Korg odyssey ?

SpookyZoo

Ha. Guess I did this too late. Wish I'd come here first rather than knob twiddlin'

Still, might be nice as a visual? I Can use that list for the other page

For me it is worth it; KORG has really hit something special with Gadget and the associated apps, Module and iM1, of which I own both (don't have their other synths tho); So, with a high quality synth-of-my-dreams emulation available for both my pad and phone, in or out of Gadget, $20 seems like a huge bargain.

Agreed Just wish iM1 was on iPhone too, so that's the only one I didn't buy yet. In the meantime I'm bugging everyone that has it to find out if there's some way to make patches on iPad and copy them to Darwin on iPhone? Can't find any evidence in the documentation, but hoping it's an undocumented secret hand shake of some sort...

oh great to be honest this is more useful. I prefer the visual approach too.

Definitely worth it at the sale price, which goes to the end of the month I believe. It feels and sounds unique compared to other synth apps for iOS, and I've tried the majority of them. I'd stay away from the IAPs though, not worth it to me.

@SpookyZoo nice work thanks

I'm hoping Korg will fix the preset issue eventually. iM1 can transfer presets so they'll probably make it happen.

I want them to publish the midi CC list. I did tweet them so will wait and see.

Have you been able to transfer presets from iM1 on iPad to Darwin on iPhone?

I don't have an IPhone to try (yet)

how would you describe the sounds in the iap?

SpookyZoo

Looks like there's a few differences between stand alone and Lexington CCS (Delay time L/R)

Sorry, hadn't seen your list before posting. Didn't see this info in Standalone app either. Looks like a couple of small differences between the gadget version.

No but i was thinking that would have been nice too.> @kobamoto said:

(Not that you asked me specificly but) more of the same but for a synth newb like me it is worth it for jumping off points.

thanks, I think randomizers should be in everything, no matter what kind of app. the synth sounds good though, still have some time to think about it cause i don't really need it

Like most gadgets i bought it and went straight back to what i was doing, knowing i probably wont use it too much for quite a while. If it had a randomizer as good as addictive pro i would likely still be plunking on it. Dayum this Elastic Drums sampler has me so hooked!

@SpookyZoo Nice penmanship there skipper. Good work....

I thought I didn't need it, after all I have nearly every iOS synth on the planet already, but glad I got it. It makes a lot of bread and butter synth noises sound better - full sounding leads, arps and basses, via a UI that is easier to use than say Addictive Pro or Moog 15.

But it really comes into its own in Gadget. I did a track last night and kept swapping other synths for this one, as it really has the edge.

I could have got by with say iPolysix or Thor - but this sounds better. Or used sounds from Moog 15 or TC-11 - but this is easier to program, and comes with very useful presets.

I didn't need it, but I reckon I'll make better music now I have it. Probably the opposite really - now I have it I don't need a lot of the other synths on my iPad.

** Very strange quirk for the LFO midi CC **

Key Sync (22) & Tempo Sync (23) Stay constant.

But the midi CC for LFO Freq changes depending on the On/Off state of Tempo Sync(23)

Tempo Sync OFF - LFO FREQ = midi CC# 20
Tempo Sync ON - LFO FREQ = midi CC# 21

Also, switching the on/off state of Tempo Sync will move the LFO Freq slider between the 2 different values it has for those states.

wtf?

How do I set my midi controller up for that! Lol

This is worth watching. Guy from Orbital giving his thoughts on the qualities of the Arp - with some demo sounds

Matt_Fletcher_2000

If you make a page in TB Midi Stuff controlling all the ccs - then you can use TB's 'randomise all values' to give you a randomiser.

You can also improve on the randomiser by picking certain values not to randomise (eg output volume). Or even choose to just randomise a small sub-set of values.

At some point I'll set this up I think. It's time consuming but very easy.

My wife was in stitches about the 'tight bottom end'

AndyPlankton

I dived in...just noodled with the presets for about an hour, sounds really nice, it will be interesting to see how my mini2 performs when I start trying to use it alongside launchpad and blocs wave.
All I can say for now is I just can't get enough bread, butter and brass

Viking AU does that but AUM lets you map two parameters to one knob for AU's, which solves it.

I'm going to have to write some custom code to get my BCR2000 to send two values on one knob... uhg.

No difference in the Delay time... there are two different CC's for each slider depending on if tempo sync is on or off (113, 114, 115, 116).

There is a new param you found here that isn't in Gadget, Arpeggiator off/on/latch Man, I wish those 16 arpeggiator sliders were controllable (like on Moog Model 15). Looks like they ran out of CC numbers!

Yeah. Shame there isn't a cash in the old ones exchange kind of deal....

I thought that when I bought Addictive Pro, that I didn't need some of the other Virsyn ones. Still I've had my money's worth, and it's good to keep feeding the development furnaces with money.

Probably too early to say if it'll become my go-to synth in standalone mode (though looking likely), but for Gadget use this one will get fired up every time, and for that it's worth the spondulax.

oat_phipps

It sounds great, and I'm glad to have an iOS version. However, it makes me happy I chose the Minilogue over the hardware unit. I love hardware analog synths, and this has a great look to it, but there's something offputting about programming on it.

Ah ok, much like I noticed with my LFO Freq post above.

Thanks. Good to know.

Great, thanks.

For controlling the number of steps by midi CC via a button...

• Low value is 4 (1 step)
• Increments/ step value of 8
• High value is 123 (16 steps)

Unfortunately by controlling this way, the number of steps overlay is not displayed.

Hopefully useful info for some though.

Carnbot

nice to see the official cc chart, now apps also been updated too with bug fixes

[Deleted User]

Oddly, the update changed one of my own sounds in the standalone version. Sorted it, but Oddy none the less
