Just WOW!. I would have never believed you could do better than the original Magellan. I was wrong. This, is, awesome!

Modulation matrix and filter zipper problems. When modulating the filter frequency with aftertouch using the modulation matrix and setting the modulation amount to 100, the filter does not open fully, only a little bit. There is zipper noise in the filter when modulating it with breath control (cc 02).

Not MPE. Mod wheel can’t handle mpe. Waste of money! Yet again

TAKE MY MONEY. Don’t even hesitate on this app

Solid sounds, tape machine. You'll like it. Things sound sophisticated, not what you expect from an app.

NOICE!!! Love all Yonac Apps and this one is immediately a favorite... only thing is.... It’s not showing up as AU v3 or inter-app or anything... also bluetooth headphones are disconnected as soon as I switch to Aum, Garage Band, or Cubasis... not sure if it’s a bug for everyone or a setting on my iPad glitching out... either way figured I’d share... Also, both preset packs available as in-app purchases are great. Really loving the sequencer-arp feature as well.... plan on exploring mpe preset pack as well. Thanks for all the great releases. Any chance we can get a throwback of Thereminator??? Loved that app.... not sure why you discontinued it but would love to see it again if possible. Thanks!!!

Not as good as the original. I had both Magellan 1 and 2. Magellan 1 was by far better. But it stopped working and crashed. So I deleted it hoping to reinstall, too late. They took it off the market. So now I’m stuck waiting to see if it will be opened to me here in America. If not where’s my refund with all the add on’s And as an add on review I was told Yonac will not refund my money and that it’s Apple’s responsibility. But any first year Law Student will tell you Yonac is wrong it is indeed their responsibility and their’s alone.

I stopped writing reviews but this is amazing. I’ve had the first version since day one, I can’t believe so much time has passed, that said, the MPE implementation is better than Roli! Thank you for continued development of a great offering!

Bug. Restoring purchases leaves me with 700 plus preset banks on iOS 15.1

Even BETTER than I anticipated!!. I would give Magellan 2 five stars even if it were identical AUv3-supported version of original Magellan synth. I was sure it’s coming because, well how could it not have been, it’s Yonac’s best synth! So I was 100% sure they were working on converting it to AU but I must admit I did not anticipate *this*... I wrote a 5-star review for the original version too for it’s great sound quality and beautifully designed UI. What they’ve done here was, they went back to the drawing board and redesigned it to look great as an AU instance. Most synth look much better in standalone than AU version (inside AUM or Cubasis etc) so I usually design sounds in standalone and only do minor adjustments in AU mode. This one looks awesome. Large enough controls, smooth scrolling, just really pleasant to use in AU as well as standalone mode! The scrollable top navigation bar with ability to jump to specific sections is brilliant. (I actually suggested this in my review for TeraSynth some time ago, but I don’t want to brag ;) also a must-have synth btw. There’s really no adequate review on YouTube at the moment illustrating it’s true capabilities, it keeps surprising me!) The range of sound Magellan 2 covers is broad enough + amazing UI - so I would highly recommend this synth to anyone because really, who could ask for anything more? ;) Oh, and it’s pretty efficient as AU, which is a big thing on iPad, because the more things you can run simultaneously the more fun you’re going to have! Another great app from Yonac is Kauldron. Also pretty efficient, got good sound range, and excellent UI. I used it in several of my tracks. Now that Magellan got AUv3, I’m gonna use it a lot more often too!

Decent. The app is decent. It has some great sounds, but most presets are not doing the synth justice. Hope the developer offers some more in future updates - would love to see sounds that can be used straight away in music production. An interesting sound does not always sound interesting in a song.

Crashing like crazy. It’s been crashing like crazy in beat maker 3 and it wont save my work. Please fix that.

Great MPE Synth for iPad!. I have quite a few Yonac synths. Started with Kauldron and most recently discovered the original Magellan. Such beautiful sound came from that old synth, but I wished it was auv3. And ever since getting a Linnstrument, I’ve been wishing for more great MPE-compatible synths. Well, this synth does not disappoint. Lush sounds. Excellent and diverse patches. This one is fun to play!

Great Synth. There really is so much here for the price: lots of sounds, effects, a powerful ARP generator, a sequencer, and more. Recommended.

Missing Presets. What happened to the 300+ fantastic legacy presets that were present the first time I opened Magellan 2?? They’re gone, and re-booting my iPad didn’t bring them back!

Finallllly. Such a flexible useable tweak able synth yeeeahhhh now Auv3 woooo

I adore Yonac apps- Game changers. I will say sometimes I get bummed that Yonac releases sequels instead upgrading current apps (but the apps are never over priced and they NEVER pull the subscription model). They are smart and have been in the iOS game since early days. Their apps have always been easy enough for beginners, deep enough for power users, and truly make use of iOS real estate. Bluetooth audio works intermittent for me but not a deal breaker because most of the time I am hard wired but it works sometimes and sometimes it doesn’t. Still a killer app. 🤯😀🤯👍🏽

Great app, but..... This appears to be a great new synth app except for the surprise the second time I used it. It starts with 366 presets, but eliminates 261 of them the next time you use it, so plan on the additional $6 IAP, especially when you have no idea which of the deleted presets are on which IAP. Please disregard the above as I opened the app again to find all of the presets were now working again. Obviously some user error here. I then purchased an IAP and received an additional 64 presets for a current total of 430 presets. Rating is now 5 stars. Good job, Yonac.

Bluetooth A2DP not working stand alone, only in AUM. My Jlab Bluetooth earbuds don’t work with this synth. Sound only comes out right earbud and of poor audio quality. Sounds great with wired earbuds into 3.5mm port. Sounds great both ears for Jlab Bluetooth earbuds if run through AUM. Reviews suggest you fixed this for Trooper, how about a fix for Magellan 2? All my stand alone synths from other vendors work great with my Jlab Bluetooth earbuds. Can you please fix this? Then you will be my favorite analog synth app. But for now, kind of frustrated with the app. I really want to run it stand alone. Thank you!

Yonac makes great apps. Honestly, for the .99 deal buy all of their products. I owned this one, Mag.2 and ToneStack for full price, and I would suggest them for that price completely. A great company and great products.

Nice but... I had the first Magellan and bought all the expansions… but now I can’t download the expansions into the first app as it crashes when attempting. I’ve had this second installment since it was released and bought the expansions here… but now I’m wondering why my old purchases aren’t available as a restore in this one since they seem very similar to each other and since It will not let me restore them into the old version.. maybe this issue can be visited and hopefully a solution comes out of it.. holding my breath.

Broken when I bought it, its fixed now thanks.. Some of the features of this app barely work since it crashes every time you use them. This app is very buggy, if you mess with the FX it immediately does this weird cracking noise and mutes your sound. You also hear a crackle sometimes while playing any of the existing presets. ^ All of that has been fixed and works as normal now.

Great job. I was hoping we’d get a Auv3 update to Magellan for the longest and don’t mind having to pay for a whole new app, tbh I was apprehensive at first because as much as I love Kasper and Kauldron I always have to go into the midi settings and turn of the hardware midi in when using them with Daws so they don’t play when I’m playing other midi instruments, happily that’s not the case with this. Idk if I can import all my user patches from version one yet. As the other other mentioned apps, it would be great if e could just not have to turn off hard midi when using them as audio units in Daws.🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 Anyway great sounding and feature rich synth!!!

Sounds great, but I think there’s a bug. I was really excited to try these Yonac apps, but was left really underwhelmed by how they actually sound. At first. This synth didn’t have a very rich, warm tone, but instead sounded very flat and lo-fi. I tried different effects and even different devices, and the result was the same. I actually thought this app and all the other Yonac synths sounded terrible. Then I tried opening it inside AUM, and it sounded brilliant. For some reason this app only lives up to its potential when it’s paired with either AUM or if I open Korea Gadget first. Otherwise it sounds really flat. Using it with another app is a workaround I can live with, but it’s still a fairly annoying bug.

Value. Amazing features. Really great synth. Tones, adjustments, and intuitive controls. One of my favorite synths to open up an idea. Worth every penny!

Love it. All around great monster of a synth.

Soundcuts outs. So far i have run into sound cutouts mutltiple times. Once it happens you have to restart the app to get any sound back. I am sure this will get fixed but right now its frustrating.

A Pleasure to Use. Really clicked last night how streamlined and fun this thing is to create with, and the sounds are great fun to explore. I won’t hold you hostage with one star, because that’s kinda messed up, but I do have a true request: Could you implement recording in from the keyboard to the sequencer? This would speed up the process of making sequences tremendously.. and less tedious on smaller screens. Thank you for a great synth.

FANTASTIC!!!. Enough said.

Deleted Magellan...after 10 years!!. But Magellan 2 is replete with amazing improvements and expansions on the same classic features we’ve cherished all this time. The MPE integration is working very well with the Roli keyboard. It’s a testament to good design and programming when an app is kept alive that long, looking forward to the next 10 years with M2! Ps. Indeed I’m hard pressed to justify yet another synth looking at screenfuls of them, but this is too outstanding to pass up. Get it!

100% worth it. The test of a soft-synth, for me, is whether or not I can make it sound like my analog synths. I’m blessed to have some actual hardware synths, and soft-synths usually show their limitations pretty quickly in an A/B test. This app replicates my best go-to hardware synths so convincingly that I couldn’t consistently tell the difference between the two - and I pride myself on my discerning ear. I recreated all my default patches for every piece of hardware in my studio, and use them for songwriting on the iPad itself. That’s pretty amazing stuff. Now that Logic Pro is coming to iPad, I’m seriously rethinking having a hardware setup at all. Hats off!

Needs to be updated. It worked great in iOS 13 and a few versions of iOS 14 but in iOS 15 it not longer works fully as an AUv3. It crashes in Audiobus 3, BeatMaker 3, Keystage and Camelot Pro in iOS 15. I reported this to the developer through the support page on its website and on Facebook but have received no response. Some communication on this issue would be helpful. Edit: Yes, thanks so much for fixing the issue. It’s working great now!

My favorite since first version. I love this synth. It rarely has issues. The thing to do if you find any problem is to contact the developer by email. NOT HERE.

Is a complete analog synth for me tanks. Is very good tanks

Whoa. This app is amazing. Great sounds and UI. Feels like i am using actual hardware.
