iPadOS 26.2.1 - GarageBand blocked from running!
ANY SONG WITH THIS AUDIO UNIT IN IT, CANNOT BE OPENED, NOR EVEN A STEREO FILE OUTPUT! So nobody would be advised to use it, obviously. GarageBand crashes at exactly the point it would normally enter the song editor. I have sent this fault to the author/dev Audiobus Pty , by email they gave here in response. These are the most-regretted Audio Units on my iPad Pro M1. Now in 2026 along with any other issues that OS brings - plenty - GB simply states ‘Digitalism not on your ipad…’ And so despite being present in the list of instruments, with a MIDI track there, there’s nothing going to sound. Latter attempts, GB just crashes. Deleted the app and re-downloaded it (Digitalism I mean!), to no avail. Previous issues or praise:State-saving. Doesn’t hold the Audio Unit patch setting and various parameter settings inside of GarageBand (can’t speak for other DAWs). Open GB up having been happy with the patch/adjustments and Digitalism says ‘welcome’ in the patch readout…tap on that, it comes up with the CORRECT patch, so you try hitting the GB ‘play’ arrow, still no sound…forces you to change the patch, LOSE ALL SETTINGS and then return to your patch! It’s a pfaff, users will just use something else - can you imagine if ALL 32 instruments in GarageBand did this?! Put the other way around, I wouldn’t dare make an entire song with Digitalism alone that would be about 160 extra taps every time just to get this AudioKit offering to make its sounds! Come on, replace this Audio Unit or fix it, pretty please.

Good app
This app is so good for creating sounds pads with two sounds
5 stars... but
Messed up and put Digitalisms review on VHS review, so I'mma paraphrase...
Absolute amazing sounding presets
Absolutely horrific and unacceptable subscription model.
Bummer that the app will never get the love it should because of the stupid subscription model- it's still a 5 star app though and they feature Mark Hupkins presets which are really fricken good.
Beautiful / lush sounds
Tons of quality presets
Abandoned by the community because of the subscription model.

The Ole Switcheraoo
I definitely used to own and have full access to this app on my iPad, yet it’s now telling me I need a subscription to continue using it. GROSS. Immediate uninstall.
bought this years ago loved it
not they want me to rent it, be a cold day in He**
Great!
A bit limited, but the less-is-more way of dialing in your sounds makes nice tones without needing to pull your hair out. Would like if there was an undo/redo button.
Changed terms and conditions
Same as vhs synth, stick it
Subscription?
Nah bruh
问一个问题
下载之后处于一直加载的状态，是什么原因导致的？
So Dissapointing
This was one of my most used apps. Some of the absolute best patches in the App Store. Nearly every project I worked on had an instance of this app. Since these new developers took over for AudioKit this synth doesn’t open in any of my projects. Whether it be GarageBand, Logic, or Cubasis. No amount of updates or deleting and reinstalling has helped. It’s such a disappointment and headache.

Subscription based 👎🏻
I paid for this plugin not long ago and now I need to pay a subscription to fully access it? Not cool.
New developer did bad to this App
They changed a fantastic App into a subscription App, added trackers and disabled use of the App without Internet access - which renders a music App pretty useless. Cannot recommend anymore!
Also, ANY change to the App gets called "bug fixes and improvements", also when just adding subscriptions as IAP or remove functionality without Internet access (or probably also in case they add it again).
Such update information is quite useless and shows the stance of the new developer. What else to say?

Love the app, but it’s no longer recognized in GarageBand, neither is the nerd sent
Love the patches included, but unfortunately GarageBand no longer recognizes this app or the nerd synth, two of my favorite apps … can’t seem to get any support on figuring out how to get it to work again … I’ve sent a few messages, but I haven’t heard anything back, I don’t know if it’s going to the right person. I have been able to use these apps in GarageBand for about a month and a half now.

Paid for app now forcing subscription, beware!
App was sold off and the new owner apparently has decided that anyone who bought this before is just out of luck, please pay 3 bucks *per week* to keep using what you already paid for. This is absolutely ridiculous.

…
I bought this app as a one-time purchase, but after the update, the developer decided to block access to the functionality, which is now available only by subscription. I believe this violates the terms of the deal, and therefore I am deleting all purchased apps from this developer and have no intention of buying anything in the future.

A fantastic synth
with fantastic soundscapes.
Ebenfalls mit neuem Abo Modell, wie alle seine Applications.
Wirklich traurig.
