## What is VOLBot?

Back to fundamentals….Compositional practice is about constructing and organizing multiple layers of sonic material at first step. In production, we use DAW’s to present this material on separate tracks with either synthesized sounds in real time, or recorded material as sound files or live audio input.

The simultaneous overlapping of sonic material is being created  with different balancing strategies, and mixing techniques. The volume control of each track on a DAW has been offered with sliders like a mixing console and scoring possibilities with the volume automation data for each track on the time line. 

There are no practical solutions or an engine to creatively manipulate the balance of the DAW tracks at once with a common gesture in real time. ! The VOLBot is exactly filling this gap.

VOLBot iOS ( the server ) and VOLBot iOS client instances are located on separate DAW audio tracks on usual AUv3 plugin slots and the VOLBot communicates remotely with its client instances. With this distributed audio plugin architecture, you will be able to control an entire fleet of DAW tracks together in real time with your parameter controls on the VOLBot iOS communicating with VOLBot clients on other tracks.

VOLBot serves as a complex CV generator too. You can pitch quantize its output with many available tune scales for VCO modulation.

Since a stochastic function generates numbers on random iterations, although each instance of the VOLBot client will be on the same distribution range as the server, it will demonstrate a variation of the intensity modulation created by the VOLBot server.  

Be it stochastic complex control waveforms to interact with or simple touches, this control data serving as intensity modulator will be shared among all the existing VOLBot’s. This opens a wide range of creative possibilities for your production. The richness of this variation being created algorithmically will save you a lot of manual experimentation efforts and present possibilities which you wouldn’t imagine before.

Attention : You have to download the free VOLBotClient app as well to use the distributed audio plugin structure.

### 1/5 — Crashes immediately on launch in iOS 18

*2025-11-07*

Pls fix, and will revise review

### 5/5 — All classic

*2024-02-22*

Wonders!

### 5/5 — Clever.

*2020-11-06*

Quite wonderful, really. Such a unique and twisted means of processing audio. It's exactly the sort of modulation that I adore - spending hours configuring or programming modulators and LFOs and effect chains and mapping parameters and scaling and on and on... 

Now I can drop a few clients on these layers and get nasty with VOLBot. 

Really hope to see more iOS offerings from these developers. Cosmos is a work of art. Fundamental is also a must, for those  'experimental' people out there.

**Developer response:** thank you

## Frequently asked questions about VOLBot

### What is VOLBot?

VOLBot is a paid iOS application designed to provide real-time control over multiple audio tracks within a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW). It acts as a central controller for balancing and modulating track volumes simultaneously.

### How does VOLBot work with other apps?

VOLBot utilizes a distributed audio plugin architecture. You need to download the free VOLBotClient app as well, which works with VOLBot iOS as AUv3 plugins on separate DAW tracks to enable remote communication and control.

### Can VOLBot be used offline?

The application requires a DAW environment to function, which typically involves a computer. While the app itself is installed on iOS, its use within a production workflow implies an internet connection for DAW operation and potential cloud syncing, though the core plugin functionality is local.

### What kind of modulation does VOLBot offer?

VOLBot generates stochastic control waveforms, meaning they are based on random iterations. This allows for algorithmic variation in intensity modulation across all connected VOLBot instances, offering unique creative possibilities.

### Does VOLBot have ads?

No, VOLBot does not contain advertisements. It is a paid application with a one-time purchase price of $34.99.

### What devices is VOLBot compatible with?

VOLBot is currently supported on iPads. It is designed to integrate with DAWs that support AUv3 plugins.

### How often is VOLBot updated?

The app was last updated on February 21, 2024, indicating active development. Users can expect regular updates to improve functionality and compatibility.

### Where can I find more information about VOLBot?

You can download the official manual from www.sonic-lab.com/VOLBot_files/VolBot_iOS_manual.pdf and find relevant video tutorials on the sonicLAB YouTube channel.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 2.0 — 2024-02-21

- fully 64bit internal audio resolution, the rendering is converted to 32bit only at the final stage while delivering the signal to the output. 
- The standalone version of VOLBot can now export and import preset bank files directly from its VOLBotiOS document folder, which is easily accessible with the iPAD Files app.

### 1.0 — 2020-10-31
