This has quickly become one of my favorite synthesizers, not just on IOS but in general. Seriously, not even hardware matches what this can do. The fact that it’s usable on Mac makes it even better. The only sad part is that my desktop daw of choice (Bitwig) doesn’t support Audio Units. I’d genuinely pay $150 for a VST version. This synth is so good, I might even start using Logic more, just to use it on my Mac. Bravo to the dev, you deserve much more recognition.

Thanks Iceworks for such a brilliant synth. The amount of features packed into Nambu is mindblowing. The only thing I can think of to add is more nature sounds for the textures. I would like to ask you Iceworks to make a granular synth for your next project. Please consider this and thank you for making Nambu.

The presets are absolutely underwhelming, and I depend on presets to a) give me a large palette of unique sound options, and b) to learn from in trying to craft my own sounds. This set does neither. I’ve heard all these sounds before. Maybe this synth offers something unique, but you’d never know it from the factory presets ☹️ 🚨On top of that, DSP in AUM maxes out whenever a patch is changed, or even when particular parameters in a patch are switched. This is a problem and makes it practically unusable in AUM. Truly regret spending $20 on this app
