About AudioKit FM Player 2: DX Synth
FM Player has been replaced with our new app: King of FM. We recommend you download "King of FM" instead, it has much better AUv3 support, and is more stable. Plus, you can use it on your iPhone or Silicon Mac.
Beautiful iPad instrument featuring classic famous 80s FM Synth, EP, and FM Tine sounds. Featured by Apple.
Trusted by over 100,000+ musicians worldwide!
"BEST APPS OF 2017" - Electronic Musician Magazine
"BEST iOS APPS – 2017" - Audio News Room (ANR)
“Presets sound authentically like the original hardware”
– Electronic Musician Magazine
FM Player 2 is the secret weapon for major musicians and grammy-winning producers. Now, you can have all these award-winning sounds on your iPad.
AWESOME FEATURES:
• Faithful multi-sampled recordings of famous classic presets from original retro 80s FM Synthesizers
• Stand-alone iPad Synth, plus IAA & Audiobus
• Basic AUv3 Plugin support. We're working on upgrading Audio Unit support.
• Vintage Arp & 16-Step Sequencer
• 200+ presets and 150+ multi-sampled PCMs included!
• 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

• MIDI in (Play with a MIDI Keyboard)
• Analog Tape Style Ping-Pong Delay

"So crisp and clean. I had a few 80/90’s flashbacks on some of those presets. Very cool!" – Eros, AudioBus Forum

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. :)

Nov 18, 2018
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. :)

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 matthew@audiokitpro.com
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 hello@audiokitpro.com. We care about you and will read every email personally!

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.

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?

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.

1.0.4
Jan 2, 2018
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)
+ Videos button with links to several great videos of people using FM Player creatively!
+ Saves MIDI Channel setting between launches
+ Patch #s now displayed in Preset view
If you didn't enter your email when you first started the app, you can press the "Presets" button in the upper right to get all the presets. We will only email you to let you know about new apps we make. We will not email you that often- Maybe 2 or 3 times a year. Please check your email for hello@audiokitpro.com. That way, you won't miss any apps or free presets we make! Thanks again.
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 would be appreciated. The more people that know about the apps, the more musicians can enjoy them! Thank you!
