"iOS: user files are now available through the Files app"
Bloody ripper! Everything else is gravy.
Well they've not been moved, just now have access through the Files app. but it's much easier now to import folders you could copy a whole lot of samples together and put them in a sunvox folder rather than having to open sunvox first.
so whatever folders you had in your Sunvox setup should now be available to see in Files.
The Drum Synth module is perfect for giving this new feature a spin, because it has different kits across all the octaves. Quick set up:
-open new empty song
-open drum synth, attach it to output
-on track 0 enter notes on lines 00-08
-on track 1 enter 29 for all lines in the effect column (EE), then 0008 for all lines on the XXYY column (you can just put 8 in the last Y column and the zeros get filled in automatically), then add a few notes where you want to transpose
-hit play
-get funky
You can do much with this:
-set up only half a pattern to be random
-set up two different sections of notes on track 0 and omit notes in one section, then use track 1 to point to the different sections at different points in the pattern
-get even funkier
SunVox is just ridiculously good.
how do i send a sample from audioshare to sunvox, to use in the sampler?
Boffins, the lot of yer.
Thanks for your help, will go and have a play.
You can use the “open in” function in AudioShare and it sends it directly to a Sampler module in SunVox ready to be used in the currently opened project.
Click the share icon in Audioshare, copy to snvx. It opens in a new Sampler module.
Or use the files app to copy samples from the AudioShare folder to an appropriate sub-folder in Sunvox. They’ll be available to load at that point.
Finally, I can build myself a synth with 256 knobs and switches.
Here’s the inside of a module that ships with SunVox called Keres Yellow Kit
oh that’s very convenient. thanks
hehehehe I use ios for ease of use and inspiration. That picture makes me want to crawl into a hole. Looks like something in excel charts or dna research. I'll leave this one to others.
I use SnuVxo for ease of use and inspiration.
Not me, I burst into tears just from looking at it.
Honestly, it is just guitar pedals. Input in one end, connect wires between them. Output (speaker) at the end.
I hardly ever get aerated about UIs BUT S--V--........
I actually find it quite comforting and efficient when using a light theme:
Might well be Stockholm Syndrome though..
I don’t mind the wires, it’s the numbers that frighten me.
Haha, I'm with you 100%. I think it's really cool and I even messed around with the (free) PC version a bit. For the $7 or whatever I spent on it, I absolutely was never disappointed by the purchase. But I also failed to ever figure out basic functionality in the app relating to sound design, MIDI routing/sequencing, or pretty much anything else that allowed me to use it musically.
There's a subset of iOS music apps (Different Drummer comes to mind) that seem to have obvious potential under the hood, but it becomes more of a computer game just figuring out how to tame the thing to perform functions that would be evident within 15 seconds of opening any other app. Such is my experience with SunVox.
All that complaining aside, it's an incredibly powerful and far reaching app that does everything and nothing for me all at the same time. This is an impressive list of upgrades and the app has been well supported over the years, particularly for something that looks like it is based on the tracker programs of 25+ years ago.
SunVox can be used as a 16-part midi sampler quite easily.
First go to 'Preferences' and enable the midi-input you wish to use.
(This step is optional as SunVox creates it's own Virtual Midi-Port that can be addressed from for example AUM)
Create 16 sampler 'boxes' and make sure each of them always receives midi on a separate midi-channel (double tap on the box for settings) unless you want layering. Wire each sampler to the Output unless you wish to pass them thru filters or any other effects in which case you can create effect boxes and wire them all together.
Save that as a 'template' (and if needed select that as the 'starting template' to speed things up).
In order to make sample-import easier copy a folder of samples into the SunVox folder using Files.app.
Load a sample to each of the 16 samplers, done.
Sequencing is pretty straight forward to using the patterns, think of it as a vertical time-line instead of a horizontal one with next to absolute control over every step regarding playback parameters.
(The original 'SoundTracker' was a 16-part sampler with 4 voice polyphony).
SunVox is pretty binary so there are 10 types of users, those who get it and those who don't.
Ok, here's a 9 image crash course on using SunVox as a 'sample player' in AUM...
Launch AUM and load SunVox IAA-Generator onto a track and tap on the SunVox icon...
In SunVox menu select new project and choose 'empty'.
The screen should look like this.
Double-Tap on an empty area close to the Output icon to bring up a menu of 'modules' and choose the 'Sampler'
Double tap on the Sampler object to bring up it's configuration and make sure Midi In is set to always and also choose a channel like this.
Close the box and tap on 'Edit' to enter the Sampler boxes editor but don't forget to 'connect' the sampler to the output, tap with one finger on the sampler and another finger on the output...
Tap on the 'Samples' tab.
Tap om the 3-lines menu next to the magnifying glasses to bring up the load/save etc. menu and choose 'Load'.
Choose a file using the SunVox file-manager.
I suggest creating a 'Samples' folder using Files.app inside the SunVox folder for ease of use).
And from AudioShare just tap 'Share' and use 'Files' as an option and export the sample to SunVox.
Once the sample is loaded tap 'Close' and repeat the process for as many samples you need.
Now over to AUM where you...
...bring up the AUM keyboard and tap on the wrench.
And select SunVox Virtual as the destination...
Play your sample using the AUM keyboard...
With a bit of trial-n-error you'll all master this in no time!
Cheers!

The tracker panel at the top? I have it closed 99% of the time.
Nice one Samu, I'll try that later.
Ah ok. I did have a bash with it last year, I'll have another look now it's been updated.
I always maximise the part I'm actually using and scale the text to be as big as possible
'Step Notes' notes into the pattern is actually not so hard when the cursor keys are enabled and it's possible to enable 'draw mode' for editing the parameter automation.
SunVox truly rewards those who take the time to master it.
The other great thing is that it allows such variety in how to work with it.
I do get the tracker, and have used it plenty, but mostly I tend to lay down a simple note pattern linked to a MultiSynth and then spend all my time wiring and rewiring modules off of this to get the effects I am after.
Once I have a dozen or so sunvx files I then load them all into an empty snvox and wire them up as a multitrack that can be sequenced from the timeline. Pure magic!
Unfortunately, in my experience SunVox is not really usable as a MIDI sound module because whenever I tried to use it that way, I got very inaccurate timing (like, 16th notes at 120 BPM all over the place). It gets better at lower buffer sizes, which makes me think that SunVox just adds incoming MIDI notes at sample buffer granularity, which is of course not acceptable for electronic music, or anything except pads
Other than that I love it.
Sounds like a useful defect report..
@Jocphone yah will report it, I remixed one of Sunvox's demo tunes (Siberian Beauty) a few years ago anyway so I should still have Alexander's email address on file
Most iOS apps are 'sloppy' with midi-timing especially when controlling or being controlled by other apps that's why I really do prefer to render loops when ever I can. iOS is not a 'real-time OS' OS so some lags are to be expected.
Setting to buffer to 64 in AUM makes things a bit better but I still prefer to render loops.
Now If SunVox was an AUV3 we could potentially have sample-accurate sync.
May IAA R.I.P. I will not miss it at all...
