  1. I’m really loving Phonem! It’s very unique & the mod matrix is fun to program once you get used to it 🙂 keep it up Wolfgang! 🙂

  2. Although the answer to my question should be obvious, it isn’t clearly stated or demoed: does this app take input from voice via a mic, making it available for filtering, etc.? Or am I confusing it with a vocal studio type of app?
