Do ChordPolyPad & StepPolyArp Ever Go On Sale?
I'm not in a great rush and these two apps are a bit pricey (only by iOS standards of course!) OTOH if they have never been on sale, then what the hell, I'll buy 'em now, albeit it would be nice if there was a discount in purchasing them both at the same time.
Comments
Occasionally, I use appshopper.com to track price drops and updates
Thank you, I'll have a look-see as I've been relying on http://thesoundtestroom.com/status/price-drop
Both essentials in the tool box.
Pay the piper. Each day you spend not using them is opportunity cost.
ChordPolyPad is my favorite tool for composing and even performing.
StepPolyArp is my favorite arp, closely followed by the fun Arpeggionome Pro by @Alexandernaut (Fugue Machine).
Try feeding CPP into the SPA.
I think they're great apps. And rock solid.
And get Arpeggionome for your iPhone, and pump it into BS-16i!
According to Appshopper no they have never gone on sale. Chordpolypad is one of my all time favorite iOS apps. Its universal and works great controlling midi over Bluetooth to Macs or iOS devices. iCloud backup means presets you create on one device are accessible on all devices.
As @johnfromberkely says pay the piper because it's not likely they will ever go on sale and they are worth every penny.
Life a series of inevitable opportunity costs, and even through non-choice the results are the same, all will be lost given time. On a more pleasant note, I do have Fugue Machine, Arpeggionome, and BS-16i and I may just flip a coin and let fate decide the pending purchase.
Fate's decision was to lighten my wallet, whether that's a victory over opportunity costs or one for creativity is an open question, however it's a clear victory for consumerism, of which I am its acquiescent cog. Thank you one and all and I bid you good evening!
If you don't want to feel guilty to pay for them, just consider actual price is the 'intro' price that never grew up.
they're both essential, like Audiobus-level essential, if that helps
If you make half a thing with either or find two bits that make a piece of half thing that might one day either get to be a thing or even just be remembered fondly for the making you are already far ahead of regular consuming.
Like, you use them nearly every session? Wish I could se a video that illustrated the breadth of these apps.
I mean, this video shows how cool it is, but I feel like every song I'd make would sound like Nitzer Ebb or Suicide. (Not that there's ANYTHING wrong with that, of course....)
I use CPP all the time but almost never like the end result. I'm biased against chords cuz my guitar playing is a single-note-at-a-time affair & it maybe has generally ruined my ear(s).
Never quite understood the whole “will this 15 dollar thing ever go on sale” line of thinking. Of course, I come from the days when a decent four track cassette recorder was 600 bucks used. Not judging, please understand. I do fully get that everyone's view of economy is relative to their own existence, but I think these two apps are particularly inexpensive as they are.
Let me explain that a little more, though. I will confess to not using SPA not nearly as much as CPA. I learned to play music originally on the piano. As a result, for better or worse, my songs start out as chord progressions in my head. CPA let's me pluck through those rather quickly when paired with Thumbjam's various instruments. I can choose my base chord, then easily pick from existing chord progressions or create my own with my own little uniqueness. It's dead simple to manipulate a chord once you get it into a slot and make it your own. It's a must have tool for me that I absolutely couldn't see living without. I kick the dev the extra bones for SPA (which I bought first admittedly) just for the sheer joy I get from CPA. To me, it's cheap.
Again, please understand I mean no disrespect at all. I'm slowly starting to accept the fact that I am actually old and that this music gig was far more expensive when I started out.
Here's the thing. They ARE inexpensive, I guess, compared to a Tascam Portastudio in 1980. But if I don't use them? They're $25 thrown away.
I have Navichord; it's fine, I guess. Not particularly fun to use. Might CPA be better? Maybe. But I'd also like to have a go at iElectribe and Egoist. That's $50 right there. It starts to add up.
Welcome to Appaholia.
It's real, man! I had a couple of drinks last night and was appalled by the news out of Baton Rouge... so I bought Laplace. IN ANGER. That was a first.
Is there any way in ChordPolyPad to put the piano keyboard "in scale" for a key you choose, similar to Modstep or Gadget, or is it only chromatic? Really considering getting it, and definitely will if it has this feature. It makes it much easier to use an on screen keyboard.
I'm 60 and was a working live gigging musician before MIDI existed, just me, an acoustic guitar and a simple PA with zero effects. Over the years as tech improved, my solo act became pretty complete with guitar synth, keyboards, vocal harmonizer, backing tracks, lights, etc. however I have not played live for income for eight years now (the preoccupation of life I suppose).
Hell yes I'm flabbergasted at how far $20 can go in the world of iOS, but on a somewhat related note, if I add up the cost of all the high-tech toys I've purchased over the last decade (including a quite sizeable batch of recent apps) and ask myself whether I've been more musical because of all these high-tech toys, or whether they have simply been an interesting but quite costly diversion, I'm not certain I'd want to be looking in the mirror when I posed that question!
There is no doubt whatsoever that all my recent app purchases have provided the potential for spectacular musicality, but as to whether I'm up to the task is another question altogether.
I fully understand those poster's comments as to the mind boggling capabilities and value iOS represents when compared to the 1970's, 1980's, 1990's etc. but I'm still inclined to seek the best price as I would with most purchases most of the time.
I pretty much Use step poly ARP all the time to generate melodies based on the chord progression I'm using. I like that you can program melodies that are actually based on the chords. The fact that it has ableton link makes it totally worth it.
Chord poly pad however.... Not really seeing a use for it myself. I just use suggester to create chord progressions that I import into modstep that I feed into appregiators like thumbjam and step poly ARP (for 5 different Arps!
)
I'd use step poly ARP on the PC too if I didn't own Cthulhu. Heck. I wish Cthulhu would release on iOS with 8 Arps. That would be amazing
