That’s a big news! AudioKit Synth One is the first completely free & open-source professional Synthesizer with for iOS!

The developers of AudioKit Pro have released today their biggest project so far that will cause a stir. AudioKit Synth One is the first completely free and open-source professional Synthesizer for iOS. It’s hard to believe that an developer team releases a complete Synthesizer for free, but in this case it’s true. Four points are important: open-source, no-hidden costs, full-featured engine and available for free. Exciting here is that the engine is open to everyone. If you always wanted to build your own Synthesizer app (≠ just copying the code), then AudioKit Pro’s latest release can be the perfect foundation.

Very positive to see is that it supports independent developers in their work and motivates them to develop new apps. Also, the code serves as a learning basis on how to develop music apps without being the next programming champion. Not a developer? No problem, then you can benefit of an excellent sounding new full-featured Synthesizer for iOS. The core is based on a hybrid analog/FM poly engine and features everything you expect from a modern synth or even more. The developers will go in future even further and plan to release an update with Ableton Link, AUv3 and MPE support! Big thumb up for this big release or how would a certain person say: make Synthesizer great again and accessible for everyone!
