Description

Ripplemaker: a West Coast Flavored (Semi-)Modular Synth The freedom and versatility of a modular synth in a stylish mobile package. In typical West Coast fashion the available modules, such as complex oscillator, lowpass gate, FM, mathematical utilities and slope generator, are designed for exploration and experimentation. The virtual patch cables will let you take your sound wherever you want to take it, from morphing basslines to evolving generative drones. A modular playground Even if you’re not familiar with modulars, wavefolders or control voltage you can dive right in, because all modules are prewired; offering a powerful monosynth without using a single cable. Then whip out the virtual cables and start patching. Ripplemaker is designed for fun - big enough to lose yourself into, yet intuitive enough to not get lost. Standalone sequencer goodness Sometimes you want to get away from your DAW and just play. That’s why Ripplemaker, beside being an AU plugin, also comes with a standalone sequencer app that helps you get creative. It has a random pattern generator with scale locks, a realtime probability-based mutation engine and it syncs with your other apps and hardware via Ableton Link or MIDI Clock. Download the user manual on www.ruismaker.com Connectivity beyond cables: obviously in a modular synth it’s all about cables. But Ripplemaker takes connectivity to the another level: - AUv3 (Audio Unit Plugin) Extension for use in iOS DAWs - Universal design (works on iPad 4+, iPhone 5S+, iPod Touch 6G+) - CoreMIDI, Virtual MIDI, Bluetooth MIDI, - Audiobus 3, including AB3 MIDI IN+OUT and State Saving - Ableton Link - MIDI Clock Sync - WAV export, MIDI file export, AU preset export

    This app is exactly what I was looking for. Versatile synth and sequencer. Nice modular patching. Extremely easy to use. I was able to start a patch on my iphone and transfer it to my iPad. I like to make 3 min film cues and then add to or edit them elsewhere. What I immediately liked about this app is that its not TOO simple or TOO complex. It generates good random patterns too! And it’s all on one screen. Don’t let the simple interface fool you, this is a powerful unit. I love the west coast “energy” and tone. Its sounds great. My complaints: 1) Ableton link won’t sync phone-and-pad (or anything) and the 2) Bluetooth crashes both units. 3) I wish it would tell you which patch is loaded like other synths do. 4) Also the two different load and save areas took getting used to. Hoping for some minor improvements but overall this is a great synth.

    This synth is absolutely superb. It may seem confusing at first, but take the time to experiment with different connections and see how the components act on each other. Once it clicks, you will have a world of possibilities in one ridiculous steal of an app. Or I suppose you could buy a synth module that does the same thing for 800-1500 dollars. 💁🏻‍♂️
  • No NanoStudio 2 or GarageBand support?

    Not recognized by NanoStudio 2 or GarageBand. The sequencer standalone also seems to have no sound output. Am I missing something here?
  • Perfect for Kraftwerkian type percussion!

    One of the best IOS synth apps I come across for getting that resonant electro thip type sound popularized by Kraftwerk back in the 70s which also is very similar to the sounds Chipmunks make when they are warning other chipmunks of a potential danger!
  • Modular synth for beginners!

    This is the first modular synth, digital or otherwise, that I’ve experimented with yet. The dev is right in calling his app “intuitive”: I was able to get up and running within an hour. Still exploring the possibilities and am sure many months of fun are ahead.
  • I love it.

    I love everything this developer creates. All apps by you guys are top shelf.
  • Kinda like an 0-coast but plays nicer.

    Near perfect app, just needs an option to adjust note resolution on the sequencer! (Pretty please.)
  • A great intro to modular synthesis

    I’m not really a modular guy; I always feel like I’m doing it wrong. One thing I love about this synth is that the presets are not only fantastic and well-rounded, but they serve as a starting point for further exploration. And did I mention, the synth sounds great!

    All Bram Bros apps are my go to apps in Cubasis 2. They all work seamlessly as AU. Helping me create music I could only dream of with my synth hardware. Developer is number one in my book! Cheers and thanks!!
