Tape Op article, Sunvox in depth
http://tapeop.com/reviews/gear/110/sunvox-modular-music-studio/
Been realizing lately (again) that all I really need is Sunvox, AB, and DAW of choice. Maybe not even the the second two...
Comments
SunVox, AudioShare and Mastering does it for me at the moment.
Yes! I forgot Audioshare! (I have yet to delve into mastering)
The thing about that article (I didn't read it all) is that it goes on about the tracker aspect of SunVox which is what puts a lot of people off. The truth is I spend very little time in the tracker only needing the odd trigger for creating sequences.
True. An article about how one can use it for EVERYTHING else is needed.
Thought this one would help folks find their way into slightly deeper waters..?
As a tracker user (I use Renoise as my only DAW environment on my computer), I very much appreciated the info about the tracker in SunVox :P.
Renoise here too. It's badass.
@Littlewoodg It's the best deal out there, like $90 USD for a full license, $55 to upgrade a point version from the original purchase date. Bought 2.0 about 7 years ago and just recently upgraded to 3.1 beta a few month ago. Not bad at all. But that's all fine and good, its the power it has! I'm still finding new things about features that have existed for years before the current beta release to this day. The DSP effects, the cross compatibility, seriously the best sampler/waveform editor I've ever used, amazing mastering tools, LUA scripting built right in, VST/AU support, araguhhhh I can go on and on. What brought your attention to Renoise initially? I got into it when I was really into Breakcore back in the day and found out that Venetian Snares used it along with cEvin kEy of industrial group Skinny Puppy. Haven't looked back since!
Renoise Redux is awesome, as it helps overcome the limitations of Renoise as a DAW. One of the better pieces of music software available on any platform in my opinion.
SunVox is awesome too by the way.
Oddly enough, Sunvox led me to Renoise...Skinny Puppy, Venetian Snares, F*%k yes
@1P18 I'm going to give Redux to my Bitwig for Xmas...
Haha what limitations? :P Have yet to encounter an issue I couldn't overcome and I've been using it for 7 years or so.
Fixed pattern length across all tracks for each scene. Yeah you can work within those parameters, but don't pretend like it's not a limitation.
What do you mean? I'm genuinely curious. TBH I've only ever felt comfortable in a tracker environment compared to the logic/ableton/garageband/fruity loops way of arrangement. Renoise was my first real try at a DAW and it's how I was first introduced to music production.
Edit: To further clarify what I'm asking. Fixed pattern length as in the time each pattern runs down the tracker (like 30 seconds each pattern, 20 seconds per pattern, etc) or the way you can definitely do it for sure in Renoise by setting 340 steps in a pattern, 64 in the next one, etc?
Sure, and I spent a fair chunk of my youth playing with OctaMed on the Amiga, but I was talking really about the other 99.999% of iOS music makers. Those that run screaming when they see a spreadsheet-like thing where they expected a piano roll.
Those folks obviously prefer ScreamTracker.
I'd love to hear more about this. Can you elaborate? I'm SunVox green.
I must put a video together sometime because it's taken me quite a few months to get into a workable routine with SunVox.
There are many little tricks that employed to generate audio and things that sound like patterns. I tend to use a lot of discrete little beat synced delays and echoes with semi-random triggered notes or conflicting modulations that build to make rhythmically interesting sequences and textures.
Also the fact that SunVox has some odd limitations forces you to think a little creatively to achieve certain effects. I'm still just starting out in understanding the possibilities but it is one hell of an app and certainly worth sticking with if you're interested in running a different path to the normal DAW, drum machine and synth combination.
There are a number of good YT vids out there from the dev and users. Another great use is to through it into AB's effects slot and use the mic in on SunVox and create custom effects.
The thing that always keeps me away on the iPad is that using the tracker interface on the touchscreen is annoying. Does anyone have any tips for improving that?
Might be that i've just gotten used to it. (5 years later and also having made ships in a bottle on a Palm and iPhone screen, iPad feels like roaming in a vast pasture)
I use the two finger zoom on the columns a lot, and the setting for edit steps (setting up beats is so fast this way). For melody lines in-app, I use record button and onscreen or midi keys. I like the very light color schemes too, it really dialed in the flow, but how that helped is a mystery. I'm not coming from a tracker background at all, my first experience with them is touch screen, so when I use Sunvox on desktop I'm really slow, and don't have the keyboard stuff down at all.
Email the developer?
Jocphone - I've contacted him before about adding USB-Qwerty support. But it doesn't seem to be on his radar.
It might simply be that I'm used to a particular flow on my laptop.
Sure, I think he has so much work on, with all the platforms supported. It is a bit quiet on the forum.
Sunvox is amazing!
I found a link somewhere that allows you to download about a gig of instruments for sunvox. Almost any sound you can ever need!
If anyone is put off by the tracker aspect, Sunvox can take 4 MIDI channels, so it's great if you just want to design a few instruments and send notes over to them-!
it also works well in the fx slot of AB
Thanks @Jocphone. I'd love to see a video if you ever get around to cooking one up!
That's interesting. With four channels in SunVox, four in MIDISteps, and four in Kirnu Cream, I imagine some very interesting "4 track" MIDI stuff should be right on the horizon.
I'm going to try and work something out soon because I have threatened to do similar for work and it would be good to work out the logistics of making a tutorial video. I think Jakob from TSTR made a video about making videos, must go and find it :$
