    Which oscilloscope app did you get?

    Tim Webbs video review sold FM4 to me immediately, a really nice description of FM. I also bought an oscilloscope app (not AB) to watch the modulation just like in the video. Im now in mad scientist heaven

    yes please. which one?
    and/or which oscilloscope apps do people recommend?

  • I love DXi: it is my synth of choice for quickly programmimg sounds (yes, you read right): does anyone know how FM4 stacks against it?

    Better quality app with more options and you can save presets without worrying about overwriting like with the DXi.
    They don't sound the same so you wouldn't be doubling up on sounds either.

  • Seline is .99, I bought a few more of the preset sound packs, I have 9 total. Now, I have them all, I got upgraded to all 16 for free! Score! I love this synth. The sounds are great, and it's so easy to play. I don't need to connect it to a virtual midi player to make it sound good. :)

    Mint sale appears to be over - that was fast! I would have been all over it for the price of an egg mcmuffin

    Man, that was quick!

    Yep. I almost got that yesterday evening, but was on my way out to a concert with the wife and decided to at least sleep on it. Was about to pull the trigger over coffee and it wasn't on sale. Oh well. I've got too many as it is. Glad they helped me not buy another one. ;)

    When that happens to me I always take it as a sign that I really didn't need that particular app (and I'm not even superstitious)

    And can anybody verify if the DRC Polyphonic Synth is actually on sale? It's apparently free, but the price to "unlock the synth engine" — whatever that means — seems to have dropped from $14.99 to $9.99. Not sure if it's worth it?

    DRC is one of my favorite and most-used synths. The Unlock (there's a 7-day free trial) was definitely $15 when I bought it so $10 is a relative Deal.

    Thank you, @pichi! Is is as straightforward to program as DXi though? I don't like to have to rely on presets, regardless how good and comprehensive the preset library is...

    Yeah, it doesn't quite sound like anything else. But I've had it for more than a week (and it obviously must be updating somehow, since the IAP price has changed within the app!). Its midi menu is sort of unaccessible right now; does that change with the unlocked synth? I'll send a note to the dev.

  • It's a shame that neither FM4 or DXi support cc mapping or have any cc control.

    It's easier to program than DXi in my opinion. And it lends itself very well to creating your own patches (I too am no fan of presets, although there are some good ones in there).

    Both have strengths and neither for me was far out front of the other -- I'd say Final Touch is a must for $5.

  • @theconnactic I think that FM4 is a much better synth than DXi, but I prefer programming with DXi, because it looks like the good old DX7 interface, down to the colors. The old charts of the algorithms and the visual ADSR are the language I know about programming FM. I like pulling the ADSR envelope more than adjusting four sliders. I can see the sound better.

    FM4 has the same stuff, but in a re-imagined design. The vertical algorithms are hard for me to decipher. It's the same stuff, just a new interface. If you didn't spend years programming DX7 patches, then it wouldn't make any difference. (By the way, I was never so crazy as to try to make presets on the DX7 itself--I used computer software.)

    TF7 is way too complicated for me to think about programming it.

    But Kaikoo, you were right about Borderlands. Bought it and waded into a David Lynch soundworld for about — wow, that was an hour past bedtime.

    Yes DRC unlock is 33% off

  • Borderlands is overdue an update , I get a lot if problems running it through aum . Tried again just now and it either killed all sound , or after rebooting wouldn't play . Feels like it's been abandoned

    Maybe, but hopefully not. The dev is still tweeting about it (just 18 hours ago, in fact), and he responded to a tweet from a month ago asking about any Borderlands update with this:

    No. If you own audio mastering then use that. Unless there's an update I never heard about, you can't trim the ends, do fades, etc. Mastering processor? Perhaps. Mastering app? No. Nice graphics, I beta tested this one and they basically abandoned it. You're better off going in a different direction.

    Did PG really abandon it? I've seen recent updates to it. Seems to work well for me. Better than it used to. I mostly use Fab Filter, but have used this too.

  • I unlocked DRC, it is a fun little synth. Has there ever been a plainer looking capable synth on the app store? I mean this thing isn't even going to win any cool looking awards like 35 years ago. lol.....

    Some really cool sounds with this one, and it is easy to tweak it to come up with my own presets.

    Any opinions on how FM4 compares to other fm iOS synths?
    Is it the best sounding?

    I personally prefer it to TF7, although the latter is good too (+ in-app add-on or two for more capabilities). FM4 adheres to the Yamaha / Dr John Chowning idea of FM operators more closely, but explodes the UI out to knobs and controls. This becomes a lot more explanatory than Yamaha’s “paint the hallway through the letterbox” usability was in the DX days. FM4 takes a 4-operator synth and presents it the way it could have been done with analogue in the pre-midi days, had anyone decided to make such a product.

    FM is a superb idea for generating rich dynamic harmonics in the source. The reason people think it is a frighteningly complicated science? The first digital FM synths had a few lines of green LCD characters near some buttons and a slider — that’s all. That barrier alone will repel any sane person, and I think that’s still responsible for the reputation. (I learned FM on a Yamaha CX5m MSX music computer in the mid ’80s — a whole screenful at once!).

    (By the way, here’s some fun with my Mono/Poly, using cross modulation and FM, before my full 1hr tour — this is what turned out to be an out-take).

    Agree on "TF"

    However, I would also add that in my opinion one of the best FM apps is PRODIGY.

    Also, Universal.

    LOW CPU

    But, it takes a little work. It is cheap though.

    @ExAsperis99 though 2 years old this iOS Mastering Apps comparison might help you decide.

  • More love for FM4 - I'm not in general a fan of FM synths, but this is so accessible I saved a handful of my own presets within half an hour of dowloading. The unison modes add a richness that is often missing from FM. I'm a convert!

    Which oscilloscope app did you get?

    I decided this one would be the best. It's not AB compatible. There is a surprising lack of Audiobus oscilloscopes! I'm happy with its triggering so that you get a single waveform on the screen, also it's x-y plot which is cool but it doesn't do spectrum analysis. I'm connecting from the source (FM4 on one iPad) via a headphone splitter into a iRig guitar into the headphone/microphone jack on a iPhone 5 and the sound and image is clean. It also works on iPad and also with a few usb sound cards, I can confirm the Behringer UCA222 works.

    Forgot i had these 2 free ones. In case anyone wanted to try a free(not the greatest but decent) oscilloscope app.

    Oscillo (find it works best with at 54 ms. swipe with finger)
    Soundbeam(oops not free now. $1) in waveform mode
    https://itunes.apple.com/en/app/soundbeam/id494982357?mt=8
    I used this video to try the apps out along side,

    both for iphone but can be used on ipad.

    Any other free oscilloscope apps?

    OK, I stand corrected, not abandoned. Did they incorporate any editing? That's a real question, not a challenge. I'm not by my iPad right now so I can't check.

    Sentence of the week, easily.

    Three months ago, before blindly walking into this new obsession, I would have had no idea what this meant at all, or thought it was a MadLib.
    Two months ago, I would have laughed at the depth of geek fixation.
    Now? I'm like, Yeah, man! Where the hell are all the AB-compatible oscilloscopes??
