Ruismaker (Bram Bos) has introduced Solderbox, a compact semimodular synthesizer for iOS, made in collaboration with synthesist and mobile music making guru Jakob Haq.
Solderbox is heavily based on Haq’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.
Here’s the official intro video from Haq:
Features:
- Full Audio Unit compatibility (AUv3 instrument, audio effect)
- Universal design (iPhone, iPad, MacOS AUv3)
- Built-in Pulsequencer (LFO-based generative melody generator with custom scales)
- 4 mode Low-pass filter (6, 12, 18, 24 dB)
- 3 voice polyphony
- Drone mode
- Stackable patch cables
- DIY Lo-Fi digital delay circuit emulation
- All synth settings exposed a AU Parameters (for automation and MIDI learning in your host of choice)
Pricing and Availability:
Ruismaker Solderbox is available now for $12.99 USD.
