Saucillator

Inspired by the Korg Kaossilator and the Moog synthesizer, Saucillator transforms mobile devices into a platform for creating and playing digital synthesizers. It uses the touchscreen to manipulate oscillators and effects, and it also allows for live-looping and recording.
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 small variety of timbres are included: Sine, Square, Saw, Pulse, Noise (white)*, 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), LFO (rate & depth), Delay (rate & decay), and Note Lag.

Other abilities:-Choose scale: Pentatonic, Major, Minor, Blues, or Chromatic-Choose the base note for the pad. -Control the grid size.-Record to the SD card.-Toggle visualizations. More to come here.

Notes:*I fully intend to make noise scale with frequency and actually become useful (e.g. "Red" Noise).

Permissions Needed:
- SD card access: for saving instruments and recordings.
- Vibration: For haptic feedback.

Special thanks to Garrett Langley (http://dribbble.com/glangley) for helping with design and general usability.

Saucillator 2.0 Buffalo. I think it's the sauce, boss!

It's absolutely the best of its type. It's not perfect but it's extremely useable & more fun than it has any right to be. As a musician/producer, I can see me finding a use for this app on a professional level. The record feature is a small but important addition allowing you to use this app in collaboration with other music production apps. It takes up no memory space at all & the ability to be able to tweek the sounds only adds further to this apps usability. We'll done

Awesome app! Very fun to play around with. Could use a little work with fine tuning the hit boxes on buttons and dials, to make them easier to hit (or miss). Otherwise, this is a pretty great synthesizer, with a simple design that gets the job done well. Thank you, developer :-)

Absolutely awesome! Definitely the best synthesizer you can find on Google play, and I absolutely love it! I do have a suggestion tho: Please expand the looper function, for ex. add the option to create a custom beat (with a grid, like some beat makers have). Other from that, it definitely deserves a 9.7/10. Keep up the good work!

The only reason why I'm not giving this app 5 stars is because when i minimize the app and expand again, i can't open any of the menus, so i jave to restart the app again. Also it keeps telling me that it's for an older android version but i see no other updates. Other than that it's a great app. Simple, intuitive and great fun.

Definitely my favorite "phone instrument"! Great sounds, lots of options but still easy to play. One feature that would really make this app an A+ would be an option to show pitch names in the grid. This would make it more useable in live settings when the key changes.

Interesting app. Its sliders knobs are huge on my screen (very small resolution) & its really hard to get them to move. Thats what makes the rating so low from me. Other then that its a pretty nice app with some really nice features & despite the flaws that I experienced on my outdated & small device I was able to put a nice sounding beat toguether.Thumbs midway:not down because I cant hate the dev & not up because it does not work well 4 me.Tell me if u fixed it so that I can try it out again.

The app itself is overall ok, although I would like a bit more flexibility it has heaps of potential to get better. HOWEVER, my deal breaker is how the app behaved on my phone. My phone is kind of defective and can glitch out at times, but for some reason this app triggered my phone to constantly vibrate when my phone was on silent, started glitching out the screen and the sound to the point where I could not close the app and I had to turn off my phone. I've had the screen and sound glitches before on my phone, but not the vibrating one and it concerned me. I instantly uninstalled it. I'm not sure if this was caused by my phone or on the developers end, but it still concerned me at the end of the day. (I have a Samsung Galaxy J5 Prime)

The EQ doesent really seem to work. I can't get a simple muffled bass sound out of the saw wave. The interface is a bit finicky too. The knobs don't really react how I would expect. I think there is potential if these issues were fixed.

I'm heartbroken. I just 'recorded' so much audio through this app. Only to get the notification AFTER the files were nowhere to be found, that the app only works with older phones. I actually almost cried. Cool

The best one. The deafult star instrument is awesome. Enabling visuals from settings is cool. Trying to create music is fun. So much I actually set one as my ringtone. It's unfortunate it did not not receive any update after 2014.

I absolutely love this app. The Looper is magnificent. To pack so much synth into such a small app, shows how ingeniously it's been written. Still seems to work perfectly under the latest Android (10).

Simple. Strait forward. Clean smooth interface. With additional features this might be one to watch. Way better than some $100 paid apps.

Ive tried many others synthisizer and music creation tools; after precious few seconds I say 5 stars. Bravo! Notice the file size and i am reminded of my earliest computer, a commodore Amiga 4000. Thank you! Tiz a great example of tidy coding. An example to all users and creators.

It's not perfects, faint static sounds at times but it's still a great tool to have for musicians

GAU. V. Jan 19, 2019     

great app but i suggest a few tweaks like the words dont fit in the app in some places andnthe interface is too much simple but i guess would be great if you modified some of the UI

Gab. M. Jan 1, 2019     

amazing app so much fun to play with and the record feature is the best part you can record all kinds of really cool blends and save it to play for your friends it's great!!!

Choppy audio on my device. Could be fun to sweep around the pads (volume and scale-based pitch) for a while otherwise.

Mar. A. Jan 12, 2019     

nice synth. unfortunatly I get weird humming when opening the app. everything else is working but that humming sound is louder than synth sounds.

Mil. B. Apr 27, 2021     

Excellent! Often can match music fine. Does lack a lot of types of scales though.

Bra. W. Mar 20, 2021     

Wow this is so cool ,try it ,new to modular synth a ,but this is really easy and fun ethereally pet your cat ,scratch your phones ear ,or whatever u can think of ,close your eyes and wow ,awesome)

REV. E. Mar 25, 2021

Fas. S. W. J. A. M. P. Mar 8, 2020     

Truly fantastic app. As a beginner, it'd be great if there was a tutorial. Still a fantastic app tho 🤘
