A real-time polyphonic synthesizer and sequencer for Android featuring a modular oscillator design, real-time visual feedback, 14 modulation types, and a 16-step multi-track grid sequencer. It includes over 300 preset instruments, MIDI support, and WAV export, providing a flexible environment for sound creation and sequencing.
Modular Oscillator Design – Multiple oscillators per instrument, each with:
• 12 oscillator shapes
• 6 sub-oscillators for detuning and unison
• 14 real-time modulation types
• ADSR envelope control
• Multi-mode filters (8 models)
• Built-in effects: delay line, reverb (3 modulated parameters)
• Up to 60 configurable parameters per oscillator
• Polyphony – Dynamic polyphony based on instrument complexity, sample rate, and hardware capabilities (supports 1 to 100+ voices).
• Adjustable Sample Rate – Ranges from 11kHz to 96kHz for optimized performance
• 16-Step Multi-Track Grid Sequencer
• Color-coded instrument tracks for easy arrangement
• Adjustable scale, octave, tuning, and volume per instrument
• Per-step volume control
• Track envelope control
• Real-time performance editing (cut/copy/paste, solo/mute tracks)
• Block-based pattern sequencing

Samples require more processing power and much more memory than simple waveforms. And alot of interesting sounds can be created using simple waveforms and modulation. Samples will be added in the future for granular synthesis.
A grid sequencer is a simple visual presentation of the notes in a pattern. The grid is laid out in rows, where each row has squares to represent notes from low on the left to high on the right. The cursor descends from the top to the bottom (some grid sequencers pass from the left to the right) and notes are triggered by toggling a particular square.
Oscalate is not a traditional synthesizer and no other synthesizer is like Oscalate. Oscalate has many features that are common to synthesizers, like waveforms, modulation, and envelopes, but Oscalate uses oscillator blocks to modulate parameters and layer sounds. Each oscillator has the same parameters available and can be used to modulate any other oscillator and to generate sound directly. Oscalate offers a unique way to explore sound generating and music.
