How it should be done - Blocs & Launch

[Deleted User]

So people hate when we write our dislike of certain apps.

Well those companies should take a leaf out of the creative book of the makers of Launchpad and BlocsWave.

Here we have two apps that take two different approaches. They listen and over time are making both of these apps into two of the most useful apps available.

@Launchpadforios your teams should be commended for your hard work. I for one will gladly keep buying your product and support your fine work. Your support for iOS is appreciated and makes me more likely to buy your hardware product too.

Thank you again for listening to your customers

I DL LaunchPad and LaunchKey from inception and I must give hats off to Novation for bringing LaunchPad so far and now to include Blocs in their App list.
Keep listening to your users and develop the apps, only one draw back, would of liked to see LaunckKey developed also.
Once again Thanks

Agreed. I think Blocs Wave is a great example of a simple, fun, easy to use app that could have mass appeal. Unlike the app that shall not be named , Blocs Wave is being actively developed with a deeper feature set of use in production and live performance.

Nah, I'd rather they made a decent iOS synth instead

Perhaps a synth that emulates those found in the circuit, that could also work as a synth editor for circuit.

I'd start finding a spark for an idea by browsing and 'bending' loops using Blocs wave and/or by messing with patches on the circuit,
Then when i'd found a circuit patch I like I'd load it into the iOS synth and fine tune it
Start building a tune within Launchpad by recording drums from circuit into Blocs wave or importing loops from Blocs wave
As I want more synths or to remove some load from the iPad or to be able to easily tweak the synths during performance I'd move the synths back to the circuit.

That would give me a perfect solution for 99% of what I am trying to do on iOS.

Of course, further down the line i'd want Circuit FM and Circuit Wavetable and Circuit Granular - all with compatible iOS emulations

Why stop when you're on a roll, eh?
