NEW - maverick (palette: processors > misc): an effect patched from ingredients of the other processors, three to five blocks with modulators and routings, assembled anew on each placement. new patch (edit view, top bar, left of randomize) assembles another; randomize redraws the values of the current one. - drift (edit view, clock row, after x4): the node's clock wanders about the tempo and stalls at times, so its rhythm plays irregularly at the division chosen. Available on every voice except the sampled instruments. - Custom scale (session settings > scale > custom): a keyboard of the twelve notes, each named; tap a note to add it to the scale or remove it. The scale follows the root note. - AUv3 instrument and effect nodes: a level button (edit view, top bar, left of done) shows or hides the level slider, which sits below the plugin's interface on iPad and above it on iPhone. - visualizer (palette: first section, beside synths and controllers): a node that draws animated visuals from the outlets joined to it; full screen lays them over the canvas, which stays operable beneath. CHANGES - convolve (palette: processors > misc) rebuilt: seven synthesized impulse responses, partitioned convolution, crossfaded on change. - cz, formant (palette: generators): play one octave higher. - bell (palette: generators): plays two octaves higher. - Abstract guided path: draws no percussive or drum families, places every voice as a drone, and sets drift on each so a clock switched on plays irregularly. - Angiogenesis never removes an AUv3 plugin node; it may still move and randomize it. - maverick fades out after the transport stops. - visualizer: preset changes blend without a pause. FIXES - AUv3 plugins: opening a plugin's edit view for the first time no longer causes an audio dropout. - iPhone: the keyboard stays up when a name field is selected in the save and rename dialogs. - Undo after creating a patch restores the previous patch's tempo and key. - Automatic processes (angiogenesis, patch creation, expansion) no longer display refused-connection marks on the canvas. - maverick: the filter block could sustain a square-wave tone with no input; it stays within its stable range. - maverick: new patch starts a new instrument, so the chain heard matches the one shown.

AUv3 Support
Host AUv3 instruments and effects as nodes
Vascular is a canvas-based electroacoustic instrument that allows users to create sound generators and processors by touching the screen. You can then connect these elements to build complex signal paths for unique sound design and music creation.
Vascular boasts 55 synthesis families, including subtractive, FM, additive, granular, spectral, physical modeling, wavetable, wave-terrain, pulsar, and stochastic synthesis. It also features three comprehensive macrosynths and a full DX7 implementation.
Yes, you can host your own AUv3 instruments, effects, and MIDI plugins as nodes on the canvas. Their settings are saved with your sessions, though this feature requires an in-app purchase.
Vascular includes 7 controllers, such as a melodic sequencer with a piano-roll editor, an arpeggiator, a drum machine, and a Game of Life controller. These can be used to play or move other nodes within your sessions.
The app features a shared session clock with tap tempo and allows for independent clock division for each rhythmic source. It also includes an effects sequencer with 4 lanes for controlling processors over time.
Vascular is available for a one-time purchase of $3.99. There are also in-app purchases available for additional features like hosting AUv3 plugins.
While Vascular offers deep complexity, it includes guided paths to restrict generators and processors, making it more accessible. Its visual, touch-based interface can also be intuitive for new users exploring sound design.
Vascular is supported on both iPhone and iPad, offering a versatile platform for music creation on Apple mobile devices.
