    First the negative…I’m not really a fan of the presets. The positive: everything else. It’s easy to make your own patches that sound great thanks to the typically awesome BLEASS UI . Everything they’ve made before and after Alpha has held true to that. Everything is simple to use, but the level of depth is amazing. You need this synth….

    At 47 years old I finally decided to seriously start making my own music. I took classes, been spending time learning and practicing. Watching a lot of videos on YouTube by pros and one of them mentioned this synth. Did some research and took the plunge and I’m blown away. It’s so easy yet so complex. I crafted my own sound and already used it in a project hours after buying it. Playing directly into Garageband is so seamless and perfect I can’t possibly give this enough stars. Keep doing what you’re doing devs - this is nothing short of spectacular and has inspired me to keep experimenting with new sounds. I’m in awe of what you’ve created!

  • Basic sounds…

    They are decent noises, and tons of them, but most are rather uninspiring. There are a few gems that have space in my faves so definitely keeping the fully loaded app in the mix. Speaking of mix, while most of the sounds by themselves are perhaps a bit lackluster, they leave a lot of room in the audio spectrum for other tracks, and sometimes this app offers just the perfect patch that fits nicely in the mix.

    Really wanted to treat me to a yet another synth to wrap up 2020. Spent a couple hours comparing it to other synths by watching countless YouTube reviews. Since I already own at least a dozen of known popular iOS synths, I didn’t want to end up with one just like everything else but with a different UI. Anyways, I was torn between a couple other synths and boy was I happy with my Bleass choice! It’s my first Bleass app so I was a bit apprehensive at first but this synth is a treat to any sound geek. An hour an a half just flew by like 5 minutes just by playing and manipulating presets. I’m not new to iOS synths but this little beast is a real treat! So easy to navigate and make adjustments. The sound was surprisingly rich and super versatile. You can get a glimpse of what you can do with it just by looking at included presets. You don’t really need to get the extra IAP presets to begin to appreciate its potential. The UI is very eye pleasing too. Very impressed!

    Every aspect of this powerful synth can be modulated externally and internally. What does that mean? You can do a lot of cool and weird stuff with it you’ve never heard before and make a variety of nice synth sounds. Works pretty well on all iPads as well, iPad Pro is not necessary, all of Bleass apps have very efficient programming and are friendly on your CPU usage.

  • Okay synth

    I like the easy work flow just need a few more envelopes that independent A.D.S.R. The glide could be better, The voice count ploy voice could be a bit clearer, maybe it’s me on that part . Oh be part it would be cool to modulate the cutoff with the envelope.

  • Don’t hesitate on this one, just buy it. Seriously.

    Can y’all have a meeting with all the other iOS synth developers and let them know how important it is to have a CPU friendly smooth running app? The best sounds in the world don’t mean much if it’s crackling and crashing every other time.

  • Bleass Alpha. A. Delight.

    Turning seventy was made a lot easier with Bleass Alpha installed. This thing is deep and it makes me laugh too. Bleass Alpha is a delight. It makes great sounds which is so important in today’s cluttered up world of soft synths and it is a joy to use. It took to Bitwig like a duck. Very reasonably priced. Which makes it a real deal.

  • Great Synth!

    This synth covers all the bases. From sounds to modulation. It is a fun synth to play,! I’m stuck in the hospital and it has been a good distraction. Keep up the great work! Sincerely, Ken Pepperman
