Skiiid App Reviews

We need more non trad noisemakers in the iOS world. This is one of those and it seems very good and deep so far. Looking forward to sampling it to death.

Looking forward to the built out maybe a beefier sequencer like different running directions flip or some live control. Midi?

iPad Pro 11.5 running iOS 13.5.1 Example: click first step in sequence, click folder to load a sound, click factory sound bd 02. Crashes 100%. It’s unclear if the pads are supposed to animate all the way to the top of the pad or if that’s a UI issue on iPad Pro? A real-time recording option would be nice.

So, the good stuff... the four instruments are incredibly expressive and easy to shape. Within a single pad, you have a wide range of sound possibilities depending on how you set parameters across the width of each pad. Everything is on one page, so you can readily see how your sound is made and where morphing takes each of your sound’s parameters. Very intuitive! The bad stuff... not to much to say here. You have to play around a bit to get some good sounds. With a little time and effort, any

Sick and slimy beats that you can morph and mangle like a wizard. Parameter locks are in here as are high quality randomization options. This a Is a synth drum and drone mode is very obtuse.

Wow. Truly this is one of the rare artifacts recovered from the alien world. I can’t wait to see where this goes. How does the AU midi work? Tried in cubasis but the GUI never showed up and I couldn’t get it to play any sound. Works great in nanostudio2. Very much love this thing. Would love to see some manual and good docs!

So innovative and weird but still easy to dial in to taste. Please make more apps!

Sounds great but midi implementation is not good. No midi cc. No way to change midi channel. No way to change midi notes. And you can’t trigger more than one sound at a time even if you load 2 instances in AUM.

the app has multiple modes, and you can easily bounce between the three and really utilize this app by itself as a peformance level drum synth. unless you upgrade to an iphone 13 from iphone 11 and are using iOS 16. once that happens you lose the ability to leave the first mode, rendering the drone and sequencer as well as all of their features unusable. this is a bummer. i will go back to five stars if they update and fix this issue.
