Skulptur by Bram Bos & Hainbach is OUT!
out of nowhere... (to me:)
Skulptur
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/skulptur/id6741394300
Skulptur is a highly interactive Performance Filterbank designed by Bram Bos and Berlin-based musician Hainbach. It's a 10-band filter instrument unlike any other filterbank you've ever used.
Designed for touch with kinetic sliders and other touch-centric innovations, it brings lots of different ways to interact with your sounds. Swipe, throw, slide, push, pull and draw the 10 surgical filters to animate and manipulate your sounds in ways that no other plugin allows.
Comes with plugins for iOS, iPadOS and MacOS (13+, Intel and ARM)
Multiple UI modes to play with your sounds
10 steep, surgical 48dB filters (1 LP + 8 BP + 1 HP) with filter feedback
4 Filterbank model configurations
Built-in noise generator and high quality input signal saturator
LFO mode, optionally tempo-synchronised
Real world tested as an instrument in numerous live performances by Hainbach

Congrats @brambos 😊
Looks amazing!
Yay! Hainbach's video about it will go live later today.
This was a super fun project, building something that Hainbach actually really needed for his performances on tour, because his own hardware equipment was too bulky and cumbersome to be taken on the road!
So this one is heavily battle-tested by the man himself
Hainbach and Brambos? No more info needed. Mine
My thought exactly! Currently having an initial play with it, and it’s already loads of fun!
Cool!
Great surprise. The built in noise generator is fab. With the cycles mode it is easy to create surf sounds, wind or the intro of Oxygene 4.
Filterbank ftw! Great to see a new @brambos au. Congrats!
Oh! Looks like it works on all Apple platforms.
Trying the standalone for the first time.. feedback don’t resonate? @brambos ?
It's not exactly resonance as you'd have with a synth filter. It adds a "ripple" to the shoulders of the filter falloff - so the sound gets sharper, but mostly the falloff becomes steeper and there's more separation (less overlap) between the filter bands.
I see , thanks! Lovely filter. Now selfresonating the thing in a feedback loop inside AUM 😍
Ummm… I’m a fan…. but… might wait for a demo on this one. Not really grabbing me from the description. However, since it’s in macOS too I’ll at least hold off until I see a demo to see if it’s something I’d use.
I like Hainbach’s sound work off an on, but I don’t end up ever using the apps he collabs on… a month after the new app smell wears off.
Can you record/automate the motion of the sliders moving up/down?
Gavinski's video
I’ll give it a whirl…
I think this is really fun. Let's have more devs doing fx focused on the strengths of performing on a touch screen please!
I'm all in for that!!
this looks great. A computer-controlled filterbank is something we didn’t have in the past.
I’m particularly interested in the handling and physics control of the filterbands. Some good ideas by Bram, something to learn from. Which possibly could be included in my Lemur template for a hardware computer controlled filterbank, the “Resonant Filterbank” module by Erica Synths. This template can be used for other destinations as well of course.
Here’s the link to the Lemur template:

Awesome! And it’s on Mac 🤯🫠 thanks for that!!
Not sure how you are defining ‘computer controlled’ but on iOS we do also have the Moogerfooger Murf app which, while not tailored to touchscreens as this is, is nevertheless great in its own right and a different take on sequencing filter arrays! And which is nice to combine with Skulptur, actually
This seems pretty damn awesome. Definitely something I'd use for Ambient fodder.
Yessir, via LFO:
LFO mode, optionally tempo-synchronised
Or also using AUv3 parameters controlled by external LFOs etc
True indeed! We got some fun ones to choose from:

Just to name a few!💥
Oh and Ape Matrix is an LFO playground:

It's hard to make a filterbank look sexy, but we've tried our best (and Hainbach's video should also help explain the intricacies of Skulptur)
Yes, everything the sliders (or the other UIs) do can be recorded and played back, regardless of whether they're manually or automatically manipulated.
Thanks for super quick video Gav! Really nice!
That is pretty fun looking. And fun should always be a part of the music-making process.
Cheers Bram - I forgot in the early/mid section that most of the bands were muted in the cycles section, urgh, but did clarify that later in the vid. Nice app as usual!
I must know:
Can we do this with just Drambo?
Please God let the answer be No.
I can”t wait to get my fingers on this one.
Ooh kinetic controls in Drambo would be really nice, I don't think that's possible. I'd love to be wrong here.
