yes!
very cool, it's like photoshop for audio
I was referring to user imported loops...I just saw that you can't change the attributes of the stock loops.
But with imported loops, you can set them to whatever key you want, or turn the key setting off for a particular loop. This opens up the possibility to have loops in different keys on purpose, or to transpose some loops and not others. If you turn off the key label on a loop or set its key to the same as the global setting key -- whether or not it's really in that key -- that loop's pitch will remain the same (until, in the case of the latter scenario, you change the global key). Conversely, you can strategize and select a different key for a loop than the global key in order to get whatever intended pitches you're looking for from a loop.
In other words, the app is always transposing loops to match the global key, and in the case of user loops, it's relying on whatever key you label the loop as being in...so you can just re-label the key for a loop in the attributes tab until it's at your liking.
Similar with tempo -- you can make (imported) loops run in double or half time by playing with their tempo in attributes.
I would like to merge as well as flatten. One of the things I love about Loopy (there are many) is the easy drag one bit onto another bit. Years spent bouncing, I guess. Still, it'd be dead handy...
Yes, you're right. I was thinking about that but then, the Blocs Wave simplicity becomes...you know.
Still, keep playing with the app 'out of the box', lot of fun!
the show ain't over yet, there's allot more capability coming!
I love this. A simple thing, but it adds so much.
I also like the way you support each new feature with very well-made videos.
I really prefer how the key labeling and transposing work. I import all of my loops, and it prompts you to enter attributes, so there are no extra steps to key label. Sometimes I have to take a minute to figure out what minor key a particular loop meshes with, but I'd have to do that anyway if I want a loop to play nice with other samples.
I wouldn't mind the ability to copy and paste the bars in the step sequencer. Love the elegance of it though -- the randomize, undo and erase per bar make for nice workflow. It's surprisingly deep and productive app, with room to run.
What is flatten going to do?
+1!!
Haven't kept up with this thread so apologies if this has been answered. Is there import from music library yet?
hopefully freeze the audio with fx and then print it.
Great support from these guys, I emailed a feature request for MIDI clock sync and received a reply very quickly. (It's on the request list and will apparently be more likely if they receive more requests)
Also asked whether randomise within the slicer could just choose from within the current range/zoom area as I thought that would be allow for some granular type results and be fairly logical. If you can freeze an area to a new file that could work too though for that application.
I love the idea of the randomize feature but I'd like it to have the option of being constrained or free for a wide range of uses, and users.
You and your damn panning Mister @kobamoto. Now you've got me doing it. Fed up there was none in Blocs I just spent an hour recording (in perfect fours and eights) into Loopy so I go a) get 12 slots b) merge where I wanted to and c) pan each segment to my crooked heart's desire. Quite good actually. Got up at three a.m. in Austin and am now listening to the rain fall here in the Maine woods which is all around and thus panned completely....
Yeah, I see what you mean about randomizing from only a selected portion of the loop...I even expected it to already do that, because the ability to only randomize one bar at a time in the sequencer is such nice feature already in the app.
Maybe flatten will let us truncate parts of loops, so that we can lop off part of a sample and slice up the bit we want.
Merge would be nice...I'll get slots with just a little piece of sound here or there, which are basically of the same instrumentation and/or frequency of other slots, and so could easily be combined to save space without creating an EQ/mixing quagmire at the back end.
Import is only from Audioshare and AudioCopy, no music library. So to get music library stuff in there you'd need to import them in through AudioShare.
Bug found!
I have project that records the slices in the pattern that is not playing?!
Hard to explain I will make a video
I didn't know Blocs had effects!
There's a "hopefully" there...
No one seems to know yet I think.
My guess is takes whatever tracks are selected and makes a new loop with those tracks. Like, maybe prompts a pop up asking you to "Select Tracks to Flatten" and then adds it to your library? One can hope...
I really like Blocs but Loopy is still my main looping workhorse, for the reasons suggested here and more.
That'd be great!
it's gonna be great when we can import audio via our iTunes libraries
So right now, can you get iTunes stuff in via Audioshare? Or any other way?
Ok. Just found out for myself. You can.
OMG.
This is very, very cool.
yeah it's cool, but not convenient imo, getting samples into sample slicers on the iPad via the iTunes library is one of the basic standards, I'm sure it's on the way.
Stuck on something basic. Can I turn off count in? Trying to grab a snippet of something playing from AudioShare into Blocs via AB. Old school non quantized material. Annoying that I have to tap out a tempo and anticipate my start time a measure ahead. Is there just a way to hit record, instantly grab the sample, stop record, with no count in or need to tap a tempo?
The way we do this, is to first set Record to Infinte recording length, then hit record in Blocs Wave. In your own time, just start the thing your trying to capture, leave it as long as you want before you start this.
Clearly, you might now have a large gap at the start of your recording, so in edit mode, just hit 'Slip' And slip the first beat your your record sound, to the first beat of our grid.
There's a tutorial that shows this in more clearly here (around 5 minutes in):
Blocs Wave only shows up as an option in the list of output apps in AB if I start Blocs Wave first. Is this a known bug?
