## Mononoke Description
Mononoke is an unconventional synthesizer, designed to compose evolving soundscapes and musical textures. 

Feedback routing
What sets Mononoke apart from other synths is that its voices (4 in each section) can be routed back into each other in multiple ways, creating all sorts of overtones and pulsating resonant frequencies. Sometimes harmonic, sometimes weirdly atonal. Sometimes clear and delicate as icicles, sometimes harsh as metallic blades, sometimes soft as fresh snow. This interaction between voices helps fuse all layers together into a coherent musical landscape. 

A tale of two engines
The synthesizer engines (each of the two sections has its own independent engine) have relatively simple controls, which influence a complex system of many invisible, interconnected LFOs. But this is not your bread-and-butter general purpose synthesizer: think of Mononoke as one huge FM synthesizer where each voice is an independently playable operator. Together all operators contribute to a single soundscape.

Expressive pads
Complex soundscapes can be created live, using the 8 performance pads which let you modulate each voice independently in several dimensions. Your interactions with the pads will also be sent out as MPE/MIDI (when loaded as an AU plugin in a compatible host) so you can record and tweak your session. The onscreen pads can be latched individually so some voices can be used as drones, while others as can be added and removed as extra sonic layers. The pads are fully integrated in the Audio Unit plugin.

Connectivity
Mononoke is designed as an AUv3 plugin, with advanced Audio Unit features such as MPE input and output (!), a fully exposed array of AU parameters for automation and all the connectivity and scalability you can expect from modern plugins. 

The standalone mode is basic (just meant for jamming and creating presets) and does not offer any connectivity, so if you want to use Mononoke in conjunction with other apps and effects you'll need to load it into a host, such as Garageband, Audiobus, AUM or Cubasis.

Summary:
- Audio Unit (AUv3) plugin
- 8 voice polyphony, 2 independent engines with 4 voices each
- Compatible with MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression) and MIDI
- MIDI Input and Output (only available when used as an Audio Unit plugin)
- Limited standalone mode for jamming (full screen, no connectivity)
- 8 independently tunable performance pads for expressive interaction
- Universal, fully scalable to any screen size, supports fullscreen mode in AU hosts
- Freely tunable voices, or quantized to semitones (with overall finetuning)
- iOS10 (MIDI/MPE output from the plugin requires iOS11) or higher

Also contains Mononoke Pads: an extra AUv3 MIDI controller plugin for playing MPE compatible synths using Mononoke's pads. Note: this is a separate plugin which will be installed in your MIDI Plugin collection. Mononoke Pads requires iOS 11.

## Mononoke Reviews in United Kingdom

### ***** "Superb"
This is a really enjoyable synth to play with, it was a bit of an impulse pour chase but I’m so glad I did. Plus, you can tune each channel to any note you like which is really handy. I actually didn’t find this difficult at all to get going with and making amazing sounds. It’s pretty easy really, and comes with a decent amount of presets to get you going. Lovely stuff.

### ***** "Removed"

### ***** "It’s a drone deal"
Excellent synth, works incredibly well. Expressive, expansive and fun.
-- Gazzle71, 2020-03-13

### ***** "Fantastic"
This is just my cup of tea. Brilliant. Versatile. Works great on AUM coupled with various effects processors. Must-buy for lovers of ambient and drone soundscapes.
-- ansonort, 2020-02-12

### ***** "Love it"
I'm relatively new to iOS music making, but ambient is my thing, and a drone synth like Mononoke made my creative journey easier, more beautiful, and more fun to learn. I look forward to more from Bram Box.
-- LWP1st, 2020-01-31

### ***** "High 5 🖐🏽"
The latest updates that show the notes, as well as the note generator facility borrowed from a few of his other great sequencers has made this much more user-friendly to work use in performance and jamming 😎 Was actually using it when update came through, so removed and replaced with the updated version before uploading a vid. Sweet timing ✌🏽
-- Versopoet, 2020-01-29

### ***** "Not for the easily amused"
You need to spend a bit of time with this and get under the hood. Once you do, it’s a beautifully expressive synth - and probably more of an instrument than a synth. Another great app from of the more interesting leftfield developers on the App Store
-- Mister davies, 2020-01-25

### ***** "Take your time to get into this darkly warm beastie."
On first listen, you may think it doesn’t ‘do’ very much but you need to nurture it and take some time to understand that you’re never going to be able to fully control it! I’ve used it in a chain with a harmoniser and loooong reverb and it sounds amazing; hypnotic, angry at times and darkly warm.
-- otolags, 2020-01-24

### ***** "Ambient Masterpiece"
If you love ambient electronic music and want to create your own, then this app allows you to create amazing drone sounds that can be unpredictable but add movement to your compositions. Take some time to get to know the controls. Play with it in AUM and mix with effects and you will not be disappointed. Different from other iOS synths, but another brilliant app from Bram Bos.
-- Positiveforever, 2020-01-24

### ***** "Beautiful and ethereal"
A gorgeous and unique drone synth. You can play this for hours in a blissed-our reverie
-- Richard Yot, 2020-01-24

### ***** "Read the Manual"
Anyone slating this needs to read the description before purchasing and then read the manual to get an understanding of how this thing works.

It’s amazing!
-- Appassin Greed, 2020-01-24

### ***** "Excellent addition to iOS music making"
Read the description by all means, but using it is far better - a universe of sounds to explore.
-- bptee, 2020-01-24

### ***** "I struggle to put this down"
Scratches an itch I never knew I had, feels like my best guitar feedback session ever, every time I play it.
-- xrupa, 2020-01-24

### ***** "Awesome beast!"
If you want expressive, evolving and controllable drones and backwashes, this the THE app for the job. Glorious touch-pad controls for MPE expression and voice-mangling. Drama-in-a-box goodness.
-- JayBee6244, 2020-01-24

### ***** "Another classic"
There are few app developers I would back without any hesitation. Bram is one of those few though. 

Mononoke is another well thought out classic, an essential addition to a very impressive back catalogue. 

Keep up the great work 🙌🏻
-- P Bux, 2020-01-24

### ***** "Breaks the mold of iOS music software"
If you like drones and experimental sounds or interesting performance interfaces, this is for you. A great and unusual instrument, from a reliably excellent iOS developer.
-- bengersfood, 2020-01-19

### ***** "Drone on..."
This thing is insane! In the best possible way. Bit of a learning curve, but half the fun is in the tweaking.
-- Andyshortie, 2020-01-19

### ***** "Just massive"
Sssooooo good.
-- Brian Rice, 2020-01-17
