AudioKit Synth One Synthesizer

This synth sounds amazing, looks amazing, has more features than you would expect, and it’s free!! This quickly became a favorite synth of mine; I’m more pleased with it than apps I’ve paid $20+ for. I’m running it on an Air 1 and haven’t run into any performance problems with this. Some features I really dig are the oscilloscope, the tuning controls, and the effects. It’s cool being able to see your sounds in real-time and not many synths—hardware or software—have that feature. The tuning page is really inspiring because you can get some nice variations while using the sequencer. And the effects sound absolutely beautiful. I also enjoy the ability to scroll through the different pages while playing the onscreen keyboard. That’s not where the awesomeness of this app ends though. I cannot speak highly enough of what Matt and the rest of the team have pulled off here. To me, the greatness of a synthesizer is judged by how immersive the playing experience is, and Synth One delivers. You can quickly get lost in playing this because it is just that good. If you have an iPad, you need this app.

I have to say, I have owned many hardware synths from Kronos to M1 to Motifs,Kurzweil. Ensoniqs(showing my age with that one lol). I open your app and am completely blown away with the level of depth and movement in some of your patches and tweak able options. I also on your paid app ,just another level together. Never thought years ago I could this quality of sound on an iPad or iPhone that sits in my lap. You guys truly love you work. I have never written a review but after reading your updates notes and listening, using your latest version...all I can say is AWESOME. Your other apps...what can I say, Just as good ...my only complaint is a persistent battery drain on my 2018 iPad Pro that would run in the background ...even if you had global background turned off. Had to go on global and specifically go into the background setting of fm player and turn it off. Trust nothing major. Have a DX on a tablet is; awesome. Can’t wait for full AU3 integration. Again keep it going and keep inspiring us to create music !

Amazing app! Extraordinarily easy to use, fantastic sounding patches, and free! When I first downloaded the app and was asked for my email address to unlock additional patches, I used the address for my throwaway account. Once I started using the app, I was so impressed with the ease-of-use and quality of patches, that I deleted the app and re-downloaded it just so I could use my primary email address for notification of any application updates. I’ve downloaded most of the mid- to high-end synth apps for iOS (free and paid) over the years and this one easily rates within my top five overall and is my current favorite. Each time I launch this app, I experiment with new patches and I’m still awestruck with how amazing they all sound. The only thing that I would ask of the developers is please, Please, PLEASE port this to macOS and consider making a pro version for both platforms. I would buy them without hesitation!

This app definitely deserves five stars one it really is free to it is what it says three well the controls the interface how smoothly it runs and it literally as I said does what it says I can plug it in is it is a medium but I can use it as a direct sound input I can use it all by itself. Oh guess what it’s free and that’s what it says whenever you ever got that app that is not full of junk and just tricks you to download it so you can pay for what it doesn’t do....??? Thank you AUDIOKIT and everyone who put it together... I have never or rarely give five stars because I’ve stars is the top you can get which means you are the best of the best what I have to say that through I search of sense media and put in any other way to help produce my mediocre talent have music this is definitely the way to go

This is a very good synthesizer. However, when I use it as an instrument in GarageBand, I have to switch back and forth between the two, which annoys me when making a song or beat over 90 BPM. I just wish that there was a way to directly load it into GarageBand like for say, Synth Master Player, which has a extension instead of just outputting the audio into a track. What I’m trying to say is instead of using inter-app audio just use Audio unit extension. Other than that, this is a great tool for musicians, especially beginners to make their own patches or sounds to use in production. Thanks to everyone who took their dear time to make an amazing product. Have been using this for over a year now and still loving it.
