/EDIT: Ranted about this app on a previous post. Was able to fix the problem by updating my ipad to the latest IOS 8.4.1/ I play bass, and the Source Audio pedal sounds great right out of the box, however, Neuro took it to the next level and made the hardware much more versatile. The app could be more informative if you are unfamiliar with audio settings so theres a bit of a learning curve, but once you get a hang of it, you can make the pedal sound AWESOME and sit better with other effects in your chain. I maxed the "drive" eq and my Lunar Phaser sounds beefier and has a whole new character now. Library of presets and artists could be larger, but its a new app and its expected to keep growing. Kept in touch with their engineers and theyve been knowledgeable and helpful. I'd rate it as a 4.5 ___________________________________________ (old review) Just got a Lunar Phaser, and this app does not do justice to an otherwise great hardware. Its easy to play with the settings, but there are no instructions as of what menu does what. If you tweak the knobs on the pedal, the app does not replicate it. The worse thing is that once you are done with it and wish to back to the main menu, it wont let you acess it again. The thing becomes unclickable, thus you have to unistall and reinstall it again. Terrible UX.

I’ve been in the industry over 45 years. I have an engineering masters degree, but not from MIT. This app worked flawlessly the first time I used it with a Collider pedal, and the Windows desktop application also worked perfectly the fist time I used it. The pedal’s effects are top notch, the sound quality is excellent, and you can get a huge range of independent delay & reverb effects from this pedal. Highly recommended iOS app, desktop application, and pedal from Source Audio!

Source Audio put out a great product in the C4 Synth, so it’s a real shame the mobile app that is critically important for swapping out presets fails to load any of them. Since the app requires and internet connection even to access presets you have stored in your “library”, I was basically unable to edit the device, and this was an ongoing product. Yes, there is the desktop editor but that isn’t always an option once you install the pedal to a pedalboard. I was finally able to access some other presets I had burned to the pedal using a $3 MIDI app I had to separately purchase. I hate to think how many people bought this excellent pedal and never got to see what it can do because of these connectivity issues. Hopefully will be improved, but the other reviews across a long period of time do not leave me encouraged.
