I. Really. Like. This.
I could swear Phil Oakey was going to start singing there a few bars in....like it a lot....good stuff, especially considering how cold it must be there, the gloves and all
I've been so on the fence with this app all week. Maybe you can clarify something for me. From a couple other vids i seen, i dismissed it as one very cool single loop maker, but see here that it's quite capable of composition. So that answers one question. My other question is, are them notes sequenced, or they prefab loops?
Sequenced. It has a 'piano roll'. Very easy to use actually.
Thank you both
Yes, it's very easy to create a custom tune from scratch. The actual patches are preset-based, but very versatile, with quite a few parameters that can be adjusted and modified from the custom interface.
@Vecoto Seriously this is where I wanna get to with this amazing app!!! This is really the next generation Arranger Keyboard technology where you're not bound by pre made midi loops but where you can tweak in realtime and record or playback your arrangements all in realtime!!!
I wish we were able to share surfaces. Would love to see how you were able to build the one for this song.
I think the ability to 'share surfaces' would be good business for the dev. actually, foster community etc...
@MusicMan4Christ - Thanks! I laid it out in modules, so beats, bass, pads, lead, effects. Each sequence was kept simple but I enjoyed using the Fills and Groups to get parts evolving together in interesting ways.
@JohnnyGoodyear - I think the developers have the infrastructure to enable the sharing idea, since they have similar features in their other app, Noiz. I'm not too sure where each app is heading, but I'm very glad they've allowed full customisation of the interface with this one.
That's cool. Nicely done.
Hope so. Believe me though, I am looking at the ability for, say, me to send you a small file, rather than log on to some created/curated forum type place etc etc. Terrible people out there you know
Vecoto, please consider making a video of how you settled up your surface? I'd really like to know how those surfaces on the right hand side of he screen are setup. I love how you use them to build up your song as you go. This is exactly what I've been wanting to do and now this app has such awesome flexibility and so much more potential.
Very cool work, @Vecoto. For me, it brought to mind some kind of uptempo Tangerine Dream, like Daft Punk doing a "Logos" remix - thanks for sharing! I have a son with aspirations of being a DJ who I think might just dig this app quite a bit.
Does anyone know if the iPad version will be a separate app, or an update to the existing (on sale right now, I think) app?
It's universal samebfir iphone and ipad, if you buy iphone version you auto get the ipad version! At this price a no brainer!
Agreed. Def. more than the clever toy it might appear to be. And with a few things more to come I'm thinking/hoping...
Thanks, that's awesome ... time to follow the yellow app road
@MusicMan4Christ - I'm not sure I'll get around to making a tutorial video, but maybe this will help explain my workflow for it:
I created the Loops first, and arranged them into what felt like logical modules of beats, bass etc. I played around with these lots, deciding which combinations I particularly liked, going back and editing parts etc. until they sounded how I wanted them to.
Once I had a selection of Loops that I wanted to use together, I created a Group for them (that's what the tiles are on the right of my setup). I repeated this to create the different sections of my tune, and ultimately used them as the basis for my final arrangement, just triggering a few extra Loops and using the Fills, Dials and Morph controls to add variety as it played.
That's just one, quite linear, way of using this app.
Great app & expect it will be most excellent for live use once I've got a bit more of a handle on it & have finalised some 'surfaces'. Enough room for manoeuvre with the fx on each sound enabling some tailoring.
This one feels like all of those innovative UI's that we have variously seen before might at last be coming of age.
The only alas for me is that it's somewhat bound down atm, the addition of AB / IAA will enhance its productivity no end.
Alex is working hard at all of this! Can't wait!
+1
Thanks so much this helped a lot!
ah. was just going to post this here. very nice.
@eustressor - yeah I definitely think it's a great way of getting into electronic music production. It offers such a great blend of instantaneous fun, with real depth and originality too. The live performance aspect of it is super too.
@Redo1 @gav - thanks for checking it out. Glad you like it
I picked this up last night. It looks like a blast. As soon as I get a few pressing projects in the can, I look forward to just sitting down with this for a few hours of rabbit-hole exploration
You got talent my friend! I am looking to learn this app as soon as you. I've asked the dev to please make a tutorial on developing song structures in the same way you did your song.
yes the playground app and this one will be the new guard if they can get all of their ins/outs together... lets hope other devs take note, all of iOS would be better for it.
Yeah. Haven't quite figured out the grouping, but it has lots of possibilities...
Almost seems like a WYSWIG version of Lemur, MidiDesigner, etc – working with internal sounds only, of course. You create the control interface (via widgets) to your liking, which then triggers the music you compose. The fact that you can compose as you create the proper surface for said composition - that synchronicity IS the money shot, I think
Yep.
It's like designing your Midi controller as you compose your song.
Very, very cool actually.
I'm right now trying to get some custom sounds out of the synths. The LFO on pitch etc should enable some Volca keys like sounds I'm hoping.
I ended up reluctantly deleting Playground after it panned out to effectively be just another 're-mix' type affair, as with Ninja Jamm, no matter how spiffy the interface or great the samples, I don't have the storage or brain space to dedicate. Shame as the innovative interfaces are often great & bring their own originalities. Never tried Lemur, although it always looked interesting, bit expensive but apparently more open to original use. Remember Destroyer ? Don't think it's on the AppStore anymore, similar but less involved chop chop remixing affair fun, still have it on my first ipad.
