Absolute Joy to use. No-brainer for any musician/producer

This instrument in phenomenal.
Well done folks!

Having been a Nord Lead owner, this was a no-brainer for me to try out.
I have to say, the results are absolutely fantastic. It’s pretty easy and approachable to use for anyone familiar with analogue/subtractive synthesis. For total beginners, the range of included sound presets is great. A few updates have added more preset sounds too.

For in-depth editing, there are some times you have to flip between different pages to get access to the full range of parameters. And some parameters (ie: LFO’s) end up getting spread across multiple pages.
Some hidden little gems in this synth too, like choosing if the Arpeggiator or pitchbend goes to just 1 oscillator, or both.

You can easily create/edit/store/share your preset sounds.
First step I recommend: use the “roll the dice” to randomly jump through presets.

Lastly: The SOUND! It sounds really really good!

A must have even if it was 3 times the price.

Knocked out of park…

For the cost of a Latte, AudioKit gives me a synth with sounds and sound design that rival any VST or Desktop AU I own. And I have a lot of them.

The sounds are hugely varied, my favourites so far being the lovely and eerie pads with subtle modulation and a good chunk of the brittle jig ends beautifully rolled off.

Matthew Fecher is a supremely gifted and generous developer, and for anyone out there who still somehow believes that iOS instruments and FX cannot compete with their “larger” desktop counterparts, start right here. You will be blown away at the expansive sound design and the thoughtful way his stuff is put together.

Get it!
