NLogPoly Synth App Reviews

45 Customer Reviews:

I am a pro musician, composer, producer who owns real vintage Moogs and modern synths like Korg R3 and Radias. My AU plugin collection for Logic Pro and garage band has just been WOKE UP !!! I loved this on my iPhone and now I will use this synth in my music made with Logic Pro and in live performances. Much grattitude towards the developers for making such a beautiful fully programmable virtual synth that ANYONE can afford. Buy this for sure !

I just bought this app, and it downloaded in less than one minute... plus It opens increbibly fast. Im a beginner-beginner at playing the piano and I caught on to the keyboard set-up just like that. Im so excited to play around with all of the features I see it has. An incredible app at the least! Thank You :)

Good - just two gripes

Great - I just want a fullscreen mode and the ability to program more than 6 CC parameters!

wOw

top-dog of the synth APPs by far. The developer obviously understands APPLE,music,electronics,graphics.......rolf is a genius. Blown away by the sound through my BOSE speakers. Worth every penny.

So love this virtual synth! Been messing with audio programs like Pro Tools,Reason, Logic for 15 years and this little gem holds its weight against the big boys no problem! I love this thing! And for 12$!!! Buy this! Buy this now! Run Pandora in the background and play along with this "toy" and you will be lost in your room for hours! Uh oh! Wife wonders where I am! Gotta run!

I am an experienced audio professional that uses highend software synths. I recieved this as a gift and thought "Why not give it a whirl and see what it is made of". So, I downloaded the AudioUnit version and used it in a new composition I was writing in Ableton Live. This is a professional synth. It is worth five times the asking price. I will be using this synth of some time to come. Real professional software instruments are few and far between in the App store. This one will not disappoint anyone who spends $12 to get it.

Excellent!

I just cant get over how easy to use, and upgrade the patches and audio files this application has made it for synth idiots like me. Im a guitarist, not a keyboard/synth player....Damit Jim!! Even with my complete lack of skills with software synths and plug-ins, this old metal head can still get great sounds out of this application, with little or no effort. Man...I wish everything I bought from the App store worked as well as this app does!! Money well spent! Fear nothing about purchasing this musical application!!!!

I love this synth dont get me wrong, but Im having trouble recording the automation into a DAW (logic pro to be more specific) I just wish it wouldnt crash logic pro also when I run this application, UPDATE PLEASE!!

Not in sight on Logic X

It is not loading on Logic X. I’ve tried what the company has suggested with no luck. It works on Logic 9, but it’s not the app I’m using now.

Amazing sounds can come from this synth. for $12 it’s a good deal, as it also provides au/vst plugin when you purchase the app. The interface is smooth and easy to work with. It’s easy to explore and make complex sounds. I do have a few complaints/bugs that I want to say about this app, but it’s still an impressive synth and I recommend it. complaints/bugs: - I get the error sound a lot while playing Nlog with the computer keyboard. It usually happens after I save a patch or when I open other applications. Clicking the osc tab in Nlog fixes it sometimes without having to quit the app. - Nlog VST usually crashes when I try to save a sound patch. I don’t have this problem with the standalone app. - There should be that “roll the dice” feature for randomizing sounds as there aren’t many patches to choose from. - I don’t like how the whole sound bank system is setup. You can’t really organize or group your sounds. You can only save up to 96, which may be why I can’t come across any patches online. I don’t know how to share my patches unless I’m using VST. I think this was poorly implemented. I think it would make a huge difference if they come up with a different way to manage and view your sounds.

I love this app, i use it as my main midi synth. Any and everything you’d need to build your own custom synth tones (thoroughly, seriously.. its THOROUGH) and its packed with preloaded sounds. You can also boom custom tones between NLog POLY (mac) and Pro (iPad). Create Sounds on the go, come home and blast it through your rig. Just one issue, when I get into the groove/zone, when playing something you’d probably want to loop through my controller, it tends to crash just as you start to feel it. you know when you’re like f**k yeah and the delays add up just so. i really dont know how to explain it. it just cant handle the groove. maybe the overlapping delays are building to the point where its to much information to handle. It can be quite anti-climatic, heart breaking even. I am on and ancient macbook from like 2008, so this could be all me. Either way this is still THE BEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK ON THE SYNTH MARKET !!!

Awesome!

I can’t believe it’s only $12! Sounds pro. Love it!

I literally just bought this synth not more than 15 minutes ago and I’m already writing a review for how amazing of an app this is. If you are an electronic musician, you are beyond limiting yourselves by not buying this synth. For $12, I was expecting a dinky little toy with a couple of basic equalizer knobs and maybe, just MAYBE, if I was lucky, some reverb. What I received exceeded my wildest expectations…. Within these 15 minutes, I have already exported 3 different sound banks into my Logic Pro library. And that was just with a few clicks and drags of the mouse! This comes with a majority of built plug-ins that you would use to mix your sounds, including a Filter, ENV modulation, LFO rates, Effects and even a built-in compressor! As an electronic musician myself, I have spent nearly $1,000 on third-party synthesizers. And I must say, this $12.00 synthesizer is a VERY welcome addition to my library of synths. I will be creating countless sounds on this app to use in my tracks for years to come. This is an absolute MUST BUY!

Im not a musician or composer, but I am an electrical engineer, so I understand the theory of synths better than the average person even if I cant play one competently (Ive actually built a couple, way back when..). I was really impressed with this apps control over the waveforms and its depth of features. If you just want to make some very cool sounds, this app will do that right out of the starting gate. A person could spend hours tinkering with the waveform and envelope controls. A great value for about US$12.

You won’t say, “I wish I never bought this."

With the large number of preset sounds, the ability to tinker with any of these sounds to suit your fancy, you’ll be glad you bought it. I am.

Creator_Kurt · 10 years ago

I cannot believe the incredible sounds that came with this synth, especially for the price! You cannot beat the value of this purchase. Lush, full sounds, all for around $13. This has become one of my top go-to synths in making music. It works great with Ableton Live, in case you were concerned about using this as an AU/VST plugin.

Not bad until ElCapitan

Ran fine on my Mac Mini before El Capitan, now blows up immediately upon launch.

NickName86 · 10 years ago

Great! …that is until El Capitan...

Ran great prior to El Capitan. Top of the line synth. One of the best in class. FIX IT!!!

Was really nice

This was a really nice synth but is crashing on Yosemite. Would like to be able to use it again. Please fix.
