You’re very good at marketing @AnalogMatthew
Have £3.99 from me 👍
Looking forward to your Juno one!
There is no reason you need to remove the old VHS Synth. Your older projects don't need to be broken. You can disable the 3rd party tracker easily in iOS settings.
Just to clarify, is Matt not the owner of the company that owned them?
Minority owner. I had 33% of the vote. Which isn't enough 😅
That's good to have clarified, thnx haha!
If you're looking for these sounds on desktop...
To celebrate the release,
Brian Funk has offered a $10 discount on his VHS mega pack:

Would recommend it for anyone serious about music production 👍

Bought. Just love the enthusiasm and the demos in this thread sound so good.
Getting burned on six apps was enough for me. Surprised to see people throwing their money in for a repeat.
Nice! But I was hoping for the ability to just load up an iPad Logic project on desktop and voila! It works so seamlessly for auv3’s that are Apple Silicon compatible. The 4 Pocket apps are great examples of this.
Regardless, love your work!
It's more of a sequel than a repeat. A "VHS Synth 2.0" if that makes any sense. It's less than a fiver as well. If it isn't for you personally, that's legit. Just don't be surprised that many of us like Matt's reasonably-priced romplers and synths.
Thanks @wim for the correction. I had a feeling I’d muddled something up, it was quite a saga.
But I have to reload the instrument because it’s not recognized as the same app and the information which preset or tweak was used is lost with that.
Really? That shouldn't be the case if you're loading the old app, not the new one Matt just published.
But maybe the new owners screwed that up too?
Hey @KirbyMumbo totally get the skepticism, and appreciate your take.
That said, if someone picked up all six of those apps when they launched, they would've spent just $14.96 total over the years. In return, they got 34 combined years of updates, improvements, and daily support from a small indie team doing their best to keep things running smoothly.
And let’s not forget, two of those apps were completely FREE when they came out.
So yes... $15 for 6 apps and 34 years of use.
I get that change isn’t always easy, especially when you’ve invested your time and trust in certain tools. Your time is probably worth more than that $15. But the transition is behind us now, and now every app I make will be a great thing for users going forward.
Appreciate your support over the years! And, I’m still around if anyone has questions or just wants to talk things through.
Fair enough point. However, my money is mine and you’re making a post asking for some if it in exchange for something that may be bricked later down the line in favor of you making more money. You can frame it as “34 years” and “just $14.96”, but the trust has been lost on my end and the transition is behind you as I’m sure your cut of the profits from the sale is in your your account, but I still lost as a consumer and prefer to not lose again.
They did… the projects in GarageBand I used it on no longer recognize it being on my phone, I have to delete the instance of vhs (or Digitalism too) and reopen it, but the preset info is lost .
Totally fair, and I hear you.
And ha! You assume there are profits. Real talk, it’ll probably take two years of sales just to pay back the fees to release King of VHS. If I’m lucky, by around 2032, I might break even with what I would've earned flipping burgers at McDonald’s for the same amount of time spent on these apps.
As for the six apps you're talking about, no profits there either. Just a lot of long nights, bug reports, support emails, and doing our best to keep things running as long as we could.
That’s not to play the world’s tiniest violin... just to say I definitely didn’t walk away with a big check. I get that trust is tough to rebuild once it is gone, and I respect that you're choosing to sit this one out. No hard feelings at all. I’m not making apps to get rich. And if people want to use them, great. If not, that’s totally fine too. I've been pretty transparent about that on these boards.
That said, I’m pretty sure those original six apps have been restored for buyers, or will be soon, so you should not have to pay again if you already bought them. And honestly, paying zero to 2.99 to use an app for four to seven years, with no updates, is pretty unheard of in the software world. What a weird world where paying 2.99 or 3.99 every few years is considered losing as a consumer. Now there is a chance to get twice as many sounds and a brand new app for less than the price of just one of the old app expansions, like Wabi Sabi, and that is included free this time. What a rip off? 😂
And should I even bring up the free King of FM, used by Herbie Hancock? I could probably actually make money selling that one. And the upcoming free J6, which a lot of folks on this board picked over a two hundred dollar VST in a blind test?
Just wanted to share a bit of what is behind the scenes. Really appreciate you taking the time to speak up.
King of FM is killing it for me these days. It seems to end up in every track at least once. I never bought the original VHS Synth - didn't seem to be my bag. But who can pass up the deal of a lifetime??
@AnalogMatthew - I'd love to see some tip-jar IAPs in your apps.
Daaaaammmm
No ios software has a warranty of working for life… we don’t own anything.
However Matt has demonstrated time and again he is trustworthy, majority here are very grateful for his awesome work
@AnalogMatthew could you consider the option of locking the sample used? I have the same gripe that had with VHS (of course, they are the same samples) of sometimes finding very different timbres from one note to the next that throw me off my flow lol.
I could resample the patches but I would lose all the LFOs, I hope you can consider that (a switch to freeze the last played samples would be enough for me)
👏 THANK you! (Worded it better than I would've. 😂 )
I appreciate Matt work a lot. Their was some growing pain but it's happeneds. People have been burned with software that cost 10x as much too.
15$ its like two Starbucks fancy drink.
I cannot wait for J synth. Don't call it J6 for obvious reason. 😵💫
Man, I can't wait for J Synth either. Will be pretty sick! 😎 Once I get back into the musical flow of things, I will probably make a track using Koala for drums, and King of VHS as the only other sound source. I wonder what I'll cook up.
This is totally awesome! Thank you @AnalogMatthew 😎
Hadn't heard that one before. I like it!
Aw, that's nice. Let bygjohns be bygjohns. 😇
Retro Piano doesn't have 3rd party trackers anymore.
These are some great sounds. Love the pads and design.
Actually, I remembered the oddity of timbres mismatch on og VHS synth. To be more precise, I just checked the VHS synth, it's not on every preset, but on many patches the transition from C3 to Db3 and from C5 to Db5 is very noticeable. Does King of VHS behave the same way?
