Do I have to jailbreak to load timbres to the Sandbox?

Here's the dialog I get from iFunbox:

Are u on Mac?

Yes.

I've been able to successfully install timbres in the "Custom" folder, not in the sandbox, but in the file sharing. I will upload a screenshot later.

Please do.

I just made a new folder for timbres and then same presets.

I then "copy from pc" all the items into that newly created folders.

I don't remember a custom folder from Moog?

PM me if you still need help later on

yes! thx but some sounds dont work "seq crooked" timbres are missing, or is
"MMDResonantchord..."
from one of the Moog IAP SoundPacks?

I had the same question. I am guessing from "Minimoog Model D" IAP soundpack.

Just wished Animoog could load banks without the need for a computer

Labor of love.

It is the one thing drives me crazy

I usually am sure to do multiple "file chores" on one day to avoid having to do it much

Usually 1 a month

My bad. I meant "categories":

These timbres show up as they should.

Have you opened up one of those .preset files in an editor? It is interesting.

I tried some of the timbre files, specifically the ones prefixed Animo ~ etc, and loaded them into Grain Science instead. Interesting.

Agreed.

I like when a "open with" surprises me as well

Thanks for these.

I see you used a number of Adventure Kid's single cycle waves for some the timbres. They're a great resource, awesome job he did with those.

Are there some of Discchord's Timbres in there too?

iFunbox 1.8 worked great on my mac to upload presets and timbres. I am also running the latest software on my mac and the latest iOS.

First time really playing around with creating my own custom sound from animooog. Its basic but it was fun.

Yes

And then some of my own.

I can dig it.

What are you playing it on?

My upcoming bank will have a new TIMBRE bank completely original from me for the bank. Takes time though to do these timbres right.

Very OBSERVANT...........................

@RustiK Thanks I was just playing it with the on screen keyboard.

The single cycle waves would have to have been repeated to get the duration (i.e., more than a mere single cycle) but would they have been interpolated from one single cycle shape at one end to another at the other end?

I ask, because I suspect that the Animo is internally dithering or at least using a fixed amount of granular processing as it reads out the wavetable. As I understand it, Animo has eight vertically stacked separate wavetables. Each of these separate audio files is quite short, but involves a set of timbral transitions that could (not necessarily discretely) go through sixteen steps or stages of tonal development. Then Animo will play from the position on the grid that the orbit or path pointy thing that you put your finger on, but not necessarily exactly at that point. From what sounds like to me, the wavetable readout start point includes variation prior or after the point, rather than robotically repeating the readout from exactly the same point. I suspect also that the 1/16th block is also not being adhered to precisely, but again, dithers, almost in a granular manner.

Hence, the single cycle waveforms probably need to be matched up in sequences of sixteen that make sense together, and interpolated nicely between each keyframe.

Or at least that’s what I imagine was done.

@RustiK I had a quick play with them, some vary varied sounds. Good work.

@u0421793 I opened up some of the wavs in audacity and they all seem to be 0.37 secs long. I uploaded one that was 2.7 secs and it worked. Not sure if Animoog is using the entire 2.7 secs or just using the first 0.37 secs.

I did notice that as I moved the path horizontally on the screen it seemed to be stepping through the wave form or at least changing the starting position.

u0421793

Ah wait, seventeen, not sixteen — fencepost error! Seventeen single-cycle frozen waveforms, which will give space for sixteen chunks of interpolation between them.

Wow.

I had to read this 4 times and I am impressed by your knowledge.

Appreciate you sharing it.
