  • The Flora Creative FX are all fantastic, cheap and lite on cpu. Blamsofts fx are nice too. Saffron Saturator is my most used effect.

    Yes to Flora and Blamsoft.

  • I haven’t tried Flora FX yet, I will do.

    theyre just straightforward, simple and sound great. Really cheap and sound miles better then their price. the saturation is the best ive used on ios though sound is pretty subjective. the delay is different but not clangorous.

    Synths:

    • all BramBos plugins
    • all IceGear plugins
    • Poison303
    • KQ Dixie (best DX7 emu ever, including all desktop plugins !!)

    Fx:

    • FAC plugins - very stable, lightweight on CPU, good sound quality
    • Klevgrand stuff !!

    Long gone are the days of NanoStudio 1 where you were able to run 16 instances of a good-sounding, heavily optimized Eden synth on an iPhone 4, which had a tenth of the processing power and memory of modern hardware. Add to that 3 OK-sounding insert effects per channel.

    And times where you will be able to run dozens of synths ad even more dozens of FXs on average device, with superb quality, are very close :-) NS2 is slowly knocking on door, i'm pretty sure it will render obsolete lot of synth / fx AUv3 plugins :)

    How about you start a thread about what we would like to see in a Xequence DAW? Might be useful for you to gauge what features people deem more important than others and at what level you want Xequence to exist in.

    Features like freeze track are important gauges for many - Cubasis, Auria Pro make use of this feature so that even on iOS, large projects are quite possible. BM3 however gives you a great low resource option of the sampler, but AU resources will soon stop any major project from happening.

    BM3 and NS1 (and hopefully NS2) however, major on their ease of getting a track up and running quickly - almost a midway point between full blown DAWs (AP and Cubasis) and the Compact project apps (BeatHawk, Grooverider etc). Might be interesting for you to hear from us where we would like Xequence to realistically be positioned.

    Yes good idea... however, I'm already secretly gauging you folks all over the forum and making a list ;) no needed for a separate post probably.

    The truth is (and I've said that already on a different thread I think) that in my opinion, the best workflow and efficiency can still be achieved in an all-in-one app (of course with AUs!) without any app switching at all.

    The problem is that there's currently not a single DAW-like all-in-one that doesn't have at least one "show-stopper" (for me) shortcoming, or is somehow buggy or unpredictable. Especially not universal (what Xequence will always be.)

    I would start the "Xequence DAW" project right away, however I'm currently a bit afraid that NS2 will "kill off" too many potential buyers in order for it to be viable (if an iOS niche "semi-pro" music app can be viable at all!). So I'm still on the fence :)

    (top secret: the mixer UI is already done though :D)

    I don't own Xequence myself, but speaking generally -- I think a well implemented AU host with track freeze, decent mixer, solid export features and excellent MIDI sequencer as the main event offers a very strong value proposition.

    I guess from there, throwing in audio tracks is only natural..

    Although I uunderstand the desire for a decent ‘all in one’ solution, I would advise against putting up any walls. Contain people by sheer wonder of workflow by all means, but audio and midi stem exports are some of the most desirable features in any app!

    Agreed. And good sync to whatever workflow/technology you use :wink:

    BTW, my best results with multiple sources generally is BS-16i and Sunvox being triggered by Xequence :lol:
    Although I do have good results with Sampletank's 8 instruments and some other sources here and there :smiley:

    Then don't make a linear DAW, make a loop/pattern based one. iPad should be a good platform for live use. 'Less going on, less to go wrong' versus laptops. And we still don't have the undisputed Abelton Live-esque iPad app. That would be the kind of app that would really bring people to the platform. Seven Systems have proven talent, you could do it.

    Oh and while I'm here, it needs

    • very little menu diving to be usable live (looking at you BM3)
    • tempo changes in songs (looking at you every iOS app that never heard of anything other than dance music)
    • All time sigs.
    • groove template editor (single swing knob is an over simplified cop-out)
    • freezing to audio loops
    • flexible arrangement mode (i.e. specify the number of repeats of each pattern including inf. Looking toward Stagelight)
    • hands free operation (i.e. midi cc to change patterns, etc., actually most apps do this well, not glaring at anyone, but an important feature)

    :)

    I wouldn’t worry much about this. We all spend more time buying apps than working on music! Joking but there is still a market and you already have the universal issue worked out. Who knows when ns2 comes out and universal won’t be for a bit after.

    Make it user friendly like Cubasis is

  • Hello folks, can anyone recommend a lightweight, modular AU synth? I rarely use synths for playing melodies, but usually for more abstract things, so Poison and the like are not a good fit for me. I still prefer the ability to play something more basic occasionally, which is why I'm looking for a modular-ish AU synth (instead of just using granular apps etc).

    I love Arturia iSEM, but unfortunately it's very unstable with AUM. It has a very nice matrix for modulations, plus a small sequencer for voice programming. It really strikes the perfect balance between ease of use and tweaking opportunities. Such a pity it crashes constantly.

    The Arturia guys are aware of the bug and they are working for a fix.
