SoundPrism Reviews

It keeps crashing, and sometimes will go silent.

by DJ Grillo

Every time I open SoundPrism and I play try to play some music it makes a loud *crack* noise like my speakers broke even though they didn't and then it is mute unless I swipe SoundPrism and try again. My divice is a iPhone 7+ please fix this.

I purchased the sound pack bundle and only 3 sounds are available?? This is frustrating beyond words

I’ve got an iphone 7 completely up to date and I love SoundPrism, but for some reason every time I play it my speakers pop like they’ve broken and it goes mute, sometimes it even messes up the sound on my phone in general unless I restart it. I know it’s SoundPrism not my speakers because it only happens in SoundPrism! I hope it will be fixed soon, I found out Sleeping At Last uses SoundPrism for some of his music and I wanted to give it a go! Such a great concept, just wish it didn’t bug... :(

Hoping that there will be an update to fix the constant crashes. If it happens, I will buy the bundle immediately.

Great sounds but it barely works since iOS 12.1.2. Multitouch crashes it almost immediately. Really too bad.

by Siriusvibes

This seems like a pretty nice app except for the fact that it crashes all the time while playing. It continues to run in the background but the screen disappears. Clicking on the background task states that it is “loading” the sounds again after which the display redraws. It will unfortunately crash again however. Not stable for use on iphone 8 plus ios 11.2.2

just wish i could test midi function to n trial version a bit.

Fun for a while. I'm sure the variations are endless, but I find it channelling me too much into a particular set of progressions and melodic activity and harmony. It's fun to sound like you've got four hands, but that texture gets old, too. Make no mistake; this is a fun application, and as ONE of your keyboard controllers, it gives you options not really possible on regular keyboards. I just wouldn't want this to be the only thing I was using for any kind of performance or session.

I wish it were easier to jump to other chord ranges, rather than stepping through one chord at a time. If there were some kind of master controller that would enable you to leap to any place in the entire range, without interrupting what you're doing, that would be most welcome.

good work! Just don't stop here!

SoundPrism just plays chords and lets you do amazing piano runs, but that's basically it. No built in arpeggios it anything that fancy. The built in sounds are nothing worth shouting about either.

SoundPrism should be used as a midi controller, so you can control a nice piano app. It has built in routing options for its own midi output, no need for Audiobus or AUM.

Buy this just for the excellent chords and runs. Then get something like Mozaic for arpeggios if want it to sound more natural.

I never understand why people are so prompt to criticize before truly giving these types of instruments a true chance. It is a musical instrument people and nothing else. So you need to appreciate it for what it is and stop looking for that App that's going to do it all for you.

As a composer and musician I'm very happy with it. I find it to be a much better interface and playing experience for creating melodies and tones. Combined with gadgets like the Korg MiniKP, you have a very innovative source for new sounds.

Yes it could use a few more sounds so it can attract a wider audience. l'd like more acoustic sounds myself, like a double bass, maybe a trumpet or sax, or even world sounds like a sitar, sarod, tampura, tablas, etc.

As a first iteration, this is a fantastic instrument with a very promising future. Its approach to music making is easy and fun to say the least. I don't like writing reviews about pretty anything, but I felt prompted to do so based on some of the negative feedback I saw on this artist's product.

I'd like to see more innovation being brought to this apple platform for years to come, and the only way to do that is by encouraging constructive criticism so these artists can continue pushing their projects and ideas to new fronts.

I'm a 20 year musician. Vocalist, guitar, keyboards, drums and bass. I've been in plenty of bands and I also record all my own solo stuff. Besides kaoss this is the best music app out there. I've tried 'em all, literally. Deleted almost every one after a bit. This one will stay. I could seriously hook this up to a PA or amp and use it as a droning synth loop in the background live with it's hold feature or just play the recordings. Though the pro has more to offer this is great for free and records fairly well no midi but fun on the pad anyways. Great for somebody that doesn't want straight piano or synth parts but ambience without being chaotic nonsense and hard to get exact repeats like most synth pad apps. I seriously may use this live at rehearsal since I can get great sounds out of it without fiddling with it in between singing and playing both guitar parts. Great app!

This is not only my favorite app on my iPhone and iPad, it's one of my top 3 apps overall. First and most obvious, the layout of notes and the mechanics of playing are genius. This lets me explore music in a really cool new way that actually even helps kickstart my creativity. Next, the UI is smart. Buttons stay out of your way for the most part. The included sounds are great, and now SoundPrism can even act as a MIDI controller, which is really really nice. Another thing that really impresses me is the support. Audanika lets you contact them in a lot of different ways (including from SoundPrism itself), and they give you good answers FAST. They've also put up a ridiculous amount of supplementary video and tutorial content online. I've never used a small app that gets this much support.

The only things I would improve are more instrument sounds, a way to use the horizontal note controls on the iPhone/iPod, and allowing more than three fingers to be used simultaneously. In general, if there were some way to have more controls while hiding some, SoundPrism would be just about perfect.

I bought your app on a whim, thinking it would be just another junk music app you can get for free. I didn't even look at the description. I expected to download it, try it once, and delete it. I downloaded it. I tried it. I was blown away. It is beautiful, ergonomic, simple, and the best casual music software available anywhere on any device that I have been able to find. It takes complete advantage of the iPad, and every time I use it, I am blown away. I either burst out laughing for pure joy at its amazing capabilities to create any progression that comes to mind, or I become immersed for hours, recording and transposing to other instruments the creative discoveries I make. Thank you so much for this beautiful and purely amazing app. My only suggestion would be the possible addition of layering on the recording process, for which you could create an editing app, and the addition of more tones, which I understand you are working on. Thank you so much!!

SoundPrism is great as a songwriting tool, and the synth pad sound is soft and gorgeous

by Joe Biden My Time

This is my favorite of all time apps. I use it all the time PLEASE keep supporting!! I'll pay anything!!

by Zen472

So far so good. I hope they keep adding and getting better.

by Telescope020

SERIOUSLY!!!! It is fantastic, but if you record, and something happens and you do not get the transport, you are f’ed, lost all you recorded. Just allow in app recordings!!!

by RL-horseman

For the person who pays attention to the details of the layout and the sounds, it could bring about a greater understanding of music theory!
