Ratings and Reviews
Update firmware please
Glitch or bug in program where I’m unable to sync other applicators towards keyboard synthesizer. Before I had no issues in sharing applications simultaneously to create unique vibes or even samples. Crashes upon activation of program, not sure if program is equipped to work with other applicators or just only meant for specific ones when it comes to content creations. Aside from that it has been a great tool and add on for on-the-go use or just simply working from home. The extensive amount of features are overwhelming but in a good way. Many viable options that would suite your needs and make your creations even much more unique. Perfect for all sorts from protégés to advance professionals. Hope new sounds would be introduced in the near future.
I feel like I’m back in the 80’s!!! Amazing!!!
When I heard that this app was being released, I had very high hopes for it. This app/synth did NOT disappoint. I’ve been working with it, for about two hours, and I’m hearing all of the sounds that I grew up with. (I was a teen, in the 80’s, and this was my music!) For instance, the preset “DX Bass 1’ is the exact bass, used for the song “Danger Zone”. As soon as you hear it, you’ll instantly recognize it. There’s just so many iconic sounds!!! If you’ve ever wanted a DX7, like I have, and didn’t want to pay collector’s prices for one… Now, you can!!!
You may be asking yourself, “How can an app, this true to the synths, that it’s trying to emulate, be free?” Because of the immense generosity of Analog Matthew. If you enjoy this app, please review it, and leave him some kind words!
about the King of FM app
I'm 71 years old and still own an original Yamaha DX7 which I occasionally use as a sound module with my MOXF8. I have installed this app on my iPad, connected it to my MOXF with a Roland UM-ONE, ran the Ipad 4 audio out back into the MOXF A/D in (using the MOXF's built-in effects routed to the A/D in), and disabled FM KING's effects (which slow midi response slightly) and now have a great Ipad sound module for layering the classic FM tines sound with my piano for live performance and recording.
Now to figure out how to disable midi program changes . .
Great Job Audiokit and King of FM!
