Jasuto

pros: animating the modules, with their distances from each other changing values in between- AMAZING! lots of great modules and the sound quality is quite decent (way better than audulus and in some cases, more refined than mirack). great price point! cons: needs an update badly! with ios14 features like auv3 effect/instument version.. as well as access to the file browser. of course, bugs fixes that others have mentioned here as well.

Update: When this synth app was first released it was a marvel. But there it pretty much sat for years and years, falling behind standard technologies, existing in an apparent vacuum, slowly becoming ‘odd man out’. Being ‘only’ designed for AudioBus greatly cripples it’s usefulness. Now that I’ve switched from AUM to apeMatrix there’s no looking back. No IAA, no AUv3, no Ableton Link, etc. It’s a shame as Jasuto had a good PDF manual. I’ll leave it at 3-stars, for now, in hopes that this developer will bring Jasuto into modern times. —— I think I missed the 64-bit update, having deleted Jasuto since it wasn’t working any longer and ‘appeared’ to be no longer supported. I was searching on ‘synth’ looking for anything new and stumbled across Jasuto. I about did a summer-salt downloading it immediately. Jasuto was the first synth app I ever owned. It’s a little disappointing though that Jasuto doesn’t support IAA, Ableton Live, etc., so it sorta is a novelty app for now. It is a cryptic comment by Chris. According to his Jasuto manual He joined Apple in 2008. He’s picking up on something from 11 years ago? Good PDF user manual.

yay.

Super powerful app. I’ve Hardly scratched the surface and already creating weird and wild sounds. No need to be a programming genius to git this bugga shimmering. Considering the depth of this thing I will be immersed for some time.

This update is a wonderful surprise! Thank you for taking the time to ensure this wonderful piece of software can live on for many more years (hopefully). 128-bit isn't going to be required next month, is it? Curious about your cryptic comment : 'priority to what [you] were working on prior to joining Apple'???

I can't think of a modular iOS app that I've used longer than Jasuto. It's definitely fiddly, but you this thing can do simple synthesis all the way through building a vocoder. Highly recommended, especially if Chris keeps adding to it.

Thank you baby jesus!!been waiting years for an update fir this awesome app!!!!!

I never write reviews, but I had express my joy and admiration to the Dev for updating to 64 bit! Jasuto is one of the most powerful modular environments around (FFT analysis and spectral effects) but with an amazing design focused on the fact that this is running on a touchscreen platform. The distance between nodes affects their modulation strength, so you can "play" your scenes - and, even better, with motion recording, those modulations become complex LFOs. No idea if the Dev will have time to add in modern features (Ableton Link, AUv3, etc.), but regardless, this is still amazingly capable after all these years (and with FFT and motion recording more capable than other, more recent, options) and well worth adding to the collection of any audio explorer.

Any chance we might see a version compatible with iOS12.. really missing this app. Don’t want any new features just to be able to use it again!

Edit: hoping this gets upgraded to iOS 11 (64 bit)... ________________ Original review: Holy Amazecow! First off: cannot believe I waited this long to try Jasuto. Modular creaminess galore. Does loads of things - drum synth, sequences, fx, pads, self-generating ambient 'scapes, very thick sexy basses, and once you get used to the kind of weird but efficient workflow it's really easy to tweak stuff simply by moving the modules around. I have almost every other modular available for iPhone, but can already tell this is going to be more fun and sonically rewarding than the rest. Just... WOW.
