Branches vs Audulus 4 (list of modules?)

I want to try one of these, but I cannot find the list of modules for each app.

I guess that Audulus 4 has more modules?

I like mirack, but I'm curious to find out if I prefer the workflow with 1 or these app.

  • Hmm well I don't have Audulus 4, only 3...I think maybe the close appearance of Branches has confused you. Audulus is not really a semi-modular synth like mirack (or branches I suppose). It's fully modular. This is great in that you can do astonishingly complex things that would be difficult or impossible to do in other apps, but sometimes doing easy stuff is tedious.

    The thing I would most compare Audulus with is Max/MSP (like Max4Live) or perhaps a very very pretty version of Pure Data.

    Hum, I think I was confuse yeah! Thanks for the clarification.

    Mirack is semi modular?

    Mirack is semi modular?

    For me, Mirack is the perfect exact exemple of fully modular. But @geremy do not agree I think and I'm curious to know why Audulus is fully modular.

    Fully modular is a box full of pieces to assemble DIY style for modular kit :) ?

    Think mirack and audulus are modular.

    Havent made a patch.

    I think branches is probably a volca modular.

    I assume audulus would be more modules.

    I might buy audulus where I have spare money.

    I got a 3rd ipad that needs apps.

    Modulars seem cool for ornamental value but think audulus might be a mirack gateway.

    Theres strokes also. Maybe thats cool also.

    I didn’t mean to discount mirack, obviously it emulates eurorack modular, so in that sense it’s fully modular. But in mirack you have ‘modules’ that offer specific combinations of components and controls. You use the virtual wires to connect those modules together.

    Audulus kinda of offers those individual circuits/components to connect to build your own modules to then connect together. Audulus building block are a bit more fundamental. Other people have used those fundamental building blocks to create patches, and you can certainly browse the available patches and put those together, but it’s a whole other level of complexity.

    Ok, so, Audulus is like the atom of a lego?

    There are also quite a few pre-built synth modules for Audulus for people that aren't interested in building their own.

    Fwiw, I have posted quite a few videos here of a Buchla-inspired music system that I implemented in Audulus. Search the forum for Buchaudulus.

    MiRack is a modular, as it’s eurorack, Audulus is just a lower level modular, as would be early Serge compared to eurorack. But mIRack also have lower level modules, as comparators, logic, etc …. So you are not tied to ready-made modules, you kind of build yours too.

    That’s obviously nonsense :-))) Mirack is full blown modular.

    Audulus top layer is basically same thing - modular too - with iťs set of top level premade stock modules, so you can really use it same way like miRack or other standard eurorack based modular.

    It’s just that Audulus adds another layer on bottom where you can go deep to elementary building blocks, math modules, etc and connect them to buils own top level modules. You don’t have to, but you can.

    I would say Audulus is like NI Reaktor on desktop. You can use it a musician (and stick just with top modules) or you can use it as enginer, coder - and build own modules.

    I don’t hsve Branches but from screenschots it looks kole MUCH simplified, both visually and in terms of sheer amount of modules minimalistic version of miRack - probably for somebody who is overhelmed by miRack and searching for something less complex simpler, not skeuomorohic but still modular.

    I would say for somebody who is familiar wirh miRack, looking at Branches doesn’t male much sense. I see Bramches like introductory drug into modular world.

  • Branches is much more akin to something like Ripplemaker. It’s semi-modular. Audulus is fully modular and very deep. I’ve still barely scratched the surface. I think both are great, though. Also Audulus is freemium so you can fully try it out before you buy.
