Free App, Saucillator, Lets You Design & Play Custom Synths

Green Noise has introduced Saucillator, a free app for iOS & Android tht lets you create and play your own custom synthesizers and instruments.

Here’s what they have to say about it:

“Inspired by the Korg Kaossilator and Moog synthesizers, Saucillator transforms mobile devices into a platform for creating and playing digital synthesizers. Users use the touchscreen to manipulate oscillators and effects, and can also do live-looping and recording. Our goal is to be beginner friendly while at the same time offering all the deep, complex features traditional synth users love.

Users are able to play custom synthesizers using the x-y axes of the touchscreen. The x-axis corresponds to amplitude (volume) and the y-axis corresponds to frequency (pitch). Playback can also be looped, recorded, and EQed using a Parametric EQ.

On top of performing, users are able to create their own custom synthesizers, which consist of a custom timbre and user-defined effects. A variety of timbres are included: Sine, Square, Saw, Pulse, Noise, Theremin, “Singing Saw”, “Electric Eel”, and “Starslide.” These, as well as any user-created synths, can be mixed and matched at different harmonics, amplitudes, and phases to create custom sounds.

Each synth has customizable fx parameters as well, including Envelope (ADSR – attack & release), Vibrato LFO (rate & depth), Tremolo, Delay, Distortion, Parametric EQ, and Note Lag (Portamento).”

You can also export your designs to share with others.

Saucillator is available now, for iOS & Android, as a free download.

    1. Apparently there are Docker and Qemu, but unless you know more about setting up Linux than you do about music even, it sounds as if it would be an uphill slog to get even a single iOS app running in Linux without problems. Good luck. But, really, there are Linux and Windows apps that do this build your own synth stuff already, and WinE is already much more advanced and easy to use than those aforementioned. Plus, you can get a real Kaossilator for $50 to $100, so, why go the tear your hair out over software route?

  1. I’ve had this app on my phone for almost 2 years now and have only used it a couple times. I never cared for software synths much.
