Borderlands dropped to $3,99.

Just picked this up after a self-imposed moratorium on app buying and wow... This is a ridiculously powerful and unique app for the price of a (cheap) box of cereal. I just lost my weekend.

So that's it for the sales?

Did you grab Borderlands? I got it on sale for $4.99 a couple months ago but it's $3.99 now. Worth having. I picked up the FM4 synth some here like for $2.99 and like it as well.

If you've got some credit burning a hole in your pocket... they aren't on-sale but most of the Humbletunes apps are hidden gems IMHO. They're inexpensive like $2. Most are midi controllable, universal, and don't take up much space, very compact. The interfaces are deceptively minimal and a little cryptic, but if you spend time with them to figure them out you can get some very nice complexity out of them. And the dev seems to be on the ball with keeping them updated. His Frekvens app is AU now too, and many support link as well. I have all of them now. They're all good, but shapesynth and frekvens have had the most recent updates.

I did get borderlands. Very cool. Also FM4. But I had unrealistic hopes for Animoog and step poly arp. I know. Greedy.

Yeah, I was pining for Modstep, Takete & Moog 15. One can dream can't they?

Grab a couple of those Humbletunes apps for dirt cheap if you don't have them. They'll sate your thirst & if you spend a little time with them, you'll be glad you did.

AspectRatio

All SessionBand apps (and I assume IAPs) are 50% off for a limited time.

Just got a notification that Klimper dropped to 1.99

Klimper looks great not just for composing but learning, too. Like modes, inversions... Just bought it.

Reid

DM2 is $4.99 again. It went up to $7.99 after launch.

I use MC Oscilloscope. Works well. Also use their frequency analyzer. Works in AB.

I've used this successfully to craft some wave shapes using Filtatron that I wanted to import into Z3TA+.

I have a feeling the IAP for MIDI out is on sale, too (1.99)

ExAsperis99

Is Klimper much different from navichord?

Reid

@amusing_Grace Did the Klimper MIDI out used to be more? I don't remember.

I'm not 100% sure, but i think i read an article that stated the IAP costs 2.99

fjcblanco

Bought Borderlands...Hard to resist.

Goozoon

Any good video on Klimper?

FlightManual

Bought Klimper + MIDI out IAP for 4 dollars total. Since I have no understanding of chord progressions, it seems like this would be a great teaching tool. Now I have to settle down and actually teach myself. Wish it had MIDI in so I could learn to use my hardware better.

ExAsperis99

Holy cow. Buy Micro Tera before it's too late! Never met a synth preset that I couldn't turn to mud. I love it.

Reid

Finally bought the Klimper MIDI out and tried what I always wanted to try: outputting the inversions to a string app, in this case Sampletank. Enough to give you vertigo. Look at me mom! I'm Bernard Herrmann!

Fantastic! Now put that through Borderlands, quick!

Nicely done!

i mailed him a while agot, never got a reply

@Nathan Klimper only has a piano sound. As a sound source It's really only useful as a MIDI controller, and you get IAA/AB Through the apps it controls.

Agree about the need for sequences to keep up with the feature set of Suggester, which is overall the app of this nature with the most features. But I find different kinds of benefits from combining Klimper, Suggester, and Navichord. Even Chordpolypad and Chordbot.

skiphunt

Had considered Klimper & almost pulled the trigger until reading @Nathan saying you can't play the sequences?

I was under the impression that this app teaches & suggests chord progressions, then you drag/drop the chords onto a timeline, then you play the sequence that can midi play an external synth? That's not the case?

So you can't trigger the sequence based on the app's suggestion that you've just composed and you must play each chord manually? If so, I'll keep looking. Thanks for the info, but I think I'll pass for now.

Reid

@skiphunt Nathan is right--you can only get sounds out of Klimper if you push one of the buttons. And you can only have 10 chords in your progression, which you can save.

One of the things I use these programs for is chord voicings. When I'm putting together a chord progression on the guitar and piano, voicings are essential.

With Klimper, if you hold down the Inversion button and swipe a chord up and down, it will play you inversions up and down the scale. That's what I used in that little audio test I did above. It not only whips up and down through the chord voicings, it also show you the alternate names for the chords when they are voiced in different ways.

Suggester can play really nice guitar arpeggios and it's nice to have it play the progression. But I like the way Klimper gives me the names of the chords. That way I can go back to my guitar or piano and break out a chord chart.

They each have unique features so I find it useful to have both of them.

miguelmarcos

I bought Klimper and MIDI out yesterday. I like the app but I'm not getting it to behave well with Korg Module. Can someone else with both apps confirm if this is the case or if it's my setup?

Went and picked up Suggester's IAP (always good to have someone to blame) and hafta say I really like it. Yes, there are many variations on this theme, but I found the ease/speed/export into the usual suspects very pleasing... so thanks

Reid

Thanks @JohnnyGoodyear I bought Suggester years ago and wasn't very impressed by it. I put it away in a folder and never used it. Then, after somebody mentioned it on this forum, I reopened it and was stunned. It had been updated so many times that it was essentially a new app. I use it all the time now.

It has literally been updated over two dozen times and they are on version 4.0 now. It's a good buy because it will keep getting better.

Reid

I don't know if this counts as a Memorial Day offering, but Genome is now $5.99. Was $12.99

You're fast...Just making a new thread.
