You can change the keyboard behavior under the "mod & keys" tab. The two popup menus down to the right there's glissando, scroll, poly hold etc. Set the first popup to glissando and the second to poly , and it will retrigger the notes and keep the keyboard in place.
Edit: actually u can set the second to any of the options that suits u best, not just poly
Thanks@ChrisG that is what I saw earlier.
Thanks fellas. Sad about #1, happy about #2. Who doesn't love a good #2, eh?
Is to early to start a wish list for this thing?
Mucho more scales are needed (and maybe even the ability to make your own?)
Even more customization to the keyboard, like the size (I want even smaller keys). Also slap a hold notes toggle-button and a slide toggle-button on there, don't have it in a menu.
Borrow the kaos pads behaviors in iPolysix (I know the blades can do chords and xy but would love to use the two pads in Nave, iPolysix-style)
Randomize preset/Spawn preset function (like in Animoog or magellan etc) to get you started on new sounds.
Ability to clean out the audio files in iTunes file sharing from within Nave.
I just miss one thing in this great app , a limiter to avoid clipping :-(
no limiter... that's settled it then. I won't be purchasing.
...
kidding of course. Can't wait to get home and play
Since we started the wish list... How about a device volume level. The manual says use the iPad's buttons! If you need a level adjustment while recording in audiobus that won't help. I made one out of the mod wheel but it's upside down. Speaking of upside down, how about some screen rotation as well.
well, I picked it up tonight after work & I gotta say - I love Nave. It's hands down the most satisfying synth experience on ios i've picked up so far. I appreciate Magellan, but I have a hard time squeezing the right sounds out of it...too much work. I thought Addictive synth was great for textures & pads, but it never really hooked me. The free versions of Alchemy and Launchkeys were fun for a bit & I enjoy them, but don't Love them. Figure is really good in my books & I will continue to use it (hopefully some new presets come soon!) Nanostudio's Eden is very very nice indeed, but I don't really get into tweaking the sounds much more than the x/y pad. (should play app with this more for sure). Oh, and I didn't forget you MiniSynth - in some ways I liked you more than your big brother Magellan... but in playing with Nave for just the past hour, I've found it so much better in actually playing & tweaking sounds than any other synth on ipad i own. The interface should win awards for sure. So great and fun and easy to use.
...and i've only gone through maybe 10 or 12 presets so far (bass patches only)... thanks for this great app. (and Audiobus of course too!)
@ Halftone I agree, if I had to delete all but one synth from my ipad, Nave would be still standing. That says a lot, because I love Alchemy.
The bar has been raised! I'm loving the Nave sounds and level of customization. Still have a lot to learn with synthesis though!
Never just one! I'd HAVE to keep Nave, Alchemy, and iMini
Its hard to leave it at that but I feel like I could get by with those and have everything I need. Fortunately I don't have so I will keep 10 or so : )
Is there any way other than iTunes file sharing to export a finished track from the four track...I can ACP individual tracks...but can I do the whole thing...when you select mixdown it just lets me know its in the iTunes thing...
Actually JM's choices are super logical...you have Nave..total digital wavetable, Alchemy..sample based brilliance and iMini..classic analogue...
@smeeth you can adjust the volume on the tape & sys page, just to left of the tape deck.
How do I voice-record a wave?
I thought it would be: on the initial wave screen, pressing "Full", then "tools", and then press the "Talk" button on the left but that just brings up a keyboard prompt. What I type there affects the wave, but it's not a voice recording!
Michael: It synthesizes/creates a new wavetable from the words/sentences you type. So when done you should just be able to play it back like the "I am nave I do synth" preset. You may have to have it set it to cycle through the whole wave and maybe fine tune some of the words in the wavetable editor to have it sound good tho.
Hi @Michael_R_Grant you may also have to play with the switch on the right of the ribbon bar in full screen so that the pitch of the words becomes understandable
Oh, and here is a video that shows exactly how to get nave to speak!
AlterEgo nice :-)
I'm not sure if this is a documented feature or an easter egg, but you can double tap the top right corner of the app to display a configurable oscilloscope.
Thanks, @ChrisG and @AlterEgo. All sorted now.
Ok I have spent some more time with Nave and its a Beast! I don't look at Music apps/ Vst/ Daw's as a better or worse deal, I use them all. Just a few months ago Magellan was the one of the best apps we had, but to some now it's just Meh! The amount of apps coming onto the scene can give me a new is better attitude, and I never settle in to see what each of these babies can do. I'm probably older then most of u and I have heard all of the failed promises from software makers over the years, but what I am seeing in the IOS world is the fulfillment of those promises! iOS apps are light years ahead of what we had years ago,and they fit in our pocket(maybe a big pocket) lol. The key for me is gonna be integration with computers that is gonna take us to a whole new place( Iconnectivity...cough cough) Ok enough soap boxing I am having a Blast with all of these new sound makers!
@HelixPhoenix good spot !
@Daath7: Welcome, fellow old fogey! look for iConnectMIDI4+ for that integration. Real Soon Now (tm). This iOS scene has also greatly re-energized me. Primary pitfall: Appoholism. Primary curb: 32GB. Already sacrificed Myst to music.
Ok you lot, I hold my hand up, I'm a old timer too when I was a teen valve amps were the norm and computers lived in university's and we programmed them with holes punched out of card but
When I got to my twenties it was the commodore Amiga music x and others Pc 386 and cubase that gave me joy and now I have a desktop Intel I7 solid state drives on raid config running Ableton with touch screen and an Intel I3 notebook solid state drive running Ableton and FL studio Evan an IMac running Ableton but since I got my ipad 4 64gb in December 2012 I have not touched any of these for music purposes instead this whole new touchable and portable world of IOS music has completely captured my imagination and allowed me to feel more like a musician than ever before anyway that was my stand up speech at Audio apps anonymous
{ Nave I love you }
Just had my first hour alone away from distractions building my own sounds from an initialised setup and adding different wavs of various recordings and I am totally blown away by it. So incredibly intuitive and easy to use and it sounds amazing - can't quite believe this is on my iPad2. Sound designer heaven and a whole lot more too. I have all the top rated synths on my iPad and I love em all for their individually distinctive reasons but if I had to keep only one, this really is it. Surely it can't get better than this?
After all the previous comments, I wasn't too surprised that Nave sounds awesome - very versatile and powerful, and a number of the presets make you think "How on Earth have they done THAT!" But my big surprise is how accessible it all is. Very easy to get your head around, it almost invites tweaking of sounds, and you can't say that of some other synths. And yet very deep with so much potential. Lovin' it so far!
Anyone managed to come up with any sounds that don't sound harsh or like they're from the 80s?
I'm warming to Nave.I found it a bit 'Berlin/techno/industrial at first.
The Robert Wilkus pads are ok.
Another thing for the wish list would be an option to having the blades follow your finger vertically, covering the whole range while your finger(s) are still on the blade. If I set the vertical axis to change volume, starting from the top and slowly sliding down, my fingers run out of space when the yellow line's about half way.
