"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.

Crashed crashes crashing

Crashed crashes crashing

App sluit tijdens spelen spontaan af

bijnaam 7 on

Helaas door steeds zichzelf af te sluiten is het niet bruikbaar. Nu net een halfje dag in bezit , leek erg leuk , maar is op deze manier niet te gebruiken.

Crashing with midi keyboard

Bchvjgx35 on

Love this app but it crashes when using a midi keyboard. Not so handy on stage. Not sure to blame the app or the keyboard. Same problem with the fm version of the app.

Developers have lost the plot

Jeff Panda on

Limited edition apps that will cost a thousand bucks if you’re not quick enough. They use psychology to try and sell their apps. Morally and ethically wrong. I’m so done with these guys pretending to be in it for fun and music but meanwhile using psychology to sell as much as possible. I’m removing all their apps and will never buy any of their apps again.

Cowardly stance

Great sounding synth, great October sale! Wow!! Feels good to have sponsored the volunteers ;-) and get myself a pro-level synth with a sh#t load of useable presets 👍🏻

Excellence pur sang

The Fumbler on

Every once in a while you run into an app that astounds you. This is one of those rare occasions! It has given me hours of pure excitement and pleasure. Being a not so good musician this one has me hooked. Clear and clever user interface. Amazing presets and a user nice way to explore the realm of unlimited sound and expression. I wish a few features will be ported to the Synth One app. Highly recommended.

Awesome

JurriL. on

Simlpy the best...in quality of sound and the most relaxed dev. Team around...
