Matthew Fecher has announced the release of AudioKit Synth One, a free, open-source synthesizer instrument.
Over the past 2 years, Matthew and over 100 volunteers, including sound designers for M83, Rihanna, Kanye West, and more have been donating their time to build the world’s first completely free professional open-source iPad Synthesizer.
Created by over 100+ volunteers around the world, this app includes MIDI support (play it with a MIDI keyboard or controller), sequencer, vintage-inspired analog filters, expressive arpeggiators, warm analog delays, and, over 300+ presets to get you started!
Plus, it’s completely open-source. Use the code to learn how to build your own synth app or modify the app yourself!
