the rest this stuff produces is fancy garbage ...
I don't get this sort of comment. It's really unhelpful and honestly sort of rude. Come at us with a constructive comment instead of saying three or four times that this synth isn't for you. We get it.
Yeah, I truly don't understand the need for people to proclaim that they don't want to buy something. If it isn't for you, move along. It comes across as entitled moaning.
Can you imagine going grocery shopping with a person who has to talk shit about everything they don't want to put into their cart? "..these mangos aren't nearly as good as the ones you get in the Philippines.. HEY EVERYONE, I don't like these MANGOS! I'm not going to buy these!! Oh my gawd.. I can't believe how much they're asking for these cucumbers!! what an outrage! I'm not buying any, hey everyone, I'm not buying cucumbers!!"
The clicks may be the result of how you are setting the envelopes. The comments that this synth just cannot be a "smooth" granular are generalized nonsense, I'm getting very "smooth" results depending how I use it. From the manual:
_
"Note that the jump from the right-hand loop point back to the left will likely produce some sort of click or
other discontinuity, depending on what the FEG is modulating. To avoid this click, you have two options: 1)
set both loop points to the same level, so that the jump doesn't create a change in output level; 2) use the
bidirectional looping mode—that's what it's there for."_
high five! good one.
Hmmm... I take it all back, crash fest tonight. Kept crashing in standalone when I imported my own samples, so updated to the latest version (I’d been holding off, as it was working ok previously). After updating loaded up two instances in AUM and they kept freezing up every few seconds - controls unresponsive (Discord does this too), and unable to load samples.
Tedious,
Aaaarghhhh!!!!! Help seriously needed.
It just killed my Safari again. Dang.
I tried every workaround I could find here, but nothing works. Or I haven‘t found the right one. Any advice would be highly appreciated.
Haven’t had the Safari issue, and standalone is working ok now, but two AU instances and it freezes up. I guess it’s an ‘old’ device issue or summat.
Uhhhh 2:45
This is one incredible pad sound! Wow!
Why can’t quanta do this?
I think with the right sample Quanta could do this. It doesn’t have the FM section that was demonstrated (could you get a similar sound with the dual filters? Possibly). But the first half of the video there was nothing that Quanta couldn’t do.
P.S. inspired by the video, and because I had a glass handy, I sampled me tapping the glass. I didn’t get the voice like tones that were shown on the video, but I did get a very nice vibraphone sound very quickly.
Ain’t it though. Between this and Patterning 2 I’ve had two straight nights of frustration and nothing to show for it.
I’m thinking of finding some young guns and forming a band again so I can just play some freakin guitar without worrying about recording songs.
I like to make it sing and dance

Well I like what everyone said, taken together. I will probably pick it up, as I am an Audio Damage fan for sure. I was just excited about it, then it took a little while, then there were complaints, then everything went quiet. Some people are claiming everything is fine, others that they have issues. I'll drop the $8 and see how it goes.
I think that one misconception is that this stuff is about money. Well sure, in some cases. But to be clear, some people just don't buy things they don't love. That being said I was interested in those filters that just dropped, but the price froze my interest. Just didn't feel right. Then people were saying the CPU hit was high....
I had a lot of this about a year ago with other apps crashing and freezing up, so I stopped using the iPad and went back to desktop. The Brambos stuff and new AU’s that came out this year were rock solid though, so I’ve drifted back in. I’ve now got a good selection of apps I can use and rely on, and a bunch I can’t (Elasticdrums I’m looking at you).
Unfortunately Quanta AU freezes up every time I go above one instance, so it’s IAA only for me with this one, until I get a faster iPad. Which is frustrating as it sounds really good, but like the Moogs, my Air 2 just can’t handle it.
Recommend the band thing - there’s an insane amount of fun to be had, bashing away on guitars with a bunch of like minded souls.
I held off until the first bug fix, and so didn't suffer the initial issues. It seemed to be working really well for me, but then started playing up in standalone. I grabbed the latest update to see if it'd fix it, and now it's playing up in AU mode - standalone is fine though, but I now finally get 'the clicking thing' everyone was talking about.
CPU-wise it's not looking high when I use it in AUM, but it's probably the cause of my issues with it.
It's a versatile app, so I think the confusion in user feedback is down to the time it takes to fully explore the different scenarios in which it can be used, so people discover stuff as they go along.
I would say it definitely needs an update though, it's not stable for me in its current state.
and now some post above someone is already having again these safari issues again.
I am afraid to use quanta (without a backup and plenty of time to recover safari if it hits me)
Thanks Max, that worked really good.
iPulsaret is a great one. I dived in yesterday and it is deeeeep. really versatile.
Agree about ipulsaret needing to be AU. Granulator on Live is very nice but I just find the standard M4L interface very uninspiring and claustrophobic, so until they allow scaling the M4L interfaces they are a bit of a turnoff for me. So compared to them Quanta has a much better user experience which goes a long way.
Still no Safari bug here.
Yeah, that‘s me. Right now I‘m installing a backup of my complete iPad. Which is a major pain in the a... and costs me hours an hours.
I‘m a huge fan of Audio Damage, but Quanta (as an exception to the rule) won‘t find a way back on my iPad.
@futureaztec, you made my day! You stirred the pot and you don't even own the app!! Frankly, I would miss the cranky confrontational aspect of this forum. IMO everyone likes it even if it is in a somewhat perverse and myopic way. Self righteous indignation! Empathy for the dev! My precious dough! Criticizing the criticizer! Pissing and moaning! Groaning about moaning! I love the smell of conflict in the moaning! All families are crazy, why not this one? Take it away and you have a bunch of algorithms and a vanilla ice cream fan club.
The only thing that bothers me is that most times people who bash don't show up again to respond or face a little heat. It's like they throw a rock and run away. Not @futureaztec. He takes it like a man! Now buy the fucking synth so we (I)can get along with our (my) absurd human experience. Love you all! Really! This is the most fun since my mom used to keep a live carp in the bathtub to make gefilte fish for Passover!
I checked that Granulator video and agree with @Max23 that it's fairly basic stuff in that kind of synthesis.
Granulator is certainly optimized for the developer's main focus (and done really well), as pointed out in the video.
It seems to operate at higher resolution than iPulsaret, though, which comes up with similiar padsounds when using similiar samples (I used a flageolet from my guitar).
OK, just to be clear. ( and apologies to @LeonKowalski I didn't notice yr problem until now, I could have saved you some headache )
The Safari Bug triggered by Quanta is real... but it's not devastating. it just effects/freezes the url window. The solution I found by chance, though i had already read on Apple forums that Safari only clears its caches out when it feels like it , sometimes after several days, you have no way to do this manually unfortunately.
What I did: installed Firefox browser ( its free ) and used that as an alternative, you can still use safari via old bookmarks and google etc , you just can't ever touch the top url window. after 2 maybe 3 days of using Firefox I went back and tried safari and VOILA! it had automagically fixed itself. the problem has not returned and i have continued to use Quanta to great effect over the last week or so.
What i haven't done is update Quanta from the second version with the initial safari bug fix etc.. so i can't comment on the last two updates.
so Safari url freeze... don't panic. do the Firefox and sit it out..
No NO issues here.
I find it to be sensual and disturbing at the same time.
Love it.
@RockySmalls:
Thanks a lot for your tips. Sadly a bit too late, because I‘m right in the middle of rebuilding my iPad (damn all those IAPs), but at least I know it for next time. No need to apologize at all!
Actually I have already used Firefox as a temporal replacement. If only I had had more patience to wait for your advice
What I still don‘t get is what Quanta has to do with the Safari cache. The latest problem occured days after my latest download of those presets...
