Modulin

Analog Modeling Mono Synth

Published by: Grant Emerson

Description

Modulin is the world's most customizable synthesizer. It allows for unique personal expression while providing a wide spectrum of visual feedback. The playful colored strings are visually appealing while providing the user with fluent modulation of Modulin's LFO. The LFO replicates the vibrato effect heard throughout an orchestra or choir. The LFO can be set to four different wave types: Sinuous, Triangle, Sawtooth, and Square. It also can be set to a wide variety of frequency ranges. Modulin's oscillator can also be set to these four waveforms, but its pitch is controlled by the strings and a tuning knob. A simple low-pass filter allows you to cut off the unnecessary frequencies. The glide rate knob on Modulin creates a fluent portamento effect and allows for some pretty cool instrument replications. A slider located in the middle of the effects view can be dragged to reveal different effects and extra sound makers. Modulin includes reverb, delay, and chorus. It also contains a separate white noise module. Modulin simulates paraphonicness by allowing for a second VCO multiplied to form a gap of up to 2 octaves. Below all the knobs, an ADSR control allows you to manipulate the attack, decay, sustain, and release of your sounds.
Modulin truly is the complete package for channeling your inner-composer. It can even record and store your works of art. A record button allows you to lay down a beat and overwrite it with complex melodies. The tracks button allows you to manage your tracks as you add them.
New to synthesis? No problem. Modulin has an explore section that takes you through every component in an analog synthesizer, describing what it does alongside a diagram of how signals flow through it.
Master of all things musical? Modulin's got you covered again. You can change the root note, octave, and type of scale that Modulin uses. If you feel really confident, you could even turn off the note names in the settings and try to memorize where everything is.
With over 40 presets and other preset packages to buy, you will never run out of new and unique sounds. Even if you do, you can create your own and save it for later or share it with friends by the swipe of your finger.
Fat fingers? Don't worry. With Modulin’s design, you can plug in an external MIDI keyboard and play it however you like. You can even map certain knobs on Modulin to knobs on your keyboard. It's magic!
The more you explore Modulin, the more fun it becomes. You can personalize it by adding your own custom color or amp up the expression through the pressure sensitivity setting.

Octave shift

Dalianguy on

United States

I’ve just started using this, but thought I could respond to the two reviews complaining about not finding the octave shift. In the scale dropdown menu, the octave is the number in the middle, between the root note and scale type. Also, there is tutorial documentation in the “explore” button.

Meh

Note_Luver on

i could POSSIBLY give this a FIVE STAR, however...there is no user guide or anything i can find for help. Maybe i dont understand synths? Yet i have had a Model D since the earlly 70’s and have amassed a hardware collection modular/semi-mod/analogue/fm/keyboard/desktop/groovboxes etc. perhaps i am not technical? Yesi have been a software engineer since 88 I am going to delete this app mow as i cannot find how to switch octaves. Assume you can transpose somehow? Who knows but a user guide—even a high-level one because if am struggling think of all the folks who just moved on and mever bothered to tell you why. It takes all of a few hours to write

Love it!

This app sounds GREAT and I love the interface! I highly recommend it!

Amazing and Original

NoUserErrorHere! on

United States

Super fun sound design playground and wonderfully original UI. It sounds great too!

Surprised at its potential but needs development

xxCheckmatexx on

United States

I was pleasantly surprised at this synth and love the non piano key approach to synthesis with the expression of the strings. Adjusting the glide and customization is great at coming up with some interesting sounds. Ableton Live Link would be a game changer. And there doesn’t seem to be any export function or even Apple Files integration for the tracks you record...seemingly basic functionality? More presets and add on packs are needed too. The UI could use a bit of polish but I think this is a great synth with potential!

Just not useful or fun.

Eriptron on

United States

It introduces audio artifacts. The UI is a plain in the arse. Presets are bland. The app has no punch. No dynamics and sounds more like a toy. 99 cents is a good price. The add on is a waste of 99 cents as they sound weak and amateurish. A waste of two dollars is not a terroble waste though I definitely was not paying the original asking price. Of no real use but to kids playing around. I five it 2-stars since it has a fair tutorial on the aspects of a synth.

Awesome Little Synth

Grant1001 on

United States

As a beginner getting into synthesis, I found this app very helpful and entertaining. The explore section was an interesting way to discover analog synthesis. I also find the interface very intuitive and entertaining with the bendy strings. It sounds amazing and works great with my midi keyboard.

Bought the expansion pack

Lundberg02 on

United States

Purchase confirmed, did not install anywhere, waste of money, developer did not answer two emails. Edit: developer responded, his site had failed to forward, he is working the problems reported by many users, looking forward to his solution. Edit again: the Philharmodulin preset is now installed with many more instruments and sounding good. Don’t know where the octave shift is, or I might go to five stars.

Get this synth

This new synths has one of the cleanest and approachable designs I have ever seen. You can use it to learn about how modular synths work but it is a lot of fun to play as well. It also sounds great.
