- Live Mode: 6 pads to tweak the frequency and cutoff of the generated patterns in real time.
- Drum Machine with 15 drumkits.
- 36 sampled instruments.
- Analog Synth with two oscillators, featuring ring modulation, frequency modulation and ADSR control.
- Global harmonic control: change all the arpeggiators tune settings from a single place.

Here’s an example track made with Oscilab:
Oscilab is priced at US $9.99 for iPad and Android, but it is currently available at an introductory price of $4.99.

Bought it and played with it right after it was available. Fun tool, especially on android that doesn’t get that much synth love. I run it on a Samsung Note II without problems. Good Sound and fun to work with.
Amazing app. Immersive. Really solid, suitable for live music. the price is a steal
MIDI?
Bought it and it was love at first play. Worth every penny spent.
No MIDI or Audiobus although the dev said they’re at the top of the todo list.
Pointless on Android, no way to connect it to anything without latency.
Except that this is also a sequencer. The latency on Android only affect touch screen operations.
It doesn’t connect to anything anyway, so what difference could latency possibly make?
It’s not pointless on Android. It’s the first Software I bought on Android to make music with. Normaly I buy Apps for my iPad, but this worked really well on Android, and I couldn’t see where the iOs Version should be better for a Sequencer plus Soundgenerator Type of App.
$5 !! Woking well on the Samsung galaxy s3
Great APP – reminds me of Korg Gadget, but better I think. I’ve been having a lot of fun with it.
Damn great piece of code! Others should take note from this as how a non traditional interface can be done right: legible, logical, intuitive. And what a no-brainer for waveform manipulation/sculpting…brilliant. And THANK YOU for the landscape orientation. Honestly people, it’s an app with everything done right thus far…now on with the requisite Audiobus, midi, IAA, and whatever useful toolkit goodies to take an iOS synth seriously.
I agree, the interface is so well thought out. I worked it out in a matter of minutes and kept discovering lots of hidden treasures. Just awesome!
At first I was like (: /)
but then I was like (: D)
Really Fn cool!
Recommended. None of the samples are usable for my tastes, but maybe they will add more or let you import as updates are issued. The oscillator options are killer. It’s always a joy to compose in a new way, and this app will be fierce when midi is added. I will be looking forward to seeing audiobus, midi, and wist added.
Downloaded it on my android smartphone. Hope it is good.
Really great app! i usually play gospel songs at church, but found this tool to make very fun music at sparetime!
