Dear Jacob, as a developer of analog synthesizers in the eighties, I must say that this is a beautiful way for people to meet the possibilities of this strange instruments. I must congratulate you and hope this becomes standard for teaching electronic music.

[@JakobHaq]

Wow, that’s high praise, thank you so much! 🤍

[@HotStrange]

Amazing collaboration and I’m really loving the plugin so far. It’s a potential classic in my eyes! My only request is midi support in standalone mode. I use my iPad in tandem with hardware samplers and synths often so I use standalone apps with midi controllers quite a bit. Would be a super useful feature for me, and I’m sure others.

[@MeeBilt]

This is the coolest thing I have seen in a long time! Congrats to the launch! 🥳 The Pulsequencer seems like a really useful thing to have in my Eurorack case - I love the concept!

[@JakobHaq]

Hey, one of my most fav Indie Eurorack module makers. Happy to see you here bro! I’m very happy with your Output module, a real workhorse. 🤍🤍🤍

Been a huge fan of Bram Bos Ripplemaker for years .. This new semi-modular was an instant buy. Seems even more useful for music, but every bit as powerful for experimentation.

[@TreyKane]

[@iwatoHyena]

Instant Purchase. LOVELY work!!! Would of loved a randomize button like HILDA. Great way for instant inspiration

[@itsbruxyall]

Tap the logo in the patch bay. Bram says that it's useless 97% of the time, but it does randomize the patch.

[@iwatoHyena]

@itsbruxyall hahaha i was actually thinking that this is really specific, so a randomizer would just garble everything into oblivion! Thanks for the tip, though I haven't had much time to meddle with it

[@ZlPPENHAFT]

instant bought, gg Jakob and Bram! Now i just need to read manual because i'm still new to music production and the wires part is the most interesting thing for me and i need to figure out how it works, i hope my youtubers will do tutorial about this. and i also hope i will understand a little bit more the patchbay from Korg Memphis aka MS-20

[@arthurvanderbilt]

Bram Bos is great at making synths that are fun to play with in standalone mode. Hilda is my ♥️. Looking forward to messing around with this beast!

Can it work standalone on ios?

[@BrianKupferschmid]

I’ve been a big fan of Bram’s work, back to the early days of programs like Moonfish and Hammerhead. I need more modular like I need a hole in my head, but you can be sure I’ll be getting this. Congratulations on this endeavor to both you and Bram.

[@JakobHaq]

😅😂 I hope you have fun with it! And if that hole starts to leak, just holla and I’ll bring some wipes. 😘😘😘

[@BrianKupferschmid]

@ I’m super excited about that dirty delay. I’ll see how and where I can fit it into my ambient live rig. This app may save me from bringing my Eurorack to the stage.

[@Eurikon]

Congrats to both of you, and what a fresh breath of an app release! Just what was needed, This one is gonna be a load of fun for a very long time. Sidenote thanks for making it available on Mac as well. Sidenote 2 can an external audio source be used into the wave surgeon as well?

[@brambos9370]

Yes, you can route it anywhere you like. It has its own patch point, so patch away!

[@craftycurate]

Love it! This might be the app that finally gets me into modular!

[@FrederickGautier]

Jakob _ I commented on your last video how your Hilda video was why, to me, that your video about your journey into hardware modualr made total sense. I got into iOS/ software Modular directly because of that video review of Hilda and how you really showed the possibilities of it in a way that really clicked with me. Which led me to Brams creative approach truly one of a kind apps, which led me to the ABF forums, then to Drambo, then MiRack, and led me to explore the many great apps to create some music/noise with. All this to say that this led me to have respark my long dormant creativity and it’s been a really special journey that I wouldn’t have thought I’d ever get into as deep as I have been but it’s been, creatively, the most rewarding feeling of the past couple years. In a way this software feels very full circle. SO well done! Congrats to both you and Bram! Thank you for putting this out for people to create with. From one extreme nerd to another - Happy to support you two extreme nerds. Cheers. End ADHD over share 😂🎉

[@JakobHaq]

Thank yum so much! Your story touches me deeply and I’m very happy you find what I so helpful and inspiring in some ways. Thank you for your support, it really means a lot to both me and Bram! PS. Don’t ever worry about ADHD info-dumping. That’s literally what my videos are. 🐄🐐

My Guess = Winner of 2024 in Music App for iOS. Well done, Imagine a shared community on presets is my next thought....

[@muphlus]

Much to like here, and i obviously needed a moo-dular, as it's up and running while watching the video 😊 Seems both pretty intuitive and sufficiently complex. Looking forward to play and noodle with the moodules! Would be cool if we could set our own preferences for cable colouring at some point, but your solution is elegant 🙂 Thank you both for making a new inspiring music app in 2024 that actually works on my 1st gen iPad pro (2015?) running older OS (i refuse to break it with an update now). Much appreciated!

[@JakobHaq]

I actually tested maxing out my iPad Pro 2015 in AUM. I got to 15 instances of Solderbox playing a generative mono patch, before it glitched out and DSP maxed out. The old iPad still rocks hard!

[@brambos9370]

You can actually change cable colors by doubletapping their jack poinys. Pro-tip! 😊

[@muphlus]

@@JakobHaq Fantastic! Yep, it's been really good for audio apps with Aum etc as long as their not too heavy on computing. And I'm so happy i found your channel when i started my iPad music making journey a few years ago, cause in the beginning i had no idea where to begin, what was good enough, and how to make it all work together. You always had the best tips and demos! Love that you're doing these collabs!

[@muphlus]

@@brambos9370 Haha, that simple, perfect! Thank you, we love pro-tips 😄👍

[@enzeth]

Really nice app, congratulations! A few suggestions if you like to make it even cooler, the tuning knows for the oscillators have a dent at one, which is great if you want one but really annoying if you want 1.01 or something similar. Also it would be wonderful to get midi out from the unique sequencer, both for controlling other things and for recording / editing the melodies it produces.

[@JakobHaq]

Tap/hold on a control and drag the finger further away from the control to get a finer more sensitive control. Now you should be able to get those finer values. This technique is used in a multitude of music apps on iOS and is very easy to miss.

[@domdib]

Awesome collab. As with Hilda, it didn’t take long to make a sound that makes me smile 🙂 Great work guys!

[@JakobHaq]

Hope you have lots of fun with this one too! 🤍🤍🤍

[@xgmode]

Bought it, congrats on the release, wonder why there is a constant hiss in the sounds it generates. Hear it in every patch I choose, also in the video of Jakob. Will test it some more soon.

[@JakobHaq]

It’s described in the video, the part about the delay. It’s a hizzy, dirty digital delay. You can turn the feedback all the way down and turn the delay off. Watch the video for more info at 43:00

[@xgmode]

@@JakobHaq Ahh, thanks for the reply! I haven't fully seen the video yet.. am at 21:00 🙃

Haven’t been this excited about a synth since Hilda! Hit the buy button after about a minute of the video 😂 Congratulations to you and Bram!

[@JakobHaq]

😂 Thank you so much! 💙💜🧡💛

[@ubustudio]

Brilliant. And as one who loves to use LFOs to create rhythmic scenarios, I especially like the concept to the pulse sequencer. I didn’t see in this demo a way to determine note length/duration between one note to another. Unless I’m missing something it seems to be more of a pulse arpeggiator than a sequencer? I’m not being critical I’m just curious about the capabilities. Rock on man, you are forever making the coolest shit. Cheers.

[@JakobHaq]

Every state (note) of the pulse is held until it switches state (note), so there’s not PWM control for it. Thing of the CV out looking like a sample and hold signal only it’s not random since the user can control each state. The sequencer also creates a trigger with every time a state is switched and that signal looks like a trigger signal.

[@Lorichs]

It didn’t take me many seconds to decide i hit the buy button. Now I have also hit the like button. But i can’t hit the subscribe button. I allready did that back in 2018

[@Calverhall]

OH MY GOD! *begins watching video*

[@Calverhall]

Ok... first off, congratulations this look absolutely incredible. I am over the moon. Well done! But I am weirdly emotional because I was somewhat exasperated a number of years ago when you refused to do a video on Bram Bos's Ripplemaker, still to this day my favourite iOS synth and the gateway drug for me going modular for real. It got me curious about West Coast synthesis and well I haven't looked back since! Back then you said you don't like the modular workflow... Now I am sure you are very busy with lots of videos to make but it would be very awesome if you went back on that refusal and did a little video about that wonderful app Ripplemaker and give Bram Bos some extra promo for a gem of an old app. But I appreciate I'm being a giant baby right now. I am so happy that Bram Bas has made another patch cable modular app and kind of blown away you have changed your feelings as well and are so involved. I suppose the dream now would be some way to cross patch between Solderbox and Ripplemaker. But I don't expect that to happen or be possible. Love your work Jakob, forgive my emotional offloading! Keep doing what you do!

looks like an interesting machine, but sorry i absolutely don’t need another synth!! at least that’s what i try to tell me at least once a month.😂 well i have some fully modulars like mi rack, i got loads of all kind of hardwired soft synths including agonizer… i have drambo, ivcs, tera pro, synthmaster and not to mention korg gadget.. so i really should try using them, before thinking, of buying anything more. but yes solderbox is semi modular with patch cables and that exactly i don’t have yet, at least in ios. so maybe i‘ll get weak after all, but i definitely will sleep over it!

[@stephenbreitling2327]

Really nice 🎉❤ how about cpu using?

[@JakobHaq]

I did some extreme tests to see how much I could load before stuff started glitching. . First up was iPad Pro M1. I ran 35 instances of Solderbox, all of them playing a generative mono patch with the delay turned on. DSP went to 95%-Max. Don’t recommend running any project, regardless of app combo maxed out like that because it will be glitchy. . I tried the same test on my iPad Pro 2015 and it can run 15 before it glitches out. My iPhone 6s from 2015 can run 11 instances before it glitches out. . The amount of maximum instances will differ with each model iDevice since they all have different specs.

[@trabouliste1037]

I like Bram Bos’ and your stuff, but this is another opportunity lost, to translate a hardware synthesizer into a touch device app. Unfortunately there are not many synthesizer apps, which are really for mobile touch screens: Borderlands Granular and Samplr (unfortunately only for the iPad), Jasuto (unfortunately abandoned from his creator), Nanoloop, Koala, Animioog (Z), Virtual ANS, TC-11, Curtis (prehistoric iOS times), Ripplemaker, Tardigrain and some more. But do we really need another recreation of a hardware (semi-)modular? Where is the positive difference to miRack? Can I change more than one parameter on the touchscreen at the same time for example?

[@brambos9370]

Yes, it's obviously fully multitouch so you can change as many parameters on the touchscreen as you have fingers.
