Decent synth, unfortunately USELESS...
On the plus side, it’s a nice wavetable synth with 3 oscillators. Lots of waveforms, the standardd as well as odder digital algorithms and even some based on vintage synth tones. Lots of modulation and a good deal of Aftertouch possibilities. No, it is isn’t perfect…the filter isn’t great, and the envelopes are really ‘touchy’, but it’s free so what’s to complain about?
Well…to begin with, Vogue MK2 seems a bit ‘buggy’ and often crashes with specific settings and/or length of use.
But the biggest Negative with this is that it seems to be a standalone device ONLY. Really doesn’t seem a well thought-out choice by Apple to release this as standalone only. Because, as a musician, or for anyone that created a cool tone or setting and wants to actually do something with it…what can you do? No integration with Apple Logic or Garageband (or any other DAW). Why an AU/VST version wasn’t released alongside the standalone unit is beyond me. I think this is going to be most people’s major complaint.
