Modular Synth Plug-In now Hosts more Plug-Ins –
Subatomic Software Updates "Audulus" to v1.5



"Your favorite software instruments can now run inside Audulus,"
explains W. Taylor Holliday, Founder of Subatomic Software,
developer of Audulus, the modular synthesis app for OSX available
on the Mac App Store.

"Just like Audio Unit effects, Audio Unit instruments can now be
processing nodes. This opens up new creative possibilities. Users
can even run software instruments inside the plugin version of Audulus.
Plugins in a plugin."

With Audulus, users can build synthesizers, design new sounds, or
process audio. All with low latency, real-time processing suitable
for live performance.

Audulus 1.5 has a refined UI. "We've improved the look and
responsiveness of the UI," says Holliday. "Animation is smoother,
it's easier to make connections, and nodes such as the Oscillator,
ADSR, and Delay have new customized UI."

Version 1.5 also adds seven new example patches. "We want to
provide enough examples so Audulus is approachable to modular
synthesis newcomers," explains Holliday. "We've added new
examples in every major release."

Audulus 1.5 adds three new processing nodes: reverb, 16-step
sequencer, and sample-and-hold.

In addition, the file format has been changed for compatibility
with the forthcoming iPad and 64-bit versions. Users should
upgrade their patches by loading and re-saving them.

The Audulus user interface was inspired by analog guitar pedals:
sounds are created or altered by connecting processing nodes.
There are no hidden controls, no complex menus, and everything
fits in a single window. The user begins with a blank canvas,
rather than with daunting controls, and can build up to the desired
level of complexity.

Audulus includes a diverse collection of processing nodes, with
new nodes in constant development. Additionally, Audio Unit
plugins can be hosted as processing nodes, greatly expanding
the types of processing nodes at the user's disposal.

Audulus also integrates into a studio workflow through an Audio Unit
plugin version, which is available for download at no extra cost.
