Ratings and reviews

Controls aren't aligning to where I'm touching the screen. Very frustrating. Are you guys going to fix this bug? I've been waiting for a long time. I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times. The issue persists. Quite annoying to try to adjust a parameter but instead of pressing the control on the screen I have to touch 1-2 cm to the side somewhat guessing if I'm going to be able to adjust what I want to. Super annoying.

Wow, this companion app really opens the hood on the Argon8. Amazing layout, especially the sequencer and arp tools. Much better for sound design than just using the panel alone. No latency real-time connection to the synth, instant response to edits and the system updates are amazingly fast too!

edit: out of blue the app started to work......... was: app not working with my cobalt8. after startup it says 'no response from device'. it suggests to 'repair' the firmware on synth, but after i invoke firmware update on the synth, the process got stuck on 'UPDATE waiting for modalapp connection...' forever
