Description

Drambo is an innovative modular groovebox and audio processing environment. Modular components are used to build synthesized and sample based instruments or audio effects using high-quality DSP and audio-rate modulation. Tied to a powerful sequencer, it’s an optimal music creation tool for sound design, composition, performance and experimentation.

At the heart of Drambo lies an entirely new concept that makes modular creations easy, fun and affordable. Modules are connected automatically, with no cables as you add or rearrange them. A dynamic interface creates modulation knobs when you need them. Modules may house other modules, so you can keep your patch well organized. Of course, automatic connections can be overridden. In Drambo you can focus on playing with sound and signal structure without getting lost in wires.

Use a deep and innovative sequencer to compose patterns and whole tracks, for production or live performance. Go beyond simple looping sequences with parameter locking, conditional step components, parameters automation and powerful scene morphing. Drambo works equally well as a self-contained standalone app or audio unit plugin with audio and MIDI connectivity as an AUV3 instrument, audio effect and MIDI effect. No modular experience necessary to get started playing with preset sounds and effects.

You can use Drambo as

• A complete music production and performance environment

• Endless modular playground, that allows you to build, modify and store custom instruments and effects. For instance: build a custom synth, sample and resample, build a Theremin using a gyroscope module, or turn your table into a playable surface, by processing microphone input with physical modelling modules. Get weird or make functional instruments and tools.

• MIDI sequencer, that works with hardware and AUv3 instruments (e.g. Drambo sequences other instruments in an AU host app). Moreover Drambo can generate custom MIDI CC messages or modulation signals to control modular synths via DC coupled interfaces.

• AUv3 synthesizer, effect or sequencer in other DAWs. Drambo can replace a lot of audio plugins. For instance: you may use it as a chorus, phaser, reverb, filter, equalizer, complex modular delay, decimator, frequency shifter, MIDI effect or complex modulator for other synths. You may combine, modulate and sequence them in no time.

Features:

• Polyphonic, stereo processing and audio-rate modulation. All signals are equal. Up to 16 voices per modular instrument rack.

• Unique modular concept: cable-less, drag'n'drop, color coding dynamic interface, automatic connections, and customizable compact, rack views.

• Directional flow makes Drambo routing and patching straightforward. Signal flows only left to right, so there are no instant feedback routings in Drambo. Delayed feedback is possible using certain modules.

• Simple and clean interface, that scales to every size and device orientation

• Custom modular racks that can be nested, with presets at the track, rack, and module level.

• Clip launcher / song arrager.

• 16-tracks, polyphonic sequencer with parameter locks, automation and step components. 8 dedicated step sequence editor types, piano-roll, powerful automation designer with drawing modes and cubic Bezier curves.

• Audio Units hosting ( standalone app only )

• Over 130 modules available, such as: oscillators, samplers, physical modelling modules, LFOs, envelope generators, filters, audio effects, mixers, MIDI processors, sequencers and math functions.

• Morph groups: you can morph many parameters using a single slider.

• Available as a standalone app, AUv3 instrument, effect and MIDI effect.

• MIDI, MPE and Ableton Link support

With Drambo, you are in charge. Create the music from your vision to reality.

Believe the hype. It’s awesome!

Axle_65 on

All the reviews here stating the flexibility and shear power of this program, are speaking the truth. This app is wicked. It’s great as a sequencer, as an instrument, as a plug in audio effect, as a full blown MIDI DAW, the list goes on. About the only thing is doesn’t do is record audio tracks in a traditional sense. You can still do it with the sampler modules though and launch the recording in time with a MIDI note. It’s not ideal but it’s also not what the app is geared towards. If you want timeline style audio tracks you go with Logic, Cubasis 3 and apps like that.

Better than I thought it would be

Amazing and powerful

Indispensable : a must have

NeuralMute on

iOS is a lovely place for music software and plugins, but Drambo is *really* standout. There’s a bit of a learning curve, because of how powerful it is, but it’s worth it. Imagine the Elektron style hardware groove boxes workflow (perhaps friendlier), but each voice is a modular synth, effect for midi processor or something in between. Embrace the madness

A masterpeice

Ben Rosebery on

There’s nothing like drambo on any other platform, this is more than an ipad app, it’s a unique sound synthesis device that rivals any modular or hardware synth and lets you create some truly interesting arrangements with total control of most parameters (i’d like it if there were a way to set the ranges params for example more than +-24 semitones on the oscillator or finer grained control like the mini osc). It is also consistently improving and getting new features like the wonderful just-added spectrum/scope. I love drambo.

Essential

Fxdupas221 on

Best and deepest music app on the App Store. The possibilities are limitless, but still the incredibly well-thought UI makes it super accessible. It even works really well on a phone, both in portrait and landscape mode! It can the only music app you’ll ever need, but it plays so well with others (as it can host AUv3 plugins or itself be used as a plugin inside a DAW) that you can use it in any scenario or configuration. I would pay gold to have a VST Mac/PC version of Drambo. Pure genius.

Wow…

onehandedgamer23 on

I have never reviewed or commented on anything as quickly as I have for this gem. And yes I said anything, not app, ANYTHING. I know I’ve only touched the surface but just going through the menus and seeing what this is capable of is pretty mind blowing. The fact that something as powerful as this is this accessible is just incredible…. Hats of to the Devs!

Still Amazing but very unstable with latest release

ellson73 on

Even more has been added in this latest release yet it feels like when I finally decide to dive into the app, there are many many bugs and glitches abound! I hope they get ironed out soon :(

Wow

Perry Pelican on

Do you want to learn modular or do you just like the modular concept? If so then you need this wonderful app. It is so well thought out and is very solid. Updates come often. There are many excellent how to youtube videos, so anyone can get going creating in no time. I like it a lot and imagine it growing and growing with more and more components. Do you want to have fun and create cool quality sounds and sequences then this app is the way to go. You can use it as standalone but better still in an au host where there is no limit.

Incredible

Quite enjoying this but I wish there was a redo button next to the undo button. Seems there is room for one.

Really incredible

Dogbiy on

Even on the phone it’s super usable. Best most complete groovebox app I’ve seen on mobile. Very powerful. Extremely well thought out interface, designed from the ground up for touch screens. Knowledge of modular music systems and hardware sequencers isn’t required but you’ll have an easier time if you have some. Probably not for people looking for something simple but if you are serious about making electronic music on mobile this is really one of the best things out.
