Kauldron is our warmest sounding, punchiest synth yet! A completely new modeling technology, combined with carefully designed features help you create aggressive synth sounds full of rich analog textures with the fewest knob tweaks. The result is a pure, head-on tone that requires little or no FX or post-production to sound big. Kauldron pushes every available iOS technology to the max: it is not only fully universal (you can run it natively on your iPad and iPhone), but also an Audio Unit plugin. In fact, it is one of the first fullscreen AUv3 plugins for iOS: with a compatible DAW, you can enjoy all the great Kauldron features on a nice, big spread. Kauldron debuts the next generation of our Artificial Intelligence preset creation system, SPAWN². Completely reimagining the groundbreaking SPAWN algorithms in our hugely popular Magellan, the new SPAWN² gives you unprecedented control over generating presets. In the expert mode, you can accomplish anything from subtle ‘variations on a theme’ to bold new sounds. In the basic mode, where Kauldron does all the thinking, you get preset after usable preset with just a touch. This is not simple randomization: it is the power of machine learning put to benevolent use! Kauldron is designed with modulation and fine dynamic control in mind. The two fully-featured LFOs and the mod envelope combine with a wide variety of MIDI learnable controls to manipulate multiple parameters. Everything is easily set up in a clearly laid out ‘mod matrix.’ The dual XY-pads can be used for controlling modulation or a wide range of synth parameters. MIDI aftertouch can be routed via the matrix for even greater control over expression and tonality. Powerful arp with both live & program modes; comprehensive MIDI features with effortless MIDI learn; over 900 presets; recording, sharing, IAA, Audiobus 3, Ableton Link — these are just some of the features brewing inside Yonac’s Kauldron.

    One of my top favs
    Though it looks like a simple synth at first glance, it can deliver a good range of sounds. I wouldn’t say it’s my fav synth as it’s hard to judge, but it’s definitely in a group of my faves. Efficient, has a character, easy/pleasant to use, good sound quality, good presets management (can create banks and rearrange slot-based patches). Has AUv3. Another excellent synth from these guys is Magellan 2, both are must-have, imho. Very pleasant to use, feels like hardware. Show more

    Great Presets
    I love the presets and the filter pads are easy to use!

    Modulation
    How do you define Mod control 1-4 in the modulation matrix?
  • GrahamBablam, 28.12.2019
    Powerful, stable and rich.
    Kauldron is an incredible synthesizer! Three OSCs, an arpeggiator, extensive effects and modulation capabilities... look, it’s $10. Buy it.

    Poly Aftertouch Dream
    An amazing app from very a talented developer. Works fantastic with my Kurzweil MIDIBoard. The sounds are all very distinctive in an interface that is at once intuitive and powerful. Show more

    So far so good on iOS 10
    Will this work with iOS 12 ???

    Realistic Analog Sound
    This synth has a very expensive sound quality, one of the best on the appstore. Just amazing!

    Yes!!!
    Guitars, organs, Kauldron, and magical connotations. Tobacco is good company to keep!

    Still no fix for the AUv3 bug
    Kauldron is a great standalone iOS synth. Unfortunately, it’s effectively useless as a plugin due to a bug that I reported over a year ago. When loaded as an AUv3 (I’ve tried it in BeatMaker 3, GarageBand, NanoStudio 2) with a MIDI keyboard connected over Lightning, Kauldron doesn’t conform to the standard behavior of only receiving MIDI notes when its track is selected. Instead, it receives notes regardless of the current track. So if you record a bass line with Kauldron and then try to record a lead with Zeeon, Model 15, or any other AUv3, your lead also triggers notes on Kauldron. As I said above, I reported this bug over a year ago, and never received a response. It’s disappointing because Kauldron sounds great! I’d love to use it in my iOS production, but I can’t with this workflow-breaking bug. Show more
