Inspired by the Korg Kaossilator and the Moog synthesizer, Saucillator transforms mobile devices into a platform for creating and playing digital synthesizers. It uses the touchscreen to manipulate oscillators and effects, and it also allows for live-looping and recording.

Users are able to play custom 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 small variety of timbres are included: Sine, Square, Saw, Pulse, Noise (white)*, Theremin, "Singing Saw", "Electric Eel", and "Starslide." 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), LFO (rate depth), Delay (rate decay), and Note Lag.

Other abilities:

-Choose scale: Pentatonic, Major, Minor, Blues, or Chromatic

-Choose the base note for the pad.

-Control the grid size.

-Record to the SD card.

-Toggle visualizations. More to come here.

Notes:

*I fully intend to make noise scale with frequency and actually become useful (e.g. "Red" Noise).

Permissions Needed:

- SD card access: for saving instruments and recordings.

- Vibration: For haptic feedback.

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