Yes I do- and you are right it was a bit petulant. My irritation goes back to previous Novation threads- they announced that they were 'on the bus'. Then were generally absent from it- only to make an appearance occasionally- usually when they had something to sell. This is after they dismantled and stopped their own user forum on the pretext that forums were 'old hat'- and everyone should use Facebook instead. Following this when they did pitch up- there was a tendency to ignore the same queries raised by several people- but reply to some posts which appeared later- without getting back. I know that the creators of this are not Novation- but they are directly related I believe. So my approach was intended to short circuit this process from perhaps repeating itself -albeit a trifle rude, presumptuous and impetuous-for which I apologise
It's literally the same team that made blocs and launchpad. So your concern is warranted. I myself have cooled off a bit though. The app is pretty fun to play with. Will have to see if it becomes a must have at some point. Will wait and see for now.
I really like the sounds on this, although it is a LOT like Auxy, no, but without the song/loop feature. Better sounds, probably, and with keyboard input.
(I must tell you Blocs/Novation folks, though: I HATE the new project naming convention. Do I hit the plus-sign? And then...typing? And then I have deleted my track. Sigh.
But that's small beer. )
I do wish I had a sense of what the future for the app held. Are there tons of synth modules coming? Sample import? It's fun, anyway.
I would imagine regular (perhaps weekly) preset IAPs and occasionally (every 3 to 6 months) a new synth module IAP. And, hopefully (eventually) a way of importing user samples.
As someone who works in a company that creates both software and hardware, just to put some perspective to this...
There are more cogs in the wheel than just one guy monitoring a forum. Anyone committing the company to any product features or development timeline not only would be pulling such info out of his ass, but would also have a new orifice ripped in said body part by marketing, management, development. Especially on the first day of release?
I'm not taking anyone to task, just trying to point out that stuff like this is more involved than people probably realize. The fact that a company rep. is even listening is to be applauded. The fact that the developer's company hasn't delivered consistently in the past is worthy to be pointed out. But to think that any company representative would be willing or empowered to commit on a public forum to something like that is unrealistic.
We get spoiled by having access to small shops and amazingly responsive developers. That's the exception rather than the rule with software development.
Please - no offense intended - I'm just trying to add perspective.
And also let's not forget that it is free if you want it to be....although iaps and packs will fund further development of features and modules.
They have already committed on here to adding MIDI IN so give them and the app a chance....
I hearz yah, I work on a 25 person mobile app team. BUT music apps are simply easier...
I see the global mixer on the iPad, but where is it hidden on the iPhone?
I like it so far... kinda makes me think this is what Skram might've eventually evolved into had it not been abandoned.
There's no global mixer on iPhone. On iPhone you open up the individual instrument instance, and tap on the universal volume icon in the upper right to adjust that instance's volume.
Oh good. I thought of that but didn't figure the volume levels would effect the export mix, but it does indeed. Works for me. thx!
Could you please add a global randomizer bottom or one for each instrument? Great sounding App DEV, thank you for listening and taking notes for our feature wish list requests.
@AmpifyxNovation
Transpose up/down 1 octave
For BOTH BlocsWave and GroveBox
Pretty please
A lot of fun. Bought everything available because I'm far from home and what the hell etc. And because of the dev's work and responsiveness with Blocs.
For the record that may or may not be being kept the thing that would take this over the big hill (for me) more than any other single feature:
Automation
Hate to ask this but, you know, erm, panning?
Edit: OOPS. Found it. Under the 'wave form' tab....all good.
Why is there two pitch controllers in the drum section? (I haven't bought the packs yet)
I really like the way the free pitch control button indicates it is back to zero.
I do like the sound of this app. Very intuitive to use as well. I wish synthq had been more like this.
Next: Would really, REALLY like the ability to save altered presets. The amount of very nice editing one can do from any starting point really showcases the quality (of the synth especially), but not being able to save them 'as new' undermines the IAP I think.
Pleased to hear sections in/of some form is on the docket. The ease of getting into a groove (ha!) with this thing beg to be able to keep developing/writing your song. We're all guilty of writing too many 8 or 16 bar loops of lovely but not taking them anywhere. Yes, I can/could export to Blocs (and perhaps that's how the devs would like us to be steered), but this is too good in some aspects to slow down.
I can see this having Beathawk's song mode???? Please do look at BH's song mode it's so far one of the best!!!
Yeah the synths sound REALLY GOOD.
1. Sections/song mode. Please different sounds per section.
2. Automation
3. User synth presets
One , in the drum box section is for the whole kit, the other in the sound section is for the individual drum.
Finally got a chance to give this a go, and I'm really liking it. Some great sounds, and it's certainly easy to get something happening with enough depth that it doesn't feel like just a preset machine. For me the only real issues are with the sequencer. I have a heck of a time changing note length for some reason, it's really hit or miss for me if the note will actually lengthen or just delete by mistake. Also, I wish there was a way to zoom out the note grid for more than one measure as well as vertically. Would make it easier to navigate and see where all my notes are in longer patterns. Finally, I'd love to see a way to make the "keys" bigger besides changing the scale mode to 3 or 5 notes instead of 7. Fat fingers I guess.
Cool app though. Waiting to see if there's a "buy all IAP" option before I hand over my cash, but I'll definitely be investing in this one either way.
Ok got Gb and Navichord together in AB3 but when I hit play why don't they start Exactly at the same time???
Sometimes they do and sometimes no why???
Btw, using Navi's internal sounds.
Oh I'm also using a chord progression in Navichord. @Navichord any ideas???
Song mode would be my main request
actually pretty disgusting how entitled the scene here is getting. Here's an idea people, try programming your own basic drum machine with 2 embedded samples and a sequencer.. the most basic app you could make. Let me know how long it takes you.
That little poly synth sure can make a huge variety of sounds. That's an IAP I can recommend wholeheartedly. Great synth
Sure, peeps want features to be added. I want features to be added, and I'm sure they will be. But what is beginning to irritate are the comments denigrating the app because it is not yet everything it will become.
This combined with launchpad app with import for the win. More fun than any I've had in awhile! I purchased the launchpad sample import to use with this in fact and wow what a combination! I just have to name my stuff better for importing to launchpad. Key and Bpm with each I think. The two together adds the great cliplaunch feature to this!
Guys got it to work nicely now but I had to disable Ableton Link in Navichord. Anyone know why his happens?
Chiming in with Johnny on the need for preset saving being needed badly .
Who said they're 'entitled'? From what I've read there's a few (me included) who have praised the app for it's design and features but say it's not for us, as it's bringing nothing new (for us) to the table. Then there's another bunch who've bought the app and suggested improvements: patch saving, MIDI out etc.
Let's hope this doesn't turn into another one of those threads where a minority start making personal attacks against those with a different opinion, or who take the time to suggest improvements.
The beauty of this forum is that we get to hear a range of opinions on new app releases, and so can make an informed judgement on whether to buy or not. A biased pile of pumped-up Prozac-fuelled sycophantic praise and dissent hating benefits no-one, including the developers.
