It is a new app
Not my point. I have no idea about the quality or lack thereof of Audulus. Seeing that no one of Beta testers the talks about any features leads me to the conclusion that there isn’t much to talk about.
I don't think you can draw any conclusions about Audulus 4 from this thread and the participation or lack of it from Audulus beta testers. It is not a huge beta. The active beta testers are mostly over on a discord chat.
This is a massive rewrite both with many new components, MIDI out nodes, and a lot of small but significant changes that won't mean much to people that are familiar with Audulus.
I’m looking forward to messing with this chaotic
app
Curious about the processing hit...
The developer has said that he thinks when it is finished that it should be similar to Audulus 3.
That's how you state opinions. Because you believe in them.
Isn't it amusing that this entire rigamarole wouldn't have taken place if he had said "Audulus rules!". I find that amusing, and telling.
Pretty sure it was Max who created the confrontation. For the record I didn't have any problem with what you said about Audulus. It isn't for you. Ok cool. Not sure if Audulus 4 will be something I get either. But if people get something out of it I'm not going to argue with them that they're wrong.
Yep. Max came out intending to be inflammatory. Making a statement that was overly crass.
My first impressions of Audulus 4 are great. I ended up updating to IOS14 to try it. Was a bit lost when I first opened the app, but no more than 3 minutes into beginner guide to Audulus 3.5 and I was up and patching in no time. DSP is at about 23% for me on an old iPad Pro. I can see why though, you're paying for those smooth animations and optional GUI elements (which ultimately allow you to visually design the instrument of your mind's eye).
It's different from D and Mi for sure. But there's enough room for all these modular apps - they each excel in different areas. Did you know you can't build a optimally correct resonant phaser in Drambo or miRack? Well Audulus can. Just that one differentiating capability is proof enough that all modular apps can coexist peacefully.
This is a program that I can see will be well worth the learning curve.. well, if deep diving and patching is something you enjoy. If you're a casual synth enthusiast, or a player/composer, probably not so much.
I found Audulus 3 a lot easier to use than 2. The main reason I don't use Audulus 3 more is that the interconnectivity options weren't great, and modular tweaking isn't really my style.
It's true that Audulus excels as a modular environment, you can even build your own modules from scratch, but you're not obliged to use it this way. I'm an Audulus user since version 1 and I've never used it as a modular. I use it to make effects or instruments. On my last instrument there's no patching whatsoever to make. Just plug a keyboard in and make music.
The Audulus 4 beta is far from being optimized or finished at this point so I don’t believe its current performance/efficiency level will be at all similar to the final release version.
With the MIDI out capability and sequencing options in Audulus 4, the app could be a very capable tool for musicians who are into ambient/generative music. Creative sequencing of this sort is much easier to master than many synthesis methods.
Indeed, generative composing is particularly well suited to modular environments, whether it's Bitwig Grid, miRack/VCV, Drambo, or Audulus. If generative or deterministic composition or programming is your thing, these apps can hardly be topped. That said, even though generative/ambient/techno are strengths of modular programming, if someones doesn't gel with that workflow, they're hardly going to enjoy the process. It's certainly powerful, but the workflow and pre-production patching isn't for everyone.
For folks that really want to create their own custom modules, Audulus just can't be topped, not even by the other modular apps mentioned. This is one of its merits, and why it has drawn such a dedicated user base. I for one can't wait to learn more about programming custom modules - though it looks like it's going to be a lot of work, and a high initial learning curve.
I just redownloaded Audulus 3 because it occurred to me that someone must’ve done a Subharmonicon emulation on it (there are!) and after a ridiculous faff of downloading it and it not going into Audulus 3 because it comes down as a .txt and there’s no way round this on the iPad (had to edit it on the Mac), I now can’t remember the fucking obtuse irritating say the magic word secret handshake way of stopping the ridiculous UI from simply saying Cut|Copy|etc whenever I try to press the button on the Subharmonicon I now have on the ipad. So fucking irritating, this app. That’s why I dumped it. All I want to do is press a button on the synth.
Trying the beta. I don’t even know where to start. Might have to stick this on the shelf with Wotja until I have the time to sit down and watch some tutorials and learn how to use these apps.
You don't need a Mac to change a file suffix. Audioshare and Documents by Readdle will let you do it.
Re the edit popup: click the lock icon so that you aren't in edit mode. You also need to be zoomed in enough that controls are active.
This tutorial got me up and patching within a few minutes. One thing to note is that is that at the bottom where it says 'util, math, meter, midi, etc' and the icons above them.. well the icons aren't buttons, they are core modules that you drag onto the canvas. Those aren't used much, at least for beginners / basic stuff.
To add a module, just tap the canvas and click 'add' to view the library. The categories are mostly the same as the desktop demo, though you might need to use a different VCA or oscillator than he's using.
Thanks!
Ah, the zoomed in thing. I forgot. Forget it then, if I’m not allowed to see the whole Subharmonicon patch at once on the iPad screen then never mind. That’s surely a sign that I have to buy the real thing. So expensive though.
???
You can see the whole patch.
Yes, but then I can’t use it
You have to zoom in slightly in that patch to activate the button. you can scroll while zoomed in or zoom out to see everything and zoom back in to target the controls you want to trigger.
On a 9.7 inch screen, while zoomed to the level to use the u.i, you can see all but the two rightmost columns at once. Scrolling to the, is easy enough.
And, of course, you could go in and edit the patch to move the controls so that all are visible and touchable in your screen.
That’s interesting, the patch you have looks quite different to the one I found

I guess many people have posted examples. The one I I opened was one on the mega-library download...basically has everything ever posted to the old forum.
Try the one I linked and see if it’s better. Of course it’d be a shame if it’s so good I don’t need to buy one.
