Great love letter to the 80’s and 90’s

In a world that has never been more topsy-turvy, where none of us can even agree on what the heck is going on… at least this exists. Thanks. -Kenneth

A virtual D50

Captures the heart and soul of trhis great synthesizer

Lush and deep

So I wanted a synth sound for my song writing and adding pads etc as I’m not a keyboard player I wanted something that I did not have to work hard with to find interesting sounds and easy to manipulate them for certain projects. Well D1 does the trick! I have also purchased most of Audiothing synths and keys and they just keep getting better! Their reverb app is now my go to app with it’s high pass filter it just works. Thanks Audiothing keep up the great work. Would love to see a high end piano app to make all my keys complete?
