Fluxpad Pricedrop
Pricedrop from $7.99 to $5.99
Just 10 days in the app store and already a pricedrop. Not a good sign. Are the devs in panic?

Aw man
that's not cool. I got it like the day it came out at full price. Wahhh.
Yeah, but you got like two weeks to be a bragging early adopter! EASILY worth two bucks.
I never got around to buying it, so I did!
I don't regret getting it before the sale.I enjoy the app. If the sale gets more people to try it that's great.
I enjoy the app, but a price drop that quick feels a bit like a face slap.
I'm glad I bought it, too.
One of my friends said, "I haven't gotten anything musical out of it." I think it depends on your definition of music, but I, too, have had a hard time creating something I can build on.
I've tried experimenting with scales and pitching, but I don't know how to set the root. Part of the problem is fuxpad's strength: variable pitch.
Shoom is an example of an app that sounds like noise, but can in fact be very musical.
Well just think about the poor folks who jumped on SambaPad at $149! When the decimal error is discovered and it starts selling for $1.49? Woof. THAT's a face slap!
Curious how much of that app are sold. Probably zero
Personally, I think they should've gone the other way, ie. launch price of $5.99 and then up to $7.99.
I haven't got much musicality out of it either, but I think it was @MonzoPro who described sort of playing fluxpad along with and linked to blocs wave. I tried that and got much more acceptable results. Fun too.
I'm pretty sure there's a specific reliance on melody and harmony, when the term "musical" is applied, that's not open to interpretation. If something is a rapid-fire glitchfest, or a Thurston Moore-esque spuzz freakout, that may be to your preferred taste, but to call it "musical" would be an incorrect use of the term, by common usage standards. It's actually a term used to distinguish between something like "Yesterday" and "Revolution 9".
I could be wrong.
Anyway, FluXpad is really best suited as a rhythm tool, IMHO. There's a place for it in my arsenal, but you can't get butter from a grape.
One thing i find is if you go out and record a couple minutes of walking around (particularly in a city) just recording whatever random sounds happen, without editing, then listen to it over and over, it becomes musical.
It's a good fun app, and yeah works well with Blocs.
I agree, a rise after a week would be a nice gesture for early adopters/bug reporters. The other way around feels like they got the price wrong, and then dropped it.
Weird. I'm not crying over the extra two quid, or angry or anything, and it's worth the right quid or whatever I paid, but it's just odd when they do this - Skram, Auxy and a few others went free after I'd paid for them. Makes me feel I need to wait a bit when new apps come out now.
@Icepulse I found the longer I played the more musical my sketches became. I've even pasted in a piano sound from Module and created some very melodic (not random) pieces. Locking to a key scale and using quantize I can even create chords - unexpected.
FluXPad also responds well to taps on the grid lines not just flicks and lines.
BUT the dev needs to sort the crashing because it is bad. I only stick with it because I paid for it and I like it
Actually, this is exactly what I would expect. How do you set the root note? Also, I would love to see more scales.

Quantize: record your drawings in quantized mode (dotted circle). Press long to change quantization.
L
Note/pitch Range: Set your note range for your drawings. You can also limit your note range to major or minor note scales.
Damn you!
You probably also seen where you can drag the low and high guide lines. Here you can also drag your chosen range up or down to try in different keys - pretty cool.
To be honest, I'd never heard of it prior, but the expression was likewise unknown to me, so I had to google, heh
Just read elsewhere FluXpad is 25% off for one week to celebrate release of Ableton desktop.
I will be getting this tonight, meaning to grab it but just hadn't got round to it yet. Talking of faces slaps.. What about the people who bought different drummer for $300
talk about face slaps, what about people who bought all of a devs drum apps and can't get some freakin audio export?
I agree!
@mireko_2 yes, think I paid about £50 for DD but I don't get hung up over price
Fuck lol on a train.. Good one
Interesting discussion here about an app that seems to have a pricedrop just after 10 days it came out. First off, I didn't buy Fluxpad, it's not the type of app I'm after. That said I still have a clear opinion about this type of practice. I think it's disrespectful to the first minute buyers. I saw there's a whole thread about this app and users amongst others reported bugs. It looks to me that those first buyers are used as free beta testers and have had to pay extra for it. Seems the biggest bugs are fixed now with fast updates and as a reward new users that didn't participate in this process get it 2.00 cheaper.
I think this is not a clever way to deal with your first minute and probably more supportive users, especially when you want to be taken serious as a developer. Next time you launch an app quite a few will just wait for the soon to come pricedrop. I cannot agree more with @skiphunt launch price should have been 5.99 and now up to 7.99 in that case you reward the first minute buyers that come up with bugs and suggestions.
Which release ?
Refers to Ableton link for desktop apps... https://www.ableton.com/en/blog/link-now-available-for-desktop-apps/
You can always find an excuse reason to justify a pricedrop. Sorry, I think this is really too easy for an app that's only 10 days in the appstore. This argument doesn't convince me. Besides that Ableton is a different company. The only thing is that Fluxpad has Ableton LINK as do nearly 100 other iOS apps of which hardly any was dropped in price for this occasion.
To be clear. Of course the dev of Fluxpad can do what s/he wants with the app. The only point I want to make is that I think this high speed pricedrop behaviour is just not very trustful and clever.
