    Two minds.

    A morsel of madness to whet the appetite would be most welcome.

    Did you get it? I could see this working well for noisemeisters such as ourselves.

    Not yet, I think we're all waiting for enlightenment.

    Hold Virsyn apps in very high regard and would be a good fit for the vocal ideas I want to explore..

    Oh dear.

    I'd like to see more vids, particularly the multi-band shifting - I get the feeling that could be a lot of fun, but they make some of my favourite apps so resistance is futile.

    I fear you may be right. Love all their apps but oddly rarely record with them, yet..

    I use Addictive Pro quite a lot, and I had a mad spree with Reslice when it came out. You can do a bit of pitch shifting on that one.

    Yeah I was more impressed with reslicer than I expected to be. It's just been a bit bonkers lately with all the quality new apps that have been released.

    I know what you mean. I put a simple Patterning drum loop through a couple of fx in Turnado earlier and got lost for an hour in the incredible sounds it was making. I though to myself I could just do this, I don't need anything else. With AUM, Reslice, KRFT, Blocs etc. there's almost no limit now to what we can do...and that's without thinking about the Gadget update. I'm feeling slightly overwhelmed with the possibilities at the moment - probably why I've only bought two apps so far this year. This new one is definitely something I'll use, but with so many other amazing apps available now it's trying to fit it all in.

    It's inevitable that I'll get it though.

  • JocphoneJocphone

    Think VirSyn's strapline should be "it's your destiny".

    I know what you mean, was in lockdown for the last six months or more but have picked up a few things lately, just because..

    Can see Gadget returning to the top table now. Can see the audio additions alongside gadgets simple workflow really helping to make experimenting with quick ideas a lot of fun.

    @Jocphone @MonzoPro I think it's does some things in a way (and a sound) that others may not achieve so easily. Like it. Still bummed that I can't automate the AU in AP....

    I think I can probably do a bit of this in Turnado, but it's too fiddly so I'll most likely get this one later for a Friday night treat.

    I was curious about this aspect too. I like to record the interaction with sound on the fly while playing in AUM. Mostly twisting up parameters. I have another one that's kinda fun and a big xy pad that you can load up called Vio, but it's not the same as this, a little flaky, and I doesn't appear to be supported anymore.

    To be honest, I've only used Turnado in Auria Pro, but I just had a play using it as an effect with 4 xy pads to control during play/record. I liked it and didn't find it all that fiddly in action. Maybe in editing the parameter details a bit, but not too bad.

    Will be curious if you decide to get this one, how you think it compares in action compared to what you can already do with Turnado's xy live fx interaction.

    I'll have a go with Turnado later, just to make sure I'm not doubling up - this one definitely has some unique features though - being able to shift multiple frequencies is very cool. Think I'll most likely get it, very much my cup of madness.

    Yeah, I like this somewhat, but it does feel a bit redundant on the surface, but not quite. The demo video turned me off to be honest, but I can see using this with radical changes, only happening very slowly instead of quickly as they are in the demo video.

    In the video, it looks like he's only using one xy pad at a time. Can anyone confirm if you can play both xy pads at the same time?

    As I've stated before, I'm personally trying to be less trigger-happy with my new app purchases (no offense to those purchasing with joyous unbridled wild abandon) ;) and at least answer the questions "will I still be using this 2 weeks from now?" and "Is this redundant with something else I already have."

    I've only bought two apps so far this year, I think I need to up my game a bit.

    I like the idea of loading up an existing track, and running it through the multiple band frequency shifter for complete madness.

    $6.99 isn't a bad Friday night/weekend mad-money fun-time expenditure. ;)

    Will ping ya back after the initial new purchase dopamine rush subsides a little. My guess is that the controls and layout, though likely somewhat redundant, will be more "fun" in practice.

    Been trying to get a similar effect from Turnado and drawn a blank - though again I'm completely blown away by how good Turnado is. Note to self - use this more.

    So this seems to be pretty unique, and a likely candidate for the Monzo toy box.

    I played with Turnado, WOW, Vio, and a couple others... basically anything o have that I could mangle stuff with an xy. Turnado was the most satisfying in this regard. But, nothing was the same as this. Though, I can easily automate everything in Turnado & WOW in Auria Pro.

    I'm going to still hold back though. Not sure how much I'd actually use this.

    Which is precisely why i haven't bought it yet. They promised we would get it in AudioEffx and just didn't do anything. its been months with still no update there. So till they actually open the parameters to automation i'll stay on the fence :/

    I get the best results in Turnado by just using one or two effects, and tweaking the parameters manually - tends to go mad if you use all the pads.

    It's a tricky one - I'm not sure if this will be a five minute wonder, or be used massively on my stuff. I whip out Frekvens all the time though (which is a bit similar), so I'm guessing the latter.

    I'm definitely getting it later though, Mrs Monzo spent a fortune at the hairdressers this morning so it's my turn for a treat. As soon as I can wrestle the iPad from Monzo Jnr's marathon Minecraft session...

    I've only just started playing with Turnado last night via IAA and using the xy pads. As I mentioned, before I'd only used it in Auria Pro with a few parameters automated. I liked what I was getting with Turnado's manual xy play, but hadn't thought of limiting fx in an attempt to tame somewhat. Good idea. Will have a replay later and explore others to make sure this one isn't too close to redundant.

    I think it may be different enough, but not sure at the moment. Gotta go enjoy some Spring weather though first :)

    To be honest though... I'm not a huge fan of the general sound I get form any Virsyn app. I know that's sacrilege... but it's always sort of cold/metallic sounding to me. All of them make very interesting sounds, but I need to see how warming them up with my recent purchase of PSP microwarmer does on them before buying another one.

    No I agree, they can be a bit tinny and cold sounding, and this seems to suffer from the same based on the preview vid. Addictive Pro is warmer though, and their later apps have EQ built in so you can tweak them a bit.

    Ok, so I thought maybe it's my turn to go first. First play with it, wasn't impressed at all. Thoughts along the lines of it just being a graphic eq with a bit of pitch shifting were at the forefront of my mind.

    Went away for a bit and I'm warming to it. It's not like anything I have or thought I wanted but it is quite an unusual thing. You need to feed it a signal with a wide frequency range and it often outputs a much lower signal due to the filtering but it imparts quite a change in atmosphere to your material.

    I found myself having jump between panels quite a lot and it could do with a way to see the levels on other tabs so that you can marry up changes to the same channels more easily.

    Would I recommend it? A definite maybe, especially if someone was into subtly evolving drones and pedal notes, mucking up your whole sound on the fly.

    Will I find a use for it? Most definitely

    Hope that helps someone.

    Have you done much with the multi-band thing? I liked the way he made the input track sound completely bonkers by changing the pitch of individual bands.

    Played it by piping blocs wave through it but unfortunately the media player in standalone doesn't want to load any media in so I couldn't test it on a massive range of music styles. For me it seems to have more value as an extreme graphic equaliser. Dunno, need to play with it more.

    I've managed to stay distracted enough. Decided Gadget isn't really for me. And, I can wait a little longer on LayR.

    Stayed distracted because I thought I'd fixed a check engine light issue on my car a week ago that's plagued me for 6 years +. I've been to 3 different mechanics, paid them, then light comes back on after a month and they say "Oh well, must be something else then.." ARGHHH...

    Long story short, I decided that if I could dive in and figure out how modulars and such work, then maybe I could take a stab at figuring out my own car puzzle. I think I've got it narrowed to a coolant temp sensor, and it just arrived.

    I'm goin' in, cover me. ;)

    I like to create evolving drones and pad stuff as a sound bed for other weirdness going on at the same time, but would like to be able to mess around with the drones/pads to have more variety while recording the whole thing, and this app seems like it might be a good tool for that. Going to play with Turnado again tonight. I'm not convinced that this app isn't a little redundant.

    Good luck with the mechanics. I live out in the semi-rural wilderness and in the 10 years I've been here I have learned much from scratch about fixing and maintaining stuff. It's very satisfying not to have to "get a man in" to do it.

    The 1971 MGB still needs some TLC though ...

    It's a nice change from wangling with technology ... Great to do something physical once in a while.

    I'm curious to hear what this could do as an AU for a stereo drum track in AUM - with a touch of mid/side to boot. In fact, that sounds like a great use case scenario for folks who like stereo track drum machines in iOS, but miss being able to mix stems :sunglasses:

    @Jocphone @MonzoPro I think it's does some things in a way (and a sound) that others may not achieve so easily. Like it. Still bummed that I can't automate the AU in AP....

    Yes, not having the AU MIDI parameters exposed is a big let down and limits its utility.

    does the app import audio or is it live audio only

    Live audio or use in FX chain to process existing audio files in such as AudioShare.

    In case anyone is on the fence and was reading my review, I decided to get a refund for BandShift. I think in the end it felt more like a trick than something I could use musically. It's not something I do often and not something I expected to do for a Virsyn app as I have many of their other apps and really rate all of them.

    Ah right. Still on the fence here but was thinking of buying today. Hesitating due to what you've said really - not sure how much use I'd give it once I'd had a few muckabouts. I can pitch shift audio already via Audiostretch, but that doesn't have a live feed-in, and Frekvens does a bit of the frequency stuff.

    I'm still tempted but £8 is a bit much for a five minute punt. Did you record anything with it we can hear? I would have thought this would be right up your street.

    Sorry Monzo, didn't get that far. I think there is a nice idea in BandShift but the implementation isn't quite there. It somehow didn't fit together in a way that made something great. Shame really.

    @Jocphone @MonzoPro what we do know of course is that all apps do not suit everyone's tastes but that doesn't necessarily make them bad apps. Having spent some time to master BandShift I now appreciate (and enjoy) what it adds to my audio tool set. I think this is one of those apps that appears to do very little but once you get to know it then it is capable of so much - sound mangling, frequency isolating, detuning to name a few. I think someone else mentioned it hooks up really well with MIDI LFOs and that is true when you control the XY pads with MIDI learn. For me - awesome :)

    Agree completely Trueyorky. The graphic equalizer is great and hugely useful, the pitch effect is difficult to do anything musical with (for me) and I found the switching between each view with no indication of the channels in other tabs made it all feel like flail your arms around and see what it sounds like. Fun for a while but the things I did achieve I didn't think worth the outlay (again, for me). Overall it is a quality app but I felt the UI needed a rethink. Also, I could never get the media player to work in standalone.

    Think I'll stay on the fence a bit longer. Need to see/hear more examples before I fall off.
