Description

Drambo is an innovative modular groovebox and audio processing environment. Modular components are used to build synthesized and sample based instruments or audio effects using high-quality DSP and audio-rate modulation. Tied to a powerful sequencer, it’s an optimal music creation tool for sound design, composition, performance and experimentation.

At the heart of Drambo lies an entirely new concept that makes modular creations easy, fun and affordable. Modules are connected automatically, with no cables as you add or rearrange them. A dynamic interface creates modulation knobs when you need them. Modules may house other modules, so you can keep your patch well organized. Of course, automatic connections can be overridden. In Drambo you can focus on playing with sound and signal structure without getting lost in wires.

Use a deep and innovative sequencer to compose patterns and whole tracks, for production or live performance. Go beyond simple looping sequences with parameter locking, conditional step components, parameters automation and powerful scene morphing. Drambo works equally well as a self-contained standalone app or audio unit plugin with audio and MIDI connectivity as an AUV3 instrument, audio effect and MIDI effect. No modular experience necessary to get started playing with preset sounds and effects.

You can use Drambo as

• A complete music production and performance environment

• Endless modular playground, that allows you to build, modify and store custom instruments and effects. For instance: build a custom synth, sample and resample, build a Theremin using a gyroscope module, or turn your table into a playable surface, by processing microphone input with physical modelling modules. Get weird or make functional instruments and tools.

• MIDI sequencer, that works with hardware and AUv3 instruments (e.g. Drambo sequences other instruments in an AU host app). Moreover Drambo can generate custom MIDI CC messages or modulation signals to control modular synths via DC coupled interfaces.

• AUv3 synthesizer, effect or sequencer in other DAWs. Drambo can replace a lot of audio plugins. For instance: you may use it as a chorus, phaser, reverb, filter, equalizer, complex modular delay, decimator, frequency shifter, MIDI effect or complex modulator for other synths. You may combine, modulate and sequence them in no time.

Features:

• Polyphonic, stereo processing and audio-rate modulation. All signals are equal. Up to 16 voices per modular instrument rack.

• Unique modular concept: cable-less, drag'n'drop, color coding dynamic interface, automatic connections, and customizable compact, rack views.

• Directional flow makes Drambo routing and patching straightforward. Signal flows only left to right, so there are no instant feedback routings in Drambo. Delayed feedback is possible using certain modules.

• Simple and clean interface, that scales to every size and device orientation

• Custom modular racks that can be nested, with presets at the track, rack, and module level.

• Clip launcher / song arrager.

• 16-tracks, polyphonic sequencer with parameter locks, automation and step components. 8 dedicated step sequence editor types, piano-roll, powerful automation designer with drawing modes and cubic Bezier curves.

• Audio Units hosting ( standalone app only )

• Over 130 modules available, such as: oscillators, samplers, physical modelling modules, LFOs, envelope generators, filters, audio effects, mixers, MIDI processors, sequencers and math functions.

• Morph groups: you can morph many parameters using a single slider.

• Available as a standalone app, AUv3 instrument, effect and MIDI effect.

• MIDI, MPE and Ableton Link support

With Drambo, you are in charge. Create the music from your vision to reality.

A musical tool box

I have to say that I have been working with apps since Samplr first came out and Audiobus was just starting out. The Drambo app musical playground has been groundbreaking for me personally.

I have had a hard time understanding modular. Sound for More and Ben Richards tutorials have been absolutely essential but I can now begin to feel comfortable with modular and it’s concepts due completely to Drambo.

I really have incredible fun just jamming with it. It is natural and now with Auv3 it is absolutely endless in variation.

Bravo what an app, what a environment what a musical world to explore.

Thank You.

Incredible.

Don’t hesitate. Just buy. Not only is this one of the most innovative apps of all time. It’s also an amazing sequencer inside AUM/ApeMatrix. The waves extension is worth the price of admission too. Go. Now. You’re worth it.

Incredible beastie

Was hard to find much info on this machine, very few ratings, and not much in the way of solid reviews online. I came across it after someone mentioned it in a Facebook group discussion. Most of the YouTube vids at the moment hide the true capability of this app by using it alongside other apps in AUM, or are more specific tutorials, with very little in the way of general demonstrative reviews. Make no mistake, this is a serious tool. Think of it like an Elektron or OPz but with a better UI. The plain interface makes it easy to see what’s going on, but belies an incredibly deep beast within. Super glad I took a chance on this. similar functionality in the ‘hardware’ (still dsp based) world would set you back at least AU$1000, so the price tag on this thing is a steal. Works fine on my iPhone, but would suggest a recent model to maximise the potential of this app. The elektron style scene morph is awesome, and there seems to be a million different ways to move your groove along. Would have to say it’s one of the best music apps I’ve found this year. Highly recommended.
