Mac AU v3 support?

Great nostalgic selection of sounds, gives me a great palette to work from! Would love to see AUv3 on Mac supported in the future, like it is for FM. Same for the others, but I can’t complain too much with the price! :) Great little ROMpler

Incredible App for Video Game Soundfonts!

I had recently bought the Bundle for both the SNES and SAGA Apps, i gotta say it’s a blast playing around with the keyboard, but i was wondering if i could know how to set it up to garage band, i have a midi i’d like to use and i want to convert the Soundfont. If you could reply with some instructions that’d be great!

Great toy synth

Great presets to add some flavour to a beat. I sincerely wish though that your plugins would also run on Mac.

Love it. Mac OS version?

Love it. Love it. Can you please release a Mac OS version?

So much 16-bit fun!

Another reviewer said it so well: You can start with the over 400 presets, or you can take your sounds to the next level in programming your own sounds! The sounds included are so retro, as found in 1980s video games, but in 2024, one can make these sounds into stereo pans, plus reverb, delay… the possibilities are seemingly endless! So what are you waiting for? Download immediately! And know that you will pay all of ONE time only, with no subscription renewals! EXCELLENT VALUE! Thank you once again, AudioKit!

I JUST LOVE THIS ONE

Is just so fun and brings me a lot memories

Wow this is phenomenal

One of the best apps I’ve ever purchased hands down! I appreciate you guys not being a subscription based service. I’m so sick of everything being a subscription model these days. Unbelievable how much you get with this app

no poly function

love the sounds on this app but unfortunately there’s no where that allows for pinky functioning so you can only play one note at a time.

Dreams come true

My kid wanted to be able to play the music from a classic videogame and I set him up with this synth and he loves it. There is so much work put into this. Thank you AudioKit

The timing of the sequencer

The timing in the sequencer for the AUv3 doesn’t keep the correct time. It’s often out of sync.

Good app otherwise. Would use it a lot more if this were fixed.

What a deal! And what fun.

I reloaded both VHS Synth and SAGA Synth apps, the SAGA Synth had a cool update and a filter update and I accidentally saw that SNES Synth is on sale with a free preset expansion. WoW! Am I happy! SNES is 16-step sequencing in the background. :-) I hope they add the same filter update here too. While these sounds bring back memories, you get to create new ones at the same time, mixing past and present, making new futures.

Very good once bugs are worked out

It sounds great and it’s fun to use! The only challenge I’ve seen is that it keeps crashing in AUM when I’m sequencing midi to it and trying to record. Hopefully this can be addressed soon!

Lots of bugs in AUV3 beatmaker3 or NanoStudio 2

Strange buzzing sounds in AUV3 and rhythmic presets are off beat randomly. Getting refund while I still can

Response from developer

Thank you, If some presets sound "off beat" please check the Sequencer "Rate" knob to see if it set to a whole or dotted note. For example, if you're looking for exactly on the beat you'll want "1/8" instead of "1/8 T". Hope that helps! If you do not like it, certainly you should ask for a refund!

They Cannot Miss

another perfect one.

A+++

Awesome app!!! I love most of the audiokit apps but this one sounds epic!!! The best sounding I’ve heard in a long time.

BUY

AudioKit apps are simply the best, and this one is no exception. Never glitchy, never have problems recording, so many presets to inspire, great price - a must buy in my opinion. Thanks AudioKit peeps!

Super Sweet

Audio Kits synths UIs are simple and intuitive. The presets are great. The prices are always affordable. SNESynth keeps up with the great things about AudioKit and adds a whole bunch of CHIP.

Wow! So cool!

Another home run for AudioKit Pro! Everyone of their apps are super useful! Can’t wait to see what is next !

Let the games begin!

Level 1 - Just on the surface you will find all the familiar game sounds/music that will ring that nostalgic bell in your head and bring a childish smile to your face.

Level 2 - For anyone looking to make quality chiptune music, this has all the bells and whistles you will need from a vast library of presets to the super easy UI allowing you to make your own.

Boss level - If you're like me and want to go beyond chiptune, this also has enough sauce and spice to give you a everything from sizzling atmospherics to psychedelic leads!

Color me impressed

I don’t make video game sounding music and while I like chip tunes, I don’t make any myself. Despite this I went ahead and bought this app without hearing any samples because I loved all the audio kit apps so far and I like their new direction or mixing romplers with samplers.
I was pleasantly surprised with this one. There’s such a wide variety of sounds you can make with this, and tweaking presets is a great time. This synth is for any type or beat maker and I highly recommend it!
