REQUIREMENTS:
Requires newer iPads for best performance. May be slow on iPad 4.
IAA is being deprecated by Apple in iOS 13. We're moving to AUv3 as well. Please replace IAA with AUv3 in your projects.
GarageBand Audio Unit (AUv3):
You can run one instance of D1 as an AUv3 in GarageBand. With a host like AUM, you can run 3 or more instances at once.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
For iPad 4 - Open the "Settings" button (to the upper left above the keyboard). Turn the buffer to 512 or above. And turn the "CPU Efficient" toggle to on. If still having trouble, try closing other music apps and/or rebooting your iPad. Thanks!

more I didn’t give this app a look because I think it was the price tag. Too low. I thought a good synth app would be starting around 10 bucks. So now that I have purchased Moog, GeoShred, basically all of Korg, Pure Acid, Streetlytron ‘63, and so many others, there are only really a select few that I use. I always passed up Digital D1 while searching for my next synth. It wasn’t until I started reading the reviews that I finally just said, “All right, I gotta check it out. “I don’t regret not purchasing this earlier, but I’m like, “man, people need to know about this app.” So people, take it from me, you are going to be knocked off your feet when you listen to what this beautiful instrument can do. There are so many friggin presets that I haven’t gotten through them yet. The sound is phenomenal. You’ll just be so amazed. I wanted to write a review purely based on the character of this company and team members. I think you’ll know what I mean when you get this app. They are kind, generous (free preset downloads), and make you feel important, needed. So It’s a pleasure to help out where I can and write a review. You have given me more than I could ever ask for. Thank you team. And peeps, really, you NEED this in your synth buffet. You better do it. Haha. Go on now!

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 a Level above ,… Come to think of it I remember when I downloaded your Audio Kit 1.0 {mach. 1 } . I loved the reverb so much , it was the best sounding and I wished I could run my guitar and vocals through that app ,..I’m happy almost every app you guys released after that still had that great canyon Reverb setting. I’ve always found the programming in the Audio Kit Apps to produce a unique type of analog signal ,..that sooths and relaxes the ear instead of being intrusive …that’s why it’s always so fun to play and always inspires a playimg session you can’t pull yourself away from to hit record. Great job throughout All the apps,..it’s proof that multiple heads are better than one … I think Godzilla would disagree however, 🏬🏢🏗️☢️🏛️🏫 🐉…🔥.🌈🦖 I can’t remember right now the name of the 3 headed dragon,…gidora maybe ??? 🤔

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.

This 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.

1.9 10/22/2022
Hello Everyone!
* This update makes the Stand-alone version more stable
* Small stability updates to AUv3 as well
* App updated for iOS 15. Note in AUv3: preset changing works fine in most hosts (AUM, Cubasis, etc). In early iOS 15 versions of GarageBand, sometimes the app needs to be loaded and restarted. Then preset changing will work. This may be fixed by the time you read this.
Hope you all stay creative and healthy.
Please take care of yourselves and your fellow musicians. :)
1.8 10/06/2021
YOU'RE ALL SO WONDERFUL! Quick Fixes:

• Added Inter-app Audio (IAA) & Audiobus support
• We're working on improving AUv3. In the meantime, we've added IAA & AB back.
• We also really appreciate everyone who got the new Bass 808 app. Its new code is helping us with this app.
• We've got more to go... We're working constantly to improve AudioKit apps for you.
Thanks for your support!

1.7 04/10/2020
Thanks Everyone! You're Amazing!
NEW UPDATE!!!
• Re-engineered to be more Memory efficient with AUv3
• Reduces Crashes in AUv3
• Better iPadOS Support
• We've got more to go... We're working constantly to improve AudioKit apps for you.
Thanks for your support!
Plus, other recent updates:
• AUv3 now mixes down and freezes in Cubasis, NS2, GarageBand, and more!
• D1 has been re-engineered to allow AUv3 in iPadOS/iOS 13
• Inter-app Audio (IAA) has been improved!
• Misc bug fixes & upgrades
• AudioKit apps will keep improving. We're working hard to make them better for you!
NOTES
* D1 is rather robust. It's a beast of a synth.
* GarageBand: We recommend only running one AUv3 instance at a time in GarageBand
* We've and optimized it so you can run 3 or more instances in one AUM project! Of course, if you go above 3 instances running at once, it may become unstable.
* AUv3 also handles MIDI better. Use your favorite iOS host like AUM to route MIDI to different instances
* AUv3 mode defaults to CPU efficient mode on, which means you don't see the knob animation on LFOs. BTW, this makes it easier to set LFO targets. This can be changed in the "Settings" button to the upper left of the keyboard
* There's a new keyboard hide/show icon that appears at the top of the AUv3 mode to make it easier to show/hide bottom panels in AUv3 mode
* We can't wait to hear the music you make with D1 as an AUv3
* The app will just get better & better - stay tuned!

"MyName.json" to "MyName.bank.json" then D1 should be able to import it using the "Import" button.
i.e. You'll need to add a ".bank" before the ".json"
* When freezing in Cubasis, if nothing appears in the audio track, try setting Cubasis to compatibly mode
* D1 is rather robust. It's a beast of a synth.
* We've re-engineered and optimized it so you can run 2, 3 or more instances in one project! Of course, if you go above 3 instances running at once, it may become unstable.
* AUv3 also handles MIDI better. Use your favorite iOS host like AUM to route MIDI to different instances
* AUv3 mode defaults to CPU efficient mode on, which means you don't see the knob animation on LFOs. BTW, this makes it easier to set LFO targets. This can be changed in the "Settings" button to the upper left of the keyboard
* There's a new keyboard hide/show icon that appears at the top of the AUv3 mode to make it easier to show/hide bottom panels in AUv3 mode
* We can't wait to hear the music you make with D1 as an AUv3
* The app will just get better & better - stay tuned!

1.3.0 07/12/2019
Thanks everyone! We're adding new AUv3 features & fixes everyday!
+ This update adds NS2 AUv3 support. And, support for smaller hosts.
AWESOME patience and kindness. You are the best users in the world!
Plus, version 1.2
+ Fixes MIDI keyboard recognition in stand alone mode
+ Fixes Support for iPad 4
+ Add support for 48Khz iPads. (Fixes pitch sounding +1 semitone on some iPads in AUv3)
+ It's recommended you replace IAA D1 with AUv3 in your projects. If you must use IAA, start D1 first standalone before adding to project
Plus v1.1.1
+ AU MIDI now receives Pitch & ModWheel
+ AU MIDI now receives MIDI CC - Use for MIDI Learn or MIDI CC Host Automation
+ When upgrading to AUv3 the first time, it's recommended you open Stand Alone first and export any of your custom banks as a backup.
+ Still not seeing MIDI input? Make sure your MIDI Input channel is on 1 or Omni. You can set the MIDI Input in the "Settings" button to the upper left of the keyboard.
+ NOTE: iPadOS Beta AU is not supported yet. But, D1 AU will support it soon
+AUv3 is here. Use D1 as an AU Plugin in your favorite iOS Host!
(GarageBand, AUM, Audiobus, BeatMaker 3, Cubasis, NanoStudio 2, more!)
+ After months of hard work. D1 has been completely rewritten. There may be some bugs. Please be patient with us. :)
+ Improved stability when running multiple instances (we don't recommend running more than 3 instances, though)
** IMPORTANT: Open update in Stand alone first to migrate your existing presets to AUv3
NOTES
* If you have backups of your banks, try renaming the banks from something like
"MyName.json" to "MyName.bank.json" then D1 should be able to import it using the "Import" button.
i.e. You'll need to add a ".bank" before the ".json"
* When freezing in Cubasis, if nothing appears in the audio track, try setting Cubasis to compatibly mode

1.0.8 06/14/2019
Thanks everyone! Big Quick Fixes:
+ Memory efficient under the hood. D1 has been re-engineered (as part of our AUv3 development efforts) and now is more memory efficient.
This will come in handy for running more than one instance in AUv3 soon...
+ Fixes issue where a large distortion / aircraft sound would randomly appear for some users. Bizarre. Now, fixed!
+ The updates the last few weeks to D1 have reduced crashes by over 80% according the crash logs. Thanks to everyone for helping make D1 better!
+ We'll always be updating and adding cool stuff to Digital D1. And, we're getting closer and closer for AUv3.
The app will just get better & better - stay tuned!

1.0.7.1 05/08/2019
Thanks everyone! We're constantly upgrading Digital D1!
* Quick Stability Fix: This update should make D1 more stable when playing with MIDI standalone.
If you're one of the people that D1 is crashing for after this update, please email us: matthew@audiokitpro.com
First try restarting your iPad. Include the preset you're using, and what you press immediately before your crash. We want to get this working for everyone.
+ Please note, that if you're using IAA, we're working on the AUv3 version every day. Which is better. And, it will be a free upgrade, of course!
+ We'll always be updating and adding cool stuff to Digital D1.

Thanks everyone! Wow. Over 60+ New Presets in this update!
• NEW BANK: Ozric Tentacles inspired Arp/Sequencer bank by Spidericemidas
• 20 New Presets added to the Sounds of Izrael bank.
These new presets make use of the new EXP-01 expansion card. Install it to get the most out of D1!
PLUS, a big upgrade in sound quality:
• Fixed issue with some presets sounding out of only the left channel.
• AutoPan functionality improved
• Arp Gate LFO Destination recalls properly when switching presets
+ We are working every single day of the week on AUv3. We're in it for the marathon. We'll always be updating and adding cool stuff to Digital D1. Additionally, D1 creator Matthew Fecher is working on a D1 Tutorial video series that should hopefully be done in a week or two.
