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!

Ratings and Reviews
What a blessing
I didn’t give this app a look because I think it was the price tag. Too low. I thought a good synth app would be starting around 10 bucks. So now that I have purchased Moog, GeoShred, basically all of Korg, Pure Acid, Streetlytron ‘63, and so many others, there are only really a select few that I use.
I always passed up Digital D1 while searching for my next synth.
It wasn’t until I started reading the reviews that I finally just said, “All right, I gotta check it out. “
I don’t regret not purchasing this earlier, but I’m like, “man, people need to know about this app.” So people, take it from me, you are going to be knocked off your feet when you listen to what this beautiful instrument can do. There are so many friggin presets that I haven’t gotten through them yet. The sound is phenomenal. You’ll just be so amazed. I wanted to write a review purely based on the character of this company and team members. I think you’ll know what I mean when you get this app. They are kind, generous (free preset downloads), and make you feel important, needed. So It’s a pleasure to help out where I can and write a review. You have given me more than I could ever ask for. Thank you team. And peeps, really, you NEED this in your synth buffet. You better do it. Haha. Go on now!
Adios , other synth apps....
From now on when I play live or record and need great ,professional sounds...I know this synth will be the one that delivers instant inspiration. Thank You so much for what you’re doing for musicians everywhere. The quality on this one is a Level above ,…
Come to think of it I remember when I downloaded your Audio Kit 1.0 {mach. 1 } . I loved the reverb so much , it was the best sounding and I wished I could run my guitar and vocals through that app ,..I’m happy almost every app you guys released after that still had that great canyon Reverb setting.
I’ve always found the programming in the Audio Kit Apps to produce a unique type of analog signal ,..that sooths and relaxes the ear instead of being intrusive …that’s why it’s always so fun to play and always inspires a playimg session you can’t pull yourself away from to hit record. Great job throughout All the apps,..it’s proof that multiple heads are better than one … I think Godzilla would disagree however, 🏬🏢🏗️☢️🏛️🏫 🐉…🔥.🌈🦖 I can’t remember right now the name of the 3 headed dragon,…gidora maybe ??? 🤔
BEST VST FOR IOS PERIOD!
First off I’m a musician not a sound engineer for movies or anything for that matter. With 400+ presets, and not like some lame presets that you’ll get from other apps which all sounds very similar and the only way to get that sound you’re looking for is to spend hours tweaking it. I have to give major props to the guys at D1 for putting in the works to create such high quality and beautiful sounding presets, and only if I really have to tweak anything it will be very minimal. Of course D1 has all those fancy tweaking nobs but who has time for that when you’re in that moment where you just want to lay down a quick melody or chords. D1 layouts are truly amazing, very simple to use especially for a guy who doesn’t like nobbleing around and this doesn’t overwhelms me at all. I CAN NOT WAIT till they release the AU3 compatible version of this app. Awesome work guys! Keep music alive even though it’ll never die. BTW, I hate writing reviews as much as I hate tweaking sounds but for this app I just have to.
