DM-1. It just keeps giving and giving.
iMonolith.
I feel I should mention Syntorial here. Yes, it's the most expensive app in all appland, but it's a weighty and engage-with-able course in subtractive synthesis and I do like learning. Really helpful if you're a frustrated roll your own type with an expensive hardware synth sat in the corner, glaring at you, unfulfilled. About 6 weeks in at this point, using it most days and I have to say we're very happy.
I'll repeat the praise for Syntorial. Outstanding (though I tend to use the desktop version for some reason).
Same here, although I suspect it has a wide variety of uses. I recently have started using the excellent responsive vertical pitching feature to get interesting results. How do you use Reslice?
Yes, I only recently discovered the long-tap submenu where you can fix it to semitones!
At first I was a bit put off by it's generative arp identity. I have issues where I need to feel that I'm using the iPad, rather than the other way around... So for a while there I was using it as a utility. I have a ton of samples locked up in the sound zoo that is iMaschine 2, and in the interests of liberation I'd find a kit that I liked, record all 16 hits in AudioShare, then slice it into pads in ReSlice and export them, ultimately to Dropbox. The original idea was to build up a respectable library in time for BeatMaker 3, plus use them in Gadget. Anywhere in fact. ReSlice was just a timesaver for me at this point, but after doing this for a while, I now had a pretty decent library within ReSlice itself, and it really opened up to me. It's AU (infinite drum kits), you can sequence it from anywhere, play the pads with any controller, individually pitch up/down, pan, reverse, tweak levels, envelopes and switch banks on the fly. Very respectable onboard effects and it plays well with everything. It's stable and useable in all of the AU hosts and I'm only using it to a fraction of its potential. Sky's the limit.
@tomato_juice yes! The arp is hiding a whole host of different use cases, I suspect. I rarely use the arp these days!
Well, I wouldn't say daily, but it doesn't get forgotten for long:

IPulsaret is my favourite iOS synth and i never see it mentioned anywhere, kind of my little secret weapon but its not getting updated as regular as other apeSoft apps so I wish it got some more attention.

I keep coming back to Roland Sound Canvas.
TwistedWave too: When you Really need to get some precise editing done TW comes through big and bright.
Definitely Quantiloop. It's by far my fav looper and keeps getting better and better. Input routing in the latest beta is rocking my world because I have a 4 ins audio interface and have a b**ch of a time getting many of my fav apps to not play sound out of one side default.
That's not even taking into account the fx hosting. QL is my best friend besides my Boss RC202 and doesn't get near enough ❤️
+1 to that!
Hokusai 2 - every time I record at home, and I always record my personal projects at home, I have to deal with an untreated room with plenty of residual noise. Enters Hokusai 2 and its very well thought noise reduction (which is not the same thing as noise gating) and I get nearly the same results as I get in my clients' studio rooms. I use it daily, extensively and just used it a few moments ago to clean up my latest song audio files.
Telepathy.
Thanks to many presets provided by some AB regulars, it provides lots of sonic weirdness.
How don't I use it? LOL
I love it for vocals and making beautifully unique main hooks for songs.
For instance, I do a pretty yet darkly ambient piano melody. I do a pad that suits it well. I actually at the tail end will add an acoustic guitar note or 2 and a a bass note.
I put them all together into 1 loop.
I do the same thing with drums and bass for songs.
I then "PLAY" Reslice as you mentioned with the pitch and other great FX included with it.
Its A MAZE ING.
No use for Gadget and Abu anymore for me.
I know its a fairly new app but I've for some odd reason been using, Moon Beam all the time. Weird. It has a very lofish sound to it. Crappy in a good way to me. Maybe it's because it's just so easy to use? I like it.
I use tonal energy by sonosaurus as a tuner. But I'm always impressed what else it could do. It's so powerful.
Probably my most used app. Best tuner I've ever used.
Auxy & Noise get very little love here, which is understandable given their walled-garden approach but I use both often to make loops for my Volca Sample.
Thanks for this, reloaded it and finally figured out how to get Modstep midi working with it...
My search turns up "Hokusai Audio Editor", but nothing called "Hokusai 2". are these the same?
Yes!
