NERD Synth A2x + AUv3 App Comments & Reviews
NERD Synth A2x + AUv3 Positive Reviews
This is actually really goodI have to admit I’ve been hesitant on audiokits offerings. I generally make music on a desktop and do a lot of my own sound design. I initially wrote off these plugins as pure romplers with not much to offer compared to some of the other more expensive apps from Moog or other big names. Here’s the part where I eat my words. I tried king of FM the other day since it’s free, and while it doesn’t do FM synthesis on my iPad, the DX style sounds and included effects sound stellar. I was pleasantly surprised to see you have a lot of control over shaping the sound. Each patch is comprised of two sound with independent envelopes, and a cross fade between the two, and then the signal goes through some truely wonderful sounding effects. Here’s the part where I finally talk about Nerd Synth. I was so happy with this free offering I decided to try out a few more. Let me just say that this is easily my personal favorite. Nerd synth isn’t a Rompler as much as it is a proper Virtual Analog subtractive synth with rompler tendancies. Just buy this, as well as their other synths, you won’t regret it. If you’re still on the fence, go pick up the free “King of FM”, and I’ll wait right here for you to come back and pick this one up..Version: 1.0
Love The SoundI just got the app so I haven’t really had time to dig into it deep but considering the history of this developer and the other apps they sell, I fully expect this to be as thoroughly usable as those others. I have to say though, that just going through the presets, I’ve already found inspiration for a couple of songs. If the presets do that for you, then you know you have a winning synth on your hands. Looking at the available controls, you have to know that your own custom sounds are close by and they are going to be so fun to play..Version: 1.0
Love this concept!I’m a long time nord fan and I’m so stoked to see someone bringing that experience to the iPad like this. Most of it is here, and it sounds great. Very easy to use, like a nord. However, there’s one huge thing missing for me: morphs! I was hoping I could use this live like I do a real nord. They’re so fast to program with the morph function and I can make really interactive patches very easily. Honestly that + a 12db filter mode is all this synth needs for me to be “the one”. Keep up the great work!.Version: 1.0
Another Must HaveI bought this today, as it just came on the market. No questions asked, just another Audio Kit to buy and add to my collection. Without doubt some of the best synth apps on the market are “Audio Kit Pro”. I am no expert by a long shot but these are truly a must have. I own each and everyone that Audio Kit Pro has made available. And for a introductory price of $4.99 you cannot go wrong. Well done Audio Kit Pro!! Keeps these coming..Version: 1.0
Oooh...tasty!I really like this. The best part is the waveforms which function as beautiful foundations for creating sounds and textures and motions and I would invite everyone who loves sound synthesis to embrace this app and see what I mean. The filters are rich and warm and the effects are lush and wide and make it very easy to create Spatial arrangements The only thing I would love more about this app is if I could change the coloring..Version: 1.1.1
Support This DeveloperThis developer gives us high quality results for just a small cost. I can’t say if this identically sounds like a Nord, but the sounds are mostly all useful and sound “expensive”! As a musician, if I use just 1 sound from this app, it’s already paid for itself. I can tell you that this app has inspiring sounds. You won’t be disappointed..Version: 1.5
Beast for CheapI mean first of all is Audiokit. I love all the apps they make. This is not a rompler it’s a synth by Audiokit. To all you bedroom room and studio producers that are starting your journey(or not) this is the company to go with for real. I’m not going to explain this synth to you guys. JUST BUY IT you won’t be sorry. For the price and the possibilities. JUST DO IT!.Version: 1.0.2
My new favorite synthI don’t need more synths, but got this out of curiosity and out of affection for Analog Matthew. I am blown away! I instantly know I’ll be reaching for this one almost every session. It’s one of those synths where you play a preset at random and feel a song coming on from every one. I love it!.Version: 1.0
Love itReally great synth overall amazing just have a minor issue when I connect my launchpad. On the screen it shows the keys 🎹 sticking as if I was holding them down even after I let go (hence the sticky reference 😅) and I can’t figure out why..Version: 1.1
First few minutes!The UI is nice and familiar if you have any of their other synths! I have a few sampler apps but needed exactly this type of synth to get some new sounds (that are not already sample based). Excited to explore it more! Thanks.Version: 1.0
My go to synthI love this app… it is truly my go to synth if I want to add funky licks or ambient modulations to a track. It has just about everything you could want and a bit more. Highly recommended if you are looking for a great synth / piano app..Version: 1.6
Sounds amazingPretty new to synthesizer and all this stuff in general so take my opinion with a grain of salt. So far the app is relatively intuitive and easy to learn. I’m also really impress with the sound quality 👍👍👍.Version: 1.5
I like itMy main criticism is it currently does not support aftertouch or expression pedal. Also changing presets can be a little sluggish, especially when using program change messages from a controller. Otherwise it’s a great synth, really enjoying it..Version: 1.5
Get it!After insane fun with King Digital (KD), buying this was a real no brainer! And I just discovered the LFO3 page (LOL), w/Flanger & Vibrato in KD. Using the Vibrato as LFO4, ;-). The only things I don’t own are the metronome (can’t stand the irritating things), the 909 (yet), reverb, and the LE03. Off to Nerd land. :-).Version: 1.1
Excellent VAThis app brings a lot of classic sounds back to my palette. The effects are really nice too. Easy to navigate around the interface with minimal diving so parameter access is only a tap away. AudioKit has another winner IMO..Version: 1.0
Another Audiokit Banger!!!I am once again impressed by the level of customization and complexity an iPhone app can bring, Nerd synths lush synthesizers and effects make this one of the most versatile synth apps on the AppStore..Version: 1.1.1
SO much fun!I have taken to purchasing these programs without even auditioning them, because they are so well done! Do not hesitate to add these sounds to your arsenal of a AUv3 programs!.Version: 1.1.1
Great Sounding Synth with a Lot of DepthLove this from AudioKit and glad to see something more than a rompler (though their rompers are top-notch). Anyway, love the sound, love the depth, and love that it brings something new to the iOS ecosystem..Version: 1.1.1
Just a fun synthNerd Synth is just a fun synth to mess around with. Its initial release was kind of buggy, but it has gotten a lot better. For something different try Audiokit’s King of Digital as well as the other synths..Version: 1.5
Never disappointed with these guysIf you want good sound, you are no longer lost. Jump in.Version: 1.6
Really inspiring for keyboard playersJust a joy to play as an expressive instrument. Classic and modern sounds combined with enough modulation options to be really fun and inspiring with easy to use controls and variables. Great synth..Version: 1.5
Didn’t know what to expect. Excellent surprise.Love this made everything fresh again the sounds capabilities. Reminds me of the old DX 7 lol thank you..Version: 1.1
They keep getting betterAudiokit one is getting better and better to best. Highly recommended good for stage or studio. Best bang for buck also..Version: 1.1
Awesome synthSuper clean sound, lots of useful presets. This is the type of synth that you could easily use to write an entire album..Version: 1.0
One of my favsThis synth is awesome! There’s so much possibility to make great sounds, experiment and have fun! Thanks for making this for us! The presets are great, and building patches is a blast!.Version: 1.0.1
Wow!Incredible tone and a fabulous set of presets to get things started. This is a steal- just buy it. You will be dropped into a pool of audio goodness!.Version: 1.1
Awesome!I was just gonna try this out. I was surprised! Right as soon as I downloaded I started smiling and jamming !.Version: 1.0
Love the soundsGood sounds I would love to see more sounds soon thanks.Version: 1.6
Wonderful! couple of suggestions...Love it! the oscilloscope isn't super useful as currently implemented; I would prefer that the traces be more traditional, not doubled around the y axis. also the scope could be better at locking-in the waveform put me down for an FFT scope as well. love the whole audiokit line. thank you!.Version: 1.0
Would love to also own this on macOS……if possible!.Version: 1.6
Great Sounding!I find this little jewel quite useful. Especially the pads. Buy it!.Version: 1.5
Love it!The stand alone app wasn’t loading. But now it is, Five Star!.Version: 1.0
Wow!I have all the AudioKit synths because they are such good values, but Nerd synth is particularly tasty! It sounds fantastic with lots of flexibility..Version: 1.0
Excellent!Another home run! Sounds excellent!.Version: 1.0
Good but not greatI would have given Nerd synth 5 whole stars accept for midi not working properly...Version: 1.5

Thank you, Developers!I honestly haven’t had this much fun since my Roland D70.Version: 1.6
Absolute Joy to use. No-brainer for any musician/producerThis instrument in phenomenal. Well done folks! Having been a Nord Lead owner, this was a no-brainer for me to try out. I have to say, the results are absolutely fantastic. It’s pretty easy and approachable to use for anyone familiar with analogue/subtractive synthesis. For total beginners, the range of included sound presets is great. A few updates have added more preset sounds too. For in-depth editing, there are some times you have to flip between different pages to get access to the full range of parameters. And some parameters (ie: LFO’s) end up getting spread across multiple pages. Some hidden little gems in this synth too, like choosing if the Arpeggiator or pitchbend goes to just 1 oscillator, or both. You can easily create/edit/store/share your preset sounds. First step I recommend: use the “roll the dice” to randomly jump through presets. Lastly: The SOUND! It sounds really really good!.Version: 1.6
Nerd SynthA must have even if it was 3 times the price..Version: 1.5
Knocked out of park…For the cost of a Latte, AudioKit gives me a synth with sounds and sound design that rival any VST or Desktop AU I own. And I have a lot of them. The sounds are hugely varied, my favourites so far being the lovely and eerie pads with subtle modulation and a good chunk of the brittle jig ends beautifully rolled off. Matthew Fecher is a supremely gifted and generous developer, and for anyone out there who still somehow believes that iOS instruments and FX cannot compete with their “larger” desktop counterparts, start right here. You will be blown away at the expansive sound design and the thoughtful way his stuff is put together. Get it!.Version: 1.1.1
Super amusantTres fun poossibilité infini.Version: 1.1.1
Amazing classic synthesizer emulationI always wanted a large lead and still do. But meanwhile, this is such a great emulation! If you guys could do a JP 8000 my life would be full😊🎹.Version: 1.1
