Description

Epic 64-voice Virtual Analog / PCM iPad Synth Inspired by the Digital Synths of the 80s and 90s 100% of proceeds from this app go to support the AudioKit open-source project & AudioKit Synth One. *** TOP 3 iOS MUSIC APPS OF 2018 *** - Music Radar Awards (Computer Music & Future Music Magazine) ** Featured By Apple in "New Apps We Love!" ** "A Perfect Synth" - App Advice, Apps of the Week "Fans of the D-50, JD-990, 01/W, Wavestation...

Get this app!" - Sonic State, Featured D1 on Podcast & Live Video Stream DIGITAL D1 is AWESOME: • 64-voice Hybrid Digital Poly Synthesis. • Full 1+ Gigabyte of original samples recorded from analog & fm synths over 30+ years old • Stand-alone iPad Synth, plus IAA & Audiobus • Basic AUv3 Plugin support. Works best with AUM. We're working on upgrading Audio Unit support. • Space-saving Compression - The whole app is under 200mb! • Dual layers per voice. Keyboard splits. Velocity Scaling. • Vintage-style Arp/Step Sequencer that can be routed to specific layers. • 3 LFOs. Fun Routings. LFOs can modify other LFOs. • Dual Independent per-Layer filters • Plus, per-voice Harmonic key-tracked Envelope filters. "Digital D1 Sounds and plays AMAZING!" - The Sound Test Room "Rad retro synth sounds" - Cult of Mac, App of the Week "AudioKit Digital D1 is a beautiful Synthesizer app that recreates the spirit of legendary synths" - Synth Anatomy ADDITIONAL FEATURES: • FX: Glorious Reverb, Phaser, Digital Delay, Distortion, Flanger, Chorus, Crush, and more. • Perfect with a MIDI Keyboard • Ableton Link • All kinds of awesome stuff • The Sound. Oh, the sound. You won't believe it. "Digital D1 synth is pure ‘80s and ‘90s digital lushness" - Computer Music/Music Radar "Beautiful. Lush. Modern and Amazing… An Instant Classic." REQUIREMENTS: Requires newer iPads for best performance. May be slow on iPad 4. IAA is being deprecated by Apple in iOS 13. We're moving to AUv3 as well. Please replace IAA with AUv3 in your projects. GarageBand Audio Unit (AUv3): You can run one instance of D1 as an AUv3 in GarageBand. With a host like AUM, you can run 3 or more instances at once. TROUBLESHOOTING: For iPad 4 - Open the "Settings" button (to the upper left above the keyboard). Turn the buffer to 512 or above. And turn the "CPU Efficient" toggle to on. If still having trouble, try closing other music apps and/or rebooting your iPad. Thanks! Not sure if Digital D1 will work on your device?

    I’d been eyeing this and seeing it high up in the top app charts so kept skipping over due to the notes about crashing and limited auv at first, til recently it’s been consistently high up in top charts with a very Hugh rating so I decided to try it at 3.99 , largely in excitement for Brice presets and more . I also read extremely positive reviews too and have learned that sometimes less apps get low rating due to user error buying it before out knowing how to use it and then expressing frustration in a review . That said this is a great synth and I’m on a 2022 iPad Air 5th gen, no crashes .

    Great app but both this and the audio kit 2 are not working here. Tried a couple emails and no response . No sound coming out. Sometimes one or two patch’s does come out sound otherwise is mute. All other apps are working they way it should. Please help me gaining access to this again

    Not sure where to report bugs but in iPad iOS 16 and 16.1 none of the PCM sounds are working. I’ve attempted to uninstall and reinstall
  • The best midi keyboard app you will ever find.

    Yes, that is correct, totally free of adds, totally open source giving you access to coding. And it’s free. There isn’t enough I can say about audiokit. They care about people that cannot afford a 3-5 thousand dollar keyboard. I like everything that audiokit put out. The only thing I with the wish they would of add were the touch pads that synth one has Paul
