• Perfect with a MIDI Keyboard
• Ableton Link
• All kinds of awesome stuff
• The Sound. Oh, the sound. You won't believe it.

"Digital D1 synth is pure ‘80s and ‘90s digital lushness" - Computer Music/Music Radar
"Beautiful. Lush. Modern and Amazing… An Instant Classic."

REQUIREMENTS:
Requires newer iPads for best performance. May be slow on iPad 4.
IAA is being deprecated by Apple in iOS 13. We're moving to AUv3 as well. Please replace IAA with AUv3 in your projects.

GarageBand Audio Unit (AUv3):
You can run one instance of D1 as an AUv3 in GarageBand. With a host like AUM, you can run 3 or more instances at once.

TROUBLESHOOTING:
For iPad 4 - Open the "Settings" button (to the upper left above the keyboard). Turn the buffer to 512 or above. And turn the "CPU Efficient" toggle to on. If still having trouble, try closing other music apps and/or rebooting your iPad. Thanks!

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. :)
1.7.1

Plus all 1.7 Updates:
• Added Inter-app Audio (IAA) & Audiobus support
• We're working on improving AUv3. In the meantime, we've added IAA & AB back.
• We also really appreciate everyone who got the new Bass 808 app. Its new code is helping us with this app.
• We've got more to go... We're working constantly to improve AudioKit apps for you.
Thanks for your support!

* We can't wait to hear the music you make with D1
* The app will just get better & better - stay tuned!

Oct 15, 2019
Thanks Everyone! You're Amazing!
NEW UPDATE!!!
• Re-engineered to be more Memory efficient with AUv3
• Reduces Crashes in AUv3
• Better iPadOS Support
• We've got more to go... We're working constantly to improve AudioKit apps for you.
Thanks for your support!

Plus, other recent updates:
• AUv3 now mixes down and freezes in Cubasis, NS2, GarageBand, and more!
• D1 has been re-engineered to allow AUv3 in iPadOS/iOS 13
• Inter-app Audio (IAA) has been improved!
• Misc bug fixes & upgrades
• AudioKit apps will keep improving. We're working hard to make them better for you!

NOTES
* D1 is rather robust. It's a beast of a synth.
* GarageBand: We recommend only running one AUv3 instance at a time in GarageBand
* We've and optimized it so you can run 3 or more instances in one AUM project! Of course, if you go above 3 instances running at once, it may become unstable.
* AUv3 also handles MIDI better. Use your favorite iOS host like AUM to route MIDI to different instances
* AUv3 mode defaults to CPU efficient mode on, which means you don't see the knob animation on LFOs. BTW, this makes it easier to set LFO targets. This can be changed in the "Settings" button to the upper left of the keyboard
* There's a new keyboard hide/show icon that appears at the top of the AUv3 mode to make it easier to show/hide bottom panels in AUv3 mode

* We can't wait to hear the music you make with D1 as an AUv3

* The app will just get better & better - stay tuned!

1.1.1
Jul 3, 2019
Thanks everyone! You are all AMAZING! Quick upgrades:
+ AU MIDI now receives Pitch & ModWheel
+ AU MIDI now receives MIDI CC - Use for MIDI Learn or MIDI CC Host Automation
+ Fixes Standalone MIDI Keyboard Issues.
+ When upgrading to AUv3 the first time, it's recommended you open Stand Alone first and export any of your custom banks as a backup.
+ Still not seeing MIDI input? Make sure your MIDI Input channel is on 1 or Omni. You can set the MIDI Input in the "Settings" button to the upper left of the keyboard.
+ NOTE: iPadOS Beta AU is not supported yet. But, D1 AU will support it soon

+AUv3 is here. Use D1 as an AU Plugin in your favorite iOS Host!
(GarageBand, AUM, Audiobus, BeatMaker 3, Cubasis, NanoStudio 2, more!)
+ After months of hard work. D1 has been completely rewritten. There may be some bugs. Please be patient with us. :)
+ Improved stability when running multiple instances (we don't recommend running more than 3 instances, though)

** IMPORTANT: Open update in Stand alone first to migrate your existing presets to AUv3

NOTES
* If you have backups of your banks, try renaming the banks from something like
"MyName.json" to "MyName.bank.json" then D1 should be able to import it using the "Import" button.
i.e. You'll need to add a ".bank" before the ".json"
* When freezing in Cubasis, if nothing appears in the audio track, try setting Cubasis to compatibly mode
* D1 is rather robust. It's a beast of a synth.
* We've re-engineered and optimized it so you can run 2, 3 or more instances in one project! Of course, if you go above 3 instances running at once, it may become unstable.
* AUv3 also handles MIDI better. Use your favorite iOS host like AUM to route MIDI to different instances
* AUv3 mode defaults to CPU efficient mode on, which means you don't see the knob animation on LFOs. BTW, this makes it easier to set LFO targets. This can be changed in the "Settings" button to the upper left of the keyboard
* There's a new keyboard hide/show icon that appears at the top of the AUv3 mode to make it easier to show/hide bottom panels in AUv3 mode
* We can't wait to hear the music you make with D1 as an AUv3

* The app will just get better & better - stay tuned!

May 8, 2019
Thanks everyone! Big Quick Fixes:

This will come in handy for running more than one instance in AUv3 soon...
+ Fixes issue where a large distortion / aircraft sound would randomly appear for some users. Bizarre. Now, fixed!
+ The updates the last few weeks to D1 have reduced crashes by over 80% according the crash logs. Thanks to everyone for helping make D1 better!
+ We'll always be updating and adding cool stuff to Digital D1. And, we're getting closer and closer for AUv3.

1.0.7
Apr 18, 2019
Thanks everyone! We're constantly upgrading Digital D1!
* Quick Stability Fix: This update should make D1 more stable when playing with MIDI standalone.
If you're one of the people that D1 is crashing for after this update, please email us: matthew@audiokitpro.com
First try restarting your iPad. Include the preset you're using, and what you press immediately before your crash. We want to get this working for everyone.
+ Please note, that if you're using IAA, we're working on the AUv3 version every day. Which is better. And, it will be a free upgrade, of course!
+ We'll always be updating and adding cool stuff to Digital D1.

Feb 21, 2019
Thanks for patience! We are always upgrading D1:
LOADS OF MICROTONALITY FEATURES ADDED:
+ Digital D1 can now open Scala Files: On your iPad select a link to a Scala file ending in ".scl" and you will see "Copy to Digital D1" as an option.
+ You can now use AudioKit Synth One to send Scales to Digital D1!
This functionality is kind of like Ableton Link, but, for Tuning.
How does this work? Go to the "Tune" panel in Synth One. There's a new button called "TuneUp" (starting w/ version 1.0.3), click on that to open D1. You can also share master tuning setting.
+ New "Back" Button & Scale "Reset" buttons in D1 when using a scale from another app.
+ NEW Master Tuning knob on the bottom of the "FX" panel in D1 It goes from 432 to 440. If you want a wider range, you can set the tuning from Synth One

+ D1 now loads last used preset when restarted
+ Under the hood: Over 3,000+ lines of code have been re-worked as we fine-tune AUv3.
We are working every single day of the week on it. And, won't rest until we get it to you. We're in it for the marathon. We'll always be updating and adding cool stuff to Digital D1.

Meaning, you'll get all future sound expansions free for life. We've got a few great expansions planned this year. And, you'll get every one of them for free as a thank you for your early support and patience. If your copy of D1 qualifies, you'll see the "Platinum Edition" text on the Preset Panel after this update.
