S - Modular v1.0

S - Modular is really original. A great concept. It’s not a real synthesizer because it doesn’t come with a keyboard and it doesn’t support the Midi too. It’s more a Drone Machine, a Noise Generator, a Bass Liner, or a 4 steps Arpeggiator. before describing all the features, I would like to talk about a few things that I really love in this App. First, the wires colour that you can change with a singleTap. It’s simple, but it helps you a lot when you are using a lot of connections. Secondly, the 4 steps sequencer with its 3 tracks and 3 VC outputs. In play mode, it’s a “conventional” sequencer. In pause mode, you can select the step to be played. To finish, all the sound generator modules come with a VC output.
The modules:
1/ 2 Oscillators with 4 waveforms types and a noise option, an octave, a semitone and a fine tune settings. CV input & output.
2/ 2 LFOs with 2 rotary knobs. They allow you to mix 2 of the 3 waveforms and shapes types available. A rate, a fade knobs, a sync Tempo and a Pre switches. 2 CV output.
3/ A low pass filter with a resonance, a cut-off and a modulation. A CV input is also present.
4/ A high and low pass filter with a cut-off frequency, a peak, a modulation and a CV input too.
5/ 2 ADSRs with CV output.
6/ 2 Amp modules, with 2 CV inputs (1 for the modulation), 2 outputs for each.
7/ A delay: speed, feedback and mix with a low and high pass.
8/ A Mixer with 4 inputs 1 Master output and 2 sub outputs.
9/ A Master out section with a LP 12 filter mix.
10/ To finish a 3 tracks sequencer.
To tell you the truth, usually, I am not a big fan of modular Apps because I love to work fast, but here, no problem because S - Modular is very easy to use and also very well done. The generated sound is great. A Killer App!
