Developer Matthew Fecher shared this sneak preview of AudioKit Synth One, a new software synth that promises to be ‘the first pro open-source iPad synth.
Created by volunteers, the app will include MIDI support (play it with a MIDI keyboard or controller), sequencer, vintage-inspired analog filters, expressive arpeggiators, warm analog delays, and, over 200+ presets to get you started!

Pricing and Availability
AudioKit Synth One is expected to be available in mid-June 2018. See the project site for more info.
Impressive to see that it’s still possible to develop such a well designed and sounding synth for iOS by just volunteers. Well done guys! Hope it will get the most used synth for iOS!
Just saw the soundtestroom did already a pre-release look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=31&v=v_49N_o6AdE
not enough lfo’s ,,,,this needs more lfo’ s at least 6 ,also this needs to load 4 waves your own and pre-loaded waves and be full wavetable synth ,,,anything else is boring and has been done …why do they think 2 lfo’s are enough ??? it just is not enough ,i’ve had it with people making softsynths and only giving us limited lfo..
as its code they can copy n paste the lfo’s and assign them as a different string,we are being conned!!!
I think you might be more clown than audio. It’s a synthesiser to demonstrate the capability of the AudioKit library. It’s all open source, meaning anyone with an interesting in developing audio apps in iOS can use all the functionality packed in to the AudioKit library, and look at the code that went in to this synth to see how it fits together practically.
They are probably just being cheap and saving on expensive LFO code. 6 is not enough it needs at least 24 or else I am going to sue.
