### 5/5 — this is love

*2023-07-19*

ngl, i never shook off the excitement around your OG “Bass 808” and still when that specific case for the synth happens, it still sounds like.. like the no brainier go-to Bass synth if you aim at a controlled low-end at zero brain power expense - both inside the framework of 808 and completely outside of it. 

and this synth seems to be built on the concept of the predecessor and features an additional oscillator and in-house modulation options, still very recognisable vibe around both app design language and overall direction in sound design. i love it so far. 
don’t have any much more to say, really… u know - it downloads, installs, then you fire it up and it just works and easily can be called one of the best in its category after several minutes of testing. clearly, you have a deep understanding what goes into a successful development of bass-focused synths lol. it’s been 2 and both are top-notch pieces of software so far. 
thanks for them 🙌🏼

### 5/5 — Very good

*2023-07-17, version 1.1*

The Audiokit plugins after a rough start now seem really stable and up there with the best of them. Despite the seemingly limited controls here it is surprising the variety of sounds this produces. Several times going through the presets I had to stop and try and work out how the sound was made. There are some talented sound designers making presets for these apps. 
This one pretty much has you covered for your bass sounds and sequences. I like it.

### 5/5 — 🔊BEAST     🔥 MODE 🔊           SOUNDS

### 5/5 — Sooooo Good! 🎹

*2023-07-12, version 1.0*

AudioKit are absolutely on point with their AUv3 development at the moment. I’ve got this, King of FM, Digitalism and SAGA 16Bit in the last few weeks. It won’t be long before I no longer need a laptop.

Keep up the good work 🎹👍

### 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.

### 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...!!!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work properly in beatmaker3

*2024-02-08, version 1.4.2*

Won’t play certain sounds while beat is playing.. also when recording it plays no sound on some sounds..

### 1/5 — Super apps

*2023-07-30*

Merci pour la musique

### 1/5 — very basic synth..

*2023-07-16*

bad sound, bad filter, bad everything

### 3/5 — Great App with some shortcomings

*2026-07-27, version 1.9.2*

Awesome software, tons of stuff to do, tons of features and filled with ways to make art. 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.

### 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!

### 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💪🤙👌👍

### 4/5 — pretty good but wish there was more technical stuff

*2023-09-25, version 1.4.1*

really enjoying it so far but i find the lack of technical components like adding delay to a kick drum to make it thumpy or noise oscillators that add pink and white noise to give the 808 more high end weigh this apps potential down a bit. shaping the 808 using the stock wave forums isn’t the greatest either but considering 808s are usually bounced after making it in a synthesizer it’s not that big of a complaint. otherwise it works pretty well!

Incredible bass synth. What else would you expect from Audiokit?

*2023-08-14, version 1.3*

I like music apps that let me sink my teeth into them and experiment, but also feel accessible. This app has got that and it has lots of great presets with big and varied sounds. It’s super easy to tweak existing presets or create your own from scratch. It’s a playground of bass sounds. Love it. 

I’ve had support from the developer too and it’s actively developed and improved.

### 5/5 — Amazing updates

*2023-08-14, version 1.3*

One of my favorite synths of 2023, and amazing dev who takes iodates and community feedback serious . I have every app by this dev and this one is my favorite . It’s so fun to program and make patches.
