Nulltrack vs PLICATA

Launch price $4.99 — rises to $7.99 four weeks after release. Get it early! Nulltrack! It's null when you start and a track when you finish! Nulltrack is a tracker and digital audio workstation app for your phone. A different way to make music inspired by LSDJ and the Dirtywave M8. Features: AUv3 plugin support - bring your external synths and effects into your track! Two built-in synthesizers -- A versatile two-oscillator Basic Synth and a feature-rich Bass Synth. A built-in sampler -- record your own samples with your phone's microphone, load your own, or use the built-in samples, set loop points, slice, reverse, etc. Modulation -- Modulate nearly anything with LFOs, AHD / ADSR / drum envelopes, velocity, randomness, and key tracking, filter, panning, and more. Mixing Features -- track faders with solo and mute, 13 built-in effects, sidechain compression Sends -- share effects between tracks Customize your swing/playback with groove tables! Lock your patterns to a built-in scale! ...and much more! New to trackers? They're a fast, grid-based way to write music. Try it out! No ads, no subscription, no in-app-purchases, and no account needed.

PLICATA is a compact patchable monophonic instrument for hands-on sound design and performance. A morphing oscillator feeds wavefolding, a resonant filter and flexible VCA contour, while an independent SUB oscillator adds octave, interval and eight waveform modes. PATCH IT The 28-socket patch system opens audio, CV and event routing. Modulate FOLD without replacing the oscillator path, reset the LFO externally, replace the internal SUB source, control SUB level by CV, distribute modulation through MULT, or build feedback and audio-rate networks. Patch cables are recalled with your sounds. MICROTONAL XY PERFORMANCE The 13-key XY keyboard spans C4–C5. Tune every key independently by ±100 cents or start from 12-TET, Just Intonation, Pythagorean and quarter-tone templates. Horizontal movement adds pitch expression up to ±24 semitones; vertical movement can map each key to as many as eight sound parameters or performance macros. PERFORMANCE VIEW + 32-STEP ARPEGGIATOR Tap PERF for an expanded keyboard-focused surface. The arpeggiator follows INTERNAL, HOST or MIDI clock and offers UP, DOWN, UP/DOWN, AS PLAYED, RANDOM, WALK, CONVERGE, DIVERGE and CHORD styles across up to four octaves. Build patterns from 1 to 32 steps with independent pitch, octave, velocity, gate, probability and ratchet lanes. HOLD captures the note pool; FILL creates a momentary variation. Adjust swing, gate, velocity behavior, probability and ratchets live. Rotate patterns, create temporary MUTATE variations, FREEZE the result, and recall seven ARP scenes with optional MIDI keyswitch control. MACROS, MIDI AND SYNC Six bounded performance macros shape tone, motion, fold, envelope, drive and level. IGNITE is editable: choose multiple targets, ranges and response curves, then store the mapping independently from sound presets. The keyboard can output 12-TET MIDI or preserve microtonal tuning through pitch bend with ±1, ±2, ±12 and ±24 semitone ranges. PLICATA also supports MIDI/MPE input, host sync and externally reset or free-running LFO operation. COMPLETE SOUND STATES PLICATA ships with 20 factory sounds and a full user-preset system. User sounds recall synthesis, patch cables and performance configuration together. Search, organize, favorite, duplicate and tag sounds, or use GEN to create a complete new musical state without overwriting your library.
