Kinda like an 0-coast but plays nicer.. Near perfect app, just needs an option to adjust note resolution on the sequencer! (Pretty please.)

Exactly what I've been looking for. I've been wanting a modular app with more of a West Coast flavor... and this fits perfectly. Though I wouldn't mind a second slope generator to replace the ADSR which would lend itself a bit more to the West Coast style (or a way to switch that module between the two). But that's a minor request, this app is exactly what I've been looking for and overlaps with actual modular gear I have, so I can use it as a sketchpad for real patches. Great job, Thanks!

Cool synth, not really a playground. Fun and efficient. I opened up this au 30x on my ipad with hardly any cpu load. The only thing i do not like is the filter. I wish it were a nice juicy resonant moog lpf....

Scale modes. Awesome but please add Locrian and Mixolydian to scale modes (and possibly even a custom scale option). Locrian in particular would be great.

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!

Modular tones and fun to go. Does a great job of recreating realistic modular sounds with lots of flexibility. Other than the characteristic sound my favorite part is playing with the sequencer probability triggers.

It's a modular synth.. If you don't know what a modular synthesizer is, you probably shouldn't get this, not unless you're willing to do a little bit of reading and experimenting. The one reviewer rating this poorly makes a good point about this probably not being a great beginner app. But his disappointment could have been avoided had he taken a cursory look at the ins and outs (ha ha) of modular synth patching, etc. If you are familiar at all with serious music making in iOS then you would probably notice right away that the keyboard screenshot displayed is clearly the keyboard in Cubasis. It is un-missable (or at least it should be). In addition, I'm pretty sure most (if not all) of Bram Bros apps are used as audio unit plug-ins in your fave DAW. Duh. So, what I'm trying to say is…please disregard that review. If you have any familiarity with using modulars, you will enjoy this app. I personally like the anachronism of a software instrument that requires you to manually form patches. It's quaint, and while it isn't really an ideal modern workflow (unless you are very familiar with how modular synths work), it is a tried and true interface in which the journey by which you reach a particular patch is just as important as the final sound you create.

I love it.. I love everything this developer creates. All apps by you guys are top shelf.

My favorite new app!. I got this just as a curiosity. I bought it on Monday and after playing with it for a couple of hours decided to make it a central part of my performance on Tuesday. It worked great! And now, with banana style patching, I can see this is going to be fun for a long time. Cheers Bram Bos!

Misleading pictures, there's no keyboard. Guess that's it imbedded into something else. Just a fidgety, unintuitive sequencer, with no instructions except on their website. Sounds ok but this shouldn't be aimed at beginners or the inexperienced.

Love it, wish sequencer was in the AUv3. Sounds great and so much fun to use. Truly wish the sequencer was included in the AU. I would use it 10 times more.

west coast love. beautiful sounds and a great manual for the modular challenged (me). the krell patch example and explanation alone is worth the price.

Fabulous if you like to tinker. If you're just a preset surfer, you might be happier with a different synth app. But if you want to open your horizons to a whole new experience in modular synthesis, and aren't adverse to learning, or at least experimenting, just get this! Bram Bos is a total favorite developer. Everything he does is golden. :) [update 7/18/2017] Bram Bos does it again. He just released a patch to work around a bug in another developer's host app until they provide their own fix! That's beyond the call of duty!

One of the best. 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. 💁🏻‍♂️

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!

Unique among iOS synths, and great fun to play. Almost every iOS synth falls into the “East Coast” subtractive synth architecture pioneered by Moog. Ripplemaker stands alone as a “West Coast” synth more in line with a Buchla or Make Noise O Coast. As a consequence, the oscillator and filter are different in character and produce a unique sound. The app sounds great, has ‘normals’ — default signal routing if you choose not to patch it — and provides an enormous amount of fun. On top of that, the developer is an active member of the iOS music community, an enthusiastic user of his own and his competitors apps, always looking to improve, and very responsive to suggestions and feedback. Highly recommended!

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?

A new voice. Elegant, fluid, musical. I have been on the edge of my seat waiting for this app, and I am not disappointed. It embodies the kind of gracious organic potential in West Coast machines, while retaining the capacity for all the raucous aggressive sounds that defy imagination. It comes closer to the playable instrument for me in the same way the Animoog does, and does so by resembling the machines that inspired it much more. Can't say enough good things. All the connectivity you could dream of, enough to spur you into new territory. Applause!

Special App is Special. This app is one of those rare Swiss Army instruments that I use for leads arp bass percussion drums soundscape. I actually begin 75% of my projects with a pulse of 2 notes in RMaker. This is one of those house music tools you can incorporate even into a DJ set as a neat way to spruce up well known and over played tracks. Finally the developer is balls out serious into his business and a smart dude. This is a MUST buy for anyone who does any kind electronic music. Peace

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.

Brilliant / Top Notch Developer and Apps. 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!!

Just get it. Beautiful new app from Bram Bos. All of this devs apps are awesome and well supported. He is very active on the Audiobus forum. Get all of his apps. You will not be disappointed.

Super trippy. Please release more presets for us to explore!

Superb but needs a few improvements.... [Edit] Recent update added banana jack-style stacking outputs! Thanks for such a quick addition! [Edit] It's a good west-coast inspired semi-modular. Similar to the MakeNoise 0-Coast I think. Please implement a single row of jacks underneath the current knob/jack UI for some simple attenuverters/mixers. It feels a bit too limited patching wise. Also in that space consider adding some type of clock divide and multiply feature for gates/clocks. Or even if there were a way to attenuate and invert each patch cable on the way to its destination somehow. A way to sync/divide/multiply the Sample & Hold rate with a clock/square wave input. An input to the Sample and Hold. Noise normaling is great by default, but an override input to replace it with another module output would be ideal. Also have noise as a separate output. Please add a gate input jack for the cycle button on the slope generator to turn it on/off. I love this feature of Maths in eurorack and it would do well here. Another great addition would be cv over the delay parameters. Possibly add a second audio rate oscillator to complement the existing one would be nice to free up the slope generator for other duties when doing standard cross modulation west-coast FM Patches. I use a hardware eurorack format modular, so the patching versatility is really important to me. The more CV control, the better. Still a fun app to use as is. And you can certainly make some cool tunes easily with this app! Thanks for the synth. Make it just a bit better if you can please. :)

Again, currently best apps on market. Just wanted to say thanks, and that on a 3rd gen IPad Pro, you are one of, or possibly the only developer that is good enough that all of your apps are FULLY functional, I’ve wasted like 200 bucks on apps that half/don’t work at all on new devices/ios12. You give me hope that I didn’t waste 1400 bucks on an IPad that I mainly got for mobile audio production. Moog pooped the bed, sugarbytes pooped the bed, and so did most others, there are few apps that are fully functional and don’t have audiobus zombie background use and 70% cpu usage. I seriously have to hard reset brand new IPad after attempting to use 30 dollar apps. Thanks again keep it up, cuz you totally win at this point in the app game. You made higher paid devs look completely incompetent.

Phenomenal synths by this developer. Super responsive. Awesome programming and sounds.

Active and Responsive Developer, Great Sounds, AUv3 what more could you want!. I own every product from this developer. I am in support of developers embracing the AUv3 standard, especially when it sounds this good. Lots of consistency and simple, but powerful control options. Lots of constant updates with new features. Highly recommended.

how deep does the rabbit hole go?. This is not for the faint of heart or lazy person that just wants quick presets. It's for sound exploration. In order to get the most enjoyment out of this little guy, you need to be an experienced synthesist or aspire to be one. At least you don't have to blow $500+ to find out if that's you.

Great instrument. Fun synth. Excellent developer response.

A must have!. Great little synth with all the right feel. Very creative and intuitive to get new sounds. Easy connections to Ableton via Link, inter app connection via AUv3 and AUdiobus 3.

Sounds great. All of the Bram Bos apps are worthy purchases. This one sounds surprisingly good and is a very familiar interface for 0 coast owners. I find myself making a generative patch and then just listening to it for way too long.

Surprising. 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.

Instant Classic. Sounds and looks great, innovative sequencer and responsive developer.

Worth it just for a kick. Buchla on the go without even touching the price of a Buchla. Honestly bought it to stop being envious of the tip-top Buchla modules and now I’m buying an audio interface just to run this app into a mixer

Sweet and simple modular synth. I've always stayed away from modular synths cause I don't understand them - but thanks to this great app I am able to wet my feet so to speak. Sounds very nice - and a great sequencer with handy randomize features!
