Audulus LLC developer Taylor Holliday let us know that Audulus 4.3 is now available for iPadOS and macOS, delivering performance gains up to 400%, 36 new or updated modules, and more.
What’s new in Audulus 4.3:
Enhanced Performance through Multi-Core Audio Processing – The highlight of Audulus 4.3 is the implementation of multi-core audio processing, resulting in a 2x to 4x performance boost for most patches. “It took new OS features, and a bit of computer science to make this happen,” notes Holliday. “These days, CPU performance is mostly improving through more cores instead of faster individual cores, so as new chips come along, you can do more and more with Audulus.”
Updated and Expanded Module Library – Audulus 4.3 includes an updated module library, with 20 updated modules and 16 new modules. New modules include Super Saw oscillator, SVF Multimode Filters, Multi-channel Waveform Meter, and Spectrum Analyzer, among others. “Audulus 4 blew the door open with scripting for DSP and vector graphics. We’re just getting started,” said Jerry Smith, Audulus Sound Designer. “The module library is a super fun playground for modular synthesis and sound design.”
A More Inclusive Free Version, and a powerful “Audulus Pro” – With this release, Audulus opens up more features in its free version, providing users with access to the expanded module library and the ability to construct entire modular synths free of charge. The full feature set, “Audulus Pro,” including the option to build custom modules, is now offered through a subscription model. “Audulus Pro is a user-friendly development environment for synths and effects, with programmable DSP and graphics,” said Holliday. “You can build your dream synth without delving into C++ programming.”
Audulus 4.3 is available now for free on iPadOS and macOS. Audulus Pro is available for $4.99 monthly or $29.99 annually, with a 7-day free trial.
UVI has introduced HX-20, a new virtual instrument, inspired by the classic Korg MS-20 synth from the ’70s.
They’re also bringing back gratuitously sexy 3D renderings of virtual instruments, to the point that you might think, on first view of their intro video, that HX-20 is a hunk of beefy analog goodness. The virtual patch cables have shadows.
HX-20 is the debut release in UVI’s new HX Series, which they say builds on their history in hardware sampling and physical modeling. HX-20 is based on deep sampling of the original hardware, paired with two new layers of hardware-based wavetables, and physically-modeled filters to create “a powerful and compelling sonic tool with incredible character”.
HX-20 features 2 hardware-based wavetable oscillators and a sample-based oscillator, feeding a pair of analog-modeled filters, all with ADSR envelopes and numerous modulation points. Other features include a powerful arpeggiator/phraser, macros and studio effects.
HX-20 Overview:
HX-20 Audio Demos:
HX-20 is available with an intro price $49.00 till December 11, 2023 (normally $79.00).
Make Noise has released a free firmware update for the Spectraphon Eurorack module, SpectraNoise.
SpectraNoise adds the following features:
Two new Oscillator modes: Noise, and Chaos
In Noise mode, the Even and Odd outputs contain a pair of sine waves (use the Input attenuator to detune them up to an octave from each other). The Partials control sets the width of noise sidebands around the sine frequency. The Slide and Focus controls set the frequencies of a low-pass and high-pass filter, respectively, for this modulating noise, further shaping the sidebands.
In Chaos mode, the two sine oscillators are each paired with a second sine whose harmonic ratio to the core is set by the Focus control. (As with SAO and Noise you can use the Input attenuator to detune the two sines by up to an octave.) Partials adds audio rate modulation of one sine by the other, and Slide adds multiple chaotic feedback paths to this modulation.
Low Frequency behavior added to SAO, Noise, and Chaos. To switch a Side into low frequency, hold Shift and press Array (this is the same process used for Array creation in SAM).
All Mode options reset to factory settings when powering on while holding SHIFT A & SHIFT B.
