Yeah great app, would be better as an AU though.
Not sure if it does the same level of degradation as the new one though, as I haven’t got the new one to compare.
Yeah, this RE-1 app seems to do everything I want, but doesn't yet support iPhone. I'd like to find something as good as this, but supporting iPhone and in AU format.
I wonder how it co> @MonzoPro said:
Wasn’t the Dev going to make all his AUFX apps AU?.... Think it was after he made AUM?..... Now gone all quiet..... Or have I got it wrong?.....
Italizer from the same developer and DubStation 2 from Audiodamage come to mind.
Cool! I forgot about DubStation 2! I have this app already! That should get me by! :-) Thanks!
I just tried a quicky 7min session while screen recording. No noticeable heat change, but my battery dropped about a percentage per minute. Granted, the screen recording likely ate a fair bit of that up, and I also had Tumblr, TestFlight, Firefox w/3tabs, Safari w/11tabs, Mail, Notes, Photos, and AppStore running in the background too.
I’m going to try again later with all other apps closed down, but 1% per minute drain does seem excessive... even without any heat and all those other apps running while screen recording.
This was just loose and not so great, but here’s a little demo where you can see the app in action and watch the battery drain.
What is all this talk about 'dub'? I've always just called a delay a delay. Wouldn't any delay be good for 'dub'? Or are you talking about a specific music style or genre? I've always been at a loss over this.
He’s said it’s on the list today in another thread, but doesn’t seem top priority. It’d be nice, but I’m not complaining as his other apps are essential for me, and so happy he concentrates on those.
It does sound very good in the vids, pretty sure I don’t have anything else that would create the same effect.
Hope the issues are sorted soon.
Enlighten me too in this regard please. I don’t get it.
Anyways I have dub delay from Audiodamage but RE-1 is my new favorite. I was never really happy with dub station or how is it called.
We don’t have many delays on iOS, haven’t we?!?!
I think when people say dub they mean dub reggae, one of the best musical styles ever created by some crazy jamaican geniuses (lee perry amongst others)
well Kai says he has rewritten the animations manually, probably to circumvent apple core animation and it will be a lot better. You can tell its the gui causing the prob , if you operate the app in the background the heat disappears quickly. I’ll suggest he does a bit of moonlighting for Korg, then Gadget will be a ‘cool’ app once more..
Hm, is that it? Strange. I still think a delay is a delay. It's like THE staple effect after reverb in all genres of music, don't get how it has such a strong 'dub association.
RE-1 inspired me to reexperiment with Kosmonaut. Really like the RE-1, but Kosmonaut's getting me what I want out of the looper. It's easy to dial in a level on the looper that stays constant, which is the big problem for me, and the sound degradation is much more of a slow degradation. They're different things to be sure, but Kosmonaut wins this aspect for me.
Hey guys, I've been meaning to weigh in on this sooner but I wanted to take some time to look into this whole heat/battery situation first.
So, here's whats happening. First of all, there does not seem to be a problem in the sense that the app doesn't work the way it should. That said, as some reported, it can generate an unusual amount of heat in some cases. Responsible for this, as some may have guessed, is the large amount of high frame rate animations which is essentiall running all the time, if the UI is visible that is.
So, if you want to verify this, simply put the app into the background or hide the UI otherwise and you should see a noticable cooldown.
Now, I'm not entirely sure why these animations appear to be more ressource intensive on some devices than on others but it may be a bug in Apples animation framework, I'm still investigating.
Regardless, I did spent most of the day replacing that code with a manual approch which does appear to give substiantially better results. A beta is currently waiting for review and should be available by tomorrow, those affected are welecome to check out the beta.
Jamaican style of music developed in the late 60's / early 70's by the likes of King Tubby and Lee Scratch Perry. Tape was THE medium and defined the sound. Tape delay and spring reverbs are the standout effects. It was the first music (aside from maybe some early electronic pioneers like Raymond Scott and les paul) to wildly exploit tape echo. certainly the first genre to do so.
Digital Dub came around in the 80's and obviously there are a million subgenres that have spun out, most of them not capturing the raw, adventurous and creative spirit of the original innovators imo.

Well, a synth is a synth and a guitar a guitar but they still sound different. In my mind at least a dub delay in the most classical sense is a tape delay. Simply because that's what they used to make dub back in day. Much like spring reverbs (on a snare for instance), they are what creates that typical dub vibe.
Thank for checking in @ka010 and for the fast response!
Thanks, i understand the connotation now.
Number 5 in paid apps in the UK App Store now. Games have practically disappeared from the list! Music apps are back. Weird!
There is the Tape Delay in Cubasis, which I really like but is sort of a random entity....
There's also Echo Pitch: all the demos for it sound like Robert Fripp, but I could never make behave at all.
I was hoping that it the Dev could include a Spring Reverb?..... Then you can get the “King Tubby” sound...
Although @j_liljedahl is top dev when talking about audio apps and did make amazing things (AUM to recall one), it's unclear if all those things that are promised will going happen soon. Nearly more than 2 years ago he promised to implement LINK into Sector so far this did not happen. I read somewhere he's now daddy and this also takes a lot of his time. Understandable
Plus, he's obviously a driven and idea-filled guy, and those usually like to keep moving forward, despite their best intentions. Would be pleasantly surprised if it ever happens.
Dub is a genre of music[2] that grew out of reggae in the 1960s, and is commonly considered a subgenre,[3] though it has developed to extend beyond the scope of reggae. Music in this genre consists predominantly of instrumental remixes of existing recordings[4] and is achieved by significantly manipulating and reshaping the recordings, usually by removing the vocals from an existing music piece, and emphasizing the drum and bass parts (this stripped-down track is sometimes referred to as a riddim). Other techniques include dynamically adding extensive echo, reverb, panoramic delay, and occasional dubbing of vocal or instrumental snippets from the original version or other works. It was an early form of popular electronic music.[5] The Roland Space Echo was widely used by dub producers in the 1970s to produce echo and delay effects. --Wikipedia
For me, I associate it especially with long extended never ending echos like the Roland Space Echo.
SECTOR syncs perfectly by IAA sync
I've been enjoying RE-1 but have a stupid question: how do you use it as simple looper? i.e. record a loop and stop the record process while having the loop continue to play (and have the input instrument still be audible so that you can play along with the loop.
It seems like I must be overlooking something obvious.
Yeah. this is one Auv3 that just doesn't exist. there are some good reverbs, but none that does a spring. Maybe when tonestack makes it over, I'll use that, but that spring didn't sound very good to me. Personally, i'd be more than happy with a convolution Auv3, but a convincing emulation along the lines of like Springbox is what I'm dreaming of.
for now I'm using Mobile Convolution IAA, but it crashes pretty regularly
Virsyn Tap Delay
Yes it is!
