2016 9.7" ipad pro.
The only issue I really have is that I have to reload an instance to start over. If I clear the loop in Enso it does a crazy feedback loop.
I can still run AUM to send audio from AB3 through an FX chain and back. The crashes only occur when Enso is hosted in AUM.
FWIW, Loopy HD is even better for this than Enso. I just did a session in AUM building 12 long loops swapping heavy CPU AUs (and the IAA CPU hog OdysseI for good measure) in and out on an iPad 6th Gen. CPU load when the AUs were ejected was about 26% with Bleass reverb running on a bus. This was a setup in which each Loopy track had its own channel in AUM.
I wouldn’t be surprised if I could get even more tracks by also running the iPhone Loopy though I can’t imagine needing to.
Can’t argue with you there. Loopy is definitely more robust.
Here’s a video of the very repeatable issue with the record head stopping after changing record speed.
Happened on Air2 and Air3, regardless of long recording on/off
Because you have Quantize on.
Messing with the play and record speeds with Quantize on causes problems.
I don't recall reading that in the manual...
No but you're experienced with iOS and know how buggy even the best apps are.
It's the small downside to having cheap access to highly innovative music making tools. It's also not uncommon for apps to be abandoned because there is no possible way to fix all of the bugs that may cause users to request refunds and rage on forums. (I'm not saying you're doing that just to be clear
)
Haha, what the hell? I had no idea Chris was the guy behind Sister Machine Gun. I had one of their albums when I was a young Wax Trax disciple. Guess he last released an
album in 2015. Too weird.
Just to follow up on this, I've done a little more testing with non Audio Damage AU and AUM.
In Audiobus I can pile on AU until it's a crackling mess. I can make adjustments in the AU windows and it won't crash.
In AUM I can load up the same amount, bring it to a crackling mess but as soon as a I adjust anything in the AU windows or in some cases even bring them up = crash.
It's clearly an AUM issue.
I can second that. Runs well in Apematrix with 4 instances, with an occasional freeze when quitting the app but never while in use.
Maybe noob question but:
Is there any way to x-fade start-end looping points to avoid clicking?
Actually quite buggy even when i use only one instance. AUM/iPad Pro 10.5 2017.
sadly, no way to guarantee smooth loop transitions at the moment.
A workaround I’ve found for the click is to set the trigger to overdub straight out of recording the first loop. That way it continues to record the tail of the last note/chord and it doesn’t have that click. Triggering again will then put it in play mode. A cross fade would still be a better solution, but this has worked pretty well for me.
If so, then probably a good idea to tag @j_liljedahl unless he has been informed of this issue.
@SquareKid thanks for the tip! It sounds so obvious when you state it like that:)
Unfortunately I can't reproduce this. I'm stacking a lot of Enso's here but it runs smooth and without crackles at 64 frame buffer size on my iPad Pro 1st gen.
Are all those instances actually full of recorded loops though? If they were and you interacted with the AU window... It would crash!
ED oops, I was talking about Quanta
Im really enjoying this update.
Going to do an app store review, I think the AD guys deserve it.
Yup... for shits and giggles I tried it. Red Cross hatching of death all around...
Fun to play the sectors on this:
Does anyone know how to map a controller knob to the Feedback or sector settings? I know he mentioned that on/off buttons work best for midi but I’m looking to change those values over time. Would like to turn the feedback up or down with a knob without reaching all the way over to the iPad screen! 😅
@sketcherazzi
It's not in the list inside the app for CC# but it is available in the list of parameters.
Ah, thanks - I was looking so hard for it in the app settings that I forgot to check AUM’s settings - thanks again!
Interesting, so is enso stable in another hosts? I had terrible issues with AD Quanta and developer took a year to fix most of them. Even now it doesn't work correctly for me so I'm very dubious about buying AD apps now.
Have you checked the manual? If I recall,you have to export the buffer for use in other apps.
I really need to read the Enso manual. No joke, so few buttons, beautiful... Yet I'm always clicking everything like a doofus and praying it does what I think it's going to do. Still not sure how to get the layers working. It's my fault. RTFM, right?
The manual is great.
Also, AD made a very good video walkthrough on their YouTube channel. 40 minutes, but very informative and well done.
