Audulus 3.3 Update Available for iOS, Mac, Windows & Linux Now Available

Published on Oct 11, 2016 audulus

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!

Audulus 3 New Features:
Total rewrite of the synthesis engine
New z-1 analog-modelling filters and effects
Hundreds of new modules and effects
Clarified signal flow with glossary
New video tutorial series
Organize and search for patches by tags in the patch browser (iOS only)
Search bar to quickly find specific patches (iOS only)
Streamlined module browser for faster patch creation (iOS only)
Split-screen support for iPad
Landscape orientation support
iOS 10 compatible

Audulus 3 System Requirements:
iPad/iPhone: iOS 8.3 or later, iPad 3 or later, iPhone 5 or later. iPad Air, iPhone 6 recommended.
Mac: Mid 2010 Mac or later.
Windows: Graphics card with OpenGL 3.0 support.
Linux: Ubuntu 16.04

Audulus for iPad/iPhone is available for $29.99
Audulus for Mac and Windows/Linux is available for $49.99

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!

Cloning Euro - uBit Gourd - a Qu-Bit Chord Audulus Module

Published on Sep 19, 2016 Bimini Road

Get Audulus for: iOS | Mac | Windows/Linux

I LOVE the Qu-Bit Chord module - if you haven't tried it out or seen a video, you should check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pE3QJ... [posted here]

Although I have a hardware version, it's a fun exercise to take hardware modules and reconstruct them in Audulus. This is phase 1 of the process - using Macro Machine's infinite crossfader (included in the new update) to fade dynamically between 4 oscillators, and having the 7th chord built up at the input. Clearly based on how the inversions and voicing and harmonization works in the actual Qu-Bit module version works, I have a lot to do to rework the front end, but here it is - the beginnings of my uBit Gourd module! I'll share it with everyone when it's finished at http://www.forum.audulus.com

If you're interested in buying the actual module, buy it from the store I work for on Reverb.com - http://www.reverb.com/shop/centurysou...

If you ask me nicely at mark@audulus.com I'll share the in-progress patch with you :)

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)."

Moogfest 2016 Announces Modular Marketplace Synth Event with Neuronics (ex Dewanatron) Debut

This is a bit of a double post. The press release from Moogfest follows further below. A number of known manufacturers are listed, however there is a new one you might not be familiar with, Neuronics. This will be their debut. I am curious what they will show as one half of Neuronics is Leon Dewan of Dewanatron, makers of the Swarmatron and other eccentric synthesizer creations. P.S. Great Make Noise T-shirt on the left! They are my favorite synth T, aside from mine of course. :)

"See, Hear, and Experience the Future of Music at the Moogfest 2016 Modular Marketplace

Free interactive bazaar gives everyone a chance to discover and test-drive next generation electronic musical instruments

Durham, North Carolina (April 27, 2016) - The Modular Marketplace at Moogfest 2016 reimagines the traditional trade show by creating a fun, interactive, educational space where electronic instrument designers connect directly with musicians, technology innovators, and the general public.

Over 25 companies selected for their cult status or game-changing ambition will demonstrate their instruments and offer a glimpse into the future of electronic music. Many of the entrepreneurs and designers behind these products will be in attendance, and almost all items are available for purchase.

Moogfest programming partner Kickstarter has ever curated a selection of three instruments, supported through its crowdfunding platform, to exhibit at the Modular Marketplace: the Artiphon INSTRUMENT 1, Sensory Perception by Sunhouse and Kilpatrick Audio.

The Modular Marketplace is one of the many highlights of Moogfest 2016, which celebrates the legacy of Bob Moog, the visionary engineer who pioneered the analog synthesizer and other technology tools used by artists like Stevie Wonder, David Bowie, and Kraftwerk. The four-day festival from May 19-22 will feature over 250 innovators in music, art, and technology -- from Gary Numan, GZA, Grimes and Laurie Anderson to virtual reality pioneer Jaron Lanier and transhumanist visionary Dr. Martine Rothblatt. For the first time, Moogfest takes place in Durham, North Carolina, a fast-growing capital of technology, culture and entrepreneurship.

'The Modular Marketplace is free and open to the public, giving everyone from school kids to technology influencers an opportunity to participate,' said Moogfest Festival Director, Marisa Brickman. 'A new generation of engineers and circuit designers are building on Bob Moog's legacy by creating new tools that are shaping the future of music and sound.'

The Modular Marketplace features product launches, daily demonstrations, sound experiments, exclusive discounts, and other special events. It takes place at the American Tobacco Campus at 318 Blackwell Street from 10am - 6pm from May 19 - 22.

Some highlights of the Modular Marketplace include:

Artiphon INSTRUMENT 1: Developed at The New Museum's NEW INC incubator and funded through a Kickstarter campaign that raised $1.3 million, the Artiphon INSTRUMENT 1 will make its public debut at Moogfest 2016. The groundbreaking instrument allows users of any skill or style to strum a guitar, tap a piano, bow a violin, or loop a drum beat -- all on a single interface. By connecting to iOS devices, Macs and PCs, this portable and durable musical tool can make any sound imaginable.

Audulus: Audulus is a virtual modular synthesizer environment for iOS, Mac, and Windows platforms. Throughout the festival, Audulus will be giving away copies of the deep and beautifully designed software to curious sonic voyagers. Simply come by the booth and get signed up.

Bastl Instruments: Based in the Czech Republic, Bastl Instruments in a community-driven company focused on producing handmade electronic musical instruments. Bastl Instruments will be displaying an eclectic robotic percussion set controlled by their Eurorack format synthesizer modules. Additionally Bastl Instruments will be offering 10% off discounts on their tabletop granular synthesizer - The Micro Granny.
Bleep Labs: Bleep Labs will launch the Thingamagoop 3 at Moogfest 2016, a light controlled synthesizer, effect and noise friend. Simple controls give musicians access to rich and diverse sounds, from simple square and triangle waves to FM laser battles.

Neuronics: Neuronics is an exciting new adventure in synthesis helmed by Leon Dewan and producer Josh Humphrey. Dewan is best known for the unique and visually striking analog synthesizers available with his company Dewanatron, whose flagship device, the Swarmatron creates the effect of a swarming hive of bees. Neuronics makes its debut at the Modular Marketplace.

Electric Objects: Electric Objects is the creator of E01, an Internet-connected screen designed specifically for art, capable of playing more than 10,000 works of digital art including video, animations, GIFs, high definition images, or web-based work. Electric Objects will be featuring works by performing artists and speakers at Moogfest 2016.

Kilpatrick Audio: Using both new and vintage circuits and cutting edge software, Kilpatrick Audio creates unique and interesting musical equipment designed to sound great, be fun to use, and to inspire musical ideas in the exploration of new sounds.

Luisa Perera & The Counterpointer: The Modular Marketplace will feature an auto-composing musical installation by coder and instrument designer Luisa Pereira. The counterpoint method Bach will be expressed through her instrument the Counterpointer and 3 Moog Mother-32 modular synths. This alludes to the work of the composer who made the Moog Modular famous, Wendy Carlos.

Make Noise: Based in Asheville, North Carolina, the home of Moog Music, Make Noise designs and builds Eurorack format modular synthesizers that incorporate "West Coast" design philosophies associated with synth pioneers Don Buchla and Serge Tscherpnin.

Audulus + Gristleizer + Minimoog VCF + AD4096 + Ampex ATR-102

Published on Apr 18, 2016 Bimini Road

Get Audulus for: iOS | Mac | Windows/Linux

"In this video, I set up a simple 2 oscillator output from Audulus (no filters, no effects) - the majority of what you see on the iPad is the sequencer, clock, and the LFOs that are modulating various parameters.

The oscillators from Audulus are sent into the Endangered Audio Research Gristleizer, and then on into the Minimoog VCF through the external input (the oscillators and noise generators are turned off).

The output of the Minimoog is sent into the Endangered Audio Research AD4096 analog delay pedal.

Finally, the delay is routed into the Apollo 8 where, after passing through a Neve 1073 preamp and a Studer A800 tape machine, it is processed with the Slate VCC Neve Console, the Manley Vari-Mu Compressor and Massive Passive Mastering EQ, and finally the Ampex ATR-102 running at 3.75IPS and with a smattering of wow and flutter, and a bunch of stereo delay."

Audio Sampler - 512 Stage Bucket Brigade Chip

Published on Mar 26, 2016 Bimini Road

Get Audulus for: iOS | Mac | Windows/Linux

"This is a model of a 512 stage bucket brigade chip. Essentially, it is an expansion of the Control Signal Looper - but instead of 8 steps it has 512, making it suitable for capturing and looping quick bursts of audio.

Make sure you play with the max step number - increasing it past 512 basically gives you a PWM wave. Also make sure you modulate the trim of the Saw wave, or even try attaching a Sine or Triangle (just not Square).

For an explanation of this looping concept, refer to this video tutorial:
