## What is Saucillator?

Musical inspiration at the touch of your fingertips - from doodle to zen in seconds.

Inspired by the Korg Kaossilator and Moog synthesizers, Saucillator transforms mobile devices into a platform for creating, playing, and sharing digital synthesizers. Users use the touchscreen to manipulate oscillators and effects, and can also do live-looping and recording. Our goal is to be beginner friendly while at the same time offering all the deep, complex features traditional synth users love. 

Saucillator also now supports AUv3 so you can use many of its features in AUv3-supported host applications (tested with AUM, Loopy Pro, Garageband. Note that some host applications only support some output).

A multi track looper and beat generator are available to create synth loops and synchronize a beat/click track alongside it. Loops can be modified, toggled, and added as you're playing.

Users are able to play custom modular synthesizers using the x-y axes of the touchscreen. The x-axis corresponds to amplitude (volume) and the y-axis corresponds to frequency (pitch). Playback can also be looped, recorded, and EQed using a Parametric EQ.

On top of performing, users are able to create their own custom synthesizers, which consist of a custom timbre and user-defined effects. A variety of timbres are included: Sine, Square, Saw, Pulse, Noise, Theremin, "Singing Saw", "Electric Eel", and "Starslide" (among many more). These, as well as any user-created synths, can be mixed and matched at different harmonics, amplitudes, and phases to create custom sounds.

Each synth has customizable fx parameters as well, including Envelope (ADSR - attack & release), Vibrato LFO (rate & depth), Tremolo, Reverb, Delay, Chorus, Distortion, Parametric EQ, and Note Lag (Portamento). We also include a Filter (low-pass, highpass, bandpass) that can be modulated using an Envelope or LFO.

Custom synths can also be shared with the Saucillator community via an easy built-in sharing tool. Download other users' synths or upload your own, all from in app!

Other abilities:
-Choose scale: Pentatonic, Major, Minor, Blues, or Chromatic (among others).
-Choose the base note for the pad. 
-Control the grid size.
-Record to disk.
-Live visualization of waveforms.
-Play synths with external midi controllers
-AUv3 instrument support

Special thanks to Garrett Langley (http://dribbble.com/glangley) for helping with design and general usability.

### 5/5 — Get it

*2026-06-19, version 4.8.0*

I’ve never reviewed an app before but was so impressed with this I had to do it. Amazing features, lots of adjustability, super grateful for this

### 3/5 — Needs Note Hold/Key Latching

*2026-04-09, version 4.6.2*

Without it one hand is tired up touching the grid constantly.

### 5/5 — Easily a top 3 synth on the App Store

*2026-03-05, version 4.6.2*

I know nothing about synths as I'm a hobbyist music producer. What I do know is that I recognize the amount of control you have to create your own sounds with this synth compared to other auv3 plugins I've downloaded for sounds. 

Anybody who actually knows how to make synth sounds will really appreciate this app especially since it was FREE!

### 5/5 — Wow!

*2026-01-15, version 4.6.2*

It sounds wonderful and it’s free.I hope there will be more like this coming out.

### 5/5 — Pretty awesome!

*2025-12-03, version 4.6.1*

There’s a lot more here than you might think at first.  Start with presets — blow mind — then tweak sliders and get surprised!  Straightforward — and green.

### 5/5 — Great FREE Looping AUV3 Instrument

*2025-12-02, version 4.6.1*

This is really a fun synthesizer to play! The touch grid is really built for expressive playing made better by the ability to record both loops, as well as record and export audio clips. It’s not often that you come across free apps that do it all and are AUV3 compatible. I really recommend this for kids or adults or anybody who likes to make some music quick and easy!

### 5/5 — Really Cool Actually :)

*2025-11-26, version 4.6.0*

Almost dismissed this, until I noticed this app now has AUv3. Much more to this app than I originally thought. Fun too!

### 5/5 — Creativity unlimited!

*2025-11-16, version 4.5.0*

Little you can’t do with this oh-so-simple yet sophisticated app. Can’t get enough of this amazing (and now essential) tool. Take it for a spin and you’ll be sold!

### 5/5 — Hidden Gem

*2025-11-14, version 4.5.0*

Outstanding sounds! I wish I had found this synth sooner!

### 5/5 — sounds and looks gorgeous

*2025-11-10, version 4.5.0*

Good Stuff, classic app, cool developer, actively working to make it more cohesive to iOS environment.   Free.  

Dev is cool, give it a go!
