Nerd synth

Ozrick3 on

Excellent , yet again a great value app from these people , thx

I never had a n0rd but …

Animouse21 on

… this sounds great! … 🪄 ✨ … & to those complaining about integration with ios apple logic pro, in my humble opinion, audiokit pro, who offer a fair lifetime license model, & even free, should not waste their energy kowtowing that subscription based nonsense …

Great sounds

living in a wood on

Ignore the fact that this is inexpensive, it sound’s great and doesn’t crash. What more do you want?

Great but missing basic functionality

Mango4two on

I love the beautiful sounds, it’s one of my favourite synths already. Why only three stars? For 5 stars you’ll have to fix the automation recording in Logic Pro for iPad. LP f iPad has been out for nearly a year now and most synth makers have already addressed the issue but AudioKit Pro is lacking behind. An undo/redo button would be amazing too. Thanks

The price of a pint.

Abner Zzap on

Don’t hesitate. I can’t remember the last time I got as much value for £5 as this synth delivers. The presets are wonderful; great starting points too for developing your own sounds. Superb.

Superb Synth

mbt101 on

Really well designed and great sounding. I’m getting sounds out of this that are really unique which is rare in software synths.

Best Audiokit Synth

Midimania on

Wow, playing just the presets alone doesn’t do this app justice, tweaking them creates spectacular results far beyond your expectations . This has to be the best synth app from Audiokit so far ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

No aftertouch?

Splinters69 on

Great little synth and I’m having great fun with it. I realise the A1 board it’s based on didn’t have aftertouch, but could this have it to add additional movement and expression to sounds? The D1 app responds to AT so I imagine it’s possible within Audiokit. Poly AT and MPE is becoming more accessible and my Korg Keystage controller is short of decent apps that make use of Poly AT. Keep up the great work, but please do consider adding this in the future.

Absolutely stunning

Cotswold Boy on

What a full-featured Rick and warm synth. The presets are beautifully designed and the functionality is wonderfully flexible. Just a perfect app!

Looking good so far

Duped_again on

I’m already a Nord A1 owner, so am quite pleased to get a decent soft-synth version. So far, it’s sounding really good. Amazing for the money!
