Solderbox is a copmact semimodular synthesizer, made in collaboration with Jakob Haq. It is heavily based on Jakob's own modular rack design (which features a lot of modules made by hand).

The app is designed to offer a set of modular functions that is both comprehensive and eclectic, including several tools for generative synthesis, random signals and the surgical mangling of audio waves and modulation signals.

Salome is a simple, streamlined tool for recording (or importing) sounds, turning them into seamless loops, and then polyphonically play them using MPE or MIDI.

CONTROL: The onscreen keypads can be latched, turning them into 2-dimensional faders for controlling various modulations. Additionally, software and hardware MPE controllers can be used (or normal MIDI, in a pinch).

WORKFLOW: The entire process from sampling to playing was designed to be a fast and fluid as possible. Speed > features.

Hilda is a Complex Oscillator Synth, inspired by the most interesting aspects of both west-coast and east-coast synthesis technique. You’ll find a wave folder, lowpass gate, and audio-rate modulations, but also a 12-mode filter and traditional VCA circuit.

All parts of the instrument are carefully circuit-modelled to sound as analog (or digital, where applicable) as possible. It’s like a best-of-all-worlds semi modular synth, but without the patch cables.

Fluss is a granular synthesizer and effect processor with a kinetic control interface, designed by Bram Bos and Hainbach.

Fluss makes full use of the touch capabilities of iOS devices to get you as close to the grains as possible. We created it to be both inviting and fun to play, yet sonically rich and full of sound creating possibilities.

You can set it up to process instruments live, or use it standalone to reshape your sound library into a shimmer of harmony and chaos. Play it like a synth or create generative patches that keep changing over hours. It is all in your hands, and you are the modulation.

The little shark is back.

After a quarter of a century, I am presenting a new – mobile – reinterpretation of the original Hammerhead Rhythm Station concept. It’s still simple, it’s still fun. It still features those mid-90s groovebox sounds. But this time, it is portable, it integrates in your mobile plugin ecosystem, and it comes with more creative possibilities.

Rozeta was the plugin collection that introduced MIDI plugins on iOS. Rozeta is the original collection of classic MIDI Audio Unit plugins that let you sequence and generate MIDI.

It contains Rozeta Bassline, Rozeta X0X, Rozeta LFO, Rozeta Rhythm, Rozeta Particles, Rozeta Cells, Rozeta Collider, Rozeta Arpeggio and Rozeta XY.

Note that Rozeta requires a plugin host that supports MIDI Audio Unit plugins. The plugins do not have a standalone mode.

Co-designed with Berlin-based electronic musician Hainbach, Gauss brings the oldschool tape-looping art form to mobile devices. This creative field looper works both standalone and as an Audio Unit effect plugin and puts the possibilities of using looped tapes in your hands. Without the need for scissors.

Like real tape loops Gauss takes you off the grid of your DAW: you can adjust tape speed and direction, even during recording. The flow of your loops will drift organically as the tape follows its own cyclical timeline.

Use overdub, or even multiple instances of the Audio Unit plugin, to create multi-layered ever changing sonic palettes.

Have you ever thought about making your own iOS MIDI plugins? Do you have creative ideas for MIDI filters, generative music tools, MIDI control panels, chaos experiments? But months of hard work and struggling with barely documented technology don’t sound like your thing?

Mozaic may be just the thing you’ve been waiting for: it gives you practical tools such as LFOs, pre-fab GUI layouts, musical scales, AUv3 support (with AU Parameters, transport events, tempo syncing, etc.), random generators and a super-simple yet powerful script language. Mozaic even offers quick access to your device’s tilt sensors for expressive interaction concepts!

The Mozaic Script language is designed from the ground up to be the easiest and most flexible MIDI language on iOS. A language by creatives, for creatives. You’ll only need to write a few lines of script to achieve impressive things – or to create that uber-specific thing that was missing from your MIDI setup.

A tale of two engines: each of the two synth sections has its own independent engine, influencing a complex system of invisible, interconnected LFOs. You never ‘control’ Mononoke, but rather steer it in a certain direction. The result is a constantly evolving sonic entity, yet with a distinct signature sound (in other words: this is not your bread-and-butter general purpose synthesizer).

What sets Mononoke apart from other synths is that its voices (4 in each section) can be routed back into each other in multiple ways, creating all sorts of overtones and pulsating resonant frequencies. Sometimes harmonic, sometimes weirdly atonal. Sometimes clear and delicate as icicles, sometimes harsh as metallic blades, sometimes soft as fresh snow. This interaction between voices helps fuse all layers together into a coherent musical landscape.

A different kind of drumsynth. Ruismaker Noir presents a hybrid approach between synthesized drums and rhythmic bass sounds – coming together in the fully integrated step sequencer. Throw in a nasty, dirty personality and you get something really new for the iOS platform.

Although Noir has a monophonic synthesis engine, the clever interplay with the sequencer and plethora of pitch/velocity modulation options can make it sound like many different sounds are playing, seamlessly blending into each other.

Perforator lets you add rhythm to simple sustained sounds: a rhythmic gating audio effect that will creatively snip, cut, gap and filter incoming audio to create rhythmic patterns out of your pads, strings, drones or any other audio stream you feed through it.

By tuning the slice envelopes you can create anything from classic staccato “trance gate” sounds to emulations of sloppy pumping sidechain compression.

WOOTT is an Audio Unit plugin (AUv3 audio effect) inspired by the infamous OTT sound.

WOOTT uses a triple band dynamics algorithm with simultaneous downwards AND upwards compression, and adds a dedicated limiter to each band.

The freedom and versatility of a modular synth in a stylish mobile package. In typical West Coast fashion the available modules, such as complex oscillator, lowpass gate, FM, mathematical utilities and slope generator, are designed for exploration and experimentation.

Even if you’re not familiar with modulars, wavefolders or control voltages you can dive right in, because all modules are prewired; offering a powerful monosynth without using a single cable. Then whip out the virtual cables and start patching. Ripplemaker is designed for fun – big enough to lose yourself into, yet intuitive enough to not get lost.

The legendary TB-303 has magical properties; it is filled to the brim with analog shimmer. Its output jack is a gateway to a parallel universe and when you twiddle the filter knobs an army of highly trained pixies chisel the square waves from freshly harvested unicorn souls. So if you want a TB-303, you should buy a TB-303. But if you’re after *that sound* Troublemaker will give you everything you need in spades.

Troublemaker sports a carefully crafted diode filter emulation and among the available oscillators are the typical raspy, nasal sawtooth and rubbery squarewave with its oddball shape and shifting pulsewidth. It also has the wow.

Ruismaker is a virtual analog drum synthesizer in the spirit of the iconic drum machines of the 20th century. No sampled sounds are used. Every single sound is fully synthesized using analog models, emulating electronic components – Introducing subtle differences in every hit; just like in the old days.

Kicks, snares, claps, toms, cowbells; each drum sound has its own independently modeled virtual circuit. Ruismaker has dozens of unique sound models, each one lovingly handcrafted to offer a signature character that can be personalized to match your tracks.

Ruismaker’s crazy twin-sister. Based on a clever FM synth model engineered to let you create a vast bandwidth of different sounds from scratch. From kicks and snares to alien sci-fi effects, growling bass sounds, zaps, blibs, chirps, wows, hits and hats. Easy to learn, fun to master.

Ruismaker FM makes for a great companion for Ruismaker (and shares its signature sound character), but also holds her own as a versatile drum synth. Create your own sounds, or use included presets as a starting point.

Kosmonaut is Multitap Delay with a twist. In addition to adding echoes to your audio, it packs a bunch of extra tools to put your music in space, such as a tape looper with with variable sound-on-sound decay level, an autopanner, an ambiance generator and a HAAS effect processor

Scatterbrain is a plugin audio effect, which chops up incoming audio into rhythmical steps and sends these slices out to multiple outputs in your plugin host. Additionally, it can add extra chaos and randomness by applying stutters/glitches and retriggers.

Note: Scatterbrain requires a plugin host that supports multi-channel Audio Unit plugins (such as Logic Pro or AUM).
