"Digital D1 synth is pure ‘80s and ‘90s digital lushness" - Computer Music/Music Radar
"Beautiful. Lush. Modern and Amazing… An Instant Classic."
REQUIREMENTS:
Requires newer iPads for best performance. May be slow on iPad 4.
IAA is being deprecated by Apple in iOS 13. We're moving to AUv3 as well. Please replace IAA with AUv3 in your projects.
GarageBand Audio Unit (AUv3):
You can run one instance of D1 as an AUv3 in GarageBand. With a host like AUM, you can run 3 or more instances at once.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
For iPad 4 - Open the "Settings" button (to the upper left above the keyboard). Turn the buffer to 512 or above. And turn the "CPU Efficient" toggle to on. If still having trouble, try closing other music apps and/or rebooting your iPad. Thanks!

** This app does not sample any PCM-based synths, including Roland or Korg digital keyboards. Additionally, this app does not have any business relationship with Roland, Korg, or any other 80s/90s Digital Synth manufacturers.
*** All app sounds were created by pure analog and fm synthesis. We took these new sounds. Stacked them. Flipped them. And, processed the heck out of ’em. Resulting in a beautiful new sonic palette for you to enjoy.

I think I bought the wrong APP but I’m not disappointed

Dope Snare on

I didn’t know I needed 80’s & 90’s sounds. Happy accident :)

Nice play thing

luc.morin on

Canada

It sounds amazing, but random crashes prevent it from being used more seriously. Still a nice play thing though!

Great app. Yay AudioKit!

Lots of great sounds. Useful addition to synths collection.

Crashes in AUM

Updated review - loads much better and amount of crashes reduced substantially after update - thanks

Great sounds, not so stable in AUM

Love the patches but seems to bug very often in AUM. Need to reload it everytime. Also it changes patches without notice.

Genial 👌🏼

Muy completa! Sin embargo no la he podido usar como instrumento en GarageBand.. se colapsa al instante en el iPad Pro.. por lo demás una excelente App!!

A Top Synth App

Simply Unreal on

Canada

I am very impressed with this synth app. I began by downloading the free AudioKit Pro app and was very impressed with the awesome collection of built-in presets and then decided to purchase this Digital D1 app. The presets and sounds from this app is even better. It has a top notch collection of presets and I love the interface of these Audiokit apps. Very clean and user friendly. I would highly recommend this app to anyone looking to gain a nice collection of instruments to expand their music creativity. I am looking forward to seeing the next updates and features this developer will provide us musicians.

Gorgeous

For spacey, out-of-this-world sounds, this is just the thing!!

Needs drastic improvement

Happyfeet11 on

Canada

The sounds are amazing. But is has great reliability issues in iOS. The app does not load properly on Garage band every time as a Audio plugin. Until these issues are fixed, as a user I just am not able to enjoy it. The app needs a major improvement.

Best In Class

Casanovin on

Canada

No sense in downloading this until they’ve fixed the sample rate problem they have. You can play this when not recording or in play mode but if you start to record, notes will 100% drop off and not trigger on time with the tempo rendering this app useless for me. Unless someone has a solution to fix the sample rate on the new iPads, I would not recommend you download this app.
