What can I say? AudioKit has done it again. Recommended by a sound engineer and synth musician.~ SourceCodeX

Sounds are great but…

jrfrumz on

The sounds are fantastic, but when I go to switch in the menu it crashes out every now and again. I will be happy to give a 5 star review if it’s fixed. The one I downloaded for free didn’t crash out and I purchased this one to support, because I like supporting independent creators. Thanks

NOT MEANT FOR USE AS AUV3

A. Toonguy on

In short: GET THE NEW KING OF FM from AudioKit, not this. —— This, right here, is the most important thing you need to know about this application. If you’ve got a lot of AUV3’s and you enjoy the flexibility that provides, you won’t want this, no matter how cheap it is. Notice how the 5 star reviews are years old. Currently, if you create a tune in GarageBand with this instrument, when you “Share”, THIS INSTRUMENT WILL NOT PLAY! It hasn’t worked in awhile, was hoping this latest release would fix it, and it doesn’t. Without being able to “Share” the resulting song from GarageBand, this instrument is useless. The best part about this update is that they at least finally tell you that the AUv3 problem you’re having with the app is NOT going to be fixed, it’s primarily meant for standalone use. So, while AUv3 is gaining ground across the universe of mobile apps, this one won’t be coming along for the trip, unfortunately.

Wish this was better
