Super J8 Synth + AUv3 App Comments & Reviews
Super J8 Synth + AUv3 Positive Reviews
One of the BEST synths on IOS! A Powerhouse packed in a workhorse!This is a total “Tank” this thing just wrecks other IOS synths, and doesn’t think about it! Way back when AudioKit came out, I got bought their very first release, and did a little research and I loved that they wanted to come together as a team and donate time to build something special together. I may be mistaken but it seemed like sometime after the 2000 synth release (it may have been a year, maybe two) I seen another AudioKit release, separate from the original AudioKit start to release apps … I may be wrong but I feel like maybe some of the guys that worked on some of (AudioKits) first few releases must have started another “SISTER” team, with some of the developers… But these guys started making some KILLER synths! They have some great ideas, and pushing the envelope hard, milking the IOS platform to push out some creamy, milky smooth, synths, and then just jump into some hard hitting, face smashing, bass thumping, jaw dropping synths! They are fun, they are easy to use, but serious! I would love to see maybe a nod to H.G.Fortune with some of the amazing work he did on the Windows platform, it would be almost a shame not to introduce something like the WOF by HG Fortune! I have paid for every app the day they release it… So I can support these guys, the work they do is legendary, and YEARS to come will still be being used …. I have kept all my old iPads, from my very first iPad 3rd generation… some of the apps that are on that iPad can NEVER be found again, because the developer didn’t keep up with updates… like the Original ALCHEMY app, released on iOS back in 2010… most people haven’t even seen that app… because it became a part of Logic and Garage band… I say all that, just to say…”Hold on to these apps!” Get them, support the devs… because these apps will be legendary one day, and you would have been smart enough to buy them, and hold on to these apps system you downloaded it to…because it will always been on that system..Version: 1.1.2
ABSOLUTE BEASTThe fact that this app has the exact same features and sound characteristics as the original $25K synth for not even a fraction of that price is just mind-blowing. The sharp, polished, lush, and laser-like feel does more than define the sound of the 80s, but literally takes you there. One thing I would add would be a UI style customizer, where you can switch between your own style, or the original JP-8’s layout and color scheme..Version: 1.1.2
Thank you, thank you, thank you!Wow, what an amazing Jup 8 you have provided to us on iOS. The price is ridiculously low. I own everything you offer and have written reviews before. This one is my favorite by far. However, all are so creatively made to serve a variety of purposes. You’re the best of the best by any measure of creating synthesizers I can play on my iPad. Just remarkable presets! So much fun!!.Version: 1.3.1
Fantastic sound! wow!I have most of this developers other apps. They are good and I enjoy them but this is the first time I’ve felt compelled to write a review and give stars. This thing sounds amazing! Really great. Great tones. Sounds real. . Can’t wait for the prophet five! This is a must buy! Really excited to see what else this developer comes out with. Kudos!.Version: 1.1.2
Seriously the best AudioKit synth to date!This sounds absolutely incredible. It's so thick, warm, lush, and even better than the actual synth. Having the power/sound capabilities of a Jupiter 8 for under $10 bucks is an absolute banger of a deal! You won't be disappointed- there's nothing else on iOS that's this good, imo..Version: 1.0.3
Amazing SynthThis is so good you would never know it’s not the real thing. The gorgeous, complex textures sound incredible. This is actually better than a Jupiter 8 because it has extra features the original doesn’t..Version: 1.0.3
Fantastic Planet!For me all of your apps are must haves, but you really knocked it out with this one! I wanted to let you know I have had multiple crashes when in the Favorites Preset Bank on an iPad Pro 10..Version: 1.1
AmazingI have a few other synths from AudioKit, and this is the first I’ve written a review for. I am seriously blown away by this synth. The quality is delectable. Feels like I’m using Omnisphere. Can’t recommend enough.Version: 1.1
AudioKit does it again.They just keep getting better. The sounds and controls of this beast are probably one of the best synths out there. This is truly a tool that will get you all your synths needs. Great job AudioKit!.Version: 1.0.3
My god, worth every penny!Between this and TAL, I may not need any more synths. This is spectacular. Of course, should you ever attempt the CS-80, I’ll be a buyer without even hearing it. Really outstanding work. You’ve outdone yourselves..Version: 1.0.3
Must have plugin.Just buy it. Presets are great and the sound quality is excellent. Well worth the cost. I have paid much more for much less. Not a bot. Real person..Version: 1.0.3
Matt is next level!!!This synth just entered my Top 10 iOS Synthesizer that quick! Every Synth released by AudioKit Pro is a winner and this Synth is next level indeed! The tutorials don’t lie!!!.Version: 1.0.5
👍🏻You can NOT go wrong with these AudioKit synths. Fantastic sound, solid performance, and devs that really care. Every one is worth every penny!.Version: 1.1
Audiokit’s Best App (So Far)Small footprint (80mb!) Huge sound. 600+ presets you can start with. Most importantly, it sounds absolutely phenomenal. Well done, Matthew. Knocked this out of the park..Version: 1.0.3
Just Get It!All I can say is if you don’t get this you are missing out! Absolutely brilliant.Version: 1.0.6
Did you accidentally make a Roland JP-8000? ❤️This company blows me away. What a hell of a VST. I have bought a ton of them. It all started for me with the free J6..Version: 1.0.3
Terrific synthAmazing sound. Faithful emulation of the original Juno 8, with a few useful enhancements. Up-to-date DSP tech. All virtual analogue, no samples..Version: 1.0.3
I’d give this 6 stars if I could.This synth sounds amazing. Easily the best sounding synth I own..Version: 1.0.3
Well doneGood job yawl this is great.Version: 1.0.3
Add support for MacOSThis synth is great, but no support for MacOS. Will be support on MacOS ?.Version: 1.3
Sooooo AwesomeI don’t normally do softsynth reviews unless they’re stellar, and Super J8 absolutely is. It sounds rich, clean, clear and is really easy to use. I own 25 softsynths and this is my second favorite next to Animoog Z..Version: 1.3
Amazing Synth For The Price & Best of 2026!Thank you very much for all of your hard work that went into making this and providing us this BEASTY at such an unbelievably generous price point. J8 truly is SUPER and such a pleasure to use. Makes making new patches a breeze. I also really appreciate the extra sound packs and all of those upgraded extras that you included into the Super J8 design. WELL DOWN Matthew please take a big bow! BRAVO!!! Congratulations and Cheers Matthew, ED.Version: 1.0.3
CPU IntensiveGreat sounding synthesizer but it overloads the CPU on older iPads..Version: 1.1
It’s like a Time Machine that only stops at the 1980s!You outdid yourself this time AudioKit. Great synth!.Version: 1.0.3
