AMAZING

It is so good it is just like gene’s keyboard from bob’s burgers

Cool!

Dude, everything here is. Great! I love the old analog sounds, too bad most of it his behind a paywall.

Great app! One request..

Really wonderful and powerful app. One request: can you please make this Bluetooth compatible? It would be so rad to use my stereo speakers as a playback option. This would open up a wide array of possibilities. It works with earbuds but not Bluetooth speakers for some reason. Other than that, I love it!

Pretty useful

As a GarageBand user, I like to use some synth apps for more synths. Just plugins and Audio Unit Extensions in general. I get everything free I can and I’ve found some hidden gems. The only way I found this was because I looked at Fingerlab. I use Mynth and Flynth a lot, and they’re nice. I like the Random button on Mynth. But I wanna talk about the SK-51, after all, I’m reviewing it. I only got it a day ago, but I’m already enjoying the experience. However, the only thing I don’t like about the Fingerlab apps is the paywalls. That’s the only thing keeping the SK-51 from being 5 stats. It’s also nice for GarageBand. In my opinion, it’s better and easier to use than the Sampler. They both have things exclusive to them, but I still stand by what I said.

With that being said, SK-51 is a 4-star app. I would recommend.
