Wonderful app - had it for a while and still not properly touched the surface. Thanks for your video -v useful. If I win I’d probably go for Looperator since I already have a couple of the other Sugar Bytes.

[@AndyAffleck]

Nice!

[@eddyjosegonzalezcastro2916]

Amazing Want Aparillo

[@joshuagood4237]

Congratulations👍

[@OfficialStevenCravis]

This is THE BEST tutorial about Aparillo.

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Thank you!

[@davemann9803]

I love Sugar Bytes stuff but this thing is next level! I had no idea about people not getting paid for skipped adverts, looks like I wasn’t supporting my favourite content creators as much as I thought. Thanks for the heads up!!

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Same here man! That was a real surprise to me!

[@aklibs2707]

It’s very different synth app and always a fan of Sugarbytes unusual creativeness.

[@helmski]

Sugar Bytes! Love their apps. German sound benders with great Kung-Fu! I have not used Aparillo very often. You inspired me to dive back in with your excellent tutorial! Thanks Gav!

[@avx8187]

Everything Sugar Bytes does is unique and flawless! The aesthetics and richness of details that the company commits is worth every penny! I hope I win this one, good luck to all 🍀

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Agreed! A truly unique and superb developer, I'm a huge fan

[@PinkBoardProducts]

All of sugarbytes stuff is absolutely incredible

[@SharifKerbage]

Holy, such a deep thing! The LFO section deserves a dedicated preset manager or copy/paste function itself.. huge amount of possibilities. Amazing walkthrough, thank you!

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Thank you Adrian, yeah, I went very deep with this one and it was very time consuming but very satisfying to make

[@mateowalschburger3893]

Sugar Bytes is one hell of a developer, gotta give it to them. Thanks for the review and tutorial!

[@electronicbubonic]

I absolutely love Aparillo. I can get organized chaos with it. This is a great tutorial. I hope I win because I'd really love Drumcomputer. Thanks again!

[@bazebuster8330]

Congratulations. Aparillo is absolutely one of my favourite ipad-synths

[@notronblanco]

Love SB apps, super deep and innovative but well thought out UIs. That being said, all them are somewhat daunting when you first open them up so a tutorial like this is invaluable. Killer work as always mate

[@stefrance2]

I forgot I even had this app for years ! Thank’s for bringing it to my attention again !

[@tunepsyc4365]

Thanks for this, I hadn’t played with Aparillo for awhile now ❣️

[@gbcraw]

Woah. A nice, deep dive. An impressive synth -- and an impressive amount of work on your part, Gavin. Many thanks!

[@Markrspooner]

I have been tempted to try out Sugar Bytes synths for a while but haven't yet taken the plunge. Great to have such a thorough walkthrough and demo Gav!

[@TheBroadcastStudio365]

You’re a very sweet person! Thanks for all Information! I bought it yesterday!

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Thank you, enjoy!

[@degreeoffreedom2268]

More than one hour, now that’s what I call deep. Never explored Aparillo that much, so let’s go. Might give it another chance. Thanks Garvin

[@GregoryRiker]

I’ve never been able to get comfortable with Aparillo, looking forward to your in-depth exploration to help comprehend this beast. I watched the Cosm videos (twice) and didn’t get as much from them as I did from this. This is easily one of your best tutorials. Thanks for investing the time to help the rest of us. Oh, and I watched multiple videos. (That’s cold!)

[@kiitwa]

A great deep dive of a unique synth!

[@cyclopsandowl]

What an absolutely beast hidden in such a neat and tidy package! Excited for the walkthrough! 🤩

[@gurumonkey]

I've been wondering about this one! Excited about the prospect of winning one of their synths

[@jameskeene1787]

This thing not only sounds amazing but UI looks great too. I really hope to get this.

[@simongregory3114]

Looking forward to settling in with this. Good giveaway, thanks for your effort!

[@ShapeNoise]

Yeah this one is wild, really awesome modulation options, thanks for the peer pressure 👾

[@crawlingwind]

Great synth - great demo!

[@jamesrabbott5613]

Nice, there is a lot to cover with this one. Good choice of examples showing the effects of gravitation.

[@dmitriiposlavskii6415]

When I saw Aparillo for a first time I was like: "what a dope toy like this? what's happening with the orbs? how it works?" Thank you for the tutorial! Very useful! :)

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Yeah, it’s so whacky!

[@robthequiet]

I confess it is a bit overwhelming as I haven't done much with it though I've had it on my iPad for months. Thanks for the inspiration to jump back in.

[@johnhowardnardine6815]

Oh, and thanks for the tip on watching the ads: I actually was wondering how the compensation worked for KZbin creators. I made sure to watch a few ads all the way through. It's the least we can do for such great content.

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Much appreciated!

[@benmoore2429]

This looks like a synth you can loose yourself in! Great video Gavinski.

[@moops5040]

Ah, this is great, thank you! Love sugar bytes but this one has been sitting, mainly due to just being overwhelmed by all of the options. Epic breakdown, much appreciated. Will be watching sections of this one multiple times-

[@Marco-ek8wu]

Had this since release day and never really knew how to use it. Just used the presets with a few tweaks. Going to give it another go after watching this - thanks.

[@ivicacerovecki6252]

Very powerful synth, thanks for the extensive tutorial.

[@BujarSylejmani]

Thanks for a thorough explanation of this amazing synth. Had no idea of what this app is capable of producing.Each time I watch or rewatch any of your tutorials is like rediscovering a completely new instrument or effect, like looperator for instance which I haven’t got it yet. Thanks for the effort you are giving to keep this community evolve

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Thanks a lot Bujar, glad you appreciate the work

[@gratouilli1779]

Thank you for this in depth walkthrough 🙏🏻. Using the demo, I particularly like the "bell'ish / glass'ish" sounds I'm able to obtain out of Aparillo. The orbit is also a joy to play with 👍🏻

[@jimparker4645]

I have Aparillo already but have never really gotten my head around it. This will come in handy! x

[@craftycurate]

Aparillo is a powerhouse and quite unique. Like nothing else on the planet and capable of incredible sounds.

[@SkyTortoiseFerryman]

I agree this is great sounding, but programming takes some time to understand, so thanks for the tutorial. The same is true for many of their apps. But they include are many, many presets so just searching through those is rewarding. This and Factory often have a big sound which don't always layer so well in a mix with lots of other sounds. So these I think are better as primary synths for a track.

[@nachshonrorick]

The synth is a beast! Thanks for another great tutorial!

[@HollowCryptmusic]

Funny I’ve been messing with Aparillo the last few days. The sounds are quite insane and the random function is nice. Great vid, Gav!

[@IsaakKwok]

Thanks for the deep dive!! Came at the appropriate time as I’ve been trying to figure how to best use the app.

[@Prexsplay]

Maybe time to try my luck on this one! Sugar bytes are really good! Thanks for the tutorials too!

[@nitsuanate]

What great sounds! Very exciting synth, endless sound construction

[@Picturewerks]

All the Sugar Bytes apps are incredibly deep. I'm a big fan of their "Factory" app. I've not spent the time with this one, but it sounds fantastic as well! Thanks for the walk-through.

[@creationbeatsuk]

I think I've got every Sugarbytes app 😂

[@marcmeup1]

Thanks again Gav. It's insanely deep! I have the vst version.

[@MisterCross]

Sooo cool. Can't wait to watch when I get home. This synth has been sitting in my synths folder for awhile now. I've messed around with it some but have been working on other things. Thanks for all the work you do, these videos are immensely helpful.

[@silasgarrett2431]

I got this early in my iOS synth journey, and it was way too complicated for me to wrap my head around at the time. Thanks for making this. I'm following along to try to understand it better.

[@jzno]

Good walkthrough, as usual! One of the most fun synths for iOS, by one of the top notch companies ❤️ IMHO! Good luck everyone ❤️

[@SiEffen]

Thanks for the deep dive. Lots going on and I've always been out of my depth trying to work it out!

[@MichaelHauserMusic]

Great introduction to this deep app! I purchased the IAP in the recent sale but hadn't done more than play presets and mess with the Orbit screen so far. This is really helpful. Thanks.

[@Qixion4893]

Really want to learn this synth for a while now

[@georgesbouchelaghem682]

Love Aparillo, like all SB apps. One of my main synths.

[@EN-de1wz]

I predict I’ll be coming back to this video many times. Thanks for all the details!

[@GavinskisTutorials]

That's the way to do it for sure - watch with your ipad in front of you and replicate, you'll get it in no time!

[@wakax]

this synth is my fav take on FM synthesis ever. cinematic to the operator!:) I use it on Mac and iOS. Thanks Gav!

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Isn't it incredible Felix, I'm currently absolutely obsessed with it.

[@jeffhobbs941]

Thanks for another great video Gav! Love Sugar Bytes apps - I already have Aparillo & love it to bits, although I still haven't got past the awesome presets yet!

[@michaelmj1964]

This is a great app, but I’ve never explored it in depth - looking forward to this walk through.

[@saintmoz]

If I wasn’t a believer in modulation this would convert me instantly. Your tutorials have really got me excited about synths, excited enough to buy myself a microfreak. Once I have the budget I’m unlocking this app. I have two other sugarbytes apps and yes they a pricey, but worth every cent.

[@heinzkunobert1359]

Yes - what a powerful synth - one of my favorite.!👍🏽🧔🏼🙏🏽

[@gothamoddisee]

Another incredible deep dive? Thanks mate! You're a uniquely valuable addition to this art/tech space.

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Thank you!

[@siegersjw]

I’m beginning to understand more of what LFO means. This synth obviously uses the potential of it and I thank you for explaining!

[@hoipoloi2]

Low freq oscillator. Makes no sound of its own, but modulates other sounds or other LFO's.

[@JamesOlmos]

I absolutely love this app! Thanks for creating amazing, clearly thought out videos.

[@NIKMuzka]

Excellent timing, just bought this few weeks back and been using it today for some Lofi trip hop. Could do with this tutorial though. Also bought Thesys after you mentioned it, sugar bytes killing it with their apps

[@wangyu-ching341]

With you deep introducing this app, I can really understand the value and beauty of it, thank you!

[@GavinskisTutorials]

My pleasure 王!

[@christopherichard498]

Great vid on one of, if not MY favourite synth !!! The basic sounds are incredible !!! Thanks a lot for this !!!!

[@GavinskisTutorials]

I love it too Christophe!

[@xaviduch]

For someone who started with synths with a Yamaha CS-01 and on, ages ago...this tutorial let me learn how to get a real trip (and funny) by investing my time as a sound designer and composer...Truly inspiring, and...I promise you, I saw more than 10 advertisements throughout the tutorial ;)...Thank you for your time and...subscribed!!

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Ah thank you haha! Kind of you

[@rrrobart9]

I’ve got a few from Sugar Bytes, and yes they are sick. What I really want is Factory! Sign me up! Thanks for these awesome tutorials!

[@TonyRodz11]

wow what a great video. ive own this app for about a year now and i am still learning about it. really like the deep dive into it. Thanks Gavinski for the great video.

[@mattydread6618]

Aparillo is such a deep program with infinite possibilities. Sugar Bytes stuff is so amazing and at the same time can be overwhelming!

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Certainly can be. But the manuals are pretty good and Tom Cosm does a great and inspiring job with his official Sugar Bytes tutorials on their KZbin channel, though he does go a bit too fast I reckon.

[@mattydread6618]

@@GavinskisTutorials I just meant that the programs are so capable and massive that it can blow your mind with the endless possibilities!

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Defo!

[@kyleullson1906]

Man just look at this thing, a joy to play with. Great work. I can’t play keyboard, it’s for me!

[@PaulBreitzmann]

Keep up the great content! Having narrated examples like this really helps when deciding to invest in a pricier (for iOS) synth.

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Cheers Paul!

[@RazvanKrivach]

Aparillo is amazing. Very expressive in good hands. Anyway, thank you for the well paced journey and for the new opportunity to get my hands on the full version of Drum Computer (it is on my wishlist for expansion 💜 )

[@Alex_Martz]

Sugar Bytes is amazing, I have Turnado and is still one of the most fun FXs to play with, I hope I can win one of the full Sugar Bytes apps, thanks!

[@royor3]

What a monstrous synth! I don’t even know where to start.. you could easily spend hours, days, weeks + months with this.. incredible amount of tweak-ability.. truly amazing what this can do.. 👍 ❤️ the Modulation, LFO + Arp capabilities.. pretty insane.. Random options in the Orbiter are very welcome.. can twist a sound very quickly.. Again, I really dig how Sugarbytes lets you fully try out their apps (standalone, limited presets, no saving etc..) An hour+ tutorial on this is.. just about right.. you covered all the important stuff + did a great audio demo of it as well.. I know a ton of time + effort went into this one.. Must’ve been days in the making.. Very much appreciated.. 🙏

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Cheers Roy! A lot of work, yes, but learnt a hell of a lot in the process 🙏

[@beedok]

Yeah this is a great synth......great tutorial as always. Would love a chance to win some sugar!

[@emil-9432]

Factory is my fav of theirs, but this one’s looking cool too!

[@kennyhancock6439]

I have looked at this a few times and watched some demos,this one clarifies a few things.Would like to give it a shot especially if I can win a copy

[@kyleallen5299]

Fantastic and marvelous sounding app.

[@dugnsand]

I purchased this some time ago for the cinematic presets. You feel like you could score a full movie by pressing one or two keys :). I want to follow up on your brief comment about Sugar Bytes own tutorials for this app. While they are comprehensive, the presenter speaks so fast and uses terms that are not clearly explained, the viewer is more confused than informed. That is what makes your tutorials so much better - you make the app comprehensible (even though I may have to watch it more than once). Great app and very deep. Thank you.

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Thank you, I did mention those vids were a bit fast but yeah, 'way way too fast' would be a fairer description. But some great sound design ideas in there nevertheless.

[@FamPiers]

What a great synth and video. Thanks a lot, you’re king of the tuts!

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Ooh, hight praise, thank you

[@maxDazzler]

Nice one, really helpful stuff. This synth has always confused me when I’ve opened it so nice to see a clear tutorial demystifying it 👍

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ChristianKrupa]

Rather good and necessarily in depth - I will definitely need to rewatch a few sections of this great run through to fully absorb all the knowledge it imparts... Already having this, egoist, unique and looperator, I would nominate Thesys to be the one I'd like if I'm drawn to win :)

[@PoppaDocRocks]

Timestamps are a great addition. Great video. Effectrix.

[@xencage]

Ok. I’m watching the ads! I think I know the MIDI cord pack by heart!🤪 Great tutorial, sir! Factory could use your love, too!

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Haha, those damn midi chord pack ads, thanks for the support!

[@olafge]

Wow, Aparillo is so deep. I have it installed for a year or so but I never really got into it. Your tutorial reall inspires me. BUT I really fell in love with DrumComputer would prefer to get it as I did not yet buy .

[@robwalser8861]

Thanks for an informative comprehensive demo and review!

[@user-wx3gq7dj9q]

These apps are pretty deep, thank you gav. Look forward to your tutorial

[@DinMcHine]

Got it during the BF! ))) Thanks for the very good tutorial! )))

[@timelapsedigital2536]

Thanks for the in-depth tutorial, awesome stuff!

[@postbop1]

I’ve always found this app intriguing but haven’t spent any time trying to learn it. I’m glad I now have an in-depth tutorial for when I’m ready to take the dive!🙌🏽

[@dezwilliams8761]

Thanks for the walkthrough and reminding me about this great synth.. It's deep but lots of fun for sure! Now if I could only get the full version of Drum Computer to use as AUv3.. Fingers crossed! :)

[@gregorylindholm9928]

Marvelous vid. Flattens the learnIng curve. Thanks for the good work.

[@jimrunfola]

I’ve had this app for a while and never really used it much but this video really explained things. I’ll more than likely start using it more now. Thank you!

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Cheers Jim! Glad it helps 🙏

[@cvwonder]

Thanks Gavinski- I wasn't previously aware of this app, very cool.

[@danielsalomon3893]

Thank you so much for breaking down how the LFO works in this app. Anytime I’d looked at it, I’d wondered what the heck I was looking at. Looked a lot like Rozeta Particles, turned sideways.

[@GavinskisTutorials]

This app is completely bewildering at first glance, yes 😂

[@mistersimonstrange]

Sounds very interesting...thanks for the amazing deep video Gav! ❤️🙃❤️

[@viridisvir7077]

Have had the free version of Aparillo for a while but haven’t used it much. Thx for this vid - makes me wanna go check it out.

[@cldbrbn6070]

Aparillo is definitely my favorite Sugar Bytes app. Brings something very unique and playable. A very pro app, and a very pro video!

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Cheers!

[@bonnytyler248]

Very very amazing tutorial on this wonderful app.

[@TerenceKearns]

I enjoyed this detailed and well paced walk-through. After learning it with Tom Cosm the first time, i didn't retain the knowledge because I didn't use it enough. It's so complex I needed this tutorial to learn it again. It's quite the beast.

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Thanks. I thought Tom's walkthrough was inspiring but too fast-paced for most users. Hence the need for a slightly more systematic approach here. This is one of my faves for sure among my vids, along with my Stria video. Glad you found it useful!

[@TerenceKearns]

@@GavinskisTutorials I did indeed. Gonna try my hand and some ambient music using it. I think it will be perfect for that.
