This has some wonderful Lo-Fi-fi sounds, is fun to use but the app will not display the last patch/ setting used in either stand alone or AU3, when reloaded. Yes, it does load the patch you were using in AU3 mode, at least, but it always display ‘Welcome’. Why the devs cannot get this right is a mystery. I was told this would be addressed, across all their apps, but it never is. So I give up. Plenty more apps that do retain settings. )-:
This synth really hits a note with me - no cringy pun intended of course. I could rant on for far too long so I’ll keep it short. The preset “Psycho 78” is worth the price alone. Excellent job
It another fun set of sounds but I do wish the Audiokit gang would invest a bit more effort into the touch keyboards. This one is the worst so far, with the black keys extra thin and much more difficult to hit than in apps like GarageBand or the Korg and Moog apps. There’s no pitch or mod wheels this time, and for some reason the top C key is missing. Most mini keyboards are 37 keys, guys, not 36.
Great fun at a reduced price, would really think it would benefit with the inclusion of a pitch bend & Modulation wheel
Powerful retro synth, amazing range of sounds, beautiful 80’s retro sound. Essential to your synth library.
So I am going to be positive and say that it is HIGHLY likely, the glaring glitch of this synth forgetting what patch you set it to, once you close up the DAW and go back in (GarageBand on iPad Pro M1 for me, iOS etc is latest everything), will be fixed soon. The sounds are pretty much as advertised, and the Orchestra Hit is a hoot as it slows down, as the pitch/note is lowered! Weird, but weird can be good. This has a ways to go, but is really nice and must have taken a boatload of sampling work, I don’t feel like criticising, so this is merely feedback, and I am giving it five stars on the basis I list the main issue as above (it’s such a ball-buster, I hate ‘patch amnesia’), and these are more bits and pieces as WIP goes forward: the C3 key I think it is, has noticeably more hiss or resonance mixed-in than when you hit the D3 key next to it (I had a real Roland Jupiter that did this, so I dunno if it’s super-accurate or the same annoying feature!), it happens for several patches; the ‘modulation wheel’ I kind of would like it actually DID something?! There’s no way I can see to obviously make the Mod Wheel do the job it often does, of acting as a kind of vibrato/tremolo, or whatever, and this is by no means the only synth in AUV3 to do this, it’s just nice if either there’s a default use for the mod wheel or there’s an easy way to make it take on some variance feature, yourself! But I really don’t want to whine, it’s possible to bash out some tunes on this, and as I say, some of the ‘faults’ actually replicate the aspects of real synths I experienced from the late 1970’s and 1980’s. This will improve, and for the intro price if I moaned I’d feel unnecessarily mean. It’s cool, there’s a different approach to tweaking the sounds to some extent with hiss and a sort of built-in tape wobble situation it seems to facilitate. Definitely interesting to dabble with, and it has a niche, cannot bring myself to synth-bash, it seems decently made (ie the leading-edge does trigger the MIDI blocks after going out and back in, this has been an issue on some synths, only fixed by double-tap on the synth icon as if wanting to play some more). It’s in the peloton let’s say, of AUV3 synths and has a place there, it’s pretty likeable.
Dass oder benetzoid ist grosse kaputznik muss. Dass Uber zuber boomber gerecht. Schnell flammėn, langseim Schön…
Saw this being demoed on The Sound Test Room, purchased there and then so much fun, would I recommend it? well it’s AudioKit and it’s less than the price of a pint………..!!!
I’m a simple man - I see an 80’s synth form Audio kit, I buy it. Assume it’s awesome by default, if not I’ll redact my rating, but I doubt I’ll need to.
