Nambu - AUv3 Plug-in Synth

Accidentally Aphex

as a novice in his stages of becoming intermediate, i decided to spend what i assumed would be a brief project crafting up some presets for my iceWorks collection. all of them were impressive while gorgeous in their own way... but let's just say i'm relieved that i saved what i understood to be King, Nambu, for last... rest assured: the hype is well-deserved. a massive stretch from their earlier synths; with Lagrange being the stepping stone. endless micro-customizations you could fiddle with for hours (and hours)... it felt like i began with a harmonious ambient dreamscape which somewhere delightfully shapeshifted into pure Breakbeat Hysteria. if you're seeking an underdog in the ranks of top-tier iOS synths, bow your head to Nambu.

Presets 💯 uninspiring, AUM DSP 📈

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
