Simply does not explain how it’s supposed to work
Avoid. Mi rack does everything that this does better, number one mi rack works. This doesn’t. Do not even consider Audulus. It’s a waste. Has had months to pick up and improve. Hasn’t happened.
It makes no sense. Envelopes don’t seem to work at all. There is no obvious logic to how to get things started.
Why is this app still around? It’s as unusable as ever.

Response from developer
This review is misinformation. Audulus has a tutorial patch to guide you on the basics. Audulus can do many things that Mi Rack can't: build your own modules, write shaders, write custom 2d graphics code, do low-level DSP, etc. Unfortunately the reviewer never contacted support about the issues they faced.
Essential for Exploration and Experimentation
It’s wayyyyy better than max/msp and costs a tiny fraction of the price. This app is truly a gift.
Quality but complex and intimidating
This is a great app with a lot of manual controls that enable users to produce tha sound they want and are looking for. My only issue is, great work on tha Shepards tone btw, my only issue is that if u already aren’t familiar with sound construction this app can be intimidating and complex and may appear a bit scattered. Not for noobies. But if ur already familiar with sound design, this is fantastic and I do recommend. Thank you for building an incredible workstation.

Still one of the best apps ever made for music production
In the almost decade since firstly hearing about this app. I knew it was ahead of it’s time. Even back in 2015/2016 I was always amazed at how quickly forum questions get answered. You may even luck out and get a reply from one of the actual authors of this amazing software. That is unrivaled support. Show me another app where the creators themselves are actively taking part in discussion posts. I dare you to show me one app. For anybody who is ever complaining about the need for sideloading, simply making a backup of your device will virtually ensure your ability to download a previous version. I have 3 and 4 running on the same apple device no problems. I did run into issues with my license working for 3 but it was because it was purchased on someone else’s Apple ID. I digress with my pedal board not operational, it’s insane to me how treated a guitar will sound using just this one app. Absolutely one of my favorite ways to manufacture: REVERB. I am only ever using 1% of the capacity this app will furnish and the room it puts me in is large enough to stay lost for hours at a time. Thank you very much for making this app.

A Visual Approach to Sound Design
Audulus is a visual tool for creating and manipulating sound. With a large selection of fundamental nodes and an even larger set of library modules, Audulus provides a wide variety of building blocks to create almost any synth or audio effect you can imagine. An active user community provides user contributed patches and modules as well as helpful advice. Version 4 has added many new features such as a graphical canvas and DSP node programmable in Lua, a shader node, MIDI I/O and other enhancements. The app continues to improve with each update. Ten out of ten!

The Best Gets Even Better
Audulus is a complete audio toolkit with a visually based approach to sound creation and modification. Version 4 adds a host of new functionality including MIDI output, new controls and enhanced graphical elements such as the canvas and shader node. Using the included library modules or building from scratch, it's possible to create virtual synths, audio effects, sequencers and a host of other audio creations. A new audio DSP node allows for direct Lua manipulation of the audio buffer. Outstanding!

Thank you so much HammerDulcimer. You pretty much summed up why Audulus 4 is the best version of Audulus yet. Thank you being a part of our community, and we hope to see you at our forum and Discord! :)
Next Generation Modular Audio
Audulus feels to me like the future of modular audio -- essential tools akin to best-in-class apps (max/msp, reaktor, etc.), fluid and powerful gui, seamless workflow across macOS and ipadOS, standalone or AUv3 plugin. Really is pro-level -- code my own DSP, design my own graphics, without all the extra the hassle that comes with the coding in C . And now 4.3 includes multi-core processing -- a huge performance boost. My dream audio app, beautiful and deep.

Amazing
I love this app
Incredible new version
I’ve used Audulus since the very first release, and so didn’t hesitate with this new version. And it really is stunning. There are many excellent synth/audio apps that I’m tempted by, but time and again I’m left thinking that practically everything I see could just as well be implemented within Audulus - and a whole lot more.
There’s no denying that there is a learning curve; but it’s those unexpected ideas that hit you along the way that really make it worthwhile. Patches can be as complex or as simple as you need, but complexity isn’t always a requirement. And once the basic structures are understood, experimentation flows quite intuitively.
This is incredible software to have available on iOS.

The Future of Music
Luckily this has been in develpment for many years, now into version 4. As the feature set evolves, I find it leads to the appreciation of those tools. This is a good time to get in and watch it all unfold.
