Is the UI in AUM for the paid app better than that for the free one (which is atrociously small even on a 10.5 iPad)?
I’ll check out the free one but I had no problem on my 10.5” with the paid version. Initial window in landscape looks small but double touch the top bar and it expands full screen without issue.
It doesn’t seem to for me on the paid version
Lots of potential but definitely has UI issues right now. Let’s get the developer in here for some good old love and user requests! 😎
UI seems ok in BM3 on the 10.5. A shame there is an intro price but the auto doesn’t work... definitely on my saledar.
Right. I was in AUM on the 10.5
yeah, i could t get the free one to work i. AUM either > @gusgranite said:
You can resize it using two fingers
It's a bit hooped in AUM right now. You can zoom in but the zoom is always focused on the center. So you can't zoom in and then move up to the filter selection to select a new filter as it is offscreen.
just for novelty/experiment I rigged a pseudo gate for it using AUM, with inverted mutes mapped to
C1 through C7 ... Worked better than I expected, despite taking over 80 AUM channels
Will gladly share the preset somewhere if anyone would like to use it; I’m sure there are probably a lot easier ways to setup a gate with aufx push or something of the sort, but I’ve never tried on iOS.
If you have iVCS3 there is an envelope AU that can be used for this.
First update is out:
Good update, need to download it, but AU parameters. 😥
Yeah, those are still missing but I'll give the dev some time to check out the situation...
The oscillator is quite fat and good for drones just need an option to control the gate using note on/off messages.
(ie. a drone/gate switch).
I also do wonder if the brick-wall limiter in the plug-in works as the output when using the oscillator, especially in 8 voice unison mode is HOT
I have to admit that the filters do sound really nice, as does the saturation.
I wish that it didn't add so much gain to the signal. Even with the drive and saturator down, it gives a very significant boost to the signal, which requires gain adjustments to the incoming signal..
The plugin design has me firmly on the fence with this one. I know it's cheap, but I find that plugins that are frustrating to use don't get used..
Firstly, the decision to make the workspace tiny and then have submenus in something with so few options is a strange decision, especially since midi cc isn't exposed as of yet.
Why not have all components (saturator, modulation, oscillator) laid out horizontally. I see no reason for the ability to drag the filter around the page when the popup menus that block the main panel cannot be moved out of the way.
I couldn't figure out how to change filter until I accidentally swiped up on the filter name. Huh.. The one area where a popup menu would be appropriate...
Lastly, (one of my pet peeves in the world of UI) the popup menus require you to tap exactly on the itsy bitsy button in order to exit. Note to developers: tap anywhere to exit is best practice and leads to best flow.
I hope to see this get a better workflow by doing away with the unnecessary menudiving and more importantly exposing midi cc's.
Has anyone heard from the dev that AU automation will ever work?
Looks like AU parameter automation will come with the 2.2 update, although, if I understand correctly, it won't work with AUM
From https://midi.digitster.com/JAX/versions.html
"AUM for instance exposes this "main parameter" of the unit successfully, but on the other side FAILS to list our parameter tree !? that is absolutely un-logical and must be an issue in AUM."
Recording automation already works, it's just that apparently it does not read from it yet. I bet it's just a matter of time because a filter needs automation or a good built-in modulation sequencer, no question.
The JAF Collection also sounds great when using it to add this magic "analog mojo" to audio.
I really like it.
The JAF Collection, JAF Model One and JAX Stereo Tool apps were just updated on the app store.
It does sound fantastic and can take the bland away when a mix feels a bit cardboard/lifeless. Seems I may have to spend some time getting to know the character of the different filters.
I also heard back from the dev that yes AU automation issues are to be fixed any moment now, whoot!
These filters make KQ Dixie come alive! But automation would make it 💯 x 💯.
The AUParameters are not visible in AUM. If I’m not mistaken it’s somethings the developer has to do with their app so I guess @j_liljedahl has a clue about what this is and we can share it with Jens too...
I've just found that automation already works in apeMatrix which is probably the best alternative to AUM for now.
Hmm, I've gone AUM exclusive, really hope developer is able to find fix. Do hard coded midi cc still work?
Someone might want to point out that AUM is one of the most popular AU hosts and pretty much all AUs with exposed parameters work as expected in it. It would be worthwhile for him to be in touch with @j_liljedahl to figure why they aren't working in AUM.
The latest update has now enabled automation in Cubasis 👍🏼
I’ll tell you what I’m not buying.... the fact that somehow AUM is doing something wrong.
edit: just read the update notes and it’s snotty af. Or am I misreading? Seems like something where you’d just reach out to the dev rather than trash the app in the update notes?
@DCJ : I agree. The notes are snotty. Even if there is some AUM quirk ( and I am not saying there is) those release notes are uncalled for and rude.
Agreed.
I’m putting it down to inexperience and giving the developer a pass. The website is much more conciliatory.
“We really like AUM. For its clearness and scalability and all. But we have no clue, why our units do not work there. We tried everything. Currently the parameter automation and iteration does work correctly with other flagship host applications. If someone has a technical hint for us, why AUM refuses to work with us, so please tell us!”
