I’ve purchased everything they’ve ever made because I liked the idea behind AudioKit and wanted to support it. However, bot this as their FM AU no longer save states when I save the song. Just opened up an old tune and noticed instruments seemed to be missing. Tracked it down to this AU and the only way I could get it to make ANY noise was to change the preset. Which, of course, loses whatever changes you’d made the last time you opened it. As a result, I have to give it one star as a warning. As I said on their other app, it really doesn’t matter that it’s cheap if it doesn’t work (or, at some point in the future, won’t work because their efforts are focused on their new apps while these old ones go stale. Note that the positive reviews are from YEARS ago. Be warned.
Fantastic app, but….
It doesn’t appear to be compatible with either the Keystep or Keylab 61.
Update 6/7/23. All’s well on the Arturia front.
Doesnt with with MIDI keyboard
All other AudioKit apps work fine with my AKAI Mini MPK3 except this one.
Very good app
I love the app a lot. The only issue is that it doesn’t work with iOS 16 anymore. Whenever I use it, or whenever I put it with AUV3 it doesn’t work. Please fix this.
“Limited Edition” (J/k!)
Pretending this is a $99 app on sale for $2.99 after it was supposedly limited edition and “sold out” - it’s too much.
Laughable amateur hour marketing.
Crashing after iOS 14 update
Opens normally when it’s standalone but crashes as AU within other apps.
Less is Everything
When these guys make an app they do it very well .
I remember downloading the first AudioKit app before they updated it and I already liked it mainly because the beautiful reverb effect they have is unlike any I’ve heard anywhere else.
That was the key to making even the blandest sound , full and vibrant, they only got better and more creative from there....so I know that this retro piano sounds awesome now ,....just wait till they work on it and spruce it up , I play around with all the big name items in the synth realm and AudioKit came in short time and surpassed all of them. Thanks for creating great toys for us grown azzz adults.
One more day to complain
As another reviewer said, if you want a great acoustic piano sound for free, open GB. It’s all there. You can even add vinyl scratches if you’d like.
But that’s not the point!
This is a piano/synth mix. You control the mix & vinyl & the tone. It sounds great. I didn’t need this sound but now that I have it.... I find needs for it. Solid, modern r&b/hip hop piano/synth sample sound that been in vogue for many years.
This is free. For those that must look a gift horse in the mouth, don’t use what little creative energy you have remaining to write bad reviews. Use it to find an app w/ a subscription so you can pay monthly to justify calling yourself a “musician”.
For those that want to support devs that are doing what they can to provide rare, genuinely EQUITABLE OPPORTUNITIES for musicians to create with hi quality, low cost apps, unhindered by greed & economics, I hope you already got this because it will no longer be available by the time this posts.
Unexpected Surprise... 😎
I have purchased and downloaded a number of your apps before, and have found them ranging from interesting to mindblowing – in varying degrees. Synth One is a masterpiece IMO. I can see if people were expecting this to be more “standard piano sounds“ they might be a bit disappointed. For me, however, it was just the opposite! And although I would love to have a few minor additions – such as ‘attack-time’, and stretch/micro tunings (pretty pleeez! 🙏🏼), within a few moments of playing with the controls, I made these wonderfully gritty/rich “hint of a piano” textures drenched in crunch, and reverb – that sound delicious in the bass registers. 😎 If there were a way to patch the sequencer and arpeggiator or features from SynthOne into here... that would be the icing on the cake.
As for those complaining “that it’s not up to par” – perhaps they were expecting a more standard electric and acoustic piano set?? This is F R E E. If you want all those standard piano sounds etc. why not just open GarageBand (which, sounds great, btw), or find one of the 30 or so electric and acoustic-piano “simulation” apps out there?
Simply cut your losses (none!), delete the app, and move on to the next one. Life is too short to waste time on crappy reviews for apps one didn’t even pay for.
