About 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.

This app is awesome, and I am recommending it to all my music lover friends! I'm amazed with the many things I can do with it. For it to be perfect, it could have an option to be able to control pitch in the X axis, so I could have more precision while playing with more keys and with both hands. Or, going further, it would be awesome to choose what each axis stands for (pitch, volume, vibrato, delay, attack, etc). Other than that, amazing app! Many thanks to the developer!

Bush did 9/11 the buildings collapsed at freefall speed, this is physically impossible inless something is pushing matter out of the way. The power was shut down for 36 hours the weekend before, perfect time to plant thermight that can melt steel beams and push matter fast enough for the building to fall at freefall speed. This act secured funding for the war in Iraq.

Is this more than a toy? I am having the best fun. I'd so like to record with it but like other users I am finding note on and note transition clicks are making the finish of the sound too primitive for the purpose.

N70%
by N####:

I've joined in at so many Jams with this, and played background for dance events. I get clicks as track loops are saved now, not sure why as it didn't used to happen. Still amazing app despite that niggle.

N70%
by N####:

Awesome except I'm getting static and clicking noises from something which is pretty annoying and makes the end result unusable. Also I would love to be able to type a number for delay instead of a slider for more control. More importantly I wish there was a reset button for things like the EQ or something like double tap to reset.

X70%
by X####:

Gives anybody with a phone access to a basic, raw synth with looping. There's a little lag that could just be my device. Needs usb midi support and itd be perfect.

F70%
by F####:

Other than that it's quite decent. Plz work on it

N70%
by N####:

Really good for things like sampling for caustic. Fl studio and audio evaluation could probably put this app to great use. I suggest sunvox or caustic because sampling is simple. Great app 5/5

P70%
by P####:

Great software, easy to use, basic needs fully covered, also some intermediate. Quite clean design, not really beautiful but pretty clever and engaging. Its definitely a cool tool for having on a phone and draft and play around easily.

N70%
by N####:

A menu glitch and the inability to remove timber is nothing when it comes to the sounds this synth makes

I was looking for a DAW for android to use with USB guitar vst plugins etc. This popped up and caught my eye. I've been just playing with it for 10 Min and had to write a quick review. This app will keep any musician or musically interested person amused for hours.

N70%
by N####:

Really love the app, it is great in the way that it should work... However, when I play and or record I often hear clicks and static noise things that shouldn't be there. So I cannot use the end result. I really wish that would get fixed , this app is worth paying for if that thing would just be solved. Once again, the design and the way it works is outstanding. Using Nexus 7 Android.

N70%
by N####:

Sounds saucey as soon as you load it up. Could easilly fit into a nice ambient mix. Only gripe really is that some of the dials and buttons are placed over the writing in some places making them a little hard to read.

T70%
by T####:

The minor scale is wrong...

N70%
by N####:

This is a great little synth and I can't wait to use it for some recordings! Only problem was a few little sound buzzes but I'm sure those will be fixed up soon

H70%
by H####:

Awesome! I love pulling up this app when I'm bored or waiting around or just want some inspiration. Also, the developer(s?) has/have a great sense of humor. Stay saucy, everyone.

N70%
by N####:

Nothing really to complain about because it's free and really fun to play around with, but a reverb effect is much needed. Also the LFO depth is way too sensitive, but again this app is not really meant for anything more than messing around with.

N70%
by N####:

The delay between touching the screen and the sound playing is a lil annoying, but I've adjusted to it. I wish there were bars displayed representing each loop as they played... And maybe a way to sync the beginning and ending of loops, clipping them as necessary.

Not only can you make a lot of interesting sounds but the built in loop and record are fantastic I get a bit of audio clipping and stuttering on my Nexus 7 but it's not intolerable

N70%
by N####:

Wow! Someone finally designed an android synth with lots of options that's easy to use. I was recording and looping in 5 minutes. Most importantly, they avoided the error which makes all the other programs unusable. They ditched the idea of a keyboard. You can control pitch without one just fine. Bravo.

N70%
by N####:

But I get a popping sound when I open the app and when I hit a note. I've made some really cool sounds with this app but the popping kinda ruins it.

N70%
by N####:

App was great but it would be amazing if it is having opensles support to reduce latency for real-time playback (only app which is perfected in low latency in Google play store is caustic 3 ,we can toggle between opensl es and audio track , it is like zero latency with opensl es selected.

I've been wanting to use touchscreen controllers for a long time and this is perfect practice for them! It's limited though, synth and effect wise. I use it for noise and ambient music so it works great for me.

N70%
by N####:

This has potential, but the harmonic rich waveforms seem to alias *a lot*, rendering them fairly useless.

Q70%
by Q####:

Still noticed a popping sound when I launched the app and distortion on the lower octave

Z70%
by Z####:

when it started the sound was perfect. but i messed around with it and it made it worse. plz add in a reset to default button.

Can't stop making melodies with the starslide :D

The square one app I wish I had more so blew speakers and tasted what I imagine deaf hearing as, I guess this otherwise just unstated may just hurt hearing

X70%
by X####:

It seems to stay in the background and consume cpu and battery if not killed tho. Also could use more material

X70%
by X####:

I really love this synthesizer. Great job with the simplicity. The main problem I've had with it is in recording. It crashes just about every time I try to record. But it doesn't crash right away it waits till im almost done cooking up a super saucy song and then it exits with no warning and says nothing. there is no crash report. I have tried the app on my fire phone and on the Kindle fire and it does the same thing on both devices. Thanks for the awesome sauce.

Get the sauce cooking... Its great for Hawkwind space noise. Surprisingly versatile.

X70%
by X####:

This is super rad, the work flow and simplicity is so welcoming even to people who may not be too familiar with synth jargon. Terrific work

X70%
by X####:

While this is a cool tool it could also be a very helpful grounding app for people with anxiety.

X70%
by X####:

Totally agree with all the great reviews! This is very cool and relaxing! Sounds great and works flawlessly.

X70%
by X####:

Different instruments (synths) and a nice simple highly intuitive playing interface, looping, file saving, it's all there. Low level stuff for those who know how to use it, but it's not in the way if you just want to have fun.

X70%
by X####:

I lowered these parameters and i just couldnt get them up again so i reinstalled it. That being said this app is simply awesome.

G70%
by G####:

I experienced quite a lot of crackling--basically digital distortion--when the delay was turned up. The EQ didn't seem to have any effect at all. Otherwise, I could almost replicate the synth solos from "In the Light," which was pretty cool. Recommendations: EQ for the delay to reduce distortion; more scales; some kind of optional graphic note or key display so folks can see where they are; and of course a few more presets.

R70%

would like it to work on my tiny lg older model but from what i see its worth downloading
