  Epic but Needs Easy Bug Fix

  I’m loving the tones I’m getting out of this! However, as a drummer who’s often playing bass with my left hand, I noticed that in mono mode, you still get overlapping polyphony with a long Release. Not sure if this is reflecting the original hardware (for instance, this isn’t an issue in other apps like J6 nor King of FM which I also love), but either way, it’d be great if a future update could include a true monophonic voice mode so triggering a new note while, a previous note is still releasing, will actually retrigger the VCA instead of adding second (or even 3rd) voice.

  Sounds amazing!!!

  I have to admit that I didn’t like it at first - same old boring patches drenched in chorus, delay and reverb. But thankfully I dug deeper and what’s under the hood is truly special. The first thing is that the patches don’t fall apart when you remove the fx - they still sound full of character. This synth captures the spirit of working in the analog domain and sounds like an actual instrument full of surprises and quirks and possibilities. Does it sound exactly like a prophet 5? I don’t really care as long as it sounds alive and this synth definitely delivers when you dive deep. Some of the banks further down on the list really start to show what’s possible. And finally the added design touches really make it shine — poly unison, retro and modern filters, high pass filter, arp (but please add swing), additional LFOs and mod matrix, vintage knob, saturation, overdrive and recently micro tuning!!

  An Amazing Instrument

  This is a recreation of the classic Sequential Circuits’ Prophet 5, but the AudioKit team has breathed so much love into this app that, in many ways, it far exceeds the original while still preserving the essential character. Normally, when exploring a new app, I’ll start making patches, seeing how far I can push the synth engine. I usually make 10. With the A5, I made 20 in one sitting, and each was something I immediately wanted to use. The modulation capabilities are vast. In addition to 3 LFOs, OSC 2 can be used as a 4th LFO, or as an Audio Frequency modulation source for FM, opening a whole new set of sounds. As with many AudioKit apps, the UI is easy to navigate, and packed with an abundance of features. Need an arpeggiator? Done. A sequencer? It’s there. Need to play a Gamelan scale? A whole microtonal scale system is built in. The audio effects are simple, but sound amazing. AudioKit continues to update capabilities, improve performance, and fix bugs quickly when they show up. Also, buying their apps supports their important mission of providing free professional tools to anyone who wants to learn synthesis, or make music. Thanks, Matthew!

  Must Buy!

  The Profit 5 was an adored analog synth back in the day and AudioKit One did an amazing job recreating and updating this classic synth! It’s worth any price‼️

• ★★★★★I love loopy

  The best

  I will have to buy this twice because they undercharged

  Cool Synth from a Cool Developer

  Sounds great, great presets and the microtonal scales are a great feature. I love it!

• ★★★★★Neumuzik

  Unbelievable…. Essentially a Prophet-5 on an iPad and a phone!

  Please bring this awesome synth to macOS.

  Uninspiring

  I really don’t like the layout of the UI in the synth apps from this developer. There are too many pages and the controls are spread out across them seemingly without any logic, not neatly grouped by their function. Tons of wasted space in the UI, the controls could’ve easily been condensed into one, maybe two pages. The app sounds very very loosely inspired by that famous synth from Sequential - unfortunately it sounds anything like it. There is a level of „genericness” to all the sounds in the synth, I’ve tried several app from this developer and they all have this common characteristic and actually don’t sound that different from one another. If you already have one synth apps from this developer, you are likely ok to just skip this app.

  Outstanding!

  This is truly a great sounding synth. I’ve never been disappointed by any of the AudioKit apps, and this one is no exception. The layout is intuitive,and the sound is quality. Plenty of great presets, and the modulation opportunities are amazing. And, you can’t beat the introductory price!
