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

    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

    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.

    I own 20 IOS synthesizers and it is very hard to find good nuts and bolts, solid, E pianos, strings, sounds, etc. etc. Thankfully, this app has a bunch of extremely usable sounds and fills the void nicely. It’s not one of those let’s make music from Mars sound effect synths.

    So, I discovered this app after buying my first iPad Pro. I’m a woodwind and percussion player that’s been playing for decades. The sounds, to me, are amazing. The OG sounds of the classic Electric Piano/Rhodes took me back to the release of the real deal. The newer sounds are very inspiring to creators. In some situations where there’s no keys guy, I can open this app and do a little filler and the audience is none the wiser. Get a copy and leave a good word for the people who have created this app. Thanks, Frank - str8sax
  • Better than a DX but not as reliable

    Love this synth. The sounds are exactly what I wanted. The main issue is that there is not a instance of the app that it doesn’t crash on me. It happens when playing while changing presets or just changing presets period. I want to use this live but are way too nervous to do so.
