I am sure there is an internal tension between creative ideas and business strategies with Gadget. Supporting AUV3 would certainly destroy the Gadget business model. Really, there were no AudioUnits on iOS when the whole Gadget operation was conceived and they did a baller job making a run at their own deal, so hats off to Korg. Clearly they do not feel the need for AUV3 from a biz strategy. Easy to use cost effective nostalgia expansions are clearly their strongest card. They probably just ran out of their own and now need to do other companies, lol, so yah you are probably right in a sense haha.
For me Gadget is a fine stem exporter/groovebox with a few useful Gadgets. I don't see it becoming a great all in one daw-ish type thing (ie. gamechanger) until they lose their footing financially with it and have to reconfigure their whole business model. The only area i think they could expand and exploit without choking off Uncle Money would simply be a routing system/fx but that would still keep it in the groovebox export camp, which for me will never be a game changer. Plenty of sound maker stuff on ios, I'm good thanks.
The only game changer for me to come on iOS now would be a kick ass multitrack audio editor. Lots of slicing, cutting, copy pasting / mixing of stems and imported audio tracks. All the per clip pitchshifting/time stretching / reversing, EQing etc I could ask for. Nothing on iOS comes remotely close to what I feel is the baseline for that world.
Not having that on iOS has made me focus more on getting things working on the fly which is a nice side effect however it would still take tracks to the next level. iOS is so insanely good (from a CPU perspective) of processing raw audio too. If you work with just audio and fx, without synths etc it is amazing how much it can handle. Just need a good timeline based multitrack editor dammit (takes broken record off turntable).
@AudioGus I fully agree on the Korg analysis and the lack of an editor.
I would just like to see existing apps fulfill their potential and listen to user feedback.
GR-16 is not deserving of your criticism IMO. It has been continuously updated in response to user feedback. It’s probably the best example of this on iOS.
Well this audio/midi channel strip ableton style ive been dreaming about, but synth one auv3 will be amazing also maybe loopy masterpiece modstep 2, iam still looking for a ableton workflow, modstep is close but i want audio clips also
I'm wondering if Doug from SoundTestRoom will be jumping in to chuckle at all this non-NDA crying, wishing and hoping.
That’s the question, is this the release @thesoundtestroom was teasing?
gamechangers for me as follows:
Reason on iOS...or at least audio units of the better stuff.
A file system that works with everything properly with a search function.
Izotope plug ins
A sound warping sampler with full on elastique capabilities and mad synth features...along with spectral and granular...or apple just releasing Alchemy Synth as an AUV3 with the full engine.
Being able to import my alchemy patches into GarageBand mobile.
Fabfilter plug ins as audio units?
Gadget not devouring my battery to half in 25 minutes, linear sequence mode, way better audio tracks, an auv3 gadget, maybe a nice strumming gadget with strings and stringed libraries...ms20 gadget, vocoder gadget, Auto-Tune gadget.
Bm3 getting pitch detection.
...affinity designer did come out today ...that is a game changer for me.
GR-16 does have Files app support. You simply place whatever files or folder you want into the GR-16 folder and they’re available in the app. I prefer this method because it reduces the number of samples I need to sort through in the app rather than having a bunch of nested folders. The samples are saved in the user bank as well so I can delete or replace the sample folders in GR-16 without worrying about losing my work. You can export/import banks too, using the Files app.
While GR-16 doesn’t have separate outs, you can export stems and process them as audio files in your DAW of choice if you want.
As to why some me of the requests you’d like to see in GR-16 haven’t been added is because I believe they would compromise the apps design/performance which is based upon emulating a piece of hardware. Other issues might be related to Apple’s developer infrastructure for music apps on iOS. Some of the features you praise in SpaceCraft are there because of the JUCE development tool used. If Apple provide better support, even JUCE would be further along and SpaceCraft would have fewer issues to be resolved as well. The same goes for AudioKit which has NOT come out with an AU app thus far.
Given the amount of input the developer has received from users on this forum along with the number of updates, I’d have to agree with @gusgranite that your criticism of the GR-16 developer doesn’t seem reasonable to me either which is very different from GR-16 being an app that’s of interest to you or which suit’s your needs.
It seems a lot easier to say a given app feature will or has been easy to do, it seems it’d be much harder to implement any new app feature without bugs while at the same time maintaining the backwards compatibility of the app’s banks so users don’t lose their work as @jimpavloff has done.
Fair enough, people have different priorities and what they like to do.
I’m gonna reiterate. For me , Sampletank as Auv3 would be it. They mentioned plans for this last year .
Can sampletank import own samples? I haven't found such option in free version, is it possible after some IAP? Or am I just blind?
A stable way of playing live with ios hardware. It's is sooo flakey.
The amount of times i've seen on stage...
Test your setup well beforehand. If something ever crashes once, it is out of the live running (sorry IAA Effectrix, RIP). Spread the setup out over multiple devices, having several lesser powered devices is likely better than one super beast running many things. Plus if there is a crash on one... yay, solo!
The people are to blame, not the device. The battery meter lightning bolt icon is easy to check.
Secure cables properly beforehand. Tape, stickies, velcro, putty, whatever it takes.
Pick a setup and stick with it. Hot swapping is the devils playground.
Get a heavy duty Otter box case type thing.
All of these things used to happen with laptops, which is why I never used one of them live either. In all honesty I would feel more comfortable with a simple iPad setup than a windows laptop even now.
The recovery now is pretty darn quick on my 2017 too. Particularly saved Aum sessions / AU only.
