I wish this app was still alive.

This is actually one of the fattest sounding, authentic sounding synths in the App Store. It really has that Akai kind of sound, the filters especially. I used to have an Akai AX60 that was one of my favorite vintage synthesizers, and this can get some very similar sounds.

But, unfortunately it hasnt been updated since 2012. It works if its the only app running, but with too many other apps going it will crash on opening it. It doesnt have some of the features that have become standard in synth apps in recent years, such as AudioBus, InterApp Audio, Midi Learn (for external controllers) etc. Its a shame, because it sounds great. I keep coming back to it with all the other synth apps Ive bought.

Id say its definitely worth the low price point they have it at now. I dont know if the software company that developed it went bust or what, but I hope someday, somehow, Akai picks it back up again.
