Drambo is an innovative modular groovebox and audio processing environment. Modular components are used to build synthesized and sample based instruments and audio effects using high-quality DSP and audio-rate modulation. Tied to a powerful sequencer, it's an optimal music creation tool for sound design, composition, performance, and experimentation.
At the heart of Drambo lies an entirely new concept that makes modularity easy, fun and affordable. Modules are connected automatically, with no cables as you add or rearrange them. A dynamic interface creates modulation knobs when you need them. Modules may house other modules, so you can keep your patch well organized. Of course, automatic connections can be overridden. In Drambo you can focus on playing with sound and signal structure without getting lost in wires.
Use a deep and innovative sequencer to compose patterns and whole tracks, for production or live performance. Go beyond simple looping sequences with parameter locking, conditional step components, and powerful scene morphing. Drambo works equally well as a self-contained standalone app or audio unit plugin with audio and MIDI connectivity as an AUV3 instrument, audio effect, and MIDI effect. No modular experience necessary to get started playing with preset sounds and effects.
Features.
Unique modular concept: cable-less, drag'n'drop, color coding dynamic interface, automatic connections, and customizable compact, rack views.
Directional flow (helps in better overview). There are no instant feedback routings in Drambo. Delayed feedback is possible using certain modules.
Simple and clean interface, that scales to every size and device orientation.
Custom modular racks, presets on different levels.
Polyphonic, stereo processing. Audio-rate modulation. All signals are equal.
Multiple modulators per parameter without additional mixer modules.
Polyphonic step sequencer with parameter locks and step components. Up to 64 beats and 256 steps per pattern.
Over 120 modules available, such as: oscillators, samplers, physical modelling modules, LFOs, envelope generators, filters, audio effects mixers, MIDI processors, sequencers and math functions.
Morph groups: you can morph many parameters using a single slider.
Audio Units hosting. Instrument, effect and MIDI effect AUv3s are visible as Drambo modules.
Available as a standalone app, AUv3 instrument, effect and MIDI effect.
I would give this app ten stars if that would be possible. And it's difficult to put this app into a specific category because it is so versatile:
In two words: Well done.

Absolutely the most comprehensive and inspiring modular synthesis environment anywhere! With its innovative and fluid UI, building the synthesizers of your dreams are limited only by your imagination. Roll your own, and/or add any number of AUv3 synths, AUv3 MIDI effects/sequencers, and AUv3 audio effects to your project. Manipulate, mangle, morph and sequence audio samples easily, or scrub through a sample on a granular level with the new Wave Scanner module.
Drambo can host all of it, or Drambo itself is a Multi-out audio AUv3 which can be hosted in your favorite DAW. It can even host itself (Load instances of Drambo auv3 inside the standalone host!)! Flexibility is only part of what makes Drambo the KING.
Drambo is a sound designer's paradise!
On top of all that, you can then use all of the amazing sounds you've just created in conjunction with Drambo's feature rich song building tools to create music of any genre. Clip launching, pattern building, and a virtually unlimited number of tracks and scenes, you can create a beat, a song, or an entire album.
The possibilities are literally endless with what you can create with Drambo. Only the sky (and your imagination) is the limit.

Read ReviewAbsolutely fantastic app, almost infinite possibilities, sound quality stellar but still light on CPU. Enormous amount of modules, synthesis/fx heaven. Perfect groovebox / live performance tool. Must have for every iOS musician .

dRambo sits right in the heart of my studio.
I use it for everything, sequencing, synthesis, sound design, composition,
controlling my external hardware synths and for my physical Eurorack modules.
Get it, dive right in, it's fun.
