VHS Synth | 80s Synthwave for Positive User Reviews
✓ Amazing!A very unique set of controls built in and great presets. Sounds amazing. Secret weapon material for sure..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Wow!This price in unbelievable for the amount of sounds you get. You could use this as your main auv3 and be set for a long time. 👏🏻.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Very UsefulGreat pads, atmospheres and sound effects..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Fantastic Lo-Fi GoodnessNiche sounds that nail the nostalgic buttons of the 1980’s..Version: 1.0.4
✓ Bizarre and AmazingThis is a whole Brave New World for a subtraction synthesis! Developer stays with reported issues till fixed. Now I can save Presets and am having a ‘sonic’ of a good time now!.Version: 1.0.6
✓ Many possibilities for a great priceOnce I figured out how to record using this as an AU instrument I have really liked it. I find it hard to scroll between the different settings without moving the sliders but that's my only complaint.Version: 1.0.4
✓ Killer!The AudioKit folks have built such a great community over the years and their apps are so killer; this is no exception! I’ve been perusing the presets and there are so many to choose from. The VHS settings are super cool - nostalgia in a box! Keep up the awesome work ya’ll, the $4 price tag is a no brainer for how cool this synth app sounds..Version: 1.0
✓ Audiobus/iaaIs there anyway to make this available to route directly to iaa output to FL studio Mobile like you can with Synth One? That one connects perfectly but this one doesn’t show up on my Audiobus list :(.Version: 1.0.6
✓ Excellent Synth With One Big IssueLove the vibe of this synth! Nice library of preset sounds that work really well for my style. Price is exceptionally good even at the full cost is still totally worth it. Docked one star for not being able to run it on my M1 Mac Studio. Would love to have this in my list of synths in Logic but unfortunately there’s no Mac version (would buy it if there was) and the iOS version is blocked from the Mac in the app store. I’d be willing to risk running it uncertified for Mac if it was an option 😔.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Another Audiokit bangerTons of sounds in this thing..Version: 1.0
✓ This thing is fantastic!I almost wanna give it a bad rating and review just so nobody else will find it. But I can’t do that. That would be like hiding the Bible. This app is that good. For the money, it’s as good if not better than the VERY BEST synth apps on App Store. Un-be-lievable!!!.Version: 1.0.5
✓ This is goodA lot of great sounding presets with some nice tweaks available for variety. Definitely an inspirational app. Love it! 😎👍🏼.Version: 1.0.6
✓ Top shelf.Jeez this is so good. Well done..Version: 1.0.6
✓ WORTH EVERY DOLLAR AND MORE!The quality of these synths for such a low price is something you just can’t beat!.Version: 1.0.6
✓ MIDI FX supportCan’t really get it Toruń with Riffer stand alone but in an iPad daw it works.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Very usable retro sounds. Layers!Clean, intuitive interface - typical of Audiokit. Plus the sounds are great. Also fun and quick to layer and edit..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Ok, it’s great, but the ‘forget what patch’ thing kills me!So I am going to be positive and say that it is HIGHLY likely, the glaring glitch of this synth forgetting what patch you set it to, once you close up the DAW and go back in (GarageBand on iPad Pro M1 for me, iOS etc is latest everything), will be fixed soon. The sounds are pretty much as advertised, and the Orchestra Hit is a hoot as it slows down, as the pitch/note is lowered! Weird, but weird can be good. This has a ways to go, but is really nice and must have taken a boatload of sampling work, I don’t feel like criticising, so this is merely feedback, and I am giving it five stars on the basis I list the main issue as above (it’s such a ball-buster, I hate ‘patch amnesia’), and these are more bits and pieces as WIP goes forward: the C3 key I think it is, has noticeably more hiss or resonance mixed-in than when you hit the D3 key next to it (I had a real Roland Jupiter that did this, so I dunno if it’s super-accurate or the same annoying feature!), it happens for several patches; the ‘modulation wheel’ I kind of would like it actually DID something?! There’s no way I can see to obviously make the Mod Wheel do the job it often does, of acting as a kind of vibrato/tremolo, or whatever, and this is by no means the only synth in AUV3 to do this, it’s just nice if either there’s a default use for the mod wheel or there’s an easy way to make it take on some variance feature, yourself! But I really don’t want to whine, it’s possible to bash out some tunes on this, and as I say, some of the ‘faults’ actually replicate the aspects of real synths I experienced from the late 1970’s and 1980’s. This will improve, and for the intro price if I moaned I’d feel unnecessarily mean. It’s cool, there’s a different approach to tweaking the sounds to some extent with hiss and a sort of built-in tape wobble situation it seems to facilitate. Definitely interesting to dabble with, and it has a niche, cannot bring myself to synth-bash, it seems decently made (ie the leading-edge does trigger the MIDI blocks after going out and back in, this has been an issue on some synths, only fixed by double-tap on the synth icon as if wanting to play some more). It’s in the peloton let’s say, of AUV3 synths and has a place there, it’s pretty likeable..Version: 1.0.4
✓ 4 STARSGreat fun at a reduced price, would really think it would benefit with the inclusion of a pitch bend & Modulation wheel.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Incredibly unique and warm sounding!This is truly a treasure trove of very usable sounds and samples! Grab it now while you can. I’m still going through the many many sounds, but keep getting sidetracked and inspired. Thanks for all the hard work and collaboration..Version: 1.0
✓ I love AudioKitSo this was buy-on-sight item, just as a matter of supporting the cause(s). Low-fidelity digital synths do little for me, as a matter of taste. I have no nostalgia for crappy recordings on bad equipment (not to say this synth is about such things - I’m talking about the recent fad for noisy, wobbly, otherwise-simple sounds with unnatural-sounding harmonics. Where do people go next from a fad for cheap, poorly made knock-offs of once innovative analogue synths? “Synthwave”, it appears), so it isn’t as though another taped-sound digital ROMpler. I mean, I get the way some bit-crushed and/or noisy, glitchy sounds can find evocative, beautiful and pleasingly ugly textures, but as a category it’s a lot more miss than hit. VHS Synth follows the lineage of the Digital D1, so users will find familiar features and quirks. As usual from AudioKit, the sound, grungy as it can be in this case, is vivid and well-realized. There is no unintended brittleness or artificiality. If you like the sound of purposely distorted tape recordings, especially of synthesized sounds, this product gives you what you’re after in a juicy, easily manipulated form. In fact, the simplicity of the dual-sample/source engine and interface is a great strength of VHS Synth. The source samples come with plenty of atmosphere and overtones built in (thanks to Brian Funk and the original equipment), which allows the developers to minimize the sound-design toolkit without wrecking the range of the instrument. Users can get interesting, usable results in a hurry. As for quirks, AudioKit synths retain a few after many releases and revisions. Some are more obvious than others, and none are major issues. In saying this, I admit my vulnerability to nits, but it does infuriate me to see MIDI values translated to “intuitive” percentage figures, which are then presented as a percentage-balance knob for this or that where the total of the balance DOES NOT ADD UP TO 100%. In modern computing, both systems and app developers operate on some sort of numerology according to which some numbers are frowned upon as user-setting values and others are promoted as desirable. There are several reasons this happens - none of them good. Whatever the reason, I do not want to see balance knobs showing percentage values for dividing a signal where left+right does not add up to 100%. Call me old-fashioned, but percentages are percentages of, um, 100. Left+right adding up to 200 or -200 is not attractive either. Just saying. Anyway, little quirks aside, I love AudioKit and wish I could be healthy enough to help. If you’re not thrilled with the sound of old synths noisily recorded, buy VHS Synth anyway, for the cause(s), and surprise yourself with your sound-exploration results..Version: 1.0.4
✓ Unique, amazing retro synth!Powerful retro synth, amazing range of sounds, beautiful 80’s retro sound. Essential to your synth library..Version: 1.0.4
✓ Please more backwards compatibilityGreat synth app on my iPhone, but would love to be able if i could use this on my iPad Pro with iOS13. Compatibility with iOS 13 or even 12 would be very welcome for lots of slightly older devices that still run very stable on a bit older systems, without the ability to upgrade to the higher systems to run this app..Version: 1.0.4
✓ WonderfulSaw this being demoed on The Sound Test Room, purchased there and then so much fun, would I recommend it? well it’s AudioKit and it’s less than the price of a pint………..!!!.Version: 1.0.3
✓ FantasticGreat presets, thanx..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Dass vhs teknik…Dass oder benetzoid ist grosse kaputznik muss. Dass Uber zuber boomber gerecht. Schnell flammėn, langseim Schön….Version: 1.0.4
✓ InstabuyI’m a simple man - I see an 80’s synth form Audio kit, I buy it. Assume it’s awesome by default, if not I’ll redact my rating, but I doubt I’ll need to..Version: 1.0
✓ Awesome Synth and NostalgicI was going through the presets and favoriting (starring) the ones I liked a lot and realized I was choosing almost all of them! Wow! So many great sounds! Typical of the apps from this group. I pretty much just buy whatever they put out since they are all varying degrees of excellent!.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Something specialThis synth really hits a note with me - no cringy pun intended of course. I could rant on for far too long so I’ll keep it short. The preset “Psycho 78” is worth the price alone. Excellent job.Version: 1.0.6
