Yes!
Actually, it’s a button but you adjust the contrast with a slider.
Correct, I will send you a code in a private message 👍
Danke an Jens! Thanks to @White for the opportunity!
Yes
One more code please
Next question: What does the letters JAF stand for?
The first one who posts the correct answer here in this discussion, will get a code.

Just a Filter

Cool. Thank you 😊
I have one last code to give away, so here is the last question:
In the description for the JAF Collection in the app store, there is a remark saying the current introductory prices are valid until a specific date. Which date?

Sept. 1
1st September 2019 ahh darn
Correct, I will send you a code in a private message 👍
👍Muchos gracias! (now i can stop checking this thread every 3 minutes! 🤪)
D... deleted... was wrong...
@klownshed There you go.. congrats on finally getting yours!
Of course thanks to Jens, @Simon + @White for the free codes.
If you missed out on a code you don't have to miss out on the great filter sounds of the JAF Collection. Grab it here:

The free version is very cool. The full version is even cooler.
Thanks for playing everyone!
Haha yeah :-)
Just lucky I was posting in another thread when this thread popped up.
yes but its a slider
good morning ☀️ (from 🇩🇪 Germany)!
...to be somewhat more precise: the button exposes a slider, and the slider adjusts the contrast. that‘s correct.
the user comments on the contrast overlay controls are very controversial. some of them even reported it as being a 🐜 bug. so what do you think?
I thought about a long press gesture to invoke or hide the controls overlay. but this may lead to a situation, where many users won‘t even find that feature. because I also know for sure, that nobody is actually reading manuals...
ps: unfortunately I‘ve got a bad typo in my nick name.
I am heavily ... errrm ... stress-worked/work-stressed (?)
so I won‘t come here very often.
**emergency notice: **we have discovered, that our released JAF series have an audio issue.
we accidentally placed the final brick-wall limiter into a wrong place inside the signal chain. this can lead to high level signal bursts (especially with excessive modulation) on the outputs, which will exceed then the 0db boundary easily this way. we apologize for this!
with analog equipment this is usually no problem at all, but on digital systems usually bad distortion will occur. we will ship a small free audio unit today to the App Store review processing (JAX !Make Loder), which can help to bring our JAF beasts under control. the issue will be resolved with the next maintenance update 1.3, along with (finally!) successful AUM ❤️ parameter exposing.
for interested developers: we found out, that ❤️ AUM is using kinda “exotic” flags to examine whether a parameter will be exposed or not. we found this information on the AUM ❤️ websites. other hosts do not require such flags, so the automation was working there since update 1.2.
Open and honest, thanks for the heads up
I think that the button exposing the slider is fine. i think that the slider itself should automatically hide itself once it's been set (after a period of inactivity), I shouldn't have to toggle it...
Also, as I'm getting older my eyesight isn't what it was. I find the interface very hard to read on my iPhone 7 even with the contrast set all the way to the right (and zoomed in as far as practical). The text is very small and too light for its size.
Sorry to add to your stress but one further question if I may?
I can't control two or more dials simultaneously (no multitouch). Is this a bug?
multitouch is reserved to the ‚pinch2zoo&move‘ feature. it would introduce just more confusion, if there were a bunch of new buttons on top to switch and toggle different editing modi...
well, UI (user interface) and UX (user experience) design is very very very difficult to master. even with touchscreen devices!
we tend to make things as ‚simple‘ („kiss“ paradigm) as even possible. so please do not ask for popup menus, that actually lock the screen and block the workflow, please no legions of buttons onto toolbars and possibly also no batteries of configuration dialogs and such ...
we will think about multi touch more in depth with the upcoming JAF Dual Pro, as it makes really sense with that. Then you actually will have 2 parallel/serial devices connected at ones on the screen...
here‘s another thought:
we definitively think, that - in the meantime - Apple device users are too much ‚trained‘ to use static interfaces. I personally find myself continuously and intuitively always trying to zoom into the screen without any success and with nearly everything I am using... this ‚it’s all static paradigm - so what?’ ... just drives me crazy! 😝
Good to hear that AUM fix is on the way. As far as I remember the flags are there, so devs can distinguish params available to host/params available to user (I could be wrong though)
Also great that the hot signal going to be addressed. There are quite big gain differences between different models.
Thanks for this great sounding plugin!
I don't disagree with this viewpoint; However, I think for an audio app, the audio controls should take priority. If I'm tweaking a 303, the first thing I do is grab the cutoff and resonance knobs and twist'em about like it was 1992. When I put JAF on a bass line, it was literally the first thing I tried.
I get that features must be prioritised and I'm only saying that from my personal viewpoint I'd gladly give up pinch to zoom for multitouch controls.
I actually like the graphic design of the UI, but find it really hard to use from an accessibility POV. I have to zoom in to read the text and then it's hard to scroll round as you're constantly moving a dial instead as the controls become way too big.
With regards to the contrast control, I do have a small feature request. Can you please make the contrast setting sticky. Every time I open the UI it's back to grey regardless of how I leave it. Also, the pop up windows (Saturator, etc) are always in the Grey no matter what the main UI contrast is set to; I honestly properly struggle to see the UI at all with the default contrast and the pop ups are always in the default colours. The chosen shade of red on grey is practically illegible and it makes me feel old ;-)
I probably would not have struggled 20 years ago but I still only need the weakest possible reading glasses and then only when the light is bad. From a metre so away to infinity my eyesight is still close to perfect. I usually read books, newspapers etc. without needing reading glasses.
I can only guess how hard it must be to see if your eyesight is worse than mine.
@JG_digister_com welcome to Audiobus! I’m really enjoying your apps. Thank you for listening to user feedback 🙂
Please could we get some more filter types in the JAF Collection for sound design? At least bandpass and notch please?
Thanks!
Yes, this is planned indeed, with the JAF Dual Pro. This is basically a serial/parallel connection of two JAF collection units. This way it is possible to ‚design‘ bandpass and bandstop filters (like on the classic MS-20 filter module for instance) or even any combination between different models. A bandpass or bandstop filter can always be constructed with a connection of an LP and an HP filter. Then the famous ‚rubberband‘ trick can be used to adjust more or less fixed relations between the two cutoffs, effectively adjusting the filters bandwitdh.
The ‚rubberband‘ method is an approach often used with old school classic hardware modular synthesizers. If the 2 cutoff knobs are connected with a rubber band, these can be tweaked together in relation. the rubber band can also be applied crossed, so widening and narrowing can be applied in a fixed relation, just tweaking one of these knobs.
