@dreamrobe : maybe you didn't intend this, but it sounds like you are implying that he left customers hanging -- which doesn't seem to be the case. His apps are well loved.
Based on a pretty recent thread, the apps worked well. He simply stopped adding new features -- but it doesn't sound like there were problems. In fact, people in that thread seem to think they are pretty great. We can't expect developers to update all their apps to AUv3 and continually add features. The income most devs receive -- even the best -- is pretty marginal.
Thanks for the warm welcome back and friendly reminder of one of the key reasons I stopped participating in forums and social media in the iOS community a few years ago.
Sample end point and trimming are planned, envelopes could definitely be interesting and is something I would like to have as well so I'll bring it up with Matt (Coldcut).
Yes I'm one of the devs, but we have a few people doing email support so I don't always see all of them. In general, if you don't get a response within a few days please send a friendly reminder email and someone will get back to you.
Regarding audio input, it is not currently possible to route input through the Coldcutter, we are considering it for a future update but this feature is not in the works at the moment.
@HoldernessMedia : the app is great. Don't let the shade-throwers get you down. You and your team have created an inspiriational piece of software.
Noted, and agree this would be nice and something we'd like to add in a future update.
Thanks, I appreciate it!
We're working to improve performance on all supported devices including the Air 2.
@HoldernessMedia @espiegel123
Yeah, I second that, it's a rich and deep environment that's only just being explored in the wild - I keep getting drawn back into just experimenting with it despite not being a beat / loop type person - in fact yesterday I used it to glitch a bit of audio from a film piece I'm about to finish, gave it a nice live/random touch that I hadn't been able to make feel right despite numerous attempts in other ways... Looking forward to how this moves forward
Me, too. I am finding it to be a great way to discover new grooves by bringing in bits of stuff that I have worked on and using it to discover new rhythms and grooves that I will further develop elsewhere. And it is endlessly engaging as sheer personal entertainment.
Thanks, I'm glad to see people exploring the audio manipulation capabilities, this is one of the most powerful aspects of the app and I suspect is a bit overlooked just how much you can change and mangle your samples.
Is it possible in a future Update, that the Sample Start- and Endpoint can be saved indivudual at the Sceenes?
Very cool, I love the app. Was making some great noise with it. Can’t wait to see what comes next.
@HoldernessMedia : good to see you here. Crystalline was one of my first app purchases and I still love it and the rest of the bundle it came with, IAA and all. Still my go to for a particular flavour of shimmer even now that I have a shedload of more recent AU ‘verbs and delays to play with. For every negative comment and cheap shot posted, there’ll be at least ten people quietly appreciating the great work you did, and with Jamm Pro, are still clearly doing. Looking forward to more greatness!
Thought the name was familiar! Used crystalline in the very same film project I mentioned earlier while mixing it in Auria, coincidences 😁
@HoldernessMedia Great to see you, since several rumors stated that your apps was abandonware and I always thought it was a real shame, since they are great. It’s a joy to know that will be future updates, even if, imho, the only this “missing” atm is AUv3. Cheers! 🤙
@HoldernessMedia I hope you know that -whatever your experience in the big wide social world might be- your apps are well thought of, well-loved and often spoken of fondly in this parish. Your Stereo Designer is still in my all time Top Ten and (here comes the plug) I would happily pay for it again if you ever updated it to AU as long as you ensure the ineffable magic remains
I second this emotion.
Your FX tools are at the top of the top tier, still amaze, and still serve in ways none other can.
thanks for keeping your promise
Thankyou for the quick response, I would definitely say consider it, this is by far the best solution towards that type of beatslicing I’ve ever used, it’s so easy and deep. On the topic of external input do you know if midi clock is on the agenda? It would make it far easier to sample anything that isn’t the internal mic. Threshold sampling would be an alternative solution. Not sure if the vision of the app is aimed at being a sampler or a premade loop mangler for messing up stems.
Im sure you get tons of tons of feature requests and I know this isn’t my personal app so I’m not trying to push more suggestions down your throat, I’m just very interested in this and would like to figure out how to best integrate it into my setup. are you able to divulge anything else that may or may not be in the works?
If the amount of juice required can be tamed to support my old Air 2, then I'm in.
Thanks for the respect and kind words to all who have responded. It's good to see some of the core members of the community are here keeping the scene in good health! I may post a little blurb on one of my own channels at some point regarding my limited presence on forums and social media in recent years, but now is not the time or place for that.
Moving along, back to Jamm Pro.
I agree that routing audio input through the Coldcutter could be really cool, we'll keep it in mind for the future.
MIDI clock sync is not on the immediate agenda as we chose to support Ableton Link. (Link sync is accessed in the Settings panel in Jamm Pro.) Is using Link to sync with other apps not a good option for you, or are you primarily looking to sync with external hardware?
Threshold sampling is something I'd personally like to see as well and has already been discussed with the team before. There would need to be some additional options for sampling and recording modes as well, as currently starting/stopping sampling and recording is quantized to bar.
Everyone on the team are big fans of sampling and this is an aspect of Jamm that we're all having fun with as well so look out for future updates. For the immediate next few updates, we are mainly focusing on stability and performance.
This is just what my crazy head would have conjured up. Thank you so much for realising the potential of the ipad as a live instrument.
Is it possible to have a future wishlist? And I know the requests keep growing.
I when an individual clip was launch it would be great if the volume could fade in and pos out of that clip. Could that be accomplished by a long hold at the start for a fade in and maybe a long hold at the end to fade out? Maybe the pitch which can be altered on each clip. We could chose to have it either control pitch or volume as the mixer cannot be easily access when on the main page and I can see why since in real estate terms you have made max use of every availble space. Cheers
Hi, Thanks for the info and great app.
Would it please be possible to add a setting when recording that chokes off the monitor input once the record length has been reached? (to avoid hearing both the input and recorded clip until you turn input monitoring back off). I couldn't see if this was possible from the demo's so apologies if it's already a feature I've not spotted.
Cheers
Long hold for fades is something we've discussed actually, but currently would clash with the drilter effects that engage when doing a long press on a clip. We're working on expanding these options soon so look out for updates.
For expressive pitch control for individual clips you can actually play around with this in real time now using the momentary pitch slider occupying the second grid slot from the left for each of the 4 main channels. If you hold the Shift button and tap that slider, it changes to scratch mode (color changes to red) and you can use that to scratch clips as well.
You are in luck my friend, I just added this functionality in the 1.0.2 update that came out a few days ago!
The Auto monitor option should be default for sampling, here is the section on Input Monitoring pulled from JP's online manual.
Monitor:
Controls whether the Input Source will play through and be heard via Jamm.
Even if it’s off, it can still be recorded.
There are 3 settings, hold the button underneath where it says ‘Monitor’ to select from:
Off - the Input Source is not heard, though it can still be recorded
On - the Input Source is heard
Auto (default) - when Auto is on, the Input Source is only heard when Record Arm is on ie the Red Mic is flashing, This works so that when Record Arm goes off , typically by the app having recorded Max bars of the source, the Input Source is muted. As after recording the new recording begins to play, this is handy as otherwise you would hear the Input Source AND the Recording which would be confusing. Auto ensures you hear EITHER the Input Source OR the Clip recorded from it.
Nice to see you back, @HoldernessMedia. Reminds me of the good old days when Audiobus was a new frontier! I was already considering buying this app, but now that I know you're involved it's a total no-brainer.
+1 for live input processing of the coldcutter
Great to see you’re still making apps @HoldernessMedia nice work on this, it’s a lot of fun.
I think mentioned before but would love to see drag and drop ‘slide over’ support for sample import.
Also, if I change start point for a clip it changes start point for all clips, not just the one being edited.
I Look forward to possibility of sample in/out points too.
Being able to type in the notes or CC values for the midi controllers would also save a lot of time over just having midi learn, particularly when using other apps sending the midi.
Nice, fingers crossed
yeah primarily I was hoping to use it with hardware. This thing would be beautiful for adding extra tracks to my octatrack, or mpc, or just about any hardware sampler. The touch FX really are something special laid out like that, plus the coldcutter. Just found a little utility called linktomidi for converting to midi clock so that’s resolved it for me, keeping it in the app would be nice though
I’d always rather have an app that works cleanly than more features. Great stuff people, keep it up
Hi, you probably don’t need me to mention this, but I think WerkBench
https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/werkbench/id522262614
does the live sampling/editing/threshold thing really really well, and already incorporates Threshold sampling. I also particularly like how you can set the jaws of your sample envelope Start and End, and scroll with the gap between them fixed along the length of a freshly sampled input, then immediately resample this cut out onto one of the pads. It makes it’s live sampling chops a good fit for Jamm Pros sample performance powers.
This is fun! I'm checking out some of the Coldcutter presets in order to reverse-engineer them and can't work out how some of the momentary ones work with regards to only triggering certain sections of the loop... it's like there's an extra loop length command that I can't find. I'm setting the slices to play sequentially and the gate to be on for each step, and I've turned all the mods off. But it's still only looping, for example, for 4 out of the 16 steps and then jumping back to the start of those 4 steps (and the 4 steps being played will change each time I hold on the momentary button, to reflect the current position in the loop). Is there an extra control I'm missing? (Please note, this is for already existing sessions, not starting from scratch. I'm trying to deconstruct Coldcutter settings that already exist.)
Is this usable on an Air 2, or should I wait for the promised performance tweaks?
