Welcome to the Launch of Oscalate!
Hello Product Hunt! 🎉
I'm Charles, the creator of Oscalate, a real-time polyphonic synthesizer for Android. My goal was to build a visual app that allowed me to create music whenever and wherever inspiration struck. I wanted to explore musical soundscapes and create new sounds without relying on samples. After several years of development (while sharing the joys of my children's childhood) I want to share the tool that I still use almost daily. Inspired a bit by music trackers of long ago, and accessible to musicians of any level Oscalate gives me the freedom to create almost anywhere and I hope you find it useful too.
Here's what makes Oscalate special:
- Create and Layer Sounds: Use modular real-time oscillators to craft unique layered multi-timbral instruments (with more sound generation methods coming soon).
- Straightforward Sequencing: Compose patterns, blocks, and full songs with an easy-to-use 16-step grid sequencer.
- Extensive Sound Library: Includes over 300 instruments, with more instrument packs on the way.
- Export & Share: Render your creations to WAV files to share with the world.
- MIDI Support: Play with an external MIDI controller for more dynamic performance and control.
It's available on Android!
Versions and Upgrades (available as in-app purchases):
Discovery (Free Version): Up to 6 instruments and 32 blocks in the sequencer, reduced sample rate for WAV files, MIDI support, view-only synthesizer settings.
Compose (Paid Version): Unlocks expanded features, up to 16 instruments and 128 blocks in the sequencer, view-only synthesizer settings.
Design (Coming Soon) - Paid Version: Will offer unlimited instruments and blocks in the sequencer (up to the limits of your hardware/phone), export instruments and songs to XML, share songs and instruments, full synthesizer access, and free instrument packs.
I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback. Feel free to ask any questions or share how you envision using Oscalate in your musical repertoire. Your feedback is invaluable as I continue to improve and expand the app.
Thank you for checking out Oscalate! 🚀

Welcome to Product Hunt, Charles! Really excited about Oscalate—especially the 16-step sequencer. The MIDI support is a huge plus for dynamic performances. Can't wait to see more instrument packs in the future! 🎶
@kyrylosilin Hi, thanks for the question. There are no specific plans for direct integration with other production tools, but Midi export is the first step with other formats possible if there is demand.
The app will be ported to other platforms as well to benefit from the performance possibilites and portability.
