AudioKit Pro have updated King of VHS: VCR Synth, available for $4.99.
What’s new in version 1.4:
- MIDI Program Change added to AUv3. App now responds to MIDI Program Change in hosts like AUM.
- Alternate “A” tuning now recalls with AUv3 saved state and presets. Reload projects at 432 Hz (or any tuning), and save different tunings per preset. Use the new Lock button next to tuning to keep the same tuning while you change presets.
- Close button added to the Bluetooth MIDI Keyboard popup (especially useful on iPhone).
- Were you having crashes on standalone during load? This version should fix!
KING of VHS: VCR Synth captures the sound of vintage synthesizers recorded through a VCR, then carefully resampled for that unmistakable lo-fi character. It’s the lo-fi synth you didn’t know you needed — until now.
Warm, retro-inspired feel. Enjoy the vibe of dusty tapes, 80s synths, and analog charm. “This thing is a game changer.”
