"This is the culmination of the massive Audulus 3 patch I've been working on in February!

Inspiration for the album:
Music has always had a tradition of blending storytelling with applied philosophy. Or at least, at its greatest, it aspires to do so. We can never hear the first songs of mankind, but we can guess what they were about. The earliest stories undoubtedly revolved around the struggle of man against nature. Then Gods against man. As we cast about today we find a narrative in which Gods and Man are mutually forsaken, and Nature is I'm totally fucking with you. This is ambient. I just tried to make some pretty bleeps and bloops.

Get Audulus for: iOS | Mac | Windows/Linux

"Audulus LLC has just released a significant update for Audulus 3, their cross-platform modular synthesizer and visual programming environment.

Audulus’ audio engine has been completely overhauled to allow for larger and more complex patches. This means you can now use analog-modelling filters without dragging down the performance of the rest of your patch.

Audulus 3.3’s module library has also been completely revamped. Many new modules, tutorials, and examples are included, featuring a new standardized signal flow. Inputs and outputs are all clearly labelled and indicate what type of signals are expected or produced. Attach gate outputs to gate inputs, modulation outputs to modulation inputs - no more guesswork!

The iOS version of Audulus 3.3 has some significant user interface changes. Now you can organize and search for your creations by tags, or use the search bar to find a particular patch. Part of this UI overhaul includes removing the module browser toolbar. Now you just simply tap on the background and press “Create,” and the module browser appears on screen. No more dragging onto the canvas.

Audulus 3.3 also includes support for split-screen and portrait orientation on iPad - you’ll be able to download and read about patches on the Audulus forum and patch at the same time!

New Audulus Analog Delay/Chorus & Spring Reverb Guitar Demo


Published on Oct 7, 2016 audulus

Get Audulus for: iOS | Mac | Windows/Linux

"This analog-modelling stereo delay/chorus effect is one of the many new modules appearing in the biggest Audulus 3 update yet. Go from lush, washy tones to vibey rotating cabinet sounds using the newly-optimized analog-modelling z-1 filters.

Inspired by the Endangered Audio Research AD4096, this delay's feedback can be cranked up without causing runaway volume increase. The patch you're hearing used a random modulation signal to turn up the regen control at random intervals, lending a spacey atmosphere to the chorused lead.

CONTROLS:
Time - Time between repeats
Regen - The feedback of the delay line
Mix - Balance between wet/dry signals
Color - Filtering of the delay line - when turned down, the delay is darker and more analog-sounding
Speed - The speed of the chorusing LFO
Depth - The amount of the chorusing effect

This effect is just one of hundreds of modules that come with Audulus 3 - buy Audulus now at the Mac and iOS app stores and start creating your own custom guitar pedalboard today.

Also featured in this composition is an 808-style kick also synthesized in Audulus.

If you like Audulus, please give us a 5-star rating in the App Store - it really helps!

Audulus LLC Announces Audulus 3.5: New UI & iOS 11 Files Integration


iTunes: Audulus 3 - Audulus LLC

"Audulus LLC is proud to announce the latest and most significant update to Audulus 3 yet. Audulus 3.5 integrates the fast and convenient file management provided by iOS 11’s new file browser.

With a new streamlined patch browser, you can sort patches into folders, mark your favorites, and more easily share your creations with the world.

The Module Library now arranges modules in a folder hierarchy, which makes finding modules much faster. Furthermore, you can search for modules and nodes by name, as well as drag and drop patches from iCloud storage.

On iPad, the Module Library remains open as you patch. This saves time, especially when building large patches.

Automatic highlighting, new to Audulus 3.5, simplifies understanding patches. Just select a node or group of modules, and their output wires highlight while all others dim.

Audulus 3.5 comes with an expanded library of examples accessible from the create document menu. The new examples include previews of an upcoming module library redesign. This massive expansion uses graphical symbols instead of text abbreviations for control labeling.

Audulus 3.5 has been redesigned to make it easier to release smaller updates such as adding new patches, tutorials, and modules.

And finally, Audulus now runs in portrait mode on iPhone!


A big update for 2018! Happy New Year!

- Audulus now requires iOS 11.
- We are using iOS 11's new document browser. So you can now organize your patches into folders, search, easily move patches to iCloud, etc.
- The Module Library is now organized in a hierarchy. You can search too!
- Patch metadata (tags, author, description) has been removed.
- You can drag & drop patches from the Files app.
- Select a node to highlight its connections.
- Instead of installing examples to your documents folder, you can now browse for examples when creating a new document.
- Larger example library. Including a preview of the new uModules, currently under development.
- Audulus now runs in portrait orientation on iPhone."

Audulus 3 Library Update Preview


Published on Aug 27, 2016 Bimini Road

Get Audulus for: iOS | Mac | Windows/Linux

"Audulus 3 is about to get a big new update - new synthesis engine, improved UI, and hundreds of new modules. Take a tour through just one of the new patches included in the update - more to come!

To try Audulus for free, download the trial for Mac, Windows, and Linux at www.audulus.com

Follow Audulus on Twitter and Instagram @audulus.

This patch is available for free download at the Audulus forum:
http://forum.audulus.com/discussion/1...

Description from the forum:

This sequencer uses 0-1 LFOs instead of clocks to drive the sequence step selection. If you use a saw wave input for both sequences, the X sequence is read left to right, top to bottom, and the Y sequence is read top to bottom, left to right. To reverse direction, simply use a reverse saw wave, or even a triangle or sine - or rectified audio! Anything really.

A third sequence is created when X and Y intersect - this is the = output.

The field of values are all scaled 0-1. Best results are obtained when you feed back sequences to the steps themselves.

The two controls next to the visualizer are max step controls. The one next to these towards the middle turns the sequences on an off in various combinations.

That's it! It's actually rather simple - its simplicity and openness allows you to do so much with it. Pairs very well with the new envelope module that will on retrigger when it's gone through its full cycle (see either of the demos attached here)."

Audulus 2.0 Released for Mac and IPad


Audulus 2.0 from Taylor Holliday on Vimeo.
New features in Audulus 2.0. Many thanks to the Audulus beta testers for their thorough testing of this release!

"Audulus 2.0 Released for Mac and IPad:
Math. Timing. Speed.

Audulus 2.0 introduces the Math Expression Node which allows you to enter math expressions, opening up another level of sonic possibilities.

Maybe you'd like to simulate the overtones of a piano? Or build a 3-operator FM synth? Or snap pitches into a chromatic scale? Maybe you'd like to create your own oscillator waveform? Or, possibly a custom wave-shaper? With the new Audulus Math Expression Node, all these and more are now within your reach.

Audulus 2.0 also introduces the Timing Mode, a feature which shows how much CPU time each node is taking. This gives you the information you need to squeeze every bit of performance out of your iPad or Mac.

Both the Math Expression Node and Timing Mode can be unlocked in the new Audulus store.

Lastly, in Audulus 2.0, the Audulus audio engine has been further optimized so your patches will run faster than ever.

Audulus 3 Modular Synthesizer App Review for iOS


Published on Feb 5, 2016 Touch Technology Review

Get Audulus for: iOS | Mac | Windows/Linux

http://audulus.com

"If you told me five years ago that you could be building your own instruments including synthesisers, basses and drum machines on an iPad I would not have believed it.

Well now you can do just that with the new Auduls 3 modular Synthesizer.

The UI is very straight forward and has been translated well for mobile touch screen making it very usable indeed. A simple pinch will zoom out to expand your canvas, while pulling your fingers apart zooms back in to see each building block in more detail as well as giving you access to tweak controllers.

Audulus 3 is not for the faint hearted but more suited towards professional sounds designers, Composers, DJ’s or experienced musicians looking to delve deep into the core of sound creation. And for these adventurous souls the payoff will be immense, resulting in the genesis of truly unique soundscapes."

Audulus 2 Minute Tip - 3: How to Make a Vibrato Effect


Published on Jan 18, 2016 Bimini Road

iTunes: Audulus 3 - Audulus LLC

"Vibrato is sometimes confused with tremolo thanks to Fender amps, which incorrectly label their tremolo circuits as vibrato. Vibrato and tremolo are easy to parse however: tremolo is volume (amplitude) modulation, while vibrato is pitch (frequency) modulation. When you wiggle your finger back and forth on a string on a violin, *that's* vibrato - what you are doing is shortening and lengthening the amount of vibrating string between your finger and the tailpiece (or saddle on a guitar).

Making a pitch-shifting vibrato effect that induces frequency changes in audio is a little more complex, so this just focuses on how to add vibrato to an oscillator, which is very easy.

Wondering how to begin designing effects in Audulus? You can't get more simple than a Tremolo.

A Tremolo effect (known to Fender enthusiasts as "Vibrato" but we'll get to that one later) is a modulated amplitude (i.e. volume) level. Electrically, this is usually done by driving a lamp or LED with an LFO circuit, while the audio path runs through a light-dependent resistor (LDR). The Light + LDR makes an Optocoupler. This isolates the LFO from the circuit and keeps your audio path super clean.

In Audulus, however, none of that is necessary. All you need to make a Tremolo is an LFO and a Level node. Apply the LFO's output to the Level node, run your audio in and out, and bam, you have a Tremolo!

This tutorial also shows you some beginning steps you can take to modify the LFO: adding to the signal increases the "floor," or how low the volume gets. Multiplying the signal (really, dividing, since we're multiplying by a number between 0-1), will expand or shrink its overall range.

The 2 Minute Tip series breaks apart topics on Audulus into bite-sized chunks. I don't talk during the tutorials (though there are a few notes that pop up), and this is so that international viewers who don't understand English well don't feel left out. Familiarize yourself with the node menu and my navigation won't be so mystifying. In the future, we'll develop a finger press indicator so you can see where I'm tapping.
