"BEST UNSUNG AMAZING APP"__________________________
What app do you use and think is the bomb even though no one really talks about it?
For me, OSCILAB. I'm not sure if people realize it is essentially a massive sequencer with a quality library of included samples AND a WAVE station for total synth manipulation of wave scales and notes.
This app is amazing. Especially for IPhone.
You can drive like 3 or 4 different apps at once while doing the beat on OSCILAB making for a complex yet quick and easy MIDI set up. But still has a fascinating filter/wave/amp settings options that allow for cool as melodies.
For instance, I use OSCILAB with 3 channels into Sampletank and 1 into Sunrizer while on a treadmill and it is still easy to use.
U.I. is super intuitive.
As a sidenote, in my opinion, OSCILAB is a good primer conceptually for grasping Different Drummer.
WHAT ABOUT YOU? WHAT APP IS YOUR SECRET CRUSH THAT NO ONE KNOWS?
Comments
oscilab is one of my favorites as well
Cool thread. I have to think.
Squashit.
I would love to have it in a hardware stompbox form.
It's not really unsung, but Geo Synth is one of my favourites.
Seline Redux.
I love the sounds on it, easy to play. It was kinda on the back burner for me. With the Synthmaster competition, and well that Synth is crazy good as well.
I like Werkbench (hoping for an update). It's rarely mentioned here.
Voco (TC-11 and Strom as seconds)
It's the Scottish Play of apps.
Would have said Seline Redux too, but it no longer works well with iOS 9. So I'm going to go with Metronom or TE Tuner or Wavemapper.
I grabbed Wavemapper AND Wavegenerator about a month ago and started fiddling lately.
I wish import of sounds was easier( I dont use ITunes library)
Overall, they are really quality.
As a sidenote, I also have been looking at Grain Science of my purchased apps and considering taking another run at that.
Werkbench is a cool app.
Only issue I have is with the placement and duration of samples.
I wish you could edit the waves upon sampling sounds.
Along the same vein, I do like Yellowfied for the above stated reason.
No idea what this is.
Heading to the App shop to check it out.
Is that a Jordan or Red Dog app or something?
I always feel like I have enough synths,
until I buy another one.
Thank God for 64 IPHONE 6s plus. Salvage yard for my apps instead of IPad.
It's a Jordan app, and although you can indeed use the built-in synthesis, I really like it as a MIDI controller for other synths. It's laid out and plays like a stringed instrument so you can do nice bends with it, and the melodies that you come up with tend to have the feel of strings rather than keys.
Lorentz is one of my faves but rarely see mention of it. Synth is fairly basic but boosted by a superb filter delay mod.
Audiostretch another - I prefer scrubbing/playing samples with this than more popular apps such as Samplr.
iFretless guitar and bass - again don't hear much about them but both regularly used.
Oops. Shhhhhh....
Guitarism. Maybe not as unsung as others but definitely amazing. As a non guitarist who wants to create guitar based riffs, albeit only 3 chords for now, it has changed my musical life. For everyone's info, I received an answer from Rhism about my iOS 9 question:
"Unfortunately I have not yet updated Guitarism for iOS 9 - I’m told that it works ok in stand-alone mode but not inside Audiobus. The main reason I haven’t been able to do this yet is that the app is in the middle of some other code changes, so I can’t simply do the iOS 9 update on its own until I finish the other changes. As a result I’m not yet sure by when I can get that update out."
Anyway, there's a good selection of presets to start, from clean to distortion & is my No1 most used & loved app.
TC-Data as MIDI controller. The presets suck unless you modify basic tempo & key parameters. But after that, you get a feel for what you can do and how to program your own patches to get what you want out of it. It is not as daunting as it seems.
I'd love to see patches that others have come up with, but it's rarely mentioned. (I saw TC-11 mentioned earlier, I just don't love the sound engine, even after the major 2.0 improvement).
Please tell me what you use this for and/or give me an example or a screenshot of the levels you use.
I love their stable of apps, but i've never been able to use this to get anything satisfactory, on multiple instruments or mixes of songs. I bought it primarily when I was trying to get a good DI guitar sound so I could bypass the amp simulators (basically a Prince 'Dirty Mind'-esque Telecaster).
ChordMapMidi - helps if you have some basic knowledge of music theory. Still works fine if you don't, though.
Thanks. Looks interesting but does it have minor scales? Seems like it's only major scales and everything I write tends to be in minor scales.
Folks have forgotten about Improvox. Great for those of us who can't sing or are tone deaf. I guess it would work for good singers too. Cool on Guitars.
I have had great results using it on individual vocals, drums, synths, guitars. However, I have never attempted to use it on multiples or overall mixes.
I usually run the app into thumbjam (ChordMapMidi generates no sound on its own), and then choose whatever scale or key I want using the midi scale lock feature, including minor.
Lorenzt is aammaazzing
Really easy to get lost in making a patch.
As a matter of fact, all ICE products are as far as I am concerned.
Haven't had luck with LFOstep app into LORENZT or LAPLACE yet. I tried but no go.
Although Different Drummer gets a fair amount of coverage, a lot of it is less than positive. It's still one of my faves, but the other one I enjoy a lot is Guitar Toolkit, which is rarely discussed. It's by the same dev as AmpKit, and you can even use the Ampkit tones with it. With the IAP, you get a more sophisticated metronome, but most importantly, to me, is the chord sheets. I'm not sure if that requires the IAP or not, but well worth it, if that's the case. What it does is allow you to pick a scale, select matching chords, then add those to a chord sheet. You can then play the chords from the sheet, print out the chord sheet, or email it. For boning up on theory, its great, but I enjoy it for getting a quick composition together (play the chords from the app with the metronome in the background, while I struggle through the lead bits, using the scale I started with.)
Remember Earhoof or sqrt, anybody?
I use Earhoof somewhere or another on at least half the tunes I ruin. Just in bits and pieces. A non-fill filler. Didn't realize it was unloved/unknown....Definite B grade keeper.
For me SynthX by WayOutWare, such a pity this lies dormant, has the expressive control of Thumjam, with a simple, but deceptively deep, and nice sounding synth. Such a joy to waste time with this app.
