Ripplemaker: a West Coast Flavored Modular Synth
The freedom and versatility of a modular synth in a stylish mobile package.
In typical West Coast fashion the available modules, such as complex oscillator, lowpass gate, FM, mathematical utilities and slope generator, are designed for exploration and experimentation. The virtual patch cables will let you take your sound wherever you want to take it, from morphing basslines to evolving generative drones.
A modular playground
Even if you’re not familiar with modulars, wavefolders or control voltage you can dive right in, because all modules are prewired; offering a powerful monosynth without using a single cable. Then whip out the virtual cables and start patching. Ripplemaker is designed for fun - big enough to lose yourself into, yet intuitive enough to not get lost.
Standalone sequencer goodness
Sometimes you want to get away from your DAW and just play. That’s why Ripplemaker, beside being an AU plugin, also comes with a standalone sequencer app that helps you get creative. It has a random pattern generator with scale locks, a realtime probability-based mutation engine and it syncs with your other apps and hardware via Ableton Link or MIDI Clock.

Connectivity beyond cables: obviously in a modular synth it’s all about cables. But Ripplemaker takes connectivity to the another level:
- AUv3 (Audio Unit Plugin) Extension for use in iOS DAWs
- Universal design (works on iPad 4+, iPhone 5S+, iPod Touch 6G+)
- CoreMIDI, Virtual MIDI, Bluetooth MIDI,
- Audiobus 3, including AB3 MIDI IN+OUT and State Saving
- Ableton Link
- MIDI Clock Sync
- WAV export, MIDI file export, AU preset export
- Ready for iOS11 Files access

I love it.

I love everything this developer creates. All apps by you guys are top shelf.
Modular synth for beginners!

This is the first modular synth, digital or otherwise, that I’ve experimented with yet. The dev is right in calling his app “intuitive”: I was able to get up and running within an hour. Still exploring the possibilities and am sure many months of fun are ahead.
Perfect for Kraftwerkian type percussion!

One of the best IOS synth apps I come across for getting that resonant electro thip type sound popularized by Kraftwerk back in the 70s which also is very similar to the sounds Chipmunks make when they are warning other chipmunks of a potential danger!
Neato!

If there was ever an easy to understand semi modular synth, this is it! Out of the box, sounds can be modified using just the knobs the same way you can with every other synth on the market. Using the cables, you can get some very interesting and unexpected results. Bram has very easy to understand documentation at his website. If you’ve never played with modular synths, Ripplemaker is an incredible starting point and a very powerful instrument in its own right.
Cool synth, not really a playground

Fun and efficient. I opened up this au 30x on my ipad with hardly any cpu load. The only thing i do not like is the filter. I wish it were a nice juicy resonant moog lpf....
Again, currently best apps on market

Just wanted to say thanks, and that on a 3rd gen IPad Pro, you are one of, or possibly the only developer that is good enough that all of your apps are FULLY functional, I’ve wasted like 200 bucks on apps that half/don’t work at all on new devices/ios12. You give me hope that I didn’t waste 1400 bucks on an IPad that I mainly got for mobile audio production. Moog pooped the bed, sugarbytes pooped the bed, and so did most others, there are few apps that are fully functional and don’t have audiobus zombie background use and 70% cpu usage. I seriously have to hard reset brand new IPad after attempting to use 30 dollar apps. Thanks again keep it up, cuz you totally win at this point in the app game. You made higher paid devs look completely incompetent.
Brilliant / Top Notch Developer and Apps

All Bram Bros apps are my go to apps in Cubasis 2. They all work seamlessly as AU. Helping me create music I could only dream of with my synth hardware. Developer is number one in my book! Cheers and thanks!!
app isn’t functional on my iPad Pro

The top half of the synthesizer does not appear when running, making it impossible to create or load any sound. This easel-type synth really appeals to me and sounds nice on my phone, but id obviously like to be able to use it on my full size device and i can’t. Please update the app.
I love this developer
Eddiegregs
I love this app and this developer. Buy all of their apps. I’m not a shill, I’m just a massive fan boy for Bram. This runs so smoothly in my DAW compared to Moog and can make so many sounds. Along with their other apps, it is making my workflow so much easier and leaves way more time for me to create things rather than set things up

I would give this app six stars if I could. I like how the color of each wire is different. I randomized a tune to enter my music app combination song. The only problem is that sometimes you can't hear the music. There is a solution: wire up a tune.
