Oh my god just had a quick play about, chose a random preset(will I dream) and it sounded really good I got chills.. very happy right now. U sold me on that app and I'm glad lol
Very happy for you man! If you love pads, you gotta have this synth, you made a great decision, hope your girl isn´t too mad xD It´s loaded with presets, they´re great but most have a straight 90s vibe. KORG offer a great PDF manual, and it´s actually not hard to program with the great interface. Enjoy!
This synth gives me the GOOD chills as well, it´s just amazing. It is so deep, you can layer up to 32 sounds on top of each other with different velocity settings to get an expressive sound, and then crossfade with the stick. And that´s before sequencing. Like i said, it´s gonna make your head spin if you dive into this monster.
Yer just getting my head round the layout. The presets are awesome and love the 90s sound was brought up in the 90s. Definitely no regrets in the purchase. She's happy if I'm I'm happy lol and a same goes.
surely there are as many users who don't use an iOS daw as do , why did they decide to make it au only?
Perhaps there was less development time needed to create an AU only app and the developers are testing the waters to see if doing an AU only app significantly reduces their sales?
Me too, and i think that´s where the chills are coming from, because we´ve heard this thing a thousand times before, especially on soundtracks of movies/tv-shows
There are non DAW AUv3 hosts that are very popular, like AUM. A mixer that ties everything together, good if you use iPad as a sound module...
A very quick demo of a couple of Pad sounds which quickly got overtaken by watching the Godard movie at the same time etc. Happens.
Classy work there sir, what apps were used? The drums sound very convincing.
Nice track. May have to give this one a go can never have too many pad sounds
Wow, that's terrific. Is that an ehru? Beautiful melody, too.
Nice idea. Will give that a go.
FWIW, saving presets in AUM works fine.
Thank you Mister Foster. It really was a quick dab. All in Garage Band with Pads the AU, No mixing. Straight out into AudioShare and a fade at either end is all. Drums were Darcy's 'Dear Diary' set with a bit of fiddling about.
The GB Ehru indeed, little bit of reverb and that was it.
I did not do them any real service here, Got too cluttered up with other bits and bobs, but they worked well as an AU. Some nice sounds and would really benefit further by some judicious FX/EQ etc, especially under your talented supervision.
Ah okay, then we´ll have to wait for a Cubasis update, i guess, thx 4 the info
True story.
Personally I can't wait for the time that standalone is no longer a requirement. The standalone part typically takes three times (!) longer to make than the plugin itself. And it's mostly a ridiculous amount of redundant functionality, such as MIDI handling, audio engine management, IAA, audioshare, audiocopy, Link support, file sharing, virtual keyboards, velocity sensitivity, bluetooth support, scale locking, etc etc etc.
Basically, all that stuff that is already perfectly impemented in your AU host/DAW and which nobody wants to pay for, but complains about when it's not there. And which eats up precious CPU and memory in a multi-app setup.
I really believe in the future of AU as it's a win-win for everyone. I'm pretty sure the Klevgrnd guys are on the same page here so I applaud them for taking the AU-only route
Having said that: I do appreciate that on iOS there are as many workflows as there are users so I think for now doing standalone can still have its merits. But as iOS grows towards desktop level qualities (and let's be honest: most users around here have desktop-level expectations of iOS software) I think the plugin aspect will become more dominant very quickly.
Ah wondered what the lead sound was - very nice. Before that came in I was half expecting Paul Young to start singing "it's Christmas time..."
Lovely tune, it was worth buying the app just for that moment of inspiration.
I think it already works great from a marketing perspective. Customers (like me) love to buy things that fit well together, that don´t have redundant elements, for an attractive price. Your plugins are a great example of that.
Less development effort, lower price = everybody wins
I will be the wild-eyed man with a stick at your gate...
Agreed. The second part of the 'it's just a cup of coffee' equation for me is if I get half an hour of something going, after that it's all for free....
This is quite a big thing from my point of view. It seems like it'd be better value to have an app that does lots of things, but really, I don't want to have fifty apps that partially duplicate functionality in some way, over and over. That was one of the problems with linux - every program having its own file save or print functionality, etc.
So this app can't be used standalone?
Personally I'm quite happy that most apps are AUx only. Yeah it's quite helpful with some apps to use the full screen, but with many Sound Generator and FX apps, the AU format has way more benefits.
Just to add, I also find the AU format more reliable within hosts. I have not had one incident of swapping an AU app and it taking down the whole session. I cannot say the same for IAA.
Thanks for the perspective @brambos. All I really heard of AU up until now were technical limitations for accessing system resouces but being able to better focus development is a huge plus that never occured to me. Sounds like it could be a pretty fair trade off for some.
I'd like to know what video editor they've used to make it
It can be used as standalone, just not as IAA or AB.
Ah, I misunderstood. Whew, thanks!
Yes, AU has technical limitations, but it is in many ways also a proven system (which has existed on desktop for a decade) which works for many applications.
Standalone can have merits. But if it's just making another virtual keyboard with exactly the same features and requirements as the last 200 synths it's quite frankly a huge waste of precious time. People are going to have the same complaints and feature requests as the last 200 times. Better have someone make a solid AU host with a virtual keyboard that does it all (scale locking, arpeggiator, midi learn, bluetooth midi, file import/export, ableton link, etc.) and let plugin developers focus on making innovative synth+sound engines.
I have some stuff in the pipeline where the standalone part does add value on top of the plugin functionality, but I won't use a Klevgrand thread for that.
Back to the topic of lush Pads
Devil's advocate.
I love Klevgrand's apps, but still haven't bought any of the AU only instruments. They're like little gourmet deserts— sound great, but would only fit into a couple songs before sounding overused.
I can understand what they're doing, and it probably brings their work to income ratio more into line with their day jobs, but I'm not sure I'll want my AU list littered with very specialized AU instruments like these if everyone starts doing it.
