It loads as an audio unit in AUM 😊
Is this what finally makes me update to 14.x 😬🥴
My thoughts exactly.
Tested since a few days. So far so good.
Somehow public beta seems like the best way to try before buying. Can’t complain if it’s broken, makes one feel useful and one can try the thing for a while to see if it suits them.
I’ll try it again. I got along actually making stuff much better with 2 than 3 though. 3 kinda drove me away.
That makes 3 of us 😓
Really, really want to give this play, but is it worth AUs disappearing at random?
Charles, could I ask if Audulus 4 has an All Pass filter?
Yeah, this is impossible to re-figure out. I can't even get an oscillator to output node to make sound.
For me they messed up a good thing in 2 with 3 and now this. Basic connections were so much easier. And the freakin basic connection tutorial is like a master class instead of Idiot 101. There's too much behind a lot of the modules, and when they're packaged up, whoever did most of these is atrocious at labeling or giving any clue how to operate them. It really hurts for a beta like this (where 95% of the work of using it is constant zooming, panning, and rearranging your little toys) that the scale of the graphics is really off on my iPad.
Yeah, I love Audulus but it is a beast of mayhem. I like all the ideas and color but it somehow didn't jive as well as I hoped. I hope 4 adds a bit of the Rambo fun magic.... Cheers
AUs don't disappear at random. Not in the latest version.
Oh that's great. Are there any remaining bugs or issues that IOS musicians should be aware of? Just skimmed the IOS14 thread which was active about a week ago, but people were still hesitant.
There are some AU presets to get you going, check the AUM preset menu.... nice to see this as an AU though
It's pretty heavy on DSP in AUM on an ipad Pro 10.5 - almost unusable.
I think Audulus (I only know version 3 so far) has a bit of an identity crisis. Is it a "DSP playground" to make fun and / or accurate (scientific) signal processing experiments? It's quite good for that! Is it a musical instrument? It sure tries to be, but is maybe a bit too low-level for that and there are maybe too many steps for basic changes and fiddling. Also, again, its low-levelness causes quite high CPU usage because its simulation is very accurate (but not really needed for instrument stuff).
I think SunVox strikes a good balance here. The basic modules are much more high-level and oriented towards actually making usable instruments. MetaModules are the "next higher level" then. And CPU usage is ridiculously low even if you load tons of extremely complex MetaModules on an ancient iPad.
Is Audulus 4 heading more towards "low-level" or "practical instrument / FX" than 3?
Now is the moment when all the cable-mess phobes can be safely led towards Drambo. 😇
So what exactly is this app abou? They seem to assume that people know what it it, but I have no idea and there doesn’t seem to be any information on the linked pages.
It's a modular synth construction set. Check the website, http://audulus.com/.
And DSP construction set! It is great for FX, too..even if one is a guitar player.
Great for designing custom FX or taking modules made by other people and stringing them together in intriguing ways.
I think you are missing a key aspect: you can take high-level modules people have made and use them in intriguing ways without knowing about the low-level stuff.
For Audulus 3, there were hundreds of synths, sequencers, and FX that people made that you could take and string together without dealing with the low-level stuff. And audio rate modulation available for everything.
There were loads of high-level ready-to-use synths and effects for Audulus three. I personally find it a more productive environment than SunVox and I can see why the people that like SunVox like it.
Btw, the Audulus forum is a super-helpful place where experienced users help new users understand and use the app. Yes, the docs and tutorials aren’t what they could be (documenting such a beast is not easy) BUT the forum users are germerous and can usually get you up and running pretty quickly.
If one isn’t into the low-level stuff, there was/I a huge library of modules people constructed that you just connect together and use out-of-the-box.
Man, you nailed it precisely. It always sounded plastic-y once you had something anyway, so you’d never actually use it for a proper recording. It mostly gives a bunch of nerds something to play with to satisfy their need to do nerdy things to share and talk about with other nerds (I don’t use nerds derogatorily..:or, at heart, do I?)
From the 15 minutes I spent, it seems like a retread sequel of Audulus 3 (it shares patches with Audulus 3), just “bigger and better” in the way of being preloaded with a ton of extra complicated but esoteric modules made by users in Audulus 3 over the years. It’s not a rewrite and facelift like Audulus 3 was, so it’s still a low (approaching 0) practicality thing.
The problem is it’s too difficult to even connect these modules together or then even operate them properly because the creators assume we’re on their level and they are very crappy labelers when packaging together their module into a “front-panel” operation.
Thanks!
This is just amazing. I agree that there are some weaknesses with the way to connect things together and with the CPU usage (by the way, just close the graphic editor and you save 50% of the CPU) but this is an incredible app. I am not at all a specialist in how an effect is build but with a good schema and Audulus, you can create almost anything you want (music related). The AU addition change everything for me, as miRack did.
The beta test is full. Maybe it's for the best. This looks so deep I may never use .00001 percent of its power.
I can see why someone might not love the u.i., and I also think you are vastly overstating how difficult it is to make connections.
For me (and many others), the u.i. shortcomings are compensated for by the possibilities it opens up. It really is pretty mind-blowing. There are things you can do without not possible with any other apps on iOS.
Well, I also said that this app is really cool...
I think Audulus is great.
I mean if you like to go into the deeper core it like this:
Drambo ➡️ miRack ➡️➡️ Audulus
But I personally still would prefer Drambo. Same like Reaktor core vs. Reaktor Blocks...I take the Blocks.
Even if I like deep editing and creating own modules and presets and whatever.
I am more curious when the mysterious Auraglyph comes, web site says still comes 2020, lol.
