[@BrianFunkMusic]

Such a pleasure to talk with you Jakob. I hope to have you back on the podcast soon! Amazing work on this video. The tunes you have are so awesome! I want to hear an album of that stuff!

[@JakobHaq]

Same here Brian. You’re such a pro dude and I love the way you think about sounds and sound design. Let’s chat soon! 👊

[@BrianFunkMusic]

@Chris Cheltenham Thanks Chris!! I hope you enjoy it!

[@BrianFunkMusic]

@@JakobHaq I look forward to it my friend!

[@generationdink]

Thank you both for being incredibly inspiring people!

[@tahiche.]

Brian, you’re very “soothing”. And that’s one of the best compliments ever. It’s just nice to hear you. Got a new follower/listener here. And thanks for the vhs!. Next time I’m jealous of those that have youth I’ll pity them for having never reminded a vhs tape!. Go 80’s!!

[@knimmo]

Great for lofi ambient sounds too!

[@TheGaragebandGuide]

Nice one Jakob! Your presets are amazing!

[@JakobHaq]

Thank you bro 👊 I like your presets too, including the stories! 👊👊👊

[@TheDonLemonSnickety]

Just wanted to say I been messin w iPad audio as an extension of my Ableton setup, n therefore been following Haq for years, n just felt I had to hit up a comment section Of his to let him know how AMAZING he did on these VHS presets. I like lots of your work, but this time I was really blown away. when I went through all the pre’s, n went to check the ones I FAVd, it was about 90% Jakob’s stuff! Great job, truly reaching Guru status my brother! Cheers!

[@EnochLight]

Awesome video, Jakob! Also, major *MAJOR* respect to Brian Funk for repeatedly - CORRECTLY - calling it Ableton Live. So many people simply call it “Ableton”, which drives me crazy. It’s like calling the car you drive “Ford”.

[@gumonthepants]

When I was a kid we used to save entire computer programs onto VHS on SLP (super long play) before floppy was invented. Before that we could only save onto audio cassettes. My first computer was the TRS80 by Radio Shack (Tandy).

[@JakobHaq]

Sikk! I’ve never saved computer programs on to VHS, but my first computer was a Commodore 64 so I’ve saved plenty of stuff over to cassette. Still have em, but I’m wondering if they still work.

[@davenik1999]

Another great video from the Haq! Thanks man, I love what you do and you have taught me a lot!

[@emiel333]

I bought VHS Synth immediately after I got the Tweet from Matthew Fecher and AudioKit Pro. It’s a really genius sample based synthesizer. Very cool!

[@analogmatthew]

There’s no faking this vhs funk! 📼🔥

[@JakobHaq]

You guys did an amazing job on this one!

[@777wisdom7]

Yes Sir

[@Steve.Dennis]

I reckon they’ve absolutely nailed this one. Fell in love with it as soon as I downloaded it. And I’m not even that sentimental about the 80s! And oh, I liked the music you put together for this vid, Jakob!

[@JakobHaq]

Thank you! 👊😃

[@sleekitwan]

It’s really good. Sorry, 4:48am, vocab dried up. Droopy eyelids, gotta try just one more patch, man…

[@jpdenk]

I picked this up today, no-brainer, brilliant sounds! Your presets are awesome, Jakob!

[@JakobHaq]

A definite no-brainier indeed! Happy you like my sounds! 👊

[@chebtamer]

I got it, amazing sound, yet so simple! And yes your voice is amusing 😂 Thanks Jakob

[@DMTCYMATICSDreamMusicTemple]

I became aware of VHS synth pre release, thanks to you Jakob. Overall, it's a decent app, that achieves its goals. However I feel several features been overlooked such as: Import your own samples! Arpeggiator would be great too! Oscilloscope view. Resize UI in portrait to Landscape. Maybe some in-app purchases to extend the apps life. I've been using VHS synth for ambient drones. The filter Harmonics and Heat and Auto-pan and two layer system make this an enjoyable app. Has a nice warble too!

[@Weareroses]

It Was an instant buy for me, been messing with it all day. Really think this will be in my work flow for a minute.

[@immyvideo]

I brought it before the video finished! Love it

[@gbcraw]

That is one incredible list of contributors!

[@scattermish]

Awesome, radical, bodacious, excellent

[@letssamplethis7641]

For intro price of $3,99 it was a total buy on sight. Great review!

[@ninaandthedynamics]

amazing app. and your presets are great, jakob! 👍🏻

[@JakobHaq]

Thank you! 👊

[@umanoid1523]

Its a fun synth. A little simple for a rompler but im a fan of audiokit and Brian Funks so had to pick it up.

[@leslie1526]

And yet another iPadOS app that developer decided NOT to be available on Mac M1 :( Why!11

[@Radikaal555]

Great video as always, Jakob.

[@howardanderson3061]

Really nice show Haq, very thorough. Your production values are really on par with any documentary film maker… Love you. iOS show on the history and evolution of iOS music apps. Audio Kit is a rockin’ outfit so classy and generous and VHS Synth is off the charts cool. Thank You for all you do for iOS music community

[@JakobHaq]

Aw, thank you so much. 🥰🥰🥰

[@howardanderson3061]

@@JakobHaq you are so so welcome!

[@Dogboy73]

Ooh yeah, BoC style. I’m all over this.

[@mindalteringfx316]

Looks like a fun awesome synth🔥🔥🔥

[@juanfranmar]

I was waiting for this video!!!!! Thanks!

[@noisetv1863]

Just downloaded this today, love it!

[@jml19221]

Thank you for the presentation. I will look at this a little closer. It is sad that they didn’t include some sort of arpeggiator.

[@DaveGriff]

Great video editing! I like the colors you've been using recently on your vids

[@JakobHaq]

Thank you for the feedback, highly appreciated! 👊

[@tahiche.]

I wonder if younger people will get this. What a rush of uplifting nostalgia!. 80’s rule. Lovely video as always, you’re a star 🙌 BTW: for thos falling in love with this VHS synth I highly recommend “Lo-fi tape” synth which is the same spirit and very much complementary. You should do a video on that one!.

[@JakobHaq]

Second that, Lo-fit tape is killer! 👊

[@I.O.M.]

I love audiokit and this fits in perfect with what I do. I can't wait to start using it.

[@alanwilton6806]

I’ve bought it and rated it in the App Store. I think it’s unusual and very good.

[@paulsargeant8179]

Nice one Jakob- I like your presets~in all the synths

[@JakobHaq]

Thank you! 👊

[@KenshoBeats]

Got that Moog realistic synth, am now considering giving it some serious damage

[@mordellamusiclibrary4682]

How in the world can you save a present to a User Bank ? Incredible synth - I am tsking my MS2000 off the rack - This has such as vibe.

[@brunosco]

Love it, thank you! 🤩

[@mglohmeyer]

Interesting idea using VHS tapes to make LoFi tape recordings. I used to use video tapes to record music at events (no video) when I did a little DJ'ing, or just making a multi-hour long mix tape of club/house music when it would not fit on a 90-minute cassette tape. The higher quality Betamax tapes I used (in the '80s) and VHS tapes (in the '90's) sounded pretty good compared to cassette tape, even recording at the slower speeds - 6 hours on a single VHS tape. I still have the Betamax and VHS recorders I used, but they probably have multiple issues and need service before I would insert a tape in them today.

[@RiczVeloce]

Your videos are always cool and I believe they help a lot of People. Your opinions and points of view are Very important, at least for me. Your Music is Not Shitty, You Have a Very Good Musical Taste! Just bought VHS Synth. :) It would Be Amazing if it could have more layers and a sequencer like the one from an Alesis Micron/Akai MINIAK, it has multiple parts/patterns with different Arps/sequences to a max of 16 Bars for each layer/part. I'm always dreaming with this! Keep On the Incredible Work!

[@joshuagood4237]

The 80s are back . Yeah man😊

[@JakobHaq]

Yeah!! It’s back with a vengeance and it’s more dissonant and wobblier than ever! 👊

[@viceroyraydeen1796]

Awesome review

[@alexiayres]

Awesome, was looking for a synth that could easily create this type of sounds!

[@MisterCross]

Another cool AudioKit release. Jakob as always your videos rock! AudioKit’s Synth One when it was released was the first moment when my brain exploded. I had just bought my 2020 iPad, I bought it for writing and art, and then my life did a long overdue about face when it smacked me in the head, the iPad that is, and I realized that what I had always wanted to do musically I could do on my iPad. Synth One was the gateway, for good or evil, haha. Keep on doing what you are doing, brother. you are an inspiration Jakob (I love your voice by the way). Have a great weekend!

[@JakobHaq]

Thank you for sharing your story and thank you for your kind words! 👊

[@Pauluz_The_Web_Gnome]

Bought it! Thanks for bringing this under my attention! Good luck with your channel! I am a fan! I am going to find myself a good Bluetooth keyboard…what can you recommend? I prefer very low latency of course,because I am a finger drummer too!

[@JakobHaq]

Most BLE keyboards have very low latency these days so there’s a lot to choose from. It depends on what you need really. I myself have used the same keyboard for years now and it’s not for everyone. Review here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnfGhaNtmaiJeas I know a lot of Finger drummers that go for AKAI controllers too.

[@andreweccles8130]

Needs a pitch bend and modulation wheel

[@Thedrumsthebass]

Neat, gotta have it

[@EnervatedSociety]

I guess as a tool to come up with ideas and what not, or just to mess around when I'm bored and away from the studio it's worth the $4.

[@C0llinsW0rth.]

awesome

[@PolaBurrr]

cool ! .. please make it a VST also

[@mpfmax0]

Does it record knob automation properly inside cubasis?

[@26davi]

is it cpu heavy?

[@KevinDern]

Thanks for the overview - but I don't see the sequencer options in the app. I'm only seeing VHS SYNTH in the top left corner. Do you have any info on this? Maybe this feature is coming soon? Thanks!

[@bjunk5344]

Thumbs up and I need a haq t shirt €15?

[@doctorauxiliarymusic]

not sure if this has been addressed yet, but... is this only available for apple devices?

[@TheLunarnotes]

Fantastic app, only issue is that garageband won't recognise it in the interapp folder, does anyone know why it's not turning up there? do I need to do something in vhs app settings?

[@JakobHaq]

VHS Synth is an AUv3 app, so you’ll have to load it through AUv3 menu in GarageBand. It’s does. It does not support IAA.

[@playeveryday01]

Other audio kit apps crash when I plug in a midi controller , I hope this app is the exception.

[@krazywabbit]

Thank you for this video. Question. Can you midi learn the knobs in the app?

[@analogmatthew]

You should be able to! Let us know if it’s not working for you? - Matthew from AudioKit

[@krazywabbit]

@@analogmatthew works perfect. Great app. Thanks!!

[@pablo.station]

I bought it before I saw this 🤣🤣

[@javaally1203]

.....and it's not 9.99 a month like other VHS video filters😶

[@TomAnderson7]

I bought this synth and it’s not showing up in Cubasis 3 inter-app list. Any help would be appreciated

[@JakobHaq]

It’s an AUv3 plugin.

[@TomAnderson7]

@@JakobHaq Right, I got confused there for a moment. Thanks 🙏

[@srdjangojkovic1994]

whats the daw that you are using in the video?

[@JakobHaq]

Cubasis! 👍

[@pongtrometer]

I wanna hit that thumbs down😈 , but your content is too good👾, Gr8 work Jakob, keep it up.

[@Bensen3000]

Hey Jakob, which Drums did you use for the video?

[@JakobHaq]

I’m sorry but I cannot talk about the drums at this time. I have no idea when but I’ll be able to sometime in the future though so stay tuned. 😉

[@brianschwartz1277]

I’m here in the comments for the answer to this question as well!! Sounds like a top secret Pre Pre Alpha iOS drum app that only Jakob is privy to at this time! Please let us know when you can Mr Haq!

[@The_Digital_Arts_World]

Haq needs to do AudioKit demos and intros because the one that AudioKit did for VHS Synth was a real piece of trash. Thanks Haq, yours was much better.

[@MrSimonjan78]

Is it Windows version?

[@bjunk5344]

Windows? Windows? Are you new to this stuff? Or you been licking 9V battery terminals?

[@cd78]

Too much taking

[@morganwebster6636]

I love this app so much. Instant fun. Man this is super useful for me. Killer video Jakob. Your contributions are fantastic. Thank you. 💙⚡⚡⚡🎛🎚
