About this app

Inspired by the Korg Kaossilator and Moog synthesizers, Saucillator transforms mobile devices into a platform for creating and playing digital synthesizers. Users use the touchscreen to manipulate oscillators and effects, and can also do live-looping and recording. Our goal is to be beginner friendly while at the same time offering all the deep, complex features traditional synth users love.

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, 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), Vibrato LFO (rate & depth), Tremolo, Delay, Distortion, Parametric EQ, and Note Lag (Portamento).

Custom synthesizers can be exported and shared with friends.

Other abilities:
-Choose scale: Pentatonic, Major, Minor, Blues, or Chromatic (among others).
-Choose the base note for the pad.
-Control the grid size.
-Record to the SD card.
-Live visualization of waveforms.

Saucillator. I think it's the sauce, boss!

Ratings and reviews

Extraordinary new interface! Especially enjoy how easy it is to add new harmonics and to adjust the grid size so quickly. Incredibly fun and unlike any other android synth. My only request for the future would be the ability to create a custom scale, like a note row 'C C# D D# E...' and each can adjust ±100cent.

Absolutely incredible, fun, and amazing audio sketch pad. The built-in looper is a brilliant addition. I have spent serval mornings coming up with ideas while having coffee. This synth can tap into early electronic music, think Forbidden Planet. Admittedly, I'm new to the synth app world on Android, however I have yet to find another app that can loop and generate ideas so quickly and easily. I really like creating from a few simple items. This Synth really fits that aesthetic!

I love how this app works but the bitrate of my recordings are horrible and I have no way to change it without it sounding horrible... is there a way to change the amount of bits, 8, 16, 32, as well as frequency, 22k, 44k, 48k, stuff like that... I did an improvised set and it was great but I can't recreate it

What’s new

All new sauce! Everything has been rewritten to be a modern app, laying the groundwork for some fun new stuff to come. All new app, same great sauce. We'd love to hear your feedback!
