Imaginando user review from Apple Store

Fantastic synth!

I bought this synth long ago and have since purchased all the preset expansions, as well as their granular synth, FRMS and it’s expansions, and their delay plugin, K7D which is also incredible and well worth your time and money. I’ve also bought the desktop versions. Imaginando was early to the game of soft synths creatively designed to be used on a computer or decode and still does that better than most. What that means is you have all the parameters people who know something about real, analogue synthesizers want and expect to create their own sounds, but rather than mimicking physical layouts of “real” synths they designed it to be more screen-friendly. For those of us who either don’t know anything about synthesis or don’t want to have to spend a lot of time learning or finding the perfect sound, they have their very well-priced preset expansion packs, which have some incredible settings for showing how rich and varied DRC can sound. DRC has a very unique sound and competes with the best. I’d take it and FRMS over most soft synths. I wasn’t surprised to see a lot of other developers jump on the bandwagon and follow this model and Imaginando remains at the top. In terms of sound, functionality, parameter layout and price, DRC is a definite favorite of mine and remains a desert island soft synth. As a product fan and loyal customer, I wanted to respond to some of negative reviews which are wildly under-infomed and misleading and unfortunate for their impact on the overall rating. First off, price: the stock synth comes with a sizable package of presets that’s allow you to start with a ton of asound options and tweak from there. For those who don’t care to learn how to actually use or create their own sound with a synthesizer (I’m guilty of relying on presets often to save time) you can buy preset packs, which are all incredible. Don’t think of buying presets as “unlocking the full synth” think of it as purchasing the convenience of not being forced to learn how to create your own presets. I’m including myself in that, as I end up buying more synths rather than mastering the ones I love. Lastly, there is nothing missing in terms of expected feature like note-holding, etc. take some time to explore all the functions and you will be rewarded. Also, take some time to really explore before slagging a really top-notch product and great company who is clearly not a bandwagon, money-centered enterprise. DRC is fantastic, Imaginando is a great company to support I recommend it for iOS as well as desktop.
