subtleties of this and giving such a thorough review, I’m glad you appreciated it!
Definitely will be getting this. It will work well for my music. Thanks for the review. I stand behind my comment on Reddit. 🤘
Thx, Gav. This is very useful. Thanks for synthesizing (if I may use the term) all this info.
Great video on this one man. I bought it but I’m not really a fan of the sound but its still cool to learn more about it. Baby audio does great work
I do like the way that central graphic pings up the shapes
It's very cute
I watched this on patreon but algorithm algorithm algorithm, I really appreciate the honesty of your reviews Gav.
Thank you, brother, and I appreciate the support of you and the other Patrons, you help make that possible ❤️

I just love it. It is a time machine. Just lost few hours with it. And it will happen again soon.
Great haha!

Heard great things about it yes
Maybe it’s not the best sounding PM (at least for a desktop) but I love the features. Not perfect but I don’t think I know any perfect PM synth😅
I haven't tried many of the desktop offerings, but I love Plasmonic and also Kaivo. I think Atoms can sound very nice, but if you take out the modulation, the sound palette is pretty limited
@@GavinskisTutorials Kaivo is great
Thanks for the thorough and investigative look! Very informative!
Glad you enjoyed!
i think it looks better than it sounds. For me its dissapointment
I have mixed feelings about it, definitely. If MPE and pitchbend were fully implemented I would be very happy with it, as it is it is honestly somewhat hobbled, but I do like the sound.
