"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!

Audio kit
The D1 synthesiser is brilliant. I have only just finished trying out the sounds and they are absolutely class leading. I can see myself using this synthesiser a lot. You won’t be disappointed. Douglas Bower
Brilliant but forgotten?
One of the best in my opinion. However, it crashes quite a lot in 2023.
Super acey… or was …
Reminded of another synth with a D in its name, this with added steroids, thing is, i dont need to elaborate! Hourargh ! Latest blurb says “this is an old app (with a new version on the way)” … argh well ouff … guess that means no more maintenance/updates (Actually that’s not cool of you TBH, 3 years isn’t THAT old ((this said mid 2022)) … funny thing is, digital apps eventually become unusable/unavailable for various reasons, on ios in particular, but old hardware can still work. It should be the other way around! … IOW nice tho’ this synth might have been it’s gonna become junk one day. So now Gonna stop using it altogether to aid the weaning process. (That would also apply to their other older apps) Pity… & I’m not particularly interested in their newer apps …
Magnificent
Has enabled my sing creation to reach a higher level 😎😀🎶
Lovely sounds
Please don’t take as a complaint - just purchased and playing with it a couple of times have had several crashes when changing sounds. New budget 2021 ipad 64gb. It wont bother me too much atm cos I’m home recordist.

Not just another
Just get it. It’s great.
unusable
every 2 months I give this another try, and it still keeps crashing. Great sounds, but software stability is junk
Auv3 doesn’t work
A truly wonderful synth, but the fact that auv3 is utterly broken when using with GarageBand renders it all but useless to me. It seems to record all the midi notes fine, but the moment you close the app you can kiss them goodbye. When you reopen it the notes are still there but zero sound. Maddening. And I’m sad about that as, like I said, it’s just beautiful.
