"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.

Disappointed

KujoWanKenobi on

United States

Purchased to work with in BM3. No dice. Constantly crashes. Running on my 2nd gen iPad Pro.

Updates

Great app. Just needs more updates and new sounds added.

App shuts down

thekeylearner on

United States

App will shut down after previewing a few sounds

Not working on my iPad 9 gen plz update

gmb369 on

United States

Great app but both this and the audio kit 2 are not working here. Tried a couple emails and no response . No sound coming out. Sometimes one or two patch’s does come out sound otherwise is mute. All other apps are working they way it should. Please help me gaining access to this again

No sound

Chad Wetherbee on

App is running, but no sound. Same issue with FM2. These two apps are completely useless

Great Synth

joelraed on

United States

Not sure where to report bugs but in iPad iOS 16 and 16.1 none of the PCM sounds are working. I’ve attempted to uninstall and reinstall

The best midi keyboard app you will ever find.

Wrath ringer on

United States

Yes, that is correct, totally free of adds, totally open source giving you access to coding. And it’s free. There isn’t enough I can say about audiokit. They care about people that cannot afford a 3-5 thousand dollar keyboard. I like everything that audiokit put out. The only thing I with the wish they would of add were the touch pads that synth one has Paul

Fantastic!!!

A superb synthesizer.

What a blast

Chrisnever23 on

United States

This sent is a blast. It reminds me of digital sense in the 80s and 90s. Developer did a good job sampling. Having two layers reminds me of the Roland D50. The arpeggiate are even allows you to switch between layer one or layer two or both.

Crashes!!!

100492Wa on

United States

EVERYTIME I tried to use this app (even i updated to the latest version), it CRASHES! The other app (FM player 2) is acting up the same. I am very frustrated that I paid for this and completely useless!
