Orphion is a musical instrument with a unique sound between string instrument and percussion. Everyone can play expressive, wonderful sounds and easy or virtuosic melodies on it just by moving fingers on virtual pads. What can ...
Couple of times per year I spend several hours almost randomly playing orphion just for myself                     Absolutely love it ĂŚjct
I uninstalled this app awhile back for some reason I ran across it again while doing a synthesizer search I re installed it because of the custom layout feature but now going to UN INSTALL it So I understand that developers rightfully deserve for their hard work and for nothing more than trying to keep up with all of the Apple guidelines and apples updates So when a developer gives an app for free it is very cool That is why I give this app the 5 stars But why charge for the thing that is in fact the key to this app being deferent and instead charge for maybe an expansion pack of sounds I mean you could really do some cool stuff with the design and sound packs would sell rather well Guitars a pack that includes nylon string steal string then move into Acoustic Electric leads rhythms ect Strings a pack that includes Cellos Violins Basses Violas With having the variation ability already built in the app this will allow for stabs long and short vibratos ect Percussions Drums a pack that includes Jazz Rock Ethnic drums Snare Kick Toms Hi Hat Cymbal crashes ect again the variation of finger tap pressure will allow a HUGE expanse of flavors to each drum The snare could have a roll as you slide your finger as you would for vibrato A rim shot if you tap hard and normal snare hit as a normal finger press         Good idea but in app purchase just to customize your own layout Thirdnail
Jacob Haq reminded me why I love this app                     Happy to install again Dcs1771
Unique sounds intuitive to your fingers in such a cool way The vibrato features are tight                     Sounds awesome Peeweenees
I returned to Orphion again after not having played it in a while because being able to put the pads exactly where I want them triggering the exact notes I want with whatever synth voice I choose through virtual MIDI is just sweet I kept seeing this in the App Store but passed it by because I didn t think it was the kind of app I would like I was completely wrong While almost every musical app out there provides a tiny keyboard or set of pads Orphion provides pad layouts that are natural and ergonomic The creator of Orphion noticed something the others seem to have missed with a touchscreen we re not limited to a single input layout                     Nothing Like It ZenLizard
Love this app Especially for using MIDI to play outboard gear Highly inspiring                     Awesome app works Great AshFallenBrightly
The app closes and immediately crashes even after being reinstalled Hopefully the developer will fix this ASAP     Broken polarpaul
I love Orphion it lets you define your own instrument layout and assign pitch to each area Plus it detects hard and light touches and does something between the hit areas I haven t figured out but which adds to the variety of sounds you can get from this It also has something that might be a feature or a bug but when you play a lot of notes fast you can get unexpected harmonics and ringing I suspect it is intentional but no matter I love it I don t know of any other app quite like it                     I Love This App fgk
and I don t take making that statement lightly Orphion is as inspiring as Samplr it s that good It s one of the apps i can count on half of one hand that keep iOS an viable and invaluable music platform for me It s so simple nothing gets in the way of you connecting with Orphions sound or whatever you are controlling but for me I love orphions sound Something about it resonates deep within when I use it all you have to do is try it and you ll see what I m talking about It makes writing music effortless as it streams inspiration and keeps you in that zone at all times I m obviously not very good at articulating what I m trying to say through the view finder of a little review box but suffice it to say that I love this app and can only recommend it to you over and over again                     Orphion is one of the most inspiring apps in iOS Samplist
Really fun to experiment with This is the way to do an iPad instrument I love that they created something totally unique vs trying to simulate some real instrument                     Love it Charles_Shaw
The app is very fun My kid loves to play with it                     So fun app CheCheFar
I m so glad I found this app Works great with Audiobus and the editor is worth every penny It s fun and easy to use off the bat but surprisingly powerful                     Fun powerful expressive kajitokenka
I considered a 4 star review because while I really liked the percussive pluck sound of Orphion as an instrument it s kind of a one trick pony in terms of sound output There are a lot of interesting newer apps Ondes comes to mind that combine an interesting touch interface with the ability to morph your sound But the app is only a few dollars and it s capabilities as a MIDI controller and a fairly customizable one at that make it pretty interesting You can even set it so that certain pads trigger MIDI while other ones play internal notes bass lead anyone It s not going to displace more feature heavy MIDI controllers in my collection like ChordPolyPad or Fiddlewax Pro But it s a great sounding quirkly little instrument with nice functionality The touch responsiveness to the pads with color feedback is very cool                     Unique instrument doubling as a great MIDI controller HouseOfHomuth
Ok I ve spent hundreds of dollars on apps looking for the best playing surface on the iPad My search is officially over This is it Expressive flexible and affordable Wonderful app Great built in sounds Works wonderfully as a midi controller to other instruments on the iPad and over wifi I use it to control the M3000 Mellotron sounds Nothing beats this This has truly retired my external midi keyboard Don t waste time and get this together with the Orphion Editor IAP                     The perfect playing surface on the iPad AndreXuxu
I mean how can it have been approved for so long then had the major feature of it unique sound and style cut out of it Kinda reminds me of a well known camera app that got the boot for figuring out how to use the volume switch to act as a shutter release Now lots of apps use that trick Just doesn t make sense why being able to sense the size of impact area on the screen is such a threat to any device after it was out there and working for so long Won t update my copy of this app until that feature is officially restored             Sadly now dead since IOS8 update GunShyCCTV
I m not a musician but I really enjoy music This app is fun                     Full featured and fun as Hell John Fryar
Love it This is the app that awoke an entire world of sound creation for me Basic simple wonderful                     My No 1 Shepherd Jim
I want to see more app instruments like this Really fun easy to get the hang of and fairly versatile                     A very cool unique instrument cavechilde
Nice app I like the controller aspect but I could never get the soundcloud to work I was talking to support for a while but then they just stopped answering my emails If you are getting this for the record to soundcloud function you may want to think about it             Problems with soundcloud upload sivad2
Great app for expressive playing of other apps or sending midi to your computer                     Wonderful controller jc_vt
Absolutely worth it                     Excellent concept excellent design Olpaulie
Even without the 99 cent IAP this app instrument has pad configurations galore in which one can change and manipulate notes With the purchase though you can basically Create your own pad configurations in terms of placement size notes holds crisp wet etc Initially I purchased as a percussion instrument and it is that plus an array of other unique and fully customisable sounds that I m enjoying If you like bass guitar you can get deep of the deep vibrate the walls kind of bass or completely subtle and that kind of range applies to whatever you want to achieve Also the developer was very responsive and on top of the whoIe IAP issue plus followed up which is always appreciated The same attention to detail and care is also abundant in this app                     Incredibly Full Featured and Unique Clurichaun
Great program especially now the the IAP issue was fixed Something I plan on using a lot                     Problem with IAP fixed Great Program Ajo1984
Love playing this                     A real instrument tosain
One of the best pieces of music software for this device This is a great step forwards for iPad musicians I look forward to the future of micro tonality within all of our scale locked pitch perfect precision Please don t stop developing this Bastus I don t believe in withholding stars from reviews in order to obtain future benefits this fully deserves six stars MIDI works so well with Sunrizer and addictive synth Why not have control surfaces for the modulation wheels since you have custom layouts anyway Please look at adding the pitch bender and the modulation wheels at the very least because I love the expressiveness of Orphion but I can t give those up I think most people feel the same I also think that you should have a bank of Orphion specific voices those like maybe Koto and Shamisen Lute and or the above synth s used to highlight the soft sensitive touches of Orphion specifically                     Expressive configurable unique buy it or lose a big slice of legit expressiveness The.Adam
Such a great midi controller Love the in app purchase editor So awesome to be able to make custom layouts                     Fantastic JosiahLowe
If you are serious about using the iOS to make music you need to buy this app and the Orphion Editor Your paltry 4 investment will pay off many times over                     A Must Have Fig.1
I liked this app so much and one day while updating some apps I pushed update on this app without knowing about the Apple forced change It s been hard to make it work since I was able to make so many more sounds before especially with the fatness of the thumb vs the finger I am sorry to say this went from a magical app to just ordinary noise maker may sound harsh but it s the truth Old version got 5 stars         I wish so bad I hadn t updated Trauken

expressive percussive controller app that Apple has hobbled Apple let the iPad be a deeper musical instrument crap I accidentally upgraded CRIPPLED my old version iOS is a nanny OS now I have to wait for Apple to let this app be useful let the devs do their thing apple                     Apple let my people go zloo
From Discchord s website post entitled Eulogy For Cantor Orphion Bastus are some pretty clever developers and they have been pushing the envelope in terms of what we can do with our shiny iPads As with Orphion when you re playing an instrument on a glass screen you need all the help you can get to make your play expressive Then out of the blue and just after Apple started off their WWDC keynote sucking up to developers for a half an hour they gave Bastus the call This casual reversal on what had already been approved will have a chilling effect on the developer community Don t push the boundaries or Apple can and will yank your income I m keeping my version 1 5 Straighten up Apple the developers make your products stand out Haven t used this app Buy it because it is the kind of music creation tool that will revolutionize your compositions                 Orphion is pure genius Apple is a bully amplifyfitness
Because you can t improve perfection                     I will never update Darth Sneakers
It was one of the most cutting edge midi controller interfaces ever offered on an iPad Apple has forced it to be crippled somewhat with the latest release If you have it Keep it the way it is If you don t have it yet it s dry good but was better before apple forced the app to change                 Apple screwed it Deltacaster
The App Store has ruined a beautiful app with its ignorance and stupidity Orphion is now crippled                     WARNING Do not update spleenomatic
The variety of possible sounds makes this app sophisticated enough to be enjoyed by anyone At the same time it s so easy to generate pleasing music even my 9 month young daughter could play it and it kept her entertained for some time                     Beautiful Koto like sounds Geoff Armstrong
If the story is correct Apple told this developer that he has to dumb down the technology in this app after they approved his app about 7 or so times That is just asinine This app is a truly wonderful music instrument because of its ability to express dynamics and pitch bending techniques This developer has really pushed ahead and made something unique that I didn t know the iPad could even do Why Apple would you punish that Apps like this are the reason that I bought an iPad for my music making Punishing developers who help sell your product by offering something unique is not good business and not advancing what your product is capable of Apple at the least I think you should grandfather clause the capabilities of this app as you ve already approved it as is But I REALLY think you should reconsider your decisions and tactics if you want to remain 1 in a few years I have no affiliation but I am a consumer who is looking for the best products instruments Dumbing down the iPad is illogical I think you re giving away an unnecessary opening for companies like Samsung and Google                     Shame On Apple 1dionysus
Has it s own cool tones and one of the most expressive midi controllers on iOS You really can get lost in the fun Please Apple don t pull this app from the store                     So expressive so different so fun Loomisponder
This app is one amazing tool for musicians Once you start controlling other synths via MIDI you can lose track of time Think Different DO NOT pull this app from the store                     Dear Apple ScottNewton09
This is a fun music app the one thing I do not like is that it does not clearly tell you what key you are in                 Good music app bburt85
Very nice tool for creative live playing Very musical Works best with midi using it to trigger sounds from another synth like Sunrizer Would be great to add chords to individual pads and maybe choose color palatte                 Creative and Fun Cosmospacemonkey
Sadly I m not musically trained But I still enjoy this app a lot The sounds are kind of haunting and I like doodling around on it                 Fun cookysue
Wonderful                     Jakespere max the cat
Excellent Fantastic App Would give it 5 stars if it had more internal sounds Would also appreciate the ability to easily add individual sounds or samples to each pad                 Luvz it p3t3b
The accelerometer based pressure sensing is really clever and works very well                     Very discoverable interface Todd Anderson

I absolutely LOVE this touch screen music app I use it to make my own random sounds to find relaxationmy very own music Please dont ever take it away This is my favorite app on my iPad It is so much fun to make my own unique sounds To the creator of ORPHION I love youand I told my hubby You are the 2nd most loved person in my world                 Love this little touch music maker
Ive been looking for an instrument that truly took advantage of the iPads functionality and also serve as a MIDI controller Orphion is it Honestly I havent gotten to the second part yet because Ive had so much fun playing with it Wonderful software Intuitive expressive I wish it had more voices but thats where the MIDI comes in Back to work              The Coolest iPad instrument
I mean how can it have been approved for so long then had the major feature of it unique sound and style cut out of it Kinda reminds me of a well known camera app that got the boot for figuring out how to use the volume switch to act as a shutter release Now lots of apps use that trick Just doesnt make sense why being able to sense the size of impact area on the screen is such a threat to any device after it was out there and working for so long Wont update my copy of this app until that feature is officially restored           Sadly now dead since IOS8 update

As unique iPad musical instruments go Orphion is perhaps the most wellthoughtout and expressive On first playing Orphion sounds like a Koto or Zheng But after a few minutes youll be playing violin and tubulum sounds just by how you attack the pads Gesturebased vibrato tremolo and portamento make this a truly expressive instrument Try a little Koto Blues on it 8 note polyphonic 14 pad layouts include guitar fretboard keys drums but the really cool ones are the less conventional like Pentawheel and Bluescale Transpose any scale with the Sharp and Flat buttons Inapp purchase of padset builder Very fast pad response for playing insane percussion Export recordings by email and audio copy play live with AudioBus and MIDI Senstivity needs a little more fine tuning so you can easily get a nice violin as well as a nice Koto Bass sounds are a bit anemic              A truly touchbased musical instrument
Because you cant improve perfection                 I will never update

Thanks for the new editor                 Orphion
You will probably see the expressive description in most reviews of Orphion That may be because it can seem like a rare quality in many padbased interfaces It brings a lot of what we love about instruments to a place where we love to work The ability to create new workspaces in the editor really expands the toolset You will approach things in different ways You can rediscover your other instruments with MIDI                 Smart expressive and elegant
Even without the 99 cent IAP this app instrument has pad configurations galore in which one can change and manipulate notes With the purchase though you can basically Create your own pad configurations in terms of placement size notes holds crisp wet etc Initially I purchased as a percussion instrument and it is that plus an array of other unique and fully customisable sounds that Im enjoying If you like bass guitar you can get deep of the deep vibrate the walls kind of bass or completely subtle and that kind of range applies to whatever you want to achieve Also the developer was very responsive and on top of the whoIe IAP issue plus followed up which is always appreciated The same attention to detail and care is also abundant in this app                 Incredibly Full Featured and Unique

Unique sounds intuitive to your fingers in such a cool way The vibrato features are tight                 Sounds awesome
I am thrilled by the rich and diverse sound that one can produce through the simple interface Love playing it babies and kids too                 Fantastic
I love Orphion it lets you define your own instrument layout and assign pitch to each area Plus it detects hard and light touches and does something between the hit areas I havent figured out but which adds to the variety of sounds you can get from this It also has something that might be a feature or a bug but when you play a lot of notes fast you can get unexpected harmonics and ringing I suspect it is intentional but no matter I love it I dont know of any other app quite like it                 I Love This App
