It works extremely well, sounds great, and has some excellent modern additions, like the step sequencer, arpeggiator, and digital effects. Also (very important), the developer is very responsive. Several updates have already come out, including one I requested. The Prophet V, one of the most iconic instruments of the late 70s and beyond, is on iOS. Strongly recommended. ### 5/5 — An enjoyable synth with excellent support *2026-06-30* This synth is a joy to use and is getting better all the time. When I emailed the developer about trouble importing a .scl file, he got back to me right away and it was fixed in the next release. Fantastic! ### 4/5 — Epic but Needs Easy Bug Fix *2026-06-26* I’m loving the tones I’m getting out of this! However, as a drummer who’s often playing bass with my left hand, I noticed that in mono mode, you still get overlapping polyphony with a long Release. Not sure if this is reflecting the original hardware (for instance, this isn’t an issue in other apps like J6 nor King of FM which I also love), but either way, it’d be great if a future update could include a true monophonic voice mode so triggering a new note while, a previous note is still releasing, will actually retrigger the VCA instead of adding second (or even 3rd) voice. ### 5/5 — non profit organisation 🙃 *2026-06-25, version 1.3* very prophet synth 😃 ### 5/5 — とても良く出来ています。音色セーブ時にはちょっと注意が必要 *2026-06-17* Prophet-5のエミュレーションアプリをずっと待っていました。リリースしてくれてありがとう。以前当レビューでノイズの問題を指摘しましたが、V1.3で改善されました。プリセット音色にも面白いものが多いです。 ただ、エディットした音色がUser Bank以外にもセーブ出来てしまうのは少し問題だと思います（プリセットサウンドのアップデートで、以前作った音色が消えてしまいました）。こちらも改善してもらえると嬉しいです。 ### 5/5 — Wirklich, wirklich fantastisch *2026-06-16* Was ein cooles Gerät. Die Presets sind super. Die Soundmöglichkeiten sind enorm. Es macht extrem viel Freude zu tweaken und zu schrauben. Und jetzt nach dem Update mit Microtonalen Scalen…. Einfach umwerfend. Das Vielfache seines Preises wert! ### 5/5 — Sehr gut 👍 *2026-06-16* Durch die Updates wird der wirklich außergewöhnlich ! Die neuen Funktionen sind sehr gut und fehlen mir auf dem MAC , wird Zeit das das Ding auf OS läuft. Wie alle AudioKit Synth , ein Must have fürs iPad. ### 1/5 — Another bad plugin *2026-06-15* The plugin doesn’t work with my daw you guys keep making bad plugin just make a plugin that works with any daw can’t play sound when I add it to my daw but when it by itself it plays y’all just make plugins without thinking because y’all want money once y’all fix it I’ll give it 5 stars but for now y’all ain’t getting none ### 5/5 — Sounds amazing!!! *2026-06-15* I have to admit that I didn’t like it at first - same old boring patches drenched in chorus, delay and reverb. But thankfully I dug deeper and what’s under the hood is truly special. The first thing is that the patches don’t fall apart when you remove the fx - they still sound full of character. This synth captures the spirit of working in the analog domain and sounds like an actual instrument full of surprises and quirks and possibilities. Does it sound exactly like a prophet 5? I don’t really care as long as it sounds alive and this synth definitely delivers when you dive deep. Some of the banks further down on the list really start to show what’s possible. And finally the added design touches really make it shine — poly unison, retro and modern filters, high pass filter, arp (but please add swing), additional LFOs and mod matrix, vintage knob, saturation, overdrive and recently micro tuning!! ### 5/5 — An Amazing Instrument *2026-06-15* This is a recreation of the classic Sequential Circuits’ Prophet 5, but the AudioKit team has breathed so much love into this app that, in many ways, it far exceeds the original while still preserving the essential character. Normally, when exploring a new app, I’ll start making patches, seeing how far I can push the synth engine. I usually make 10. With the A5, I made 20 in one sitting, and each was something I immediately wanted to use. The modulation capabilities are vast. In addition to 3 LFOs, OSC 2 can be used as a 4th LFO, or as an Audio Frequency modulation source for FM, opening a whole new set of sounds. As with many AudioKit apps, the UI is easy to navigate, and packed with an abundance of features. Need an arpeggiator? Done. A sequencer? It’s there. Need to play a Gamelan scale? A whole microtonal scale system is built in. The audio effects are simple, but sound amazing. AudioKit continues to update capabilities, improve performance, and fix bugs quickly when they show up. Also, buying their apps supports their important mission of providing free professional tools to anyone who wants to learn synthesis, or make music. Thanks, Matthew! ## Frequently asked questions about Pro ### What kind of synthesizer is Pro-A5? Pro-A5 is a 10-voice polyphonic analog synthesizer emulation.

The other AudioKit synths will also get this fix. Thanks! • IMPROVED: Mono mode behavior has been refined. Mono non-legato still keeps the musical analog-style response where released notes can naturally ring out, useful for Juno-style arp tails and long releases. Mono Legato now more strictly cuts off lingering release tails after keys are released, for a more traditional mono synth response. • FIXED: A few presets could play with an unexpectedly fast LFO or "mystery vibrato" after loading or saving. LFO rates now remain consistent with the knob setting. MORE FREE UPDATES and FREE PRESETS COMING SOON! ### 1.4.1 — 2026-07-08 THANKS EVERYONE! • IMPROVED: World Scales work better. The following scales are fine-tuned by experts: Chinese (Pentatonic), Çargâh, Hicaz Ascending (Turkish), Hicaz Descending (Turkish), Huseyni (Modern / Arabic), Hüseyni Ascending (Turkish), Hüzzam, Karcıǧar, Nikriz Ascending, Rast Ascending v1, Rast Ascending v2, Rast Descending v2, Saba (Arabic), Şedaraban (Turkish), Sikah (Arabic), Segâh (Turkish), Suznak [Basit] (Arabic), Pahadi Raga • IMPROVED: LFO Timing • Plus, lots of other small fixes! COMING SOON: More Updates + Almost 200 NEW professionally made presets. It'll be a Free upgrade! ### 1.4 — 2026-06-29 THANKS! Another Big Free Update. This app will get better & better! • NEW: WORLD SCALES Explore 60+ international scales with selectable root keys. Choose from Arabic, Egyptian, Eastern, and other world scales, then pick the base key that fits your song. Special thanks to Aram from TAQS.IM for the world scales! • IMPROVED: Noise Oscillator Filter Tracking Noise oscillator filter tracking now works properly. This may slightly change the sound of some existing presets, but the behavior is now correct and more consistent. • IMPROVED: Scala File Import Updated support for importing more Scala .scl files. If you still have a Scala file that will not import, please email me: matthew@audiokitpro.com • IMPROVED: Tuning and Scale Locking Fixes several tuning and scale locking issues. • IMPROVED: AUv3 State Restore Improved AUv3 state restore, especially with cutoff and resonance interactions. • NEW: More MIDI Learn Destinations Added more MIDI Learn destinations, including Filter KYBD Toggle, Resonance Tuning Toggle, and more. • NEW: Last Used Preset Bank Recall The app now remembers your last used preset bank when reopening. • FIXED: Aftertouch and VCF Frequency Fixed an issue where aftertouch could affect VCF Frequency when the LFO was also assigned. PLUS: Other small fixes and improvements. More FREE Presets, Fixes, and Updates to come soon! ### 1.3 — 2026-06-15 THANKS EVERYONE! Another MASSIVE FREE UPGRADE: ** NEW: Western Key + Scale Support ** + Choose a key like C minor, Bb, F minor, and more. Select from Major, Minor, Blues, Pentatonic, and other scales you know and love! + Keep your arps, sequences, and external MIDI locked to a Western scale or go fully microtonal. • NEW: Presets Save Their Key and Scale Want Preset #17 to always load in Dm? Now it will. Save presets with the right key signature for songs, live sets, and performance patches. • NEW: AUv3 State Saving for Tuning and Scale Your tuning and scale settings are now saved properly inside AUv3 sessions. • Tune Lock starts unlocked, so presets can load with their saved tuning. Tap the lock icon to keep the same tuning while changing presets. • Microtonal Dice improved: In Microtonal mode, Dice chooses a random microtonal scale. In Western mode, Dice keeps your current key, like Fm or C, and chooses a new Western scale around it. • IMPROVED: AUv3 Stability: Fixes several edge case crashes and improves overall AUv3 reliability. • IMPROVED: Noise Oscillator: The noise oscillator now has more hardware-like low end. I’m working on making the app better and better. If you run into major bugs, you can email me directly: matthew@audiokitpro.com Thanks! ### 1.2 — 2026-06-13 FREE UPGADE: MICROTONALITY Added! EPIC! + NEW: Microtonality Panel by Marcus Hobbs, creator of Wilsonic + Comes with 150+ Curated Microtonal Scales including North Indian, Hexanies, and scales by Irv Wilson, Marcus Hobbs, Kraig Grady, and more. + Import your own Scala files (.scl) + Features the preferred Microtonal code by Marcus Hobbs, the very code used by expensive desktop VSTs.
