Ivoxel App Reviews

What else is there to say? Without those features this app is a waste.

There is definitely something wrong with this app on iOS 10, on an iPhone 7 Plus. The first time you press a key it starts looping a clicking sound which sometimes builds in crescendo. No way to stop it; have to k*** the app. Completely unusable in its current state.

The interface is confusing which takes a lot of the fun out of it. Why does it open with built in samples? Who cares? I want to start of using my own voices. It should focus on vocoding, and leave it to other apps to record and sequence. I also agree with the other reviewer, the icon is hideous. Hire a good UI designer since this was obviously designed by an engineer/developer. I just bought Voice Synth which has a much better interface and more fun to use.

... and then never again. It's been this way since the beginning. I will not buy ANYTHING else from these guys because of this. I just wanna punch this app in it's s***** smiley face!

Fired it up and put it through it's paces and it performed flawlessly. Yes, placing voxels in the sequencer is a bit fiddly but hey, it's an IPOD ater all and with a bit of patience you can get a good feel for it. Add on effects are simply that, add ons which aren't really needed but add extra value and fun to this app. If you're hesitant about buying and have an IPOD Touch 4G then I assure you it does what it says on the tin. Glad i got it.

Great app! Please include audiobus support. I love the effects and depth of the manipulation of this app. The last step is audobus support. Websites list apps with audiobus support, so if that is added, downloads would definitely rise up. Please add, it makes actual music creation with this app tons and tons easier!!! One of my main DAWs on my ipad cant import files at all, so a audiobus would be very very appreciated!!!!

Just bought as it sounded interesting and might be useful with music. Total failure. Mostly just plays loud clicks. Controls sort of work and can load built-in samples, but playback does not work at all. Just clicks and a bit of background hiss and noise. Contacted support today 22 Nov, and will update based on response. Demo video at developer website shows it used to work, maybe OK on older hardware and iOS version. If so, need to identify what is and is not compatible!

This app sounds great and I and I am definitely glad I bought it. - Copy/paste working well for me. Some things I'm suggesting to improve: - It crashes on my ipad often (sequencer mode) - Recording works, but CAN YOU ADD A METRONOME? Hard to line things up with other apps when I have no way to play along with another tune or to a metronome. That's it! A little stability and metronome makes this a 5 star app all the way.

You're best hope of getting anything usable out of the built in IPad mic is literally sticking your face up to the bottom right corner of the iPad. The lack of a decent mic option on the iPhone renders this app unusable. The vendors site offers no viable solutions to this issue. Whatever they are doing in their video to make this work is a complete mystery. The fact that they have lame default words as the default demonstrates that they know that the majority of iPad users won't be able to utilize this for anything other than a silly toy. Avoid buying this unless the vendor gets off their backsides and put something on their site that demonstrates a viable mic option so this can be used in any kind of decent fashion on the iPad.

Been loving this a long time and had to say that even though there are numerous vids showing of "revolutionary ways of effecting sound by putting in the middle of Audiobus" I bought it for that purpose originally. I missed that nice pad stuttered by drum track sound that is somewhat easily accomplished and maybe a bit played but COOL NONETHELESS! This app is tight and has never let me down for that matter all their apps are top notch. So thanks for some great tools!

Add that and this easily goes to 5 stars,

Quite a high quality vocoder sound here..I love the editing capabilities, and the polyphony of this "software". It's amazing this VSM201 syled unit hands-down beats most outboard vocoders on the market today...such as the Electro-Harmonix V256...all for 12 dollars? All I can say is...cough--> technish, logisch, funktionell...prototypisch und speziell...midi-kontrolle vom computer...iVoxel to the Future--danke Herr Florian Schneider? LOL BTW I disagree with the other review about the icon...please don't change it...vibe! :)

Needs iPhone 5 screen size support!

So I'm on the couch/bus/plane/spaceship/time-machine or whatever and I want to ivoxel a loop or sample I've been working on in some other app and suddenly, doh, now I need iTunes, a computer, cable to connect them, blah blah blah. Maybe there's good reason why one cannot import from the pasteboard, I don't know. It's my own fault I didn't research thoroughly before purchasing. Anyways, I haven't used the app much (since I just purchased it) so don't take this as a full review. I just wanted to point out lack of pasteboard import. Otherwise the app seems alright. My first impression of the sequencer isn't all that great, but maybe it just takes some time getting used to.

No sound under iOS5. Otherwise, Works as described. As vocoders go this might be a good one for you, especially for the price. Akai support is nice but would also like to see Line 6 MIDI Mobilizer support so the keyboard can be played from any MIDI controller. Looking forward to more updates.

I've been waiting for this update before purchasing. Polyphony is very good. My rendition of the opening chords of Autobahn by Kraftwerk was sooooooooo much fun. Harry, from VirSyn, kept me up to date with the newest upgrades. Great vocoder! Great synth! Great voxels! :)

Great tool, but current release volume is too low to be of real use, and I can't figure out a way to fix it.

This app is quite entertaining, but it has issues with recording voxels and the sequencer. When I make a recording and try to put it in the sequencer to make a song, it somehow messes up or ignores the edits I made to the voxel. It would also be nice if the sequencer could make a voxel play faster if the time the voxel takes to play is shorter than the length of time I want it to be held in the sequencer. Thank you.

still experiencing some problems with audio in sounding clear. I'd like to be able to sing and not peak the pants off the patch. It seems to be way too hot or way to quiet and muffled whatever I do. Sidenote, I use alesis IO dock with an SM58 going into iVoxel. It would be cool as well if there were more options for just regular singing/ midi based auto harmonies replicating your clean voice. I would very much like to not have to use my tc helicon products one day if I can just have it all happen through the ipad

So far this is not worth 9.99 to me. I'm sure I don't speak for everyone but to me it sounds kinda cheap. Buy with caution.

Really cool but needs an update . But still so Kraftwerk encrusted I use it as a robot go to constantly and just wish it could sample and speak as a default .peace christo

I do not think it something I'm doing, but when recording internally to copy out to DAW, the recordings are far too quiet to be of any use. While recording through headphones it's loud and clear, sounds great, but then the .wav files are practically silent. Can't use this app this way, which is disappointing because otherwise it is amazing.

Crashes immediately now. Used to work!!! Fix it or give me my $$$ back!

I found 1 voxel to use and I had to edit it to get the word from the phrase. I couldn't get the sequencer part to play a sound. Worked ok when linked to meteor though so ok.

lowering my rating because im no longer happy with this app and its inability to be used as a simpke device for using in my recordings or videos , waste of my time and money , first of all the new version isnt as cool as the old one , but the old one doesnt actually record directly in the app , you have too download your recordings to a computer or another app then open it ! Just idiotic ! maybe the new version is better with that i dont know , but the new version has a much more limited keyboard abilities and im not happy with that at all !! the makers took a great keyboard design and messed it completly up trying too copy everybody elses current trendy designs . and i just realized i cant record using an irig adaptor to a recorder like i do on most apps , it just doesnt work on this one ! so as far as funtionality for using in songs or videos this app is useless and c*** for me ! all i can use it as is a live toy , and im annoyed with that ! Im glad I have the original version saved as I prefer it Personally as I like the wide range of keys to choose . What happened to the amount of keys you can have on the keyboard !? It used to be 3x as many keys , I cant find how to adjust that and I REALLY prefered the original amount of keys as compared to this new limited version . Other than that problem , which is big for me as i use a wide note range , The update is really nice !! If i find a keyboard adjustment ill raise my rating again. Thanks

I am surprised that I am the first to mention this, but iVoxel plays C major as if it were A major. Which, as you might imagine, if you are trying to play another instrument with the app, is quite frustrating. I guess that I'm the first to actually do this. Also, VirSyn's website only gives an error message when I try to register to post this issue to their forum. From the quality of the website, I'm not surprised. It looks like my nephew designed it. Still, it would be nice to get some help. For $11.99, I expected the app to play in the same key as my actual Korg. But I also assume that people know the difference between "its" and "it's," and that's rarely the case. My fault for wasting my money, I suppose.

I like that this great app finally has core midi good job devs. will be using this app a lot more.

I love this app and i use it live a lot - I really depend on the auto following feature that worked great until the latest update, now it's ruined could yo please fix that or how can a revert to the last version? The iphone version auto following is not working on the iphone.

Don't buy Don't buy Don't buy Don't buy Don't buy Don't buy Just p.of Sheet!!!! Unbelievable sheet! Impossible to understand how it's work! Absolutely s***** interface, s***** engine and whole s***** crap! I did recording and when you finished app was crash immediately! I can't to understand how, how developers decided about that? It's not for sale! It's for test only!

Ok so load the app, switch out, load up djay (.99 right now) get two funky loops in sync, switch back and bam.. live vocoding over your DJ set... NICE! I could actually get funkbox running at the same time with djay and ivoxel but funkbox would pause for a sec and go off beat..(iPod 4th gen) Very impressed with this app after having spent $16 on that OTHER vocoder app that never really worked right.. a neat bonus is that I can have it plugged into the sound system and still use the iPods built in mic. Great app guys not sure how I missed it when it launched but glad I found it.

I've got to say that i have always loved the sound quality of this app, but must give huge kudos to the developer for some very well thought out upgrades. Love the tracking feature, excellent instructions, and improved ease of use. A decade ago this level of functionality would have probably cost $500. It's hard to believe this is so inexpensive. You younger people don't know how good you've got it with the current technology.
