We've open-sourced the code for this synthesizer so that everyone is able to make changes to the code, introduce new features, fix bugs, improve efficiency, and keep the synthesizer up-to-date with all new capabilities of the base operating system. Synth One is now Universal for iPhone/iPad!
“AudioKit Synth One is a wonderful example of how iPad can change the way music is made.”
– Apple, App Store Editorial Team
If you're new to AudioKit, you can learn more: here. This code and app is made possible by all the contributors to AudioKit. Many of the features of Synth One are available as modules in AudioKit, allowing you easy access to oscillators, filters, reverbs, effects, and other DSP processing: code here.

The two primary branches of this repository are intended to be used as follows:
•Master branch will work with the current release version of AudioKit - ie. AudioKit's "master" branch. Changes should not be made on this branch so that it can be kept as stable as possible.
You must install the pods that we depend on before you can compile the project. To do so, run the following at the root of the project:
•pod repo update
•pod install
You may uncomment the line in Podfile to switch to our cutting-edge staging (unstable) releases of AudioKit, as opposed to the stable releases in the mainstream CocoaPods specs.
The repository builds and runs without modification, but the Link functionality will be missing.
Because of the way Ableton distributes their Link SDK, we can not simply include the Link files here. Instead, we include our Link wrapping files and expect you to do two things to get Link working on your machine:
•Change ABLETON_ENABLED from 0 to 1 in the Build Settings
•Sign up for the Ableton Link SDK and download the prebuilt binary LinkKit.zip. Uncompress it and find the include and lib directories and place the folders under our "Link" directory. There should be three files in include and one in lib.
•Mac or computer running Xcode (Free Download)
•Knowledge of programming, specifically Swift, AudioKit, C/C++, & the iOS SDK
If you are new to iOS development, we recommend the Ray Wenderlich videos. There is also a great tutorial on basic synthesis with AudioKit here.
Beginner? We have two additional code examples. There is a simple Swift Synth and a Sample Player. A fun exercise might be replacing the sample player code engine with synthesis.
This folder's contents
•AudioKitSynthOne/ - This folder contains most of the source code •AudioKitSynthOne.xcodeproj - This file is a part of the workspace, which you should open instead •AudioKitSynthOne.xcworkspace - This is the file you should open with Xcode, it contains reference to both the project files for the synth code and associated Pods •OneSignalNotificationServiceExtension/ - code for a third party extension we use •Podfile and Podfile.lock - Cocoapods configuration files •.swiftlint.yml - Swiftlint configuration
Localizations
•See our localization docs for more information.
Here's a few ideas for you to contribute to this historic project:
•Ability to search presets
•Midi Learn Matrix. Create a view that will allow users to easily change the MIDI Learn assignments.
•Make TouchPads assignable
•Add an EQ Panel (8-band/16-band/etc)
•Add the ability for Sequencer to modulate more parameters
You are free to:
(1) Use this code as a learning tool.
(2) Change the graphics, and include this as part of a bigger app you are building.
(3) Re-skin this app (change all the UI graphics/controls), and upload to the app store.
(4) Contribute code back to this project and improve the code for other people
If you use any code, it would be great if you gave this project some credit or a mention. The more love this code receives, the better we can make it for everyone. And, always give AudioKit a shout-out when you can! :)
