My only issue is it’s not compatible with macbook. Trying to play chords in succession is near impossible on an ipad and a phone. If it ever becomes compatible i will give it 5 stars. ### 5/5 — Amazing for the price *2025-12-12, version 1.7* Can’t beat it for the price. Very cool sound and the interface is simple ### 5/5 — Great *2025-07-13, version 1.6.2* Fantastic app- great sounds - amazing creative tool from these developers and artists✌️🤩🪰 ### 4/5 — Does What it Says….Bass. *2025-05-10, version 1.6.2* Another synth I love from the people at Audiokit, great fun to play with as a stand-alone instrument, but, for me, the same problem in my GarageBand projects, at start up the extension needs reloading time and again, this may just be me but it does spoil the enjoyment a little. My other third party instruments or effects don’t cause the same problem, I’m perplexed and seeking advice on how to overcome this. Someone please! ### 5/5 — Exceptional *2025-04-03, version 1.6.2* Odd Star updates for the three apps are amazing. ### 1/5 — No show in BeatMaker 3 *2025-02-21, version 1.6.1* Doesn’t show up as plugin in BeatMaker 3 ### 1/5 — Thank You! 🙁 *2025-02-01* Lots auf AUM-Sessions borked because of name-changes of the plugins. Lesson learned: No more monez for AudioKit. ### 4/5 — 😱❤️Love it *2025-01-26* This app is absolute 🔥🔥🔥🔥 It is a must have for any music production beat making even sampling alone. For a beginner to become a pro in music production with a click of a finger making your beats to Bangers💪🤙👌👍 ### 1/5 — In impc pro 2 als auv3 *2024-08-08* WIESO KANN ICH MIT DEN PADS NICHT DIE GANZ TIEFEN TÖNE SPIELEN Das macht einen bass synth nutzlos pad A1 beginnt immer in der 2. Oktave Das ganz tiefe C1 ist auf dem screen keyboard zu spielen Aber die pads in impc pro2 haben immer ein viel höheres tuning...!!! ### 5/5 — Making Music? *2024-07-03, version 1.6* If you’re making music and you don’t have this app, you’re not making music. ## Frequently asked questions about King of Bass ### What does King of Bass do?
