Audiobus: Use your music apps together.
What is Audiobus? — Audiobus is an award-winning music app for iPhone and iPad which lets you use your other music apps together. Chain effects on your favourite synth, run the output of apps or Audio Units into an app like GarageBand or Loopy, or select a different audio interface output for each app. Route MIDI between apps — drive a synth from a MIDI sequencer, or add an arpeggiator to your MIDI keyboard — or sync with your external MIDI gear. And control your entire setup from a MIDI controller.

Thanks for all the kind words and bug reports.
YOU ARE ALL AMAZING! 🙌
@analog_matt I love this synth!
One small issue. I can hear a click at the very end of the note release. It's easiest to hear with the sub oscillator. Turn the sub all the way up and turn up the reverb, and the click when the note turns off is very easy to hear.
What the hell? Just when I thought I had found the one to rule them all synth app in Synthmaster One now this ONE drops and it just blows my mind. The sounds, the controls, the depth.... majestic. Now I have two ONEs. Oh my....
Would love to have the option though of changing skins like GR-16 but hey... it is top notch quality for free.
Thank you Audiokit.
@Samu, Thank you so much for posting this. I've been having this issue with several apps. It's especially problematic with tiny iPhone on-screen keyboards. I had no idea if it was an issue with the app or with a setting on my phone.
You're welcome, thankfully most of the major apps have the fix already in place.
I bumped into the issue with BM3 early on before it was even released and AUM also had this 'bug' but it was fixed some time ago. There are still some apps out there that are affected by this 'bug/iOS feature' but I've done my best report it directly to the developers with variable success rate...
The easiest way to spot if an app has the fix in place or not is to swipe up from the bottom...
...if the 'dock' pops up the fix is not in place, if an 'up arrow' pops up the app is 'fixed'.
AUM only applies the fix while the onscreen keyboard is active so it can be selectively applied by the developer.
(If I recall correctly there's a thread here at the AB forum where Jonathan supplied to 'conditional' approach to fixing this).
Even Gadget got a silent fix for his 'problem' in the latest update so it is indeed something that affects the usability of apps.
Synth is absolutely wonderful.
Is there ableton link integration that I can’t find?
It's on the road map. I believe @cem_olcay was working on it. Then he got distracted with his wonderful own app, ArpBud...
Synth One is the most expensive free app ever. It is so good I felt obliged to get a t-shirt for myself and my 9-year-old son who spent a good chunk of the morning exploring the presets.
It looks more like Minecraft than legos.
Remember, toys r us is closed.
@kv331audio_bulent
SM1 has this issue apparently
I've mostly been using it as AUv3 but yepp it seems to need the 'fix' to...
Here's the 'fix' thread explaining a bit more about it.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46988469/how-to-enable-edge-protect-in-iphone-x
It affects iPad's as well running iOS11+ so it's not just the iPhone X.
Whichever, I’ve got no preference! Just as long as it looks like something sitting on my desk.
Nice looking, wonderful sounding synth at an amazing price! Like most everyone else I an blown away by the sheer quality of this. Also like many others, I look forward to AU but I think a new iPad will also be in order to get multiple instances with some of these luscious patches as my iPad Air 2 struggles a bit, with some patches when I have Synth One on a couple of tracks in Cubasis via Audiobus.
Great job @analog_matt
Yeah, the Ravenscroft piano suffers from this issue, but I imagine most people are using an external controller for that one so it might not be high priority for UVI.
Oh this is perfect, thank you!!!! (I also wish to return to the thumbs up part of the forum, but this'll have to do to express my appreciation!)
Laying in bed headphones on - need to turn this off gotta get up real early. Ah who needs sleep. Sounds fabulous big thanks to all involved!
Downloads, holds breath, checks for master tune. Ahhhhh, sigh of relief
Late to the party here but thanks for this stellar synth @analog_matt.
A couple of my hardware heavy friends are even eyeballing this one.
Found a bug: set octave range to 4 and hit the last couple keys (A8 and up), app crashes.
@analog_matt
I’m really impressed with this. I’m getting some great sounds making my own presets - haven’t even looked at those that came with it. It’s not thin or chintzy sounding at all - pretty easy to dial in some heft. A big sweet spot for me.
Review left, if I could give it over 5 stars I would! If people want to donate money for the time and awesome work put into AudioKit is there a way to do that? I know the whole premise is open source and free but I feel like I need to kick some $$ your guys way for all the hard work.
Finally got some time tonight to download and play .... first note of first preset sat me back a bit. This is gonna be something special! Smile on my face lost in the sounds and interface.
A great meld of simplicity (and logic) in workflow and richness in sound. This synth is gonna be hours of fun. Thank you AudioKit Team!!

Get yer merch people and show some love.
Grazie. Love deserved etc.
Holy balls this synth sounds gooooood! Finally got a chance to play with it a lil longer , blissing out with a seq running and tweaking LFOs and filter cutoff. Sounds just as good as the myriad of paid for synths I use all the time!
This is amazing. Would be nice to be able to redefine what the XY pads are controlling (if these are already reconfigurable, I couldn’t find the option).
Awesome!
Does anyone know if it can sync to host midi clock?
Getting lost in @brice Beasley's phenomenal patches. They're so good that I'll happily let him use my initials for his presets
Seriously though. Just lost half an hour playing with the "Dream With Me" and "Aquatica" alone
