About this app

Inspired by the classic sounds of the Nord Lead A1**

This is not a Rompler. This is a SYNTH.

"I’m impressed. The sounds are FAT, the effects are LUSH, and the interface is a JOY to use."

– Audio News Room

"This is not a clone, this is BEYOND the hardware, it's a completely new, fantastic beast"

– Jade Starr, How to App

"An excellent release...app captures the soul of the Nord Lead A1 Synthesizer"

– Synth Anatomy

"An iOS-based homage to a virtual analogue classic!"

– Music Radar / Keyboard Magazine

Not imitation, it's Innovation!

https://audiokitpro.com/redsynth

With Nerd Synth, you’ll have access to all 40+ of the classic lead A1 waveforms!

Plus, we gave it some RAW MODERN POWER.

FULLY LOADED w/ 550+ presets by Analog Matthew, Electronisounds, DMT Cymatics, Moby Pixel, Red Sky Lullaby, and more

NOTE: This is a synth, and contains no hardware preset samples.…

Arithmetic on the stores' own published rating counts. It says nothing about why the ratings fall where they do.

In the app package we scanned

Method and limits

What this report can and cannot show

What a missing label means

Not yet tested. No analysis has been published for this app, so there is no method to describe for it yet. A missing label is not a clean bill of health: it means nothing has been read, not that nothing is wrong.

Limits of this report

  • A package scan is static. It identifies code and text in one Android build. It does not measure a live ad session, test a deletion request, or count the steps needed to cancel.
  • Reviews keep their sample. A review-only charge shows distinct reviewers, the share and the sample size, and is published only once it clears that label’s published threshold. Calibration labels are machine-drafted and not yet confirmed by a person.
  • Not assessed is a state. It is never a zero and never a pass.
  • A missing label is not a clean bill of health. It means the evidence did not support one, not that the app is problem-free.
Not yet human-reviewed. A human review gives an app hands-on, recorded measurements. None has been run for this app. Hands-on inspections are not yet open.
