Created by Volunteers, Meet Synth One J6:
Pro-Quality, and Actually Cool (And Yeah, It’s Free)
AudioKit Synth One J6 by isn’t your typical synth app. It’s a legit, pro-quality synthesizer built as a labor of love. You might already know the original Synth One, with millions of downloads, it’s already a staple in schools and studios from LA to London to Tokyo.
But this time around, volunteers spent nearly three years perfecting every single detail. Why? Because musicians actually care how stuff sounds.
Schools, community programs, and even plenty of talented musicians don’t have spare cash lying around.
Synth One J6 isn’t “freemium” or loaded with annoying in-app purchases. You download it. You play it. You create. End of story.
Easy to Use, Actually Fun
We threw out the complicated stuff, Synth One J6 uses a simple slider-per-function layout. You want lush pads, deep bass, bright leads, vintage keys?
Done.
There’s also a sequencer, arpeggiators, some sweet reverb, delay, classic chorus, and more than 400+ presets to kickstart your creativity. No hassle, all inspiration.
Students Won’t Hate This One
Most educational apps are a drag, let’s be real. As educators ourselves, we built something students would actually enjoy! Synth One J6 is intuitive, sounds fantastic, and is actually fun. Students might even forget they’re learning something.
WHY DO WE NEED THIS?
Many schools and music educational programs have iPads, but are unable to purchase anything from the app store. That puts even a $1 app out of reach! Imagine all the songs trapped inside talented musicians who simply don’t have access to tools.
Synth One J6 aims to fix that. Download it, share it, tell someone you know. Let’s get those hidden songs out into the world.
Spread the word. Tell a musician. Tell a teacher. That’s how this thing reaches the people it’s built for.
Ethical AI Machine Learning
The oscillators are trained by recording hours of vintage synths, note by note. The data gathered by analyzing those synths is used to power the the oscillators in the app, creating analog-like variations in the tuning and other attributes that make the app feel ALIVE!

ANALOG EXPERIENCE
Synth One J6 doesn’t try to fake analog…it recreates it. We recorded vintage Juno-106 and Jupiter-8 synth oscillators, then let some smart ethical AI algorithms study every nuance. The result? Genuine analog warmth, random imperfections, and sounds that actually breathe. Not imitation, it’s Innovation!
We stuck with the basics: Sine, Saw, Square, and Triangle waves. Educators asked for simplicity, but simple doesn’t have to be boring. Synth One J6 proves that pretty clearly.
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT… TELL ME MORE?
There are millions of people around the world with access to iPads through school or social programs. People who have the next wave of life-changing music in them. But many can’t afford professional apps and even more don’t have credit cards to download them.
Synth One J6 is designed to break that barrier. To put a genuinely professional, truly inspiring tool into the hands of anyone with the device, especially those who couldn’t afford it otherwise. It’s also built to be a solid resource for learning about synths and electronic music.
Think about the countless people who could have created amazing pieces if they’d had access to instruments. Think about all their lost music. What could they have created?
Our mission is to empower musicians with a powerful tool while also providing a learning resource for learning about electronic music and synthesizers.
Free, Professional tools like Synth One J6 inspire musical creativity and can be amazingly powerful in anyone’s hands.
Tell a musician you care about. Together we can change the world.
BUT, HOW DOES IT SOUND?
Okay, but does “free” mean “sounds cheap”? Get this. We actually blind tested this thing against a popular $200 desktop VST plugin. The results? In tests with over 100 musicians, J6 beat that expensive plugin by 80% when they were asked which sounded more “analog.” Same group, testing J6 against real hardware? J6 was picked as the real hardware just as often as those expensive current plugins. Those other expensive plugins? Only 25% of musicians thought they were hardware. Synth One J6 won by a landslide. So yeah, it sounds pretty dang good.
