West Coast chops continue to grow on macOS-iOS modular Audulus

You’ll need the latest iOS and macOS to run it, but the next-generation Audulus 4 continues to impress as a deep, accessible soft modular. And it gets more and more West Coast by the day – as we catch a first glimpse of the next “Buchaudulus” system.

Earlier this week, patcher extraordinaire Edward Spiegel shared how Buchaudulus is looking. Bee-boo-boop, indeed. (Sorry, only synth language here really suffices.)

Hop on Discord, and you can go ahead and grab a 5×5 matrix synthesizer inspired by the world of Buchla:

Demo of the #Buchla-inspired 5×5 Matrix Sequencer. All 4 voices are controlled by different aspects of the sequencer – two 5-note chord voices controlled by the poly sum of 5 X and Y sequences, and 2 mono lead voices, one taken from the XY point and the other from a Y-sequencer. pic.twitter.com/nvsOUtxZMG

That, in turn, opens up some beautiful modulation possibilities:

Adding a mode to the 5×5 Matrix Sequencer where you can directly sequence with modulation, bypassing the internal counters. This allows you to create really organic sounding syncopation since you’re not locked in to whatever gate is generated by a clock. pic.twitter.com/RvZXOr6Huy

The whole thing was also refactored this week entirely in Lua and the new canvas node they’ve built – GPU-native.

It’s great to see this fresh approach.
