• NEW Vintage Stereo Phaser Effect
• 1+ Gigabyte of sounds, compressed to under 300mb!
• Dual layers per voice. KeyboardSplits. Morph between sounds
• Full ADSR Envelopes for each Layer
• 3 LFOs. Fun Routings. LFOs can modify other LFOs.
• NEW FX: Vintage Chorus, Flanger, Amp Simulator, and more

Hello Everyone!
* This update makes the Stand-alone version more stable
* Small stability updates to AUv3 as well
* App updated for iOS 15. Note in AUv3: preset changing works fine in most hosts (AUM, Cubasis, etc). In early iOS 15 versions of GarageBand, sometimes the app needs to be loaded and restarted. Then preset changing will work. This may be fixed by the time you read this.
Hope you all stay creative and healthy.
Please take care of yourselves and your fellow musicians. :)

1.1.8
2018-11-18
Thank you! In this update, we've made FM Player work better with older devices.
+ Plus, Added Playback "Buffer" Setting Feature
You'll find the new buffer choices in the "Settings" button to the upper left of the keyboard.
For older devices, you can set the Buffer higher to reduce crackling.
+ FM Player 2 is in the works. And, you're gonna love it. We're re-engineering FM Player so that we can make it AUv3. Plus, we just made AudioKit Synth One accessible for the Blind and visually impaired. We're on a mission to make music-making accessible to all musicians, worldwide.
+ Plus, we have released a fund-raising app called AudioKit Digital D1. 100% of the proceeds go to the AudioKit Project, and to support free apps like AudioKit Synth One and FM Player for years to come. :)
Please note that we all are volunteers. AudioKit does not have any sponsors or investors. We are all musician/developers who love making apps. Any help spreading the word about this app would be appreciated. The more people that know about the apps, the more musicians can enjoy them! Thank you!

2018-03-04
We're working on AudioKit Synth One right now. Synth One will be the first professional level, completely free iPad synth in history. After that is complete, we will turn our attention to FM Player 2: Classic DXII. It will be a FREE upgrade for you as a thank you. It will include some amazing new features: Dual layers, Keyboard Splits, Stereo Phaser, and 100+ total free sounds. Please continue to tell your friends about FM Player. The more people like it, the more motivated we are to upgrade and make these new free apps for you. Thanks!
V1.1.4: New warm tube-drive algorithm. The "Overdrive" knob gives you some nice crunch. Turn it up halfway, and turn on the Auto Panner for a nice "Rotary Speaker" effect. It adds character while retaining the sonic characteristics of the source tone. This is great for a nice, vintage EP drive. BTW, thanks for all the emails. We are still working on FM Player, and have many more free upgrades planned... Stay tuned! And, please tell your friends! :) You can reach me directly at [email protected]
Includes all the v1.1 stuff: ATTACK & RELEASE knobs. Plus, beautiful new MIDI velocity handling. Why so much attention to detail? You're a musician who cares about sound quality. This free update gives you a dramatic increase in realism while playing with a MIDI keyboard. Please leave a good review, We're still working on FM Player. We think you are all GREAT and we appreciate all your kind words! <3.
• We spent weeks coming up with beautiful velocity curves individually tailored to each sound. This was done with code. Meaning, we did not increase the storage space!
• Better MIDI keyboard velocity. Each preset has a unique velocity response, inspired by the original hardware.
• We found that Attack/Release controls are the most useful envelopes for a sample-based instrument like FM Player. Turn up the Release knob all the way for beautiful and floating sounds.
• We updated the GitHub source-code repo with these new Attack/Release controls. Plus, there is a new programming tutorial video on our website, audiokitpro.com
• We are all volunteers, working hard for you. We do not get paid anything. And, we make FM Player free so musicians all over the world can enjoy it!
You can reach a real person at [email protected]. We care about you and will read every email personally!
WORKING ON:
We are working on a free Synth app that you will love. And, we are working on making FM Player more power efficient. Plus, other improvements you have emailed. In the meantime, it might be best to completely close FM Player when you are not using it to save battery use. We appreciate your patience with us as we figure this out. <3

2018-03-04
I replaced the distortion with a subtle, warm tube amp "Overdrive" knob. It sounds a bit like the old 70s tube amp I have in my basement. When you plug into the amp, it adds a lot of gain with a substantial amount of body. Giving it a nice, vintage, powerful loud sound with a light crunch. The new FM Player "overdrive" knob attempts to replicate this sound. It doesn't get too distorted. And, adds character while retaining the sonic characteristics of the source tone. BTW, thanks for all the emails. We are still working on FM Player, and have many more free upgrades planned in the coming months... Stay tuned!!

If you want to sound like Slayer, get yourself FM Player! We added a... DISTORTION knob!
Sorry, Spinal Tap. This distortion does not "go to 11". It goes to a very sensible 10.
Plus, "Favorites" now save when you turn the app on and off again. That's quite helpful, right?

2018-01-09
We know you are all VERY SMART and STABLE GENIUSES! In this update: Minor bugs fixes. Plus, we'd like to reward you: Pitch Wheel and Mod Wheel controls added! (Tip: Try the Mod Wheel on the "EP & String Stack" sound). We are still improving the app and we appreciate all of your nice comments and listen to every suggestion (especially if you leave a 5-star review)! Thanks again!
NEW STUFF:
+ Pitch Wheel
+ Mod Wheel
+ Fixed issue with AudioBus 3 "Not Registering Ports"
Pitch/Mod Wheel Tip: (1) Tap anywhere in the Mod/Pitch Wheels to go directly to that position. (2) You can also drag the indicator. Two ways to interact and play!
WORKING ON:
+ Background Audio toggle removed. It wasn't really saving power and was causing problems. We realize that FM Player could be more power efficient and we are working on improving it.

Bug fix for sound issues in version 1.0.3 (channels going out/"pop" sounds). No more Delay Reset. However, this update includes the other Goodies from version 1.0.3:
16 NEW PRESETS! Hand-recorded and crafted for you! <3 Thank you for all nice comments. Your kindness has inspired us to work harder and make future apps (like our upcoming free AUv3 synth).
+ Source Code Released: Use our free code to make your own app like this (audiokitpro.com/fmplayer).
In addition to bug fixes, small things have been added including:
+ Always on/don't sleep toggle: Use this when playing live with a MIDI Keyboard to keep app from falling asleep (MIDI button for option)
+ Ability to turn background audio on/off to save battery consumption (press the MIDI button above keyboard)

Happy-T Leaf,
Extremely well done!
I still own (and use) my DX7IIFD that I bought in 1989, but it rarely leaves my home studio, which is probably why it still works as good as new. So, if I want to incorporate that unique FM synthesis at a gig or on the road, I’m left with virtual instrument options. There’s two approaches for virtual FM - modeling or sampling (or a hybrid of both). I’ve got a number of satisfactory modeling options on my computer rig that I enjoy and use frequently, but none of them gives me the same exact ‘vibe’ of my hardware, and I’ve never been happy with sampled DX sounds because, even though many are very accurate, they always feel static or sterile to me. Furthermore, I’ve never been happy with any of the DX instruments for iOS. This app sounds fantastic and really captures the character of the DX7 without sounding or feeling like a sampler. And it is really fun and inspiring to play. I will absolutely be using it in my live gigs. My thanks and admiration to the developers and the AudioKit team for providing a free synth that sounds rich and professional, and is useful right out of the box. I also love that it much easier to pack up, carry, set up, and tear down than my good old DX7 beast! Well done!
josiah manly,
This is the most amazing app ever!
I have no words. This is the most amazing app I’ve ever seen! Great job! And also, you have made my day! Congratulations on making the best app! this one should be rated number 1! And also i’m speechless! May I introduce myself! My name is Josiah manly! I am a 10-year-old boy! This is amazing! You should be in the top 5 synthesizer apps video! Thank you for making such a great app! Great news! I have just updated my review! To all the people that out here shout out to audio kit pro for making this possible! This is such an amazing app and to the developer! Thanks for making such a good app and even if you don’t respond, I will still love it and everything is free! Which is amazing to me! But the only thing that’s missing is beats! Except I still love it! You can respond anytime! Love you guys! 3>> WHAAAAAATTTT!!!!??? you guys! FM player 2 is out! This is so Beautiful! Thank you guys!
Alcasio,
Stumbled on!
I just got the latest edition of Electronic Musician. The first thing I read is the iOS monthly review of the latest apps. I went looking for another synth based on the magazine’s recommendation, and found this one instead.
I have many expensive, paid apps that can either play sample based DX sounds, or create FM synthesis the old fashioned way with virtual operators. Some are 4 op, others are 6+, depending on how many virtual algorithms they are based on. You wouldn’t think that your open source freeware ROMpler would come close to any of those apps, however, I’m stating that these are the best 6 operator samples I have heard in iOS yet! Keep up the awesome work! I’ve been using iOS in live performance for years and have been waiting for this app!

Heart's a-smilin'!
Back in the day, I did some serious scoring with my DX7. How well I remember it shaking the pillars of analog heaven with its FM/Chowning mysteries, its generous polyphony, great electric pianos and romantic harmonica and incomparable, plucked jazz guitar. Now, here again is some of that joy, not only guilt-inducingly free, but to me the best expression of DX Heaven to come down the iOS pike. Ever. It is not a synth, but gloriously adds to the inscrutable DX programming interface some approachable analog tweaks: filter, reverb, tremolo, a luscious stereo widener. Free. Yikes. In a great year for apps, this little one--great-trick Clydesdale is my favorite new pony. I am hoping for some more sounds (harmonica, guitar) a IAPs. HUGE thanks to Matthew Fecher for a great holiday gift. Wish I had ten stars.

NOT MEANT FOR USE AS AUV3
In short: GET THE NEW KING OF FM from AudioKit, not this. —— This, right here, is the most important thing you need to know about this application. If you’ve got a lot of AUV3’s and you enjoy the flexibility that provides, you won’t want this, no matter how cheap it is. Notice how the 5 star reviews are years old. Currently, if you create a tune in GarageBand with this instrument, when you “Share”, THIS INSTRUMENT WILL NOT PLAY! It hasn’t worked in awhile, was hoping this latest release would fix it, and it doesn’t. Without being able to “Share” the resulting song from GarageBand, this instrument is useless. The best part about this update is that they at least finally tell you that the AUv3 problem you’re having with the app is NOT going to be fixed, it’s primarily meant for standalone use. So, while AUv3 is gaining ground across the universe of mobile apps, this one won’t be coming along for the trip, unfortunately.
Rasass 526,
Great app, one minor issue though
I love this app, a lot really! So far I have loved all the wonderful sounds I could achieve and it’s just, really amazing to see how much thought and detail was put into this remake of the classic DX FM synthesis sound, and among that, along with the other music apps you guys have created. And while I do love it, I have had a minor issue for a long time that I felt should be mentioned but, there seems to be a minor issue with compatibility with GarageBand as a plugin for some reason, and I’m not sure if this is just me, but I hope this may be addressed as it’s something that has prevented me from making little projects utilizing the amazing sound from this app.
Once again, fantastic work! Look forward to whatever may come ahead!

Great Sound but AUv3 Implementation Is Buggy
I have purchased and/or downloaded every single AudioKit synth and in general am very pleased with them. The sounds in this synth are killer.
However I have to give it 3 stars because I’m experiencing a serious bug — when using the app as an AUv3 plugin with Cubasis the synth is skipping playback of notes. I’ve been in communication with the Cubasis folks and they’ve confirmed that switching to another synth fixes the problem and they have identified that the problem is with this synth.
So would love for one of the devs to contact me. I have a stripped down sample project in Cubasis that illustrates the problem (same one I sent to the Cubasis team) that I can share that will hopefully make it easier to track down and fix the problem.

Nothing free in Life? Holiday Gift!?
This Synth is a gift beyond measure. A true “gift”! Unexpected, free and more than you thought it would be. I am a 40 year old graduate of being involved in sound design. I always am disappointed by IOS Synth Factory Presets. Not this time! Only 60 presets, but just like life, it’s not quantity that counts, it’s quality and this Instrument make’s you feel like you are playing the real deal. Hooking this up to my weighted 88 and it becomes even more amazing! I love gifts, but this developer deserves a financial thank you! Best Christmas gift I have received this year. Maybe Santa is behind all of this. Wow, ultra impressive! Happy Holidays indeed!
Uker W,
I like it a lot, except for the static
I like the great variety of sounds and tweakability of this app, and Audiokit Synth One, but I get static on both of them, little clicky sounds. Maybe it is because I am using it on a 4th generation iPad. I don't know. I don't have this problem with other music keyboard apps. Do I need a newer iPad to use these apps without the static?
Since I wrote this review I got an iPad Pro, which has a 64 bit processor. The static is gone and the app sounds great, but you have not changed the description in the App Store to indicate that you need a 64 bit iPad to get a really clean sound from it. I would be happy to give you five stars if you would update the description to reflect the actual compatibility of the app. Thanks for creating a great app.

scary kites,
Fantastic...,.but
Yo- absolutely amazing. And while I give it five stars and love every aspect about it, (especially direct tracking in Garage Band) , I’ve been experiencing crashing. And since this isn’t a perfect world, everything about this app borders on perfection. Thus, this is not a critique about the app, rather just a friendly reminder to developers of this. An app so dynamic and powerful, I imagine it has a few tweaks to work out in the hardware’s ability (iPad) to process such sonic high qualities. You guys up-did yourselves. Truly a fine digital instrument, worthy of any and all caliber of musician. Big ups, G’s🤘👽🤘
