## Description

64-voice hybrid VA/PCM iOS synth with 900+ handmade presets, bundled with all King of Digital and Digital D1 sounds. This sale-priced package offers no IAPs, no ads, and a lifetime license, with AUv3 support for iPad and iPhone and compatibility with DAWs like GarageBand, Logic, Cubasis, and AUM. The app includes 3+ GB of original samples, compressed to under 500 MB for a compact install.

Designed from analog and FM synthesis, it features dual layers per voice, a vintage-style step sequencer, 3 LFOs, and extensive FX to sculpt tones. Bonus PCM banks (D1 PCMs and D1 Expansion) accompany 900+ presets. It’s praised by App Advice and Music Radar as a lush, modern classic.

## Review summary

Across reviews, King of Digital D1 is praised for its lush, DX7/wavetable sounds, intuitive interface, and strong value. Users love the wide sonic palette, the ease of integration with iPad workflows and DAWs like Logic Pro, and the robust AudioKit-based engine. The main caveat is stability: multiple reviewers report glitches (favorites, recording, and performance) and occasional performance hiccups, plus some compatibility quirks with GarageBand/Mac in cross‑app workflows. Overall, it's a powerful, affordable synth for musicians who want rich sounds and flexible setup options, with ongoing updates improving the experience.

### Pros

- Intuitive UI with great FX and easy integration into iPad setups and DAWs (Logic Pro, FL Studio via MIDI Out).
- Very good value: affordable price, frequent upgrades, and some free content.
- AudioKit-powered synth with high-quality sounds and reliable performance.
- Extensive, varied preset library that keeps expanding and inspires creativity.

### Cons

- Frequent bugs and glitches affecting usability (favorites glitch, recording issues, and multi‑instance performance).
