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.

App keeps crashing?

This is the best electronic music app on IOS full stop.

I’ve tried many iPad music apps over the years, and it’s always been enjoyable, but I’ve always felt quite constrained, and iPad has for the most part been a toy, for me. Drambo changes all of that. It’s hard to explain exactly what this app does to a newbie, and in fact it’s almost easier to list what it doesn’t do, which is audio tracks. Apart from that it does basically everything else you could want and can fit into the workflow of basically anyone. You can use this app as a standalone modular grove box, that can host auv3s. It’s similar to Bitwig or Reaktor stapled to a Digitact, but it really doesn’t stop there. You can also use Drambo itself as an AUV3 inside of other hosts such as AUM, or Logic Pro and that’s where it gets crazy. It can be a modular synth complete with wavetables and tons of other toys. It can be a a robust full featured sampler. It can be a midi sequencer with clip launching and song mode, which is a game changer for aum. It can be a midi CC modulator, with LFOs and MSEGs, which is also a game changer for aum. It can be a multi effect processor with reverbs, delays, compressor, ect. Even if you only want it for one of those use cases, it’s worth the money, and if your at all like me it will soon work its way into every project, and become your go to for just about everything. If you can only get one app for electronic music making this is the one. I would gladly pay triple what this costs.

So freaking cool.

This app is amazing. It's like ableton, a modular and an elektron device in one. I'd give it 6 stars if I could. I own some pretty expensive hardware and haven't used it since I started using drambo ( except for the times I sampled my synth with drambo). Considering selling a couple elektron boxes or a mpc live 2 now to fund an iPad pro.

Worth buying an iPad

An iPad would be a worthwhile purchase just for Drambo, with its deep ability to design sounds and build complete tracks. Easily the best bang for your buck music software on the market on any platform.

Just plain brilliant

The level of robustness and polish here is rarely seen in the mobile music world.

Great app.

This is a great groove box with very cool modulation features, but UNDO function is so limited which makes this app so frustrating to use, you can basically screw up the whole project with a single swipe. I really hope it will be improved soon.

Beware, beware and save with care!

Spent all day learning Drambo and working on my first project. There’s a lot to like here, however my experience took a very unfortunate turn. Here’s some advice: Don’t save your project with a “/“ in the name. I made the mistake of calling mine “Funk A/D” since those were the main chords in the project. (You can probably guess where this is going.) Drambo will not warn you about the invalid name, but will pretend to save your data while actually trashing the whole thing. I made multiple edits to my project, saving after each. Not only does Drambo not sanitize the user inputs, it doesn’t verify the save or implement any error handling afaict. Lost all my work.

Ridiculously Powerful

I’m deducting one star because it feels (to me) like the UI can get in its own way some times, especially when I need to do a bit of menu diving. But this is such and endlessly powerful and versatile app that you kind of have to expect to spend some time learning the interface.

Incredible and essential

Has everything you need to make complete tracks, experimentations, jams..it does basically everything you could ask for and does it efficiently. I would have paid double and still felt like I was getting a steal.

Amazing Groovebox/DAW

Josepablo91 on

United States

Drambo is such a fun and powerful groovebox with constant updates. Totally worth for the price. The cmodular approach is quite intuitive and provides a lot of flexibility for experimentation and generative stuff. I would like to see the piano roll snapping to the scale in a future update.
