AudioKit Digital D1 Synth for Positive User Reviews
✓ Quelle debut!!!I’ve only been playing around with for the last half-hour, but I think this may be my go-to synth for awhile...I’ve already learned more about how synth controls work than I ever knew before. This is a very giving instrument, it doesn’t hide, it inspires....Version: 0.9.4
✓ Almost perfect...Love the sounds the D1 and Synth One make. Haven’t even had time to make my own presents since all the presets that are in this synth are amazing. I do have a problem when using it with apeMatrix or when connecting to my Digitakt via USB. It crashes constantly when being controlled by external midi. For now I’ve been recording small loops and adding them to my sequencer. I’ll wait for further updates but I hope to make this my go to soft synths soon..Version: 1.0.7.1
✓ Great Synth by a Great CompanyNot only is the synth itself really amazing, but it does a great job combining an old technology in a new way. Makes really great pads naturally but also can be used for some faster funky stuff too. The AudioKit team is very responsive to bug reports and is committed to fixing everything they can. This is a great synth but also realize all the proceeds go to supporting the open source effort of AudioKit. They make free synths for everyone and they provide a free platform to help people make their own audio applications to their apps. I’d get the synth just to support that effort, but it also happens that this is a very nice one of a kind synth for iOS..Version: 0.9.7.1
✓ Worth the investmentPerfect integration with Cubasis. Sounds better than my Korg. Thanks fam ❤️.Version: 1.6
✓ Simply the bestAbsolutely he best synth app period (except for AudioKit SynthOne). The best sounds, the best features and now AUV3!!! If this synth app was in a plastic shell with keys it would cost thousands, but the developers have made sure this app remains affordable and available to the public. All funds go to the continued development and expansion of SynthOne which is an awesome cause! Keep up the great work 😍❤️.Version: 1.2
✓ Great stuffAwesome app Love it Only thing I’d like to see is MPE midi a support so I can use my Roli Seaboard Rise.Version: 0.9.6
✓ World Class Super Synth!!!This Dev is so unbelievably generous! I Just bought it at the early Intro price and I just got 300 free presets for being so nice! The sounds and patches of this Synth are so incredibly gorgeous. Their are truly lush pads, all made by world class reknowned music app preset sound designers lending their insane talents to this project of love! What is not to love? You will find the Synth bursting with awesome sounding presets, all packed into a well thought out, well featured Synth with sounds so sweet it even beats Halloween treats by a mile. Please support this very kind and generous Dev. Jump in early and get one of the best deals of the year with the special time limited intro pricing! I love the choir-like sounds, rousing ringing bells and the super lush pads especially so. You can’t go wrong with this purchase. It’s quickly becoming my favourite music app release of 2018 and that’s really saying something with it being a banger year for iOS synths already on offer. What’s not to love here? I am loving this synthi beastie. Dive in and join all the fun! March 2019 Update: The Dev goodies keep on coming regularly. Now I’m a Platinum user YAY! Even much more new sounds and patches added. This Dev is spoiling us. Thank you for your tireless & hard work, the results are brilliant. Still is one of the most responsive and generous Devs out there. Updated frequently, impossible to go wrong with this incredible app. Please support the Dev and pick up this synth and the rest of their apps. And check out all the fun musical goodies you will now get with them. Best of luck AudioKit Dev please keep up the top notch work, I love you guys!.Version: 1.0.5.1
✓ Digital D1It is absolutely excellent. Thank you..Version: 1.6
✓ Digital D1 - AmazingBeen around Synths for over 25 years and DD1 is simply Awesome. Love the quality and sounds a lot and just begun exploring all the possibilities.... awesome job. Looking forward to see where this App evolves. Thank You to all involved. Well worth the money. By the way .... I discovered this after getting the totally FREE App “ SYNTH ONE “ and to be honest. I am having a hard time deciding which one I like better 🎹.Version: 0.9.9.8
✓ The digital one sentHow’s it very clear in pristine sound I am learning to use it and I am having very much fun And can very much be used in different types of music I think you will really like it very much for what you can do with it I really appreciate the people who made it and I think you will too when you get it Keep your musical life this will do it W,boyd.Version: 1.3.0
✓ Amazing!!! And the expansion patches WOWThis is an absolute bargain, thank you Audiokit peeps 😍 Totally blown away and have just got lost in this for hours. Having a tea break so I’m writing a review, then back on it. And to all those that contributed patches, awesome job 🤩.Version: 1.6
✓ Another winnerFree or not free, when it’s great, it’s great. One of the very cool things about the audiokit apps is that the interfaces are all similar. I never understood a developer that has good sounding stuff to totally change the interface with every new app. If it works and most people like it, why change it and require a learning curve just to figure out the UI? Its not a fashion show, it’s about making music with as good a workflow as possible. I see apps that sound good but I don’t use for reasons like the interface having no contrast so I have to squint when I use it. There seems to be a new stupid thing with interfaces with labels that look like they are disabled. I have one app that I love the sound of, but refuse to use because it’s so frustrating. I need a magnifying glass to read parameter values. Audiokit apps are easy for me to see and sound fantastic. All around winners. Thanks mr kit, or is it mr audiokit..Version: 0.9.1
✓ EssentialI’m another who has all the iOS big guns. And my MacBook is stuffed full of softsynths. I really don’t need anymore synths. But impressed by the synth one project I thought I’d give this a try. Amazing sound quality. Rivals anything out there sonically. Within seconds I found a perfect bass sound for a dark wave track I’ve had on the back burner - exactly what I needed to spark a whole new flurry of inspiration. Beautiful..Version: 1.0.4
✓ Excellent bread and butter digital synthThis is a solid bread and butter digital synth and I’m happy to support the AudioKit project for all the other good it is doing for the iOS music community. problem with update: even with restarting the app, the AudioBus patch bank appears but is empty. Update: FIXED! mmm...AUv3 will make this epic..Version: 1.0.7.1
✓ Its good, not great but good.This is a good synthesizer marked mostly by high quality presets. beyond that it is a good synthesizer that will see very minimal usage from me without auv3. (which the devs say is coming very soon)*UPDATE. AUv3 is on its way anytime now. Since I have started using this synth more and more making my own presets, the sound design engine is so user friendly and fun to use. Certainly with Audio Unit capabilities this is one of the top 10 synths for me now. AudioKit deserve heavy praise for this achievement and the iOS community is grateful..Version: 1.0.8.1
✓ An amazingly great AppI have been using this app for some time now - it allows me to work on ideas and make beautiful sounds at the same time. It has never frozen, glitched or lost portions my work. I am amazed by the quality and versatility of Digital D1. Thank you..Version: 1.0.7
✓ Great SynthGreat synth with some of the best presets I’ve heard in a long time. Beautiful and inspiring stuff. I would lose the emojis that some patch descriptions include. They are tacky and clash with the otherwise classy and zen aesthetic of the interface..Version: 1.0.7.1
✓ WOW !!This app has become my favorite synth, and I own many! Each update makes it better and better, with much more to come. The team of talent behind it not only keeps adding great preset banks and features, but is also always responsive to questions and suggestions. Highly recommended!.Version: 1.0.5.1
✓ Still no AU supportWith so many synths out there it’s hard to find the one that hits the spot. If,like me, you love the crispy sounds from the 80s and the lush pads then you have to download this synth. I own many of the 80s synth modules but it’s just so much easier to use my iPad Pro. No cables, no pc and no large room to fit everything into. This synth is as close as it gets to the real thing and more. The only downside at the moment is no AU support which is a pain but it’s promised in an update soon. Please please please send the update soon, as many of my projects need this synth. Other than that all I can say is wow..Version: 1.0.3
✓ VERY GOOD BUT ALSO VERT BADThis D1 Is amazing but like most things created from open source, it's prone to errors. Maybe you have to many cooks in the kitchen and some of them need to be let go! I'm using this with Beatmaker 3 and for some strange reason it changes sounds out of nowhere! There are no program change messages being sent. So I have no idea what is going on. Help someone please help. I paid for the instrument thinking the free version was buggy because it was free, then I read after buying it that it was created via open source. Ahem. What is this a keyboard for Linux. I personally hate open source software due to the fact that it remains always in a " beta " form. I hope they can make the next update very soon but I will not be paying for this again in fear that it will remain broken..Version: 1.5
✓ Great synth few nigglesThe sounds you can achieve with this synth are awesome however when loading in to Auria Pro it crashes or just will not load. At the moment having to use in stand alone mode because of the instability using DAW. Gave five stars because it’s a great synth, hopefully the instability issues can be sorted. ray loop..Version: 1.6
✓ Great Synth - great development teamAll their music apps sound great - and full marks for making two of them free without any sacrifice of sound quality and features. Being on a limited budget meant I had to forgo enjoying the D1, but thanks to a generous Black Friday deal I have now been able to purchase it and support the work. Well done the team..Version: 1.6
✓ Dreams come trueI wish I had one of these instead of my Jupiter eight forty five years ago. It also comes with a very logical sequencer which is easier to program than my MC4 which I could never get my head round. This App also has lots of other sounding synths I only dreamed of owning. Thank you god, and thank you guys for bringing this to us penniless musicians that have wept into our pillows for decades..Version: 1.8
✓ Stunning digital synthCongratulations to the developers - some lovely voices in a very user friendly package that represents extraordinary value for money. One request - if you could change the default settings in an upgrade; it goes to the iPad screensaver quickly - but that aside, this is an awesome synth, one of the very best available for the iPad..Version: 1.7.1
✓ Unbelievably goodThis is an incredible app and well worth the money. You could charge more for it, in my opinion. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad you don’t. And I’m glad for countless electronic musicians out there who don’t have bottomless budgets for software and apps. This provides a very wide palette of sounds to choose from/program. I create ambient music and the pads especially have that amazing warmth and depth that I only expect from real analog. Great job with this app!.Version: 1.7.1
✓ Finally!Finally, a Synth App that gives you Usable Sounds instead pf 90% Wild and Crazy Sounds I will never use, Musically. I was saving Favorites until I realized I was saving every other one. And, then I Still kept Saving! One of the Best Synths on IOS and at the Moment, my Absolute Favorite. With these Usable Sounds, the Creativity Flows out Naturally. Just Buy It!.Version: 0.9.5
✓ Get ready to loose an afternoon in sounds explorationThis app is outstanding but what would you expect from a Company that gives most of there apps away so that everyone in the world can enjoy them after using there free apps that are just fantastic I wanted to support them by buying this and it is just great such a 80s and 90s mix of sounds for all types of music plus you get another free sound bank when buying it giving you even more sounds we’ll done guys buy this app and support these guys.Version: 1.7.1
✓ Sonically Superb & Digitally Dazzling!I have scores of iOS synths and this one would definitely be in my top five all time greats. Just tinkering with the hundreds of presets is so satisfying and it’s amazing how the patches always sound so fresh and inspirational. This is truly a ‘must have’ app for all iOS musos, and together with Synth One afford the user a most formidable array of patches capable of slotting into almost any genre of music. Go for it! Thanks for the Platinum Edition guys, nice to be appreciated!.Version: 1.0.4
✓ FANTABULOUS!I’ve got several iOS synths and didn’t intend to get anymore as I have recently upgraded from GarageBand on iPad to Logic Pro X on iMac. I read a short review by a new user who was singing its praises. I decided to give it a look. Wow! I’m not interested in programming sounds or even tweaking them. I simply want ready made inspiration. This baby’s packed with it! Even with thousands of high end costly sounds at my disposal, I find myself connecting my iPad to the iMac and using it as an instrument to play with Digital D1. It’s clean, clear, uncluttered graphics are easy on the eye and help speed up the creative process. I know this app’ can do so much more than what I use it for which I find mind boggling. YOU HAVE TO BUY THIS PRODUCT AS A BIG SHOW OF RESPECT TO THE DEVELOPERS’ ATTITUDE TOWARDS PROVIDING TOP QUALITY CREATIVE TOOLS AT A MINIMUM PRICE TO THE MASSES..Version: 1.0.8.1
✓ I think I bought the wrong APP but I’m not disappointedI didn’t know I needed 80’s & 90’s sounds. Happy accident :).Version: 1.9.1
✓ Love ItI love the sounds I’m getting out of this app. My only issue is that I’m experiencing some pretty significant midi lag. When I play the app using its built in keyboard, I get great performance. However, when I try to use a midi app or an external midi keyboard, I get lag and dropped notes when playing faster. That’s the only thing holding it back from 5 stars for me. Edit: I’m not sure what you guys did, but the latency seems to be greatly improved and I’m not noticing any crackling at the smallest buffer size. Thanks!.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Lovely soundsPlease don’t take as a complaint - just purchased and playing with it a couple of times have had several crashes when changing sounds. New budget 2021 ipad 64gb. It wont bother me too much atm cos I’m home recordist..Version: 1.9.1
✓ GreatThis is an amazing sounding synth. Only reason it doesn’t get 5 stars is due to a few small issues. When opening an existing session in AUM D1 doesn’t remember its settings. You have to open each instance for it to then refresh them. Have also had numerous occasions with D1 instances crashing in AUM. Still an amazing synth..Version: 1.7.1
✓ Adios , other synth apps....From now on when I play live or record and need great ,professional sounds...I know this synth will be the one that delivers instant inspiration. Thank You so much for what you’re doing for musicians everywhere. The quality on this one is killer..Version: 1.0.7.1
✓ TrainspotterImagine the cost of the hardware version of the three synths they have now produced. One of those companies that should be supported for innovation, anticipating what they have up their sleeve to be released next..Version: 0.9.9.9.2
✓ Nice play thingIt sounds amazing, but random crashes prevent it from being used more seriously. Still a nice play thing though!.Version: 1.8
✓ One day all synths...So many synth developers on IOS, but few producing apps as elegant, useable and great sounding as D1. So why choose it over big name rivals? Because these guys define altruistic development. They give their time and considerable skill to make something that is genuinely better than a lot of synths costing more. Nic.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Truly OutstandingI have SO many VSTs and virtual synths, mainly paid for. This is among the best. Gladly supported with some cash. I would actually buy a hardware version of this and SynthOne in a flash. Worthy of your time and money..Version: 1.7.1
✓ I’ve got a lot of soft synthsSo do I really, I mean do I really need another one, I’ve not delved deeply into many of mine and it does seem that they are all quite similar I mean how many synths do you need right? Hmmmm, well, let me tell you sunshine, if your like me, and you love synths, pads and stonking tones to inspire and enhance your ideas then well I think your one synth short.. I bought this thinking I don’t need this, And thought whhhhhyyyy as I pressed the buy it button, I’ve just had a fiddle, with my synth! Jeeeeeze some people!! Honestly, anyways it’s what I’ve been searching for. For me I’m about layers of my piano on stage, I need thickening sounds to compliment my playing, I can tweak this easily and the presets are a work of art themselves, sadly I’ve not been given a free version for this review, but I never write reviews so why would anyone.. but I am writing one now because actually they deserve it and your probably thinking the same as I did. Do I really need this synth, yes you do, and you won’t need another one. thanks guys..Version: 0.90
✓ This is D OneThe only thing I don’t like about this synth is the fact I have spent £££s on other synths before finding D1. The UI is brilliantly simple, but most importantly for me the presets sound absolutely stunning. Give yourselves a pat on the back AudioKit!.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Simply awesome- and it just got better!I’m not a keyboard player, nor am I terribly au fait with tech- I build and play cigar box guitars, and I’m old enough to be your grandfather. But I am so glad to have discovered this truly awesome invention. Contained here are all the sounds I will ever need from a keyboard, and more options than I could possibly explore. The textures are glorious, and teamed with a stripped-down three-string blues hound the wall of noise is the absolute business. It is simply not possible to recommend this app too highly- especially now it’s gone all AUv3 compliant!.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Another amazing app from the collective that's changed the world!This is a beautiful thing. An open source app made with love for people who want to create great sounds. It already hands-down beats any commercial synth on the market and it's only in its early days...just think how astonishing D1 will be as it blossoms in the coming years! Full of incredible sounds and rich creative possibilities...one could spend decades in a state of rapture exploring the profound sonic joys and luminous melodies on offer from this deeply rewarding and completely stupendous musical delight..Version: 0.9.9.4
✓ Out & out best value synth on the storeFrom the volunteers behind the excellent free analog Synth One, this onetime-fee monster synth is amazingly well specced, has awesome, curated presets, positively invites you to fiddle around to make your own sounds, and keeps on getting more free sound banks and features, with nary an in-app purchase in sight. Buying it helps them develop it further, and to bring the fun of knob twiddling to more and more people with little or no cash. What’s not to like?.Version: 1.0.5.1
✓ This is an amazing synth!I have so many synths and this really stands out instantly as one of the best iPad apps. I can’t believe how sick the modulation wheel is on almost every patch, with detailed info in the preset browser window, I love that! I will most definitely be using this in my productions. Thanks for your great additions to the iOS world and keep up the great work....looking forward to the auv3 update!.Version: 0.9.1
✓ RECORD button, por favorSo far I’m really enjoying all the extra noises I can make with this app. (Back in the day I owned a Kong 01/W.) But it really needs a RECORD button like the SynthOne app has—saving patches is less of a priority for me than is the quickest way to record the audio output. I do a lot of improv that involves manipulating settings on the fly, and capturing the output in the moment is a lot easier than trying later to re-create sounds that may have been the result of numerous smaller choices along the way. As long as I’m in wish-list territory, it would also be great to have the ability to select different scales, as in the SynthOne app. I get all sorts of interesting results by changing scales midstream; I miss that here..Version: 1.7.1
✓ Off to a great start app , Not a waste of moneyBeen spending some dough on synths apps for awhile to compare to. Some are not so great. D1 is one of the better offerings I have come across. You probably will not be disappointed. Don’t think old school sounds think thought out usable sounds. That is good.Version: 0.9.1
✓ Another classic from team AudiokitThis one takes a different approach to the normal analog emulations and goes back in time to when digital synths started appearing and captures the character very well, specifically in regard to the early Roland machines. As with all the Audiokit synths it sounds fantastic, they really know what they are doing and you can appreciate the care and attention that has gone into this. With the addition of presets by some of the best sound designers on iOS and the first class support from the team it is highly recommended. Edit: wow 😮 so many updates already and lots of fixes and improvements. This is now my favourite synth on iOS. It sounds so **** good. Some of these patches are a track in themselves and sound so polished that they good easily be used in a film score..Version: 0.9.7
✓ WowMaking electronic music is reliant on gear that’s inspiring fun and rewarding. This digital hardware synth delivers on all those fronts . It’s by far the best synth I’ve used on a I device and a classic synth period . Seriously this is legit and should be the first iOS synth you get . I downloaded the companies other offerings and can’t wait to see what the future holds for them ..Version: 0.9.9.4
✓ Terrific app and developer.It sounds fantastic as expected. Beautiful interface. As with anything like this (also applies to LayR), I always wish to be able to bring it my own audio content somehow. If that is a remote possibility, I’ll take it 🤪. Thank you very much for the superb work in any case....Version: 0.9.8
✓ Another winner from AudioKitSounds great, variety of quality presets staggering, very tweakable. Updates regularly..Version: 0.9.9.2
✓ A Top Synth AppI am very impressed with this synth app. I began by downloading the free AudioKit Pro app and was very impressed with the awesome collection of built-in presets and then decided to purchase this Digital D1 app. The presets and sounds from this app is even better. It has a top notch collection of presets and I love the interface of these Audiokit apps. Very clean and user friendly. I would highly recommend this app to anyone looking to gain a nice collection of instruments to expand their music creativity. I am looking forward to seeing the next updates and features this developer will provide us musicians..Version: 1.7.1
✓ IncredibleWhat an amazing synth, and for free! Incredible sounds and shows the power of the iPad as a on the move tool and as an external sound module in the studio. Well done to the team.Version: 1.6
✓ What sounds!Very inspiring - I’ve tried a few of the presets which are uniformly great, but got lured straight into examining all the PCM waves, what an amazing collection. I’ve saved half a dozen of my own presets already, always a good sign. And it sounds superb! This will be much used..Version: 0.9.1
✓ Go-to Synth!Just downloaded the recent expansion pack and have to say this is something else. There are a lot of synths for iOS but I’ve decided this is the go-to synth for me now. Fabulous sound, wonderful presets and a proactive dev team. All you need!.Version: 1.0.5.1
✓ Awesome !I absolutely love this. I have just spent a wonderful evening in my studio exploring the very wide rande of sounds and I am totally bowled over by the quality, flexibility and playability of this instrument. Love what you have achieved so far and this project is going from strength to strength. Thank you x.Version: 1.0.3
✓ My desert island synthI have a bone to pick. I’m spending way to much time playing the presets instead of making music. I can’t stop. This is the hands down best synth app in my arsenal. This is also the first synth I’ve spent time programming my own sounds because of the amazing depth of features. On top of that the contributions of other programmers has really enhanced the sound pallet. I do have some issues with occasional crashes with my various iOS DAWs but Matthew is really diligent to make fixes and bring loads of new features and content. I’m confident that this will be recognized as the best iOS instrument available. At a great price..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Robust synth with active developersI am impressed with the quality of this synth. It rivals options I have in my desktop that costs hundreds more. It is obvious by the fervent update pace that the developers are passionate about this project. Not content with releasing and forgetting like so many other app creators do, these folks have made several substantial updates in only a month if that. The present library is huge thanks to a free patch update, and seems to only be growing. Very glad I picked this up, and almost feel guilty for grabbing it on sale. Will look for other ways to support these guys like buying new products or expansions if they are released. Highly recommended..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Sonic heaven!Absolutely fantastic!.Version: 1.0.5.1
✓ Retro but so freshTakes me back to the 80s and those classic D50 sounds. Must have synth along with the free FM synth by AudioKit if you want to go back and relive the buzz those sounds created first time around... and all as vibrant and useful as it ever was!.Version: 1.0.8.1
✓ Superb!Blown away. Worth it just for the X-50 Fantasy preset alone..Version: 0.90
✓ Phenomenally stunningWithout a doubt, the best of the best. This app is nothing short of an incredible gift to musicians. What can I say that others haven’t already? This is the only app that allows me to experience my D50, fully enjoying its abilities on my iPad. And Digital D1 goes well beyond anything my D50 can do. It’s that good. Synth One is no less incredible. Support this project people, this is an extremely rare example of perfection. I cannot thank its developers enough, and the community that gave us this remarkable instrument..Version: 1.7.1
✓ Genial 👌🏼Muy completa! Sin embargo no la he podido usar como instrumento en GarageBand.. se colapsa al instante en el iPad Pro.. por lo demás una excelente App!!.Version: 1.7.1
✓ Auv3?Hi - just purchased this app! Love the sounds, but I thought it was Auv3? Meaning, it should run natively in GarageBand on iOS? Rather than having to switch between apps like the old IAA did?.Version: 1.5.1
✓ Another great synth from AudiokitA great addition to my iPad synths collection!.Version: 0.9.1
✓ Awesome Sounds, Easy to Setup and Sound Like a Pro!!!Worth every penny (especially since it’s on sale)! Jump on board and own one of the best synths available for the iPad, or anywhere else for that matter. Comes with a truly exciting series of preset sounds, with the ability to easily transform them and make them sound like your own..Version: 1.0.5.1
✓ Probably The best synth on IPad.All I can say is don’t let the fashion for analogue loving and rompler hating put you off. It’s a fully fledged synth engine, effects, arpeggios, an incredible number of awesome patches. It sounds magnificent. A phenomenal amount of programming depth to get stuck into. Regular updates are happening thick and fast. This is a perfect replacement for Jv1080s, D50s, Trinity’s etc.. and it’s got plenty of waveforms to do analogue sounds anyhow. I’d say it’s a must for any “keys players” out there, and a must for any genre.. it does the lot. It follows the biggest lineages in synth history and piles on a lot more..Version: 1.0.4
✓ Possibly the best App Store synth available.It’s not filled with a bunch of preset sounds that I’ll never use like most synths I own (and enjoy). These are all beautiful and practical sounds for making professional sounding and interesting music. The sounds are so lush and full. I’d been waiting for a synth like this for a few years..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Sweet incredible retrotastic glory!This synthesizer is perfect. The controls are laid out intuitively, the occasionally self deprecating commentary is… Well, we are all right there with you, little synthesizer. And the sounds! It’s like a guided tour of what the ‘90s were trying to be. An encapsulated anachronism tuned for the modern ear. Incredible. Useful. Perfect. This app is dramatically underpriced. I don’t know what the regular price will be after launch, but for five bucks I feel like I stole this. It would be a deal at $50. If they make this as a plug-in for Logic, hopefully they’ll charge a more reasonable, and much higher, price. (Note to devs: PLEASE DO THIS.).Version: 0.90
✓ This app is greatI love this app so much. It sounds great and it is easy to use. The only thing I think would add to the experience was if the two low pass filters had an envelope as well. It would allow the to make analog brass sounds through the filter as well as more sound shaping..Version: 1.7.1
✓ ImpressiveI’ve bought a whole heap of soft synths over the years so I’m very picky about purchasing new ones, but as I already own Audiokits DX synth and their excellent synth one synthesisers, I took the chance and bought this, and mighty glad I did too as it’s up to their usual quality. Intuitive, responsive and most importantly it sounds glorious. Very reasonable price too. Lots of presets to play with and a good selection of FX and filters to bash em about with, you can milk some really ethereal (or raunchy if that’s your choice), sounds out of this excellent synth. One thing worth mentioning is that you need a good late model iPad to get the best from it, no issues at all on my iPad Pro, but wont download on my (very long in the tooth) iPad mini, ( needs IOS 10.3 or above), and is a bit ‘glitchy’ let’s say, on my iPad 2. That’s the case with a lot of the better synths I own though, more than 2 or 3 notes playing at the same time and the sound breaks up..Version: 0.9.7.1
✓ Could Be Top Dog! 🐕🐕🐕🔥🔥🔥🔥This app hands down has some of the best sounds of any AU available! The only thing stopping it from being top dog is the random drop out of notes once you record a sequence. Developers, any idea what is causing this or what I can do to stop it? I really love this app but every time I make a song with it I have to replace the sound with another app which takes away from the song. Any word on a fix for this? I love this app and your others! Keep up the good and hard work!.Version: 1.7.1
✓ Great SynthThis Synth already is great ! Yes I am one with pops / hiss sound problem . But I know you will get all things fixed . And we will even see more updates making it even better. You are all great kind people ! We believe in you as you believe in us . Thank You , from the heart. Regards, TotallyKenny.Version: 0.9.2
✓ How can something so good cost almost free.Considering I have lots of Synth apps for $20 or more, the price .99 cents is remarkable. The only thing better than the price is the actual app! Some Musicians made an app a no brainer purchase! Thank you, thank you, thank you. I use it everyday on my KronosX which I think add’s even more to the quality of this app and its sounds! To good to be true!.Version: 1.3.1
✓ Great app. Yay AudioKit!Lots of great sounds. Useful addition to synths collection..Version: 1.8
✓ BEST VST FOR IOS PERIOD!First off I’m a musician not a sound engineer for movies or anything for that matter. With 400+ presets, and not like some lame presets that you’ll get from other apps which all sounds very similar and the only way to get that sound you’re looking for is to spend hours tweaking it. I have to give major props to the guys at D1 for putting in the works to create such high quality and beautiful sounding presets, and only if I really have to tweak anything it will be very minimal. Of course D1 has all those fancy tweaking nobs but who has time for that when you’re in that moment where you just want to lay down a quick melody or chords. D1 layouts are truly amazing, very simple to use especially for a guy who doesn’t like nobbleing around and this doesn’t overwhelms me at all. I CAN NOT WAIT till they release the AU3 compatible version of this app. Awesome work guys! Keep music alive even though it’ll never die. BTW, I hate writing reviews as much as I hate tweaking sounds but for this app I just have to..Version: 1.0.3
✓ AK D1...Just getting better...loving it!Hi Guys Thanks for the updates...you respond really quickly and its a joy to play with D1...the new updates are producing a greater range of sounds and music..and yes...it responds to really quick keying...will send you something...see if you can pick it out... awesome work guys....please keep going...djb (Melbourne) David.Version: 0.9.6
✓ Amazing soundsNew to iOS these sounds are amazing and I couldn’t be happier..Version: 1.7.1
✓ Love it!Amazing sounds, many reminiscent of alternative/synth music I grew up with in the 70’s and 80’s. Have no idea how to use the controls or even how to record, but it’s just fun to play around with. More than happy to purchase and further support the development of their excellent free Synth One!.Version: 1.6
✓ Your mad if you don’t !I’m a big analog synth user and to be perfectly honest I write a lot of music and arrangements on iPad then cross them over as I feel the sound hasn’t been there. Since synth one came I’ve been watching what these guys are doing and I’ve love using it. BUT THIS... it’s good, it’s really good, use it anywhere it will hold its own and there are very few soft synths I will say that about. Like I stated I’m a analog guy and this is as good as there has been to date on iOS as far as I’m concerned. You would be mad to not support this, it’s a must have and if you don’t believe me try synth one..... but be aware D1 is better in pretty much all ways, you will notice the difference. This is a quality product!.Version: 0.90
✓ Audio kitThe D1 synthesiser is brilliant. I have only just finished trying out the sounds and they are absolutely class leading. I can see myself using this synthesiser a lot. You won’t be disappointed. Douglas Bower.Version: 1.9.1
✓ 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.Version: 1.8
✓ Incredible sounds!I dont write many reviews but I am so impressed with the sound quality and the numerous extremely useful patches that I had to take a moment and post this. I have nearly 40 synth apps on my iPad Mini 4 and this one ranks right up at the top of the heap. I sent a text to my buddy telling him not to buy this app because I knew he wouldnt come up for air for days. Of course, this means “buy it right now”, which he did. I know I wont see him for a long while :).Version: 1.0.5.1
✓ Beautiful sounding synthI love the sounds of well over half of the very musical and playable presets in this synth and there are not many other synths I say say that about. I have not tried programming any sounds myself yet, but then judging by the current free analogue app, that should be easy to use and effective. Cannot seem to play the synth with any velocity control using the screen keyboard, but hope that will soon be fixed. Looking forward to AUv3 implementation and recording some great sounding instruments with this soon..Version: 0.9.1
✓ Sounds amazing!Bought this app/module to see what kind of things my iPad could do re music and becoming a virtual instrument and was suitably amazed at both!.Version: 1.8
✓ Great successI love this platform. A ton of stapled presets to play with. Not the most advanced synth, but it has almost everything I need. Especially combined with the Synth One app built on the same platform. The interface is clear and I can focus or WHAT I do with the sound, not spend 90% of my time looking for my sound. This is turning out to be a great success.Version: 1.8
✓ AwesomeHands down one of the best digital synthesizers on the app store. Versatile and easy to use, the sound quality is incredible. I have used this to score two short films and a feature length film, this will quickly become your go to digital sound source..Version: 1.7.1
✓ StabilityHey can we get some stability improvements? Still a 5 star app but very often wen I’m recording the midi from this into audio it misses some notes. Sometimes it does it without trying to record as well. Please look into this. Really want this to remain my go to synth..Version: 1.7.1
✓ Rich soundsCreative and pleasant app Lots of go moments of enjoyable music creation.Version: 1.3.1
✓ One of the best soft synths aroundThis is simply one of the best soft synths around. Mainly the user interface is so intuitive and the sounds are awesome, now that the lightning adaptor output bug is fixed. I’m playing this via a Korg Plugkey using my 88 note master keyboard and it is a joy. This has elements of earlier Korg sounds (think M1) and I love it for this, but the introduction of an arp and sequencer is truly awesome. Thank you. This is my go to software synth. One down side - it’s more difficult to explain to the boss why a new Moog/DSI synth is required. Great piece of software..Version: 1.0.3
✓ CrashingAll of a sudden the app crashes after around 20 seconds of use! Don’t know if it’s the latest iOS causing the issue or not but it’s frustrating, please fix..Version: 1.8
✓ BrilHere is the thing about lot synths apps and I do have lots of them,I have found that a lot of sounds on them are not so nice I wonder why did they bother to have in the synth as you listen to them once and don’t want to hear again. This synth has lots of really nice rich sounds that you feel you can use them. And that’s why 5 stars for me..Version: 1.7.1
✓ How far we have comeAudioKit synths are really quite something, and this is no exception. Just brilliant, and designed for serious work as well as just having some fun exploring. Can’t recommend highly enough.Version: 1.0.7
✓ Simple, Smart, and Sophisticated SynthesisThe Audio Kit team has taken the best from their other development projects and created a refreshing take on the classic D-50 synth. While I’ve been doing sound design for more than 30 years, and feel comfortable tackling a steep learning curve, this system allows for quick and easy exploration of the system, and the creation of both classic and surprisingly fresh sounds with shocking rapidity. The expansive modulation matrix, brilliant filter models, and a vast array of sampled sounds, allows for a seemingly endless range of tonal possibilities, and that’s before you discover the standard waveforms. I had the good fortune, and good sense, to purchase this app on launch day, and at a fantastic discount, but it is well worth the full price. I’ll be using this system for a long time to come..Version: 0.90
✓ Totally Value for MoneyCrystal clear sounds and fx. I was blown away by quality of sound, especially considering what I paid for it - stand out sounds? All..Version: 1.6
✓ Almost Perfect but Issues With Scala FilesI love almost everything about this app and its counterpart Synth One. My only complaint is that Tune Up needs a little tweaking. When I try to import a Scala file (.scl) using the “import” button in the “tune” section of Synth One, the file is greyed out. When I change the file extension to .txt, it is no longer greyed out, but selecting it doesn’t actually load the tuning, it just closes the menu. So I have no way to import scales from the Scala archive into Synth One, and thus no way to get those scales into Digital D1 either. Tune Up is working perfectly, I can create a scale in Wilsonic and load it in Digital D1 or Synth One. The only issue is when I try to import a Scala file from the Scala archives or another third party source, the “import” feature just doesn’t work in Synth One. And because of that I can’t import it across to Digital D1 either. Once this is fixed, the app will be perfect. As it stands right now, it’s almost perfect. I’d give it 4.9999999 stars! And same goes for Synth One and Wilsonic. Keep up the great work :).Version: 1.5
✓ GorgeousFor spacey, out-of-this-world sounds, this is just the thing!!.Version: 1.7
✓ Beautiful synthHi guys just like to say I love what your doing for iOS music the synth is amazing I tried the Auv3 and at first it was very distorted but once restarting the iPad everything sounds very nice well done you deserve the five stars this synth has made my sound collection monumental now back to making some music thanks😈🙏 Lostroom vibes.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Crashes in AUMUpdated review - loads much better and amount of crashes reduced substantially after update - thanks.Version: 1.8
✓ A real impetus for creativityThe presets here are so inspiring and conducive to endless fun designing new sounds! A very straight forward and easy to navigate GUI..Version: 1.7.1
✓ One of the greats for 1/3 priceThis synth performs and has as many or more features as some of the 30-35 dollar apps, which half of them aren’t even kept up with as far as updates for new devices. Amazing sound/feel, seamless integration with everything with no crashes and minimal cpu usage. No crackles! Some apps are crackling on brand new iPad Pro 3rd gen, after paying too much for them, not this one!.Version: 0.9.9.7
✓ Incredible quality for an incredible priceThis app is excellent in just about every way possible. Beautiful sound, great UI… very impressed by everything this company puts out. The only issue I’m running into with this app and others by this company is that it regularly crashes when connected to my MacBook Pro (M1) when midi is sent via Ableton to D1 while audio is also being output into Ableton. This is all happening via a single USB-C cable. It’s a pretty major issue for me, but I still love the app and I might have something wrong on my end so I don’t want that to be reflected in my star rating..Version: 1.8
✓ Truly outstanding - A no brainier of a purchaseI’ve bought many professional plugins that don’t sound as rich as this app. The sheer breadth and range of presets is simply amazing. This is an app which keeps giving both in terms of regular developments from the developer, and in exploration from the user. Very, very impressed, much better than some at 10 times the price or more! Buy it and support them, they really deserve it..Version: 1.0.3
✓ The Best!Like many other reviewers on here I’m another bloke who enjoys his IOS synths and have bought most of the apps available. There are some excellent synths available for IPad but I have to say out of all of them, this one is pretty special..Version: 0.9.7.1
✓ Lots of sound.If you are only going to have one synthesizer app, this could be worth considering. Very versatile and not difficult to learn. The only problem I’m having is getting it to work with AUM..Version: 1.7.1
✓ Amazing toolI have to say for it’s price it is an amazing tool. Even if it was more expensive it would still be Worth it. It is simple enough with more than enough tools to alter your keys any way you wish..Version: 1.7.1
✓ UsefulI’m not a big gear head, and do mostly acoustic stuff, but I do appreciate good sounds of any nature, that are expressive. Simple to use, works with Cubasis, easy to tweak..Version: 0.9.9.9.2
✓ D1 is unique!They are really trying to make this synthesizer even better that it is now. That is a difficult job regarding the facts that D1 is already a excellent synthesizer. The developer team is amazing and they will make this instrument even better. The future looks bright for D1 and I am always ready to support open source projects like this one. I hope you will do the same even if you already have more than enough synthesizers on your iPad. Thank you!.Version: 1.0.4
✓ Fantastic synthWhat a great synth. Tons of presets and they all sound fabulous. I have many iOS synths but bought this to show my support and say a huge thank you the dev team. You guys rock..Version: 0.90
✓ Wonderful sounding synthWill get five stars when it’s AU (which is promised). Well worth getting if like me you drooled over a few synths in the late 80s and into the 90s. Those lovely early digital synths were so much more characterful in many ways than the later workstations they evolved into. This gives you a feeling of those early digital synths. Don’t be afraid you Analog peeps, digital is not a dirty word and these sounds compliment those virtual analog apps that we all have loads of!.Version: 0.90
✓ This developer deserves the highest award......for the hardest working coding team, ever. Just a few days being released and many, many updates already to solve just about every bug. Amazing vision and phenomenal dedication. How good this world can be if everyone works this hard to please everyone else. Wow! Oh yeah, the synth is quite impressive, too..Version: 0.9.5
✓ Love it! Amazingly versatile synth, just missing midi clock?A great synth reminiscent of the 90s LA and similar ROMpler synth of the time. Definitely cuts above many other iOS synths on the app store. Only dropping one star though as I cannot find any way to sync the sequencer or arps from an external midi sync source. If I send sync over midi to it the app crashes within a few seconds..Version: 1.7.1
✓ Fixed! Well done AudioKit Pro!!!Thank you so very much AudioKit Pro for the latest Update, which has now completely remedied the problem with the presets, and the App is now FULLY usable! No other worries so far as I can see! What a terrific Synth this is, and you fixed it in less than 24 hours. WOW, that is impressive work! If I was able to award you all a medal - I would! Many, many thanks for this incredible effort. BTW - I didn't even have to adjust the buffer as you suggested - it wasn't necessary! All the best, from an extremely happy customer with a WONDERFUL Synth, Roger..Version: 0.9.5
✓ Wow! Amazing!I’m a music hobbyist and I have been thinking about buying a hardware synth. I found D1 and spent most of the evening listing to all the sounds. I think I can save a lot of money and use D1 for most of the songs that I will put together. If you don’t have this synth yet you need to get it. The price is right. You will get so many great sounds..Version: 1.7.1
✓ Blew me awayI’m new to virtual synths and synths in general. I took a punt on this app and it completely blew me away. There are terrific patches already installed but it was a breeze to adapt, create and save my own efforts. What I particularly liked as a newbie was the description of the patches that tells you briefly how it was created. Kudos to the developers..Version: 1.7.1
✓ Just the best synthCongrats for this masterpiece..Version: 1.6
✓ Do I need it?Did I need it? Not really (or so I thought), I have pretty much every major iOS synth going, BUT I decided to support the folk at AudioKit who have been kind enough to release a free synth too and bung a few quid their way....Imagine my surprise when I fired this baby up and realised that it is BLOODY BRILLIANT! Honestly, it is better than synths I have paid x4 as much for!!! The level of support and engagement from the developers is superb too. Keep you’re eye on this team...I see great things ahead..Version: 0.9.9.9.2
✓ IOS 14 has screwed up the interface.It would appear that IOS has screwed up the interface. Some of the knobs have stopped working (e.g. the filter knobs) and just spin around randomly. It’s very annoying and has marred an otherwise superb synth..Version: 1.7.1
✓ D1Great synth!!.Version: 1.9.1
✓ So far works great in aum and Cubasis love the sounds tooI’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 ..Version: 1.9.1
✓ IndispensableD1 is a treasured resource and has cured my hardware synth FOMO..Version: 1.6
✓ AudioKit does it againI am blown away by the quality of the presets, but when you start tweaking effects and the THREE LFO’s well, I’m done. I started marking favorites until I realized I was favoriting most of every bank. The songs that will come from this will practically write themselves. GREAT JOB GUYS!!! P.S. that lovely distortion circuit would make a great addition to Synth One, imho. Once these are both Auv3 I imagine I’ll hardly use anything else..Version: 0.9.1
