ScouterSynth — Support

The whole manual is inside the app: press SELECT + B for the chords on the page you are looking at, then A to open the full guide.

Getting started

The app opens with a demo song loaded so there is something to hear — press START. B and a direction travels: up and down changes which part of the app you are in, left and right walks the pages in it, and holding B shows the map of all of them. The guide's walkthrough builds a complete song from an empty one in about twenty minutes.

Common questions

Where are my songs and exports?

In the Files app, under On My iPhone → ScouterSynth. Songs, samples and exported WAVs are all there, and you can copy them out or drop files in.

An import was refused.

A project holds up to 64 MB of audio. The app converts what it can — MP3, AAC, M4A, AIFF and WAV — but a file that would push the project over the limit is refused rather than something being thrown away to make room.

The sound stopped when I locked the screen.

It should not: the app keeps playing in the background. If it stopped, check that another app did not take the audio session — a phone call or another music app will.

My controller does nothing.

Pair it in iOS Settings first, then open SETUP → CONTROLLER in the app and teach it each button. Nothing is assumed about which pad you have.

Can I get my song out as audio?

Yes — SETUP → SONG → EXPORT WAV renders the whole arrangement to a file in the Files app.

Reporting something broken

Say what you were on screen, what you pressed, and what happened instead. If the app crashed, the iOS crash report (Settings → Privacy & Security → Analytics & Improvements → Analytics Data, anything beginning ScouterSynth) is worth more than any description.
