Audulus LLC tells us that, after over four years of development and extensive user testing, they have released Audulus 4, a massive update to the modular synthesis app. They say that Audulus 4 offers many new features, and is free to try out and play any patch, enabling sharing of patches on a much greater scale.
Audulus developer Taylor Holliday, told us, "Audulus 4 represents a massive step forward for Audulus, which required a tremendous re-working of the code. The user interface is now more pro while still being immediate and approachable."
Audulus 4 includes a rebuilt module library to showcase the new features. Users can use Eurorack-style modules from the library to have a classic modular synth patching experience. Audulus sound designer Jerry Smith, said, "Audulus is unique in seamlessly combining Eurorack-style patching with lower level signal graphs. You can build advanced modules in Audulus without needing to know programming languages such as C++."
New features include:
- Full multitouch on iPadOS: Turn on performance mode and interact with multiple controls at once. Create multitouch performance surfaces.
- Custom UI for math expressions.
- Knob colors and icons.
- New UI nodes like sliders and X-Y pads.
- Modules can now be recursively exposed. Build front-panels out of other front panels.
- Improved search experience in the module browser.
- MIDI output via a MIDI Send node.
- Pinch to zoom while dragging a connection or moving a module.
- AUv3 versions on both iPadOS and macOS.
- Canvas Node: Build custom user interfaces using the Lua programming language.
- GLSL Shader node: Make advanced shadertoy-style graphics.
