BeepStreet have updated Drambo, available for $24.99 with optional in-app purchases.
What’s new in version 2.57:
- New:
- Added on-screen Pitch Bend and Modulation wheels, including recording, playback, and editing of their automation. The wheels follow automation playback and incoming MIDI, while automation curves update live during wheel and knob recording.
- Added Signal Monitor Recorder for capturing audio and MIDI phrases on the fly. Hold an input to open the Signal Monitor, select Recorder, and press REC. Press it again to stop, then drag recorded audio into a sampler or MIDI notes into a clip. Enable SYNC to start and stop recording on bar boundaries.
- Added Dual Oscillator with eight shapeable waveforms, five cross-modulation modes (PM, exponential FM, AM, Ring, and Shape modulation), hard sync, phase control, and optional 2x oversampling.
- Updated the LFO module with 16 waveforms, from classic shapes to Bounce Random Walk, and Organic Motion. Each waveform includes a contextual Shape control. Poly Spread can distribute voice phases evenly or create drifting rates independently of gate retriggering. Also includes simplified tempo sync, smooth Shape modulation, and a more compact layout.
- Added a new Noise module with nine modes: White (Fast), White / Pink, White Filter, Chip Long, Chip Short, Velvet, Static, Metal 808, and Metal KR55. A compact source for audio and modulation with a mode-specific Color control, optional polyphony, and stereo operation.
- Added Buffer Live module, a tempo-synced live buffer effect for looping, scratching, and rearranging audio. Features variable playback speed and offset, rhythmic snapping, feedback routing, Freeze/Record controls, and click-reducing crossfades
- Supersaw Oscillator: added a new V2 mode that closely models the original JP8K supersaw.
- Added Multi Envelope. Build custom envelopes using freely added segments, each with Level, Time, and Curve controls. Includes editable Hold, Loop, and Release markers, polyphonic modulation, quantized beat timing, and semitone ranges of +/-12, +/-24, or +/-48.
- Added Morph Switch, which stores and recalls parameter states using a polyphonid Index input or MIDI notes. Includes Quantized, Crossfade, Latched Note, and Note Punch modes for note-based parameter locks. Supports smooth transitions, global Amount control, p- lockable state selection, and note-to-state assignment with Copy and Paste,
- MIDI to CV now outputs Mod Wheel position and voice number.
- Improvements:
- Doubled automation recording resolution.
- Slightly increased the brightness of the default skin.
- Fixes:
- Fixed AUv3 MIDI output handling for mixed- length messages and improved performance with large MIDI packets.
- Fixed navigation arrows disappearing with long wavetable filenames in Wavetable Oscillator, Wavetable LFO, and Wavetable Waveshaper.
- Fixed MIDI CC64 sustain pedal events handling:
- Visual Extension IAP:
- Added Visual Processor Switch under Visual > Processor > Utility. Switch between processing chains using buttons, CV, or MIDI, with optional live crossfades. All layers share a single Frame input, while empty layers act as bypass. Only active processing chains run, keeping processing efficient.
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.
