Kinda on your own.Īnalog kit's levels of containment do a nice job of hiding the spaghetti of wires ( like reason, where you flip the rack around to wire things up), and leaving a panel of reasonably sized controls, when you're ready to play. If they could sort out the knob turning to be easy I'd like to use it again.Īlso, none but very basic example projects are provided, and a couple crazy, giant masters degree projects. If you don't zoom way in, you usually end up moving the module around or disconnecting a cable. Zoom in on a knob, turn it, zoom out, scroll over for a while to another control, zoom in, turn it, zoom out. Audulous feels too fiddley to play with, once you'd made a patch. The funnest thing with modular synthesizers is playing with them after you put something together, which is why I'm spending time playing with analog kit. But Jasuto at $1 is worth a punt, if only for the iPhone access. Sound quality is inferior, the interface is annoying and it has fewer options. For some reason I find it less engaging, but I couldn't tell you why.įor the money I don't think Modular Synthesis is worth it.

It has more synthesis options with physical modelling and granular supported. It also comes with a range of step sequencers, pianoroll, etc. It probably has a better collection of modules, if at a higher level than Audulus. That said, ZMors Modular also has some nice features. Midi in seems pretty solid so far, with midi out promised (the possibilities, oh the possibilities). The interface for building sub-modules is great, it has a nice mixture of step sequencers and interface elements.

Yep, you can build your filters in this tool if you have the math. But I love that it's thre), or the fact that when I looked at the lowpass filter I realised I could open it up and see the components that drove it. Like wow), the fact that they built a flappy bird game using this toolkit and provided it as an example (do I need it. Possibly the crazy enthusiasm of the developers (I asked them for a PWM module - they built one in the tool and shared it with me. However it's annoyingly limited, the sub-module system is irritating and for some reason I'm never that inspired when using it.ĪnalogKit is less pretty (though engaging to look at for some reason), but it's just fun to use. Audulus is beautiful, works on the iPhone and has a great community. If I could only have one, it would be a choice between Audulus and AnalogKit.
