AudioKit FM Player 2: DX Synth for Positive User Reviews

It’s a free DX7!Sounds great, runs great..Version: 1.0.1

Great nostalgic soundsMy only wish would be for an arpeggiator/sequencer. Other than that, sweet 80s perfection!.Version: 1.1.4

Absolutely outstandingOne can lose hours playing with this. I’m loving the DX 7 sounds.Version: 2.5

AMAZING SOUNDS preset after presetIt has been years since I’ve felt a strong emotion while playing a synth. The sound design here is brilliant. Do not expect a cold ROMpler sound out of this jewel. It sounds organic and alive. I am...truly impressed and surprised. Wow! OUTSTANDING WORK, AudioKit. God bless you all. I will buy your paid synths. You deserve the support. We acknowledge and appreciate your passionate, painstaking effort..Version: 1.1.8

Great quality productI’m used to getting this quality for NI products on a computer but I was amazed when I heard what this synth could do. I wish I didn’t miss out on their other products but will be keeping an eye out for their future releases..Version: 2.4.1

Lemme tell yaSo, 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.Version: 2.6

FM2What’s not to like?.Version: 2.4.1

IncredibleWhen I read about the charity work that this company works on I was inspired to support it. Making music allows anyone to rise up and feel inspired to just be. Be here, there, in that moment, or simple just being. The FM synthesis of this is great. I’m still digging in but so far so good. Its going to be a long night....Version: 2.0.0

IkloosharAn inspiring and creative app - I especially like the simple layout and the accurate read out of all parameters. Thanks so much for all those who have spent so much of their time and dedication to produce this first class app.Version: 1.0.5

Beautiful.An awesome combination of DX, effects and an easily useable and flexible sequencer. Combine that with layerable sounds and.. and.. and you can be lost forever. This team is the greatest, many thanks for all of this..Version: 2.0.0

Another must-have synth 🔥Easy to use controls, auv3 and standalone functionality, plus incredible sounds makes this one winner. At twice the price this app would be worth it! Buy this, you won’t regret it..Version: 2.3

Saying THANK YOU is a small price to pay. :) WOW. AmazingSo incredibly comfy I’m finding reasons and excuses to use this sucker whenever I can. It’s awesome. Spot on! A joy to look at. The keyboard onscreen is way above par. Usable. & it’s free. No ads. No nothing. It’s not just that it’s free. It’s that it’s exceptional and superior to function than almost any other synth I’ve paid for. Get it right now. It’s so cool! And say thanks to these guys. A thank you is a small price to pay..Version: 1.1

Lovely soundI normally like to buy a synth and not use the presets, but this synth has such lovely presets I’m just playing songs using them! Hope later on to spend some time making my own sounds too!.Version: 1.1.8

Like All Audiokit Apps, Brilliant.I have the majority of them, and i may have to reload in AuM on occasion, but the value for money is superb, the sounds are superb and the tweakability is superb..Version: 2.4.1

Better than the originalI bought one of the first DX7s when they came out, had to wait weeks after putting down my deposit. It sort of changed my life. I have always loved the FM sound and have bought many of the “soft synths” over the years, trying to replicate the DX sound, some of them were decent, but attempted to get too deep, which I could not wrap my head around. After downloading Audiokits’s free FM Synth app, I finally feel the sound is back, and better than ever. In the 80’s, you had to run the DX through a chorus, delay, phaser, distortion, etc. to get a “finished” sound. Now it’s all here, capturing the right tones from the original and adding the extra touches needed to complete the sounds! I could go on...I just love it! Thank you to the developers who obviously put their heart into this project. Looking for more great things coming in your new Synth app!.Version: 1.1.4

Drains batteryGreat synth but a number of times now I’ve closed it and it’s drained my battery in the background. I have to remember to make sure it’s terminated. Other than that, it’s great.Version: 2.5

Stumbled on!I just got the latest edition of Electronic Musician. The first thing I read is the iOS monthly review of the latest apps. I went looking for another synth based on the magazine’s recommendation, and found this one instead. I have many expensive, paid apps that can either play sample based DX sounds, or create FM synthesis the old fashioned way with virtual operators. Some are 4 op, others are 6+, depending on how many virtual algorithms they are based on. You wouldn’t think that your open source freeware ROMpler would come close to any of those apps, however, I’m stating that these are the best 6 operator samples I have heard in iOS yet! Keep up the awesome work! I’ve been using iOS in live performance for years and have been waiting for this app!.Version: 1.1.4

Fm has its placeI remember working with the first DX7s in a studio which I worked thinking "these emulations are terrible " not realizing the sounds are there own thing. Now I understand where I like to utilize FM. This is so well designed and loaded with features... there is nothing negative I can say about it. Thanks for this present. super..Version: 1.0.4

FantasticEasy. To use, easy to enjoy. Great app thank you for releasing it👍.Version: 1.1.4

This is the most amazing app ever!I have no words. This is the most amazing app I’ve ever seen! Great job! And also, you have made my day! Congratulations on making the best app! this one should be rated number 1! And also i’m speechless! May I introduce myself! My name is Josiah manly! I am a 10-year-old boy! This is amazing! You should be in the top 5 synthesizer apps video! Thank you for making such a great app! Great news! I have just updated my review! To all the people that out here shout out to audio kit pro for making this possible! This is such an amazing app and to the developer! Thanks for making such a good app and even if you don’t respond, I will still love it and everything is free! Which is amazing to me! But the only thing that’s missing is beats! Except I still love it! You can respond anytime! Love you guys! 3>> WHAAAAAATTTT!!!!??? you guys! FM player 2 is out! This is so Beautiful! Thank you guys!.Version: 2.1.2

Heart's a-smilin'!Back in the day, I did some serious scoring with my DX7. How well I remember it shaking the pillars of analog heaven with its FM/Chowning mysteries, its generous polyphony, great electric pianos and romantic harmonica and incomparable, plucked jazz guitar. Now, here again is some of that joy, not only guilt-inducingly free, but to me the best expression of DX Heaven to come down the iOS pike. Ever. It is not a synth, but gloriously adds to the inscrutable DX programming interface some approachable analog tweaks: filter, reverb, tremolo, a luscious stereo widener. Free. Yikes. In a great year for apps, this little one--great-trick Clydesdale is my favorite new pony. I am hoping for some more sounds (harmonica, guitar) a IAPs. HUGE thanks to Matthew Fecher for a great holiday gift. Wish I had ten stars..Version: 1.0.1

Greater than ever!This app was cool a year ago. Now it’s great! 80’s sounds? I don’t know ‘bout that... the presets I’m making sounds very futuristic to me. Play with the LFOs and everything goes wild (same goes for D-1 and Synth One). My favourite presets are the ones I’m making because they are wild and wicked 🥴😈. Just get it (them). All hail to Audiokit!.Version: 2.1

Terrific sounds, smooth as silk.Beautiful interface, sounds. This is about what you would get from an elite software instrument developer like UVI. It is 100% free, a gift and easily one of the best freeware instrument ever given to iOS users..Version: 1.0.5

Great DX EmulationThis has some lovely sounds, especially the pianos, and plays beautifully in standalone mode. The team has done a great job. I would give it 5 stars, but unfortunately it is unstable as an AUv3 instrument in Cubasis (and as an Inter-App Audio which Apple is no longer maintaining.) So really looking forward to when this is finally fixed..Version: 2.4.1

So Far So GoodJust getting started but I’m finding it easy to navigate and the features are excellent..Version: 2.0.0

This is a GREAT sounding Synth!!!This Synth accurately plays the classic sounds of the Yamaha DX 7 Synth, which was a great one. It has great effects the allow you to take a classic sound and tweak it to create your own even cooler sounds. This is Audiobus compatible, and it’s FREE. It is very cool that these people created this for free. It is definitely worth 5 stars. Cheers to the developers!.Version: 1.0.1

BeautifulI couldn’t afford a DX7 in the 80’s now I have it on my iPad love the sound all though not too useful as I do all my songwriting on my Mac but it is still nice to have when you are away from the studio and an iPad is way easier to carry around than 40 kg of Mac Pro.Version: 1.1.4

FM2This up it’s absolutely brilliant it’s one of the best keyboard apps I have ever got I have two young girls and me trying to get hold of my iPad is a nightmare but the girls love the app they are both learning piano they spend more time on this than they do on the piano then I have to try to prise the iPad off my girls so I can have a go I love the app it’s absolutely brilliant A proper 5 star app.Version: 2.4.1

❤️💯🤟🏼🤙🏼👍🏼This is a no brainer. Sounds exactly like the hardware keyboard synth, Whitehall is a pricey machine. I love you guys if possible everyone who can should donate a love offering to the developers and or the company for emulating a perfect well designed software version of a state of the art instrument. 👊🏼✌🏼.Version: 2.4.1

A really well done FM keyboardI could never afford any of the DX synths back when they were out as hardware, but had a Yamaha Portasound VSS-100, whose organ sound I loved, and was a staple on many 4-track recordings. This instrument absolutely nails that sound, and everything else is the icing on the gold-leaf covered cake that I couldn't buy. Great app, thanks for being open source - my respects and gratitude to the musicians and developers involved in the project..Version: 1.0.6

Best preset tweakable FM synth out there updated - for free!Building on the already impressive FM, FM2 brings loads more to the party, and a great deal of user customisability, making for something that lets you carve your own mix of digital sounds out of the basic rompler design a darn sight easier than getting good original results programming an actual DX. I still prefer the ridiculously affordable KQ Dixie app for downloading, using, and tweaking the wealth of (often duplicated, frequently naff) free DX Sysex patches out there, particularly for the odder FX and atmosphere sounds - search for ‘ Dexed cart 1.0’, your one stop shop for literally thousands of sounds, just about all of them, in fact, and use an app like Document to open these directly in KQD on your iPad using ‘Open In’ without going near a computer - but for your actually musical pianos, basses, synths, and bells, this has all the bases covered, and then some, what with the layering, FX and all. Everything Audiokit has done so far, paid and free, has been utterly awesome. I love it..Version: 2.0.0

Great app, one minor issue thoughI love this app, a lot really! So far I have loved all the wonderful sounds I could achieve and it’s just, really amazing to see how much thought and detail was put into this remake of the classic DX FM synthesis sound, and among that, along with the other music apps you guys have created. And while I do love it, I have had a minor issue for a long time that I felt should be mentioned but, there seems to be a minor issue with compatibility with GarageBand as a plugin for some reason, and I’m not sure if this is just me, but I hope this may be addressed as it’s something that has prevented me from making little projects utilizing the amazing sound from this app. Once again, fantastic work! Look forward to whatever may come ahead!.Version: 2.3

It's a joyous thing!So simple to use and so satisfying to tweak, it's a great little app, especially when you run it through a few effects - FAC chorus is nice and Voxsyn a lot of fun - and I've only been messing with it for half an hour! No it hasn't got blah or blah, but it's free and with just a few controls you can produce and record some sweet sounds with it. Just excellent fun and I predict I'm going to use this a lot!.Version: 1.0.1

Love This AppI love watching this app GROW. Shows what can be done through collaboration. I also find the Audio Kit inspirational and using it within Playgrounds to be a fun way of learning about how apps are put together & how synths work..Version: 1.1.2

Amazed and Flabbergasted!I have had numerous FM synths over the years, and I was in the game when the DX7 and DX9 first came out in 1983. The first time I saw a DX7 in real life, a guy had one plugged into a Peavey TNT100 bass amp, running that fretless bass sound through it. Since then, I’ve had the original DX7 (which I still have, from ‘83), a DX7IIFD, a DX5, two TX816’s, a TX7, and several TX81Z’s. I know what FM sounds like. Guys, let me tell you, I am amazed at what you’ve got here. To make it free is a GIFT to the world. I would pay good money for this. The sample quality is stunningly good, and the effects and filters really, really sweeten the deal. The sounds that are here are the ones that most people want, and the original patches are all very, very sweet and useable. This is one of the very few patch sets I’ve come across in the last 40 years that literally EVERY sound is useable. Thanks so much guys. I’m looking forward to your next efforts..Version: 1.1.1

WonderfulUnreal. Super clean layout. Easy to use. Great sounds. And FREE!!! The world just became a better place. 🌞 These Devs deserve huge kudos and all of our support. So THANKS Devs! Go buy their new D1 Synth app too. (I did!).Version: 1.1.7

Fantastic...,.butYo- absolutely amazing. And while I give it five stars and love every aspect about it, (especially direct tracking in Garage Band) , I’ve been experiencing crashing. And since this isn’t a perfect world, everything about this app borders on perfection. Thus, this is not a critique about the app, rather just a friendly reminder to developers of this. An app so dynamic and powerful, I imagine it has a few tweaks to work out in the hardware’s ability (iPad) to process such sonic high qualities. You guys up-did yourselves. Truly a fine digital instrument, worthy of any and all caliber of musician. Big ups, G’s🤘👽🤘.Version: 2.4.1

AwesomeSounds r great. It’s not a real fm synth but it has all the classic fm sounds and ways to modulate them. %1000 worth a download 😄.Version: 1.1.8

This App Solves A Lot Of ProblemsI 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..Version: 2.6

App crashes BeatMaker 3 when used as a AUV3 pluginI love this app and it is a 5 star app, but loading in beatmaker 3 as an AUv3 causes cpu spikes that cause the apps to crash (basically every time). It started happening yesterday and I thought it was an isolated incident, but alas it is not. It happened this morning as I only had the app running as AUv3 plugin. I have uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail. If there is a way to fix or remedy please let me know. I am using a 2018 iPad Pro (new version). I have bought the other apps as well and really love them. Keep up the good work developers!.Version: 2.4.1

Amazing accuracy and no latency lag!As the owner of a vintage DX 27 synth, I had to download this app to hear for myself the sounds and compare them to the original tones from the source. They are spot on. Not to mention the other things it can do so well, such as midi trigger. This is the best of the musical offerings I have heard from the iPad yet..Version: 1.0.1

Button PressingNot long had an iPad and spent awhile with naff synths some that cost money. Then I found AudioKit WOW. Been using AUM,FM Player, Synth One and Waldorf Nave really impressed so far. Almost makes me sound like a musician..Version: 1.1.8

Good app but its not an synthIts a good app with no ads and it sounds fantastic mainly due to the included effects. If you want to play music then its first class, it's just that it's not versatile like a dx7 synth emulator would be..Version: 1.1

Just get itIf you’re looking for that FM sound, just pause reading, and go ahead and download this synth. So, while it’s downloading... Rather than having to learn the hairiness of programming FM synthesis, you can layer samples of a variety of DX patches, then edit them in ways that are probably more familiar to most users. My rating is based on my ticking through most of the patches and playing around here and there with the settings. The fifth star is missing (as of this writing), because I’d have preferred a true FM synthesizer, or an FM programming mode that I could layer with other patches here (if it’s already in here, I haven’t yet found it). It’s not a complaint, though. Especially for the price, if you’re looking for the FM sound, there’s plenty to explore here, and plenty to use, whether for gigging or recording..Version: 2.4.1

Great stuff, and free!Just exactly that, sounds awesome. (Update) Small bugs fixed promptly and features added too. Excellent work..Version: 1.0.5

Absolutely loved these sounds..As someone who used to be involved with the DX series synths, these sounds brought many, many memories back to me. Thank you for that and yes, the sounds are still great! You kids don’t know how lucky you are with all this technology!.Version: 1.1.6

Great professional keyboard unbelievableThanks for a wonderful professional keyboard with a unbelievable great sounds too. This must have taken a long time to create Loads and loads of options I play along to Apple Music on my iPad too. Loads of sounds loads of settings Looking forward to many more hours of playing it Reminds me of my Ensoniq sd1 Thanks Wishing you the best for the future Thanks again..Version: 1.1.8

IvorytrevFantastic synth what more can I say , great sounds including some amazing pad’s and of course the world famous DX7 EP and all for the lowest price possible , totally incredible deal guy’s , can I just please BEG you to do an acoustic piano app as I now know that having heard and experienced your work that it would be a truly unbeatable sound and playing experience , many thank’s.Version: 2.3

EnjoyableVersatile and nice to play.Version: 2.4.1

Brilliant free appReally well thought out app which is better than some of the paid synth apps available. Been enjoying messing around with this. Seems to work well with the Roland A-49 midi keyboard..Version: 1.1.4

I would have happily paid for this AppI can’t believe this App is free! It covers many classic sounds that other Apps have tried to emulate - but much more accurately. Stunning! And thank you!.Version: 1.1.8

Hmmm...I'd give this the full 5 stars as it IS a brilliant synth, but I really can't see much of a difference between this, and the other (equally good) Audiokit Digital D1 Synth, they look identical to my laymans eyes. I just don't understand why, (assuming there ARE significant changes/improvements 'under the hood'), that they haven't just updated the existing synth? Confusing... p.s. Why the constant pop-up asking me to review it? (Even AFTER leaving a review... as much as I like this, I can only leave one review & its becoming pretty irritating seeing it so often)..Version: 2.3

Great SoundThe thing that bugs me is that the fact that this guy is free means that all criticism is left out. The foolish review writers who take off a star for every feature that is not 100% perfect are not writing their foolish reviews. Being free is an incredible thing. If it cost 99 cents we would see a few negative reviews or at least some negative comments. Luckily this app is fantastic. The sound is perfect even if it wasn’t free. Thanks for doing this. So many more people will find out what great sound is instead of only raving about how cheap an app is. You guys are doing a wonderful thing. This app belongs in a list of best apps, not best free apps. Is free and 99 cents the same thing? Anything that costs less than the price of a coffee and donut should be considered as free. Have fun everyone!.Version: 1.1.4

Full featured and richThis synth has tons of features (still exploring after over a year) with really rich sound synthesis. Loads of presets to work off of that range from beautiful atmospheric pads to plucky bleeps, blips, and percussion. I don’t buy apps ever, but the quality justifies the price. Still haven’t figured out midi, but recording lines off of this into ableton really expanded my experience in producing bass lines, ARPd patterns, and spacious melodies. Dig it..Version: 2.3

Lovely.Not everyone has fond memories of the DX7. Yamaha were always accused, in retrospect, of making a cold, sterile instrument. I disagree. Some of the beautiful glassy sounds on this are incredibly musical. It Bites used this a lot . Great app.Version: 1.1.5

Aural AestheticsThe DX7 was before my time, but if this app is any measure of the sonic sensibilities of that synth, I have no choice but to build a time machine and journey to this magical place they call...The “Eighties”. For real though, this baby sounds beautiful and is a joy to play. Great GUI and presets, easy to use yet complete. The love pouring into this project is so tangible, my iPad started to turn pink and flash little cherubs on the screen. Bravo and thank you! Can’t wait to get this into some projects :D.Version: 1.0.5

Awesome app!!!Great retro 80’s sound one of the best synth app.Version: 1.1.8

Oooo yesHas a solid look and an epic sound... Used loads of iOS synths and this is very nice and stable unlike many others..and it's free :D great sounds so far.. One thing idk like to see is a kinda NI FM7 skin, duno why no ones done this yet.. But I'm loving the sounds so far :).Version: 1.0.5

The app is prone to shutting offMy only problem with this app is the frequent shutoff. Also as of recent, im unable to bounce audio from midi when I’m creating with this app. This has been extremely frustrating. Also anytime im in my daw (bm3) and i stop the track the fm volume goes straight to 0..Version: 2.4.1

Just what I had been looking forThis is simply awesome. The presets are great quality. Takes me back to the amazement I had when I first played a DX7. The sounds are all extensively editable and you can easily assign controls from a midi controller keyboard. It supports pitch bend and modulation from the controller keyboard too. It is fantastic that there is anything like this free on the App Store. Thank you so much for making this available and to everyone who has made it possible..Version: 1.1.4

It just gets betterWhat was already an indispensable- and free!- synth has just been improved by a fine new bank of presets and added functionality. There is no excuse at all for not having this on your device, ok?.Version: 2.2

Awesome!!!Thank you for my early Christmas pressie Devs! This is a Labour of love and it shows. What a gorgeous lush sounding app. Just beautiful sounds and superb design, top notch stuff. And the bonus here is it’s ad FREE! I still can’t believe it! Please spread the word and download your copy of this gem today..Version: 1.0.1

OMG amazingOMG what a synth. I would have paid 20 X more for this iApp. It’s a must. Very accurate re: DX 7 II and fits in the same level as Arturia. Please tell me you are doing more like this?.Version: 2.6

Sounds Great but no sounds when sent to emailWhen I try to record and send a file thru email, there’s no sound from this app.. every other sound is there except anything from this app.Version: 2.4.1

Excellent Open Source SynthAd free, Open Source and free doesn’t have to mean crippled or rubbish. This is an excellent resource for any playing musician. Looking forward to the upcoming ‘one’.Version: 1.0.4

WowThis app is totally amazing, big respect to the artists and everyone that is involved in bringing something so amazing . I have lost count the amount of music apps I have downloaded over the last 7 years . So massive thank you , to all you reading this don’t just think about trying it . Download it now you will be amazed I am off to delete the other apps , because when you try this 1 . Well you won’t need any other apps it’s all totally Free there’s no hidden charges but Don’t just take my word for it . TRY IT YOU WILL LOVE IT.Version: 1.1.4

Sounds AmazingThis app sounds amazing ! Make a D-50 player next.Version: 1.1

A must have for any FM synth user.Title says it all. I can’t find fault with this soft synth. The sound quality is excellent and the tone is spot on. This is truly one of the best synths you can get for iOS regardless if you are searching for emulations or not..Version: 2.6

Incredible reliable addition to any setupI’m absolutely blown way by this app. Far exceeded my expectations and has not crashed yet. I use this app daily as part of a sky setup alongside hard synths and soft plugins on ableton. Has completely and conventionally uplgraded my musical pallet. Love it.Version: 1.1.8

Fine engineering leading the way to 2022!Still using this synthesizer due to its unlimited advantage of Bluetooth connectivity and the work load taken off of my laptop by running my synth on my iPad Pro and 12 different tracks on my iPad Air I have completely shrunk my studio and with the CAMMERA kit I can plug a full scale synth into this app and still have zero delay. Super props! I will be retuning to work. Y’all will hear from me soon..Version: 2.5

Great sounds, but has power usage issues...I love the sounds, and have been having a lot of fun playing with them! Just watch out for power issues. I wondered why my iPad Pro was suddenly experiencing drastic power usage; turns out this was the problem! I had my Pro fully charged this morning. I pulled it off the charger & stuffed it in my bag and didn’t pull it out until after 4pm. The battery was at 88%, and I hadn’t even opened up the Smart Cover! Turns out this app had used 63% of my battery usage over the last 24 hours, even though I only played with it for 5 minutes last night (and then watched a movie for an hour). Settings said it had “background activity”. I’ll say! Hopefully this is something they can fix. In the meantime, I won’t be leaving this app open in the background....Version: 1.1.8

Thank You!This is a great synth and the best part is not that it’s free but it sounds awesome. There’s no gimmick, no ads just a fully functional great sounding professional app... for free!.Version: 1.1.2

Crash problem in GaragebandAmazing big fat sounds, although unstable every time i load it up in Garageband. Cant even make it work for more than 1 minute and crushes inside the app. Cant even merge the sound. Would you repair this issue please?.Version: 2.4.1

Decidedly fabulous no matter how critical you may be.This is an absolute stunner of an app! When you see free you might think toy, but the sounds it accesses are richly beautiful, and the control of the offered sounds is first rate. I’ve only had my MIDI kb for a short time, but this makes me want to redouble my time with it. THANK YOU so much for such a wonderful tool! Don’t hesitate. Download this now! Leave these artists a review. They deserve a great one..Version: 1.1.4

Amazing bit of kit!Lose yourself in the endless magnificent sounds that is this FM Player. I would highly recommend using quality headphone to fully immerse yourself in your creations, enjoy!!.Version: 2.5

Beautiful soundsI haven’t found any other FM-based offerings with such instantly usable presets. The app doesn’t play well with inter-app MIDI though, which is a shame :(.Version: 2.4.1

I gotta hand it to Audiokit …… this one very useful synth app!.Version: 1.1.8

Wow!Coming from a hardware synth user this App actually sounds gorgeous and very deep FM for free. Lots of paid synth app I delete after trying for 5 mins on free side I do this when bored . But this little guy has tone for those jonesing for som FM on a track while saving for one. Or for someone not prepared or enough knowledge of synths yet to to spiral down the FM lane,,But love the tones this is for you.Version: 1.1.8

Presets not loading in GarageBandWay more presets than sounds but I can’t get the presets to load in garage when using this app as a auv3 update I may be confusing this with the paid app not sure but a preset tab is in GarageBand but when selecting a preset nothing happens also only have 4 banks I think have to double check but it’s not many.Version: 2.0.0

AwesomenessThe best free app ever..Version: 1.0.1

WowThank you! What a gift! I love it already and am looking forward to all the great things AudioKit is planning. Boggles my mind that this is free and I’m grateful! As a musician, it’s a real treat as well as a beautiful sounding synth. I’ve already incorporated some of the great sounds I’ve got out of this synth into new tracks I’m currently working on. Like I said, it’s a gift!.Version: 1.1.4

Amazing!Incredible that this app is free, it could be very expensive. Thank you!!.Version: 1.1.4

This is just lovely!I re-downloaded this app earlier this morning, whoosh, 2 hours just vanished in a delightful journey of audio discovery. I love this synth, thank you!.Version: 2.6

One of the best vst everTitle says it all..Version: 2.4.1

Instant GratificationThis is simply amazing! I can now re-live my 80’s Tangerine Dream era with these wonderful sounds. This will be one of my most used apps for sure as it is so addictive and true to the original sounds I could only dream of owning back in the day. Thank you so much for giving us this free synth..Version: 1.0.1

Falling in love with the DX7 all over againTake from an old fart who made his living back in the ‘80s touring and recording with a DX7, FM Player is da bomb! I’m blown away at the realism, ease of use and beautiful UI. I cannot recommend FM Player enough to ANY musician who wants to add a pure FM synth to their collection. Also, hats off to the OSS community for building this and making it available at no cost..Version: 1.1.8

Nothing free in Life? Holiday Gift!?This Synth is a gift beyond measure. A true “gift”! Unexpected, free and more than you thought it would be. I am a 40 year old graduate of being involved in sound design. I always am disappointed by IOS Synth Factory Presets. Not this time! Only 60 presets, but just like life, it’s not quantity that counts, it’s quality and this Instrument make’s you feel like you are playing the real deal. Hooking this up to my weighted 88 and it becomes even more amazing! I love gifts, but this developer deserves a financial thank you! Best Christmas gift I have received this year. Maybe Santa is behind all of this. Wow, ultra impressive! Happy Holidays indeed!.Version: 1.0.1

Amazing FM synth for free!!!Big fan of soft synths especially on IOS as I can play them anywhere. I’ve a nice collection, mostly paid for. This is a no brainier being free. It’s up there with the best. I spent a LOT of money back in the 80s on the real things including a couple of Yamaha DX models. I don’t take apps like this for granted. It’s fantastic. Thanks!.Version: 1.1.8

Great appI love this app. It has really useful sounds that can pretty much be used in almost any style of music. It also has enough parameters and effects to tweak in order to shape the sounds to your liking. And op top of all of that it’s free. What are you waiting for? Just get it!!!.Version: 1.1.4

Great stuff well worth the priceDefinitely won’t be sorry if you purchase this sounds fantastic and for the price you can’t go wrong.Version: 2.5

Joyous!I have spent a fair amount of cash on apps that don’t give me a fraction of the satisfaction this one does. My first keyboard was a DX7, so there's a little nostalgia at work. Not a lot, though, because this is better than my DX7. I can tweak it, and use some of the great effects apps out there. It shouldn’t be free. Please charge for the AU version and let us give you some dosh!.Version: 1.1.1

What more do you want ??Fantastic synth app I don’t have many true 5 star apps but this is one well done developers for the time and the effort thanks.Version: 2.0.0

All the Cool Stuff-ON AN IPAD!!I run my iPad from my IRig through a large concert pa rig in stereo. These sounds are killer. I had a DX7 and Triton and etc etc and now I carry an iPad Pro and all that stuff and more-editable and save-able and totally recall-able. Amazing work, you guys ( and politically correct, gals, undecideds etc).Version: 1.1.8

DX7 Mojo, for free.Just like the title says: they’ve reproduced the “weight” of the DX7 in a way that most desktop synths have yet to touch. And on top of that there’s a high quality effects section thrown in There are better apps for programming FM from scratch, but if you want the DX sound and that EPiano goodness, it’s here and mind-bogglingly free..Version: 1.1.8

Great little unitCrisp & crunchy sounds.Version: 1.1.8

Fantastic soundsIf it’s AudioKit it’s an immediate buy..Version: 2.3

Amazing appIts the best synth app Ive tried. I strongly recommend..Version: 1.0.5

Sounds amazingThank you so much for the gift of this wonderful app!.Version: 1.0.3

A real gemWhat a surpise find ! Straight back to the 80s with the fantastic presets. Great GUI and easy access to all the knobs and fiddly bits. Would be great value for serious money, but to be free ! What a gift..Version: 1.0.1

Absolutely beautiful!This is a gorgeous synth. I’m not expert enough to compare it to the original but the sounds it produces are truly beautiful. Operation is so simple for a relative beginner like me but there is clearly a load of depth for those who want to dive into the innards. This is now my go to keyboard for recording and live..Version: 1.0.1

Excellent a pure treat for musicians and learnersI love this. It’s an amazing piece of kit and one of the top 5 apps ever in my opinion. Whether you are a sound producer or someone who just likes music and sound. This is a fantastic audio kit as the title suggests! A definite download for anyone..Version: 2.4.1

Amazing !!!Thank you!!!.Version: 2.0.0

FabulousA dream come true to every kid who grew up in the 80’s spending hours in music stores drooling over the Yamaha DX. A great software production of the 80’s music icon..Version: 2.0.0

Love itFree verson but love the sound.Version: 1.1.8

Sounds amazing.. but..The sound is amazing, great price! .. but can’t extract songs from GarageBand files because it doesn’t load properly. I can still go in and listen to my song in GarageBand if I reload the sound bank..Version: 2.5

Totally nails “those” soundsI had a DX-7 and later a TX rack back in the day. Today I have FM synthesis apps that are great in their own right, and make 6-operator programming possible in a way the old DX interface never could. But when you want to call up those great classic sounds, nothing beats FM Player..Version: 1.0.3

I love this app!FM Player makes me happy. I love being able to use yesterday’s sound with today’s technology. I’ve always wanted a DX7, and now I have one at my fingertips. Thanks for creating this. I can’t believe it’s free, because it sounds so good, and is so easy to use. Keep up the great work!.Version: 1.1.7

It's awesome and it's free.....and that's awesome.Version: 1.0.1

Oooooh yes! 5 easy stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ + 1 ⭐️Great sounding synth and a nice, nostalgic blast from the past. I would’ve given this 5 stars had I paid for it. The fact it’s totally free compelled me to write a review in support of their app. The sound is made from pure 80’s love and very easy to tweak. These developers deserve loads of praise for giving this to us for free especially considering it sounds better than some premium priced synth apps. They get my love and tub of hair gel. If they did bring out iap’s I would gladly pay seeing how generous you are giving us all this for free. Did I mention it’s free?. Oh go on then...... It’s free! What are you waiting for?. Download it ffs Thank you devs ❤️❤️❤️.Version: 1.1.4

It won’t record in GarageBand AUv3Apple’s stupid swipe-out triggered without my consent and it deleted my long review... I just can’t win can I. I love the app but when recording it looks like it is but then it isn’t there when done. It vanishes. D1 has a similar issue. Both reset settings when switching between instruments and messing with volume..Version: 2.4.1

Amazing app and fantastic service support!Easily the best music instrument app ever. The fact that it’s free and open source with the resources to turn you into a developer/creator is chocolate milk with your complimentary donuts. If the internet was populated with folks like these cool cats, the world would be a fine place to groove with everyone..Version: 1.1.8

I wish I could rate 6 stars.Get the app without even thinking it. No need to buy overpriced hardwares. It’s literally the same. Actually it’s much better..Version: 2.3

Doesn’t workI have an iPad Mini 5 not sure if that’s he problem or not but every time I go to use this in garage band it will load up but after a few minutes of playing it will cut out stop everything and says it’s no longer installed in my “computer”. Makes it impossible to make music for me sounds nice on its own but I’m using garage band to mix my acoustic songs with the synth and yea it’s just not working paid for he app too and it’s jus disappointing..Version: 2.3

Now is the timeSo you’ve wondered what these guys are about and how the thing sounds. Now is the time to support them and be glad you did. Sounds are better than most out there. I waited far too long. Get the app..Version: 2.3

I LOVE YOUR SYNTHSI have been checking out all of your apps - you are creating amazing synths and the drum machine is great too. I have bought almost all for the apps you have made. I am building loops now and really enjoying the process. I am going to try building my own voice for the synth. Keep up the amazing work and keep me in the loop on your new stuff. Thanks for the musical inspiration!! Barry Sinclair.Version: 2.4.1

Functional. Free as in speech and beer. Fantastic.This is a no-brainer. The Audiokit guys have done a wonderful unique work here, which is so much more than a proof of concept or tech demo. Get it and use it. You’ll love it..Version: 1.0.1

FM PlayerReally liking this app and can’t believe its free. I had an official DX Plug-in from Yamaha that worked in an S series synth and was disappointed with it with it. The FM player sounds much better and benefits from additional sounds from some great programmers. 😊.Version: 1.0.1

WowI fell in love with this synth the moment I touched it!.Version: 1.0.1

WowLove the sounds and ease in using. Thank you.Version: 1.1.4

Awesome and Getting BetterExcellent app built with love and care by musicians for musicians. Thanks!.Version: 1.1

Great soundExcellent feature rich synth..Version: 2.4.1
