[@DigestiveTracks]

So cool! Nice work Jakob.

[@JakobHaq]

Thank you! 👊

[@analogmatthew]

Whooohoo, cool idea! And excited to see AudioKit reverb in there!

[@JakobHaq]

That reverb has serious sound in it. Can’t believe you guys are giving it away for free bro. 👊

[@NoFishCanSwim]

What a truly groovy idea!

[@guyboatman6133]

Woooo hoooo! Finally more polyphony for the moog! Never knew polythemus existed. I can finally use model d the way I want. Thanks for your unwavering creativity and willingness to share with the community! Your channel is a gem!

[@JakobHaq]

Have fun! 👊

[@mneliason]

Amazing as usual!

Thank you! 👊

[@SiEffen]

This was really interesting, thanks Jakob!

[@JakobHaq]

Thanks for watching!

[@bygjohnuk]

That is one really clever way to use AUM. I’m seriously impressed.

[@JakobHaq]

That’s what I love about AUM. It’s so easy to experiment with stuff in it. Many times I’ll end up doing that and I won’t actually make music, I’ll just be testing things out. It’s almost like a modular synth with AUv3 plugins being the modules.

[@synth-talk]

Jakob, This is great! I've been playing around with creating a drum machine in AUM using auGENx as the audio source, The oscillator sounds great and each instance is light on CPU demand. polythemus is new to me, will experiment with that too. Thanks for sharing this.

[@JakobHaq]

My pleasure and have fun! 👊

[@lordbachus]

This type of workflow was the reason i went back to reason on Mac recently…. The possibilities are infinite

[@JakobHaq]

I get it, Reason is like a big Modular and only imagination can hold you back. 👊

[@pr4yTheProducer]

looove reason

[@Thedrumsthebass]

Jakob is in beastmode, It's like the good ol' days!

[@JakobHaq]

👊😘

[@MobileMusicPro]

This is so inspiring Jakob! Hopefully you make a series of videos showing people the basics of making something like this :)

[@JakobHaq]

Thanks V! If people like this stuff I’ll make more of it. 👊

[@MobileMusicPro]

@@JakobHaq Sure hope they do, again fantastic video!

[@dcollett]

Jakob, this is brilliant. I’d love to do this, but it’s still a bit above my skill level. I may attempt a smaller version of this. And, I’ll definitely use *pinkly* Sends 😺

[@JakobHaq]

Pinky sends rulez! Oh and just keep building in AUM and in time the setup in this video will feel like it’s below your skill level. 😘

[@SpoodBeest.]

Jakob i hope you read this i know im late, but if you hold the knob first and then open the menu and press midi learn without lifting your knob finger you can tweak it at that point and it will learn the cc. Same as koala when you switch between the pages

[@dale4278]

That’s really cool! There’s the app mLFO with 16 midi LFOs that could probably slide in there somewhere for some modulation. I’m not sure how much more it would eat up your CPUs, though. Really cool idea!

[@Steve.Dennis]

I actually had no idea KB-1 had knob controls! Will be utilising that feature in the near future!

[@JakobHaq]

KB-1 is one of the most powerful midi ready to use controllers on the AppStore and it hides a lot of interesting stuff. I love how one can make different setups, mixing keyboards, x/y controllers and knobs. The only thing missing are faders but knobs have worked so far.

[@spellerlittlewing]

I like build one just with pads sounds

[@Landeville]

Wow I had no idea AUM could be used like this 🤯. And it sounds fantastic. Kind of quirky

[@JakobHaq]

That what I like with AUM. It’s can be used for so many things thanks to its modular design.

[@perrypelican9476]

Very very cool idea. You are a genius in disguise And the most important thing is. ITS FUN That's funny what you said about not liking you. How can anyone not like you? Really funny.

[@plucollective604]

Looks like a very fun project. Maybe some of your viewers will make their own versions of an AUM poly synth?

[@JakobHaq]

I’m hoping to inspire some to create their own synth. Gonna be interesting to see what might come from this.

[@francescomanfredi]

Great tutorial Jakob! Could you do a similar one on Drambo please?

[@mikabreto]

Interesting experiment. What if you replicated it within ApeMatrix? That environment has its own LFOs…not to mention the added fun of the matrix. Feedback loops are super easy to achieve once you wave off the warnings, LOL!

[@rkpfilms]

I’m surprised you a) haven’t tried this before and b) haven’t tried to do this with Drambo, seeing how this sort of thing is right up Drambo’s alley… then again, maybe you already did? Definitely a project that falls into my someday-maybe bucket, but it’s interesting to see your approach. Cheers.. 👍🏻

[@JakobHaq]

I have, but it taken a long time for me to find apps that I like putting together for stuff like this. Plus I don’t do videos featuring all of my messy shenanigans, I’m always worried people won’t watch some of the stuff I do. 😅 I’ll keep working on this one though and I will present a version 2 at some point in the future so stay tuned. 👊

[@klstay]

While an interesting experiment the complexities involved rival a "best of 2019 synth" but the capabilities do not. Everything with KB-1 and the graphical design would even stay the same simply with different mapping behind the scenes. Given that is the user interface, the back end really can be whatever you want. I look forward to seeing 2.0 of this, but also think many would then like to see the same journey with miRack and a pros/cons comparison afterward.

[@KHos73]

How did you even start, is there some sample to check out, so cool though!

[@JakobHaq]

The idea of building a synth in AUM pretty much came to me as son as AUM was released, seeing how modular it is (kinda had the idea earlier with Audiobus too). So technically this project started many years ago but I’ve been waiting for the right type of apps to come before I could build something I wanted to show. Back then a lot of the apps I used were IAA so you had to jump between apps which was a real pain in the ssa (read last word backwards). AUv3 plugins really makes it all easier and less contrived even though it’s still somewhat contrived. It wasn’t to hard for me to start since I know synthesis really well and I have been working in with modular synths a lot in the past. Regarding sample files, I do not have anything available at this time. But I’m planning on adding a page to my official website with AUM session files as downloads sometime in the future. I’ve actually been hoping that there would be free alternatives to all of the apps that I’m using so that I could build something that anyone could try out. But so far I haven’t been able to fill the list. But I’m working on it so stay tuned.

[@KHos73]

@@JakobHaq Many thanks for the info, I would love to create an auv3 app from scratch, I have no idea where to start, audiokit?

[@neverlandgamestore]

Jakob, maybe you can put your MIDI interface in another AU3 host, like ApeMatrix, then put the windows side by side. I obviously haven’t tried that yet, but I’m going to when I get home!

[@JakobHaq]

I thought of doing something similar. I’ll test some stuff out. It would be interesting if AUM got split screen support. Would open up for more side-by-side setups. So far I’ve had to do stuff where I have some apps in a slide-over view. It works but it’s far from perfect.

[@Somnambulist3130]

Is there some feature of AUM I have missed where you build an interface like this? Or are you coding this up in Swift and XCode like proper app development?

[@JakobHaq]

The graphical look was done in post. It’s explained at 11:22

[@Somnambulist3130]

@@JakobHaq I understand how you made the graphical overlay itself. I'm not explaining myself very well. Is there a feature in AUM I'm missing which loads all these AUv3s in place when you load the patch? I mean, when you load it do all these pieces load into the right places so that your AUM Poly 'app' appears the way we see it here? Or do you have to reassemble and place the UI elements each time?

[@eriktrips]

Huh. I was going to tweak my custom dark theme for Ardour while waiting for nightfall, but now it looks like I have something else to keep me busy. If I figure out the envelope problem, I’ll be back! (You can totally say “pinkly”. English is a modular language.)

[@JakobHaq]

Pinkly! I like it. Hope you solve the envelope problem.

[@Lorichs]

Interesting using AUM as a platform for modular synthsis 😊. However I think that i’ll stick to Drambo though. But cool concept 👍🏼😊

[@JakobHaq]

Drambo is sick! Absolutely love it. But sometimes it’s fun to do stuff with apps that weren’t made for this type of stuff. Thanks for the feedback and thank you for watching!

[@justburnin]

@@JakobHaq I think in your next version you should make the same synth on Eurorack or Drambo and compare

[@audiblevideo]

Attack softener AU (blue mangoo) can help with AUgenX click

[@JakobHaq]

Grabbed it!! Thanks for the tip!

[@audiblevideo]

I was building my own synth the same way as you were, and had the same problem 🙂

[@MoCalaz]

Nice one, Jakob 🎵🔥🙏🏻🔥🎶 did you try „mLFO“ from Achileas Sourlas ..? ( well - I don’t know if it is usable for your approach 😅)

[@JakobHaq]

OMG, I love mLFO. Who doesent want 16 individual lfos to play around with. But I needed a way of attenuating the envelope signal output and I failed. It’s the only reason really to why I haven’t added an lfo. 😅

[@MoCalaz]

@@JakobHaq I don’t know much about Mosaic from Bram Bos 🧐 but this was the first app that came to my mind .. 🙃

[@JakobHaq]

Ah yes, I should probably have a closer look at it. Thanks for the tip!

Hey, beside i see fm4 on your homescreen. What happend with it? In germany i cant reload it anymore. Greets

[@JakobHaq]

I think it has been removed from the AppStore. I can’t even find Primal Audio there anymore either.

You might want to consider hiring a coder to do exactly what you want and make a synth of your very own now?

[@LikeCarpenter]

Nothing you are doing in this video makes any sense

[@JakobHaq]

In what way? Can you elaborate?

[@LikeCarpenter]

@@JakobHaq what is auv3, what are the items it is joining, how are you setting up midi etc, the whole video takes for granted that you are nearly a programmer

[@JakobHaq]

Sorry. Most of my viewers are Mobile Music producers using iOS as their main platform. AUv3 is a plugin format, basically like Mac Audio Units or AU for short. AUv3 can also be compared to something like VST. So AUv3’s can basically be anything like synthesizers, drummashines, sequencers, effect plugins and processors like compressor dresser etc. AUM is an Audio mixer host with an ability to record audio. It has support for AUv3 plugins and it also has the ability to route midi. It’s not a like a conventional DAW because AUM lacks an arranger track view and it doesn’t have editing tools. It’s like a multi track recorder and it is one of the most popular apps on iOS. AUM has a very modular workflow and it is perfect for experimenting with plugins, effect chains and many things. It’s also a good companion for live performances. I have a video in we’re I talk about the concept of AUM vs DAW kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJ6khKyQh6aCpaM Thing is that I love doing things with tools that they weren’t designed for doing. AUM is a modular mixer basically and was not made for doing “Modular synthesis” stuff. But that’s what I’ve essentially done here. I’ve built a modular synth inside a mixer with plugins. There’s an introduction on MIDI in AUM on another channel (not mine) kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoWrk2yho9V4mrs There’s loads of content on KZbin that teaches AUM from the ground up. My tutorials are usually for users that are a bit more advanced in their usage of AUM. Btw, at around 10 minutes in, there’s a screen with a connection matrix. It’s like a modular matrix panel but for MIDI. Here’s my playlist with all my videos: kzbin.info/aero/PLvNQD1EpaiNObDUoHfT4RRT2_OP-HMRWe
