TF7 gets Link

For those who only have free TF7, you need to buy the "Chaos Arpeggiator with Presets Pack" for this to work. You turn the feature on in the Settings Menu.
I am so happy I bought all the IAP a while back.
TF has been a mainstay on all my IPads from the beginning.
Love the interface as well as sounds.
Experimented with the new Trig Sequencer running TF7 with session this am. Interface is ideal for my taste on TF7
I've got a nice arp patch going, reduced the reverb to hear it clearly. Now changing the modulation index and switching between harmonic and all values modulation.....really cool effect and syncs with Link
Bought this, bought the packs, deleted it. Re-installed this morning, took a little more time to realize it isn't just bell variations and discover some features I hadn't been bothered enough to discover, am more impressed and pleased to have it. All pretty much because of LINK. Win.
Varying the algorithms opens up a lot of possibilities.
TF7 could use a real programmable arpeggiator instead of the 'semi-random' thing it has today and a proper onscreen piano-keys in addition to the squares. Since the UI is already pretty compact it would make a perfect AUi too.
As a person who owned a DX7 for a decade and love FM, I love TF7, but I am also a bit bewildered by it. This is a personal thing.
With the whammy pads and the hippy-dippy patch names, it seems like the developer wants to situate this in Rudess-land (creative use of touch interface, love of sound designy noises, etc). In my mind, it's the best FM on the iPad, but it perversely doesn't give you a lot of the DX7's most legendary and useful sounds, like the pianos. For example, if you go under "keys" you get "Biological Error," "Distorted Keys," "Elven Forest," "Flying in a Dream," etc. Dedicated explorers can find an FM piano-ish thing or two in there, but there are hundreds of amazing FM piano patches available online. It is weird to me that if I'm looking for varieties of FM pianos, I have to go to places like the Sonik ones on SampleTank or even the Lyra one. (FM4 and DXi aren't much help in this department either).
I think that the developer, Tenacious Frog, should make any kind of app they want. It's no failing that it's not aimed at my needs. But what would be the harm of having this awesome synth appeal to more users? Make a sound pack that is all the famous DX sounds and I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Add a keyboard. Offer the option to save one of the random things the Chaos Arpeggiator comes up with.
This should be another discussion, but I am curious what people use for FM on the iPad.
Love TF7, even though some of my best sounding patches crackle sometimes. Agree though, think this synth would be a better seller if it had a choice of standard keyboard and some more non FXy presets.
There is a reason why I'd live to have asb2m10.github.io/dexed/ for the iPad, it reads sysex files from DX-Line of synths and sounds.
It's free so if you have a desktop available it's worth a test-run.
I see where you are coming from. However, coming at it from another perspective: when I'm stuck with things I often open TF7. The pads make me play things I hadn't tried before, either by lack of skill or by not thinking about notes in the way the pads are laid out. Call it happy accidents if you will, but it often gets me going again.
I do agree on that a regular keyboard could have been an option.
Apps I open when I'm stuck: SunVox, TF7 and at times the *tikls.
TF7 is the only synth that has actually featured in most of my recorded material, ever, though it rarely IS the feature.
EDIT: Correction of Auto-correct who made "rarely" into "really".
@hellquist
Yep good thinking about the happy accidents
@hellquist Agree 100%. Amazing app. And when I look at the way the thing is constructed, the way it's built is as beautiful as the way it sounds.
Another thing. TF7 is another beast entirely when mapping perimeters to control dials. Makes a would of difference changing settings other than the usual front panel Filter controls.
You convinced me...bought the pro expansions. Don't think I'll get the arp and sound packs tho. At least now.
Anyone having problems with no audio via IAA, can't get it working in MusicIO.
Get the arp
wow, it is very cool playing these pads... Hmmm... I may just have to dive into this further
