I often receive alerts from AppSliced saying me that the app is now at 0,00$. I don't know why.

I suggest waiting for EGPulse to get ,even as an IAP , Segments sample engine. But if you don't have other drum/beat machine it's great app

Just bought EG Pulse. The workflow is what I like most about it - there’s more than one way to do just about anything, so it’s easy to learn and quick to get results.

I make few use of those Apps already, so does EG Pulse offer something unique?

id get segments over pulse

Yes. It does a few things those apps don’t do. Also, by adding Pulse and Patterning 2...you get 2 more app icons to add to that last drum folder which honestly looks a tad bit sober for an appaholic.😂

hahaha hilarious

I might be in the minority here, but I’ve never looked at Audiokit’s Bass 808 as a “drum” app. I only use it for bass lines and keep it in a folder with all my other “Bass apps” like BASSalicious 2 and iBassist. (But that’s just me!)

With that said, EG Pulse (and sEGments) are amazing apps and must buys IMHO.

I also noticed you’re missing Drum Computer. That’s another must have! Incredible, just incredible drum app that I, and many here believe no “drum app collection” should be without.

That’s just my 2 cents of course. Honestly, while EG Pulse is a great app for drums, I never use it. Lately, if I reach for some drums, it’s Drum Computer all the way, or one of the Lumbeat drummers. You can also never go wrong with Drambo for drum tracks.

EG Pulse has multi AU output, so each pad can have its own output in AUM which can be great for mutes, individual effects or launching clips!

@tja Pulse is kinda just another xox drum machine. I noticed you don't have Poly 2 in your list though. As a melodic and percussive generator I think you'd be better of with Poly 2 while it's still on sale, for variety's sake

Hmm it never occurred to me that I could use MDES on my guitar signal chain. @McD @SNystrom

I’m off tomorrow and will definitely be giving that a try!

Totally! There are certain filter/sat/fx apps that can be used with guitar all by themselves and without an amp sim, and they have no business being as good as they are in this way. In this concept they become sort of a preamp or loadbox, not unlike what PSA1000 does. Then you pair them with a proper IR and it’s quite amazing. I think the apps used have to be of the highest quality and fidelity. I love using some of the FAC Chorus presets plus an IR with a guitar, and that’s it. You can even play guitar with FAC Chorus standalone and get a sense of it, the “Fifthiver” preset is beguiling polyphonic goodness. @espiegel123 has mentioned that pairing only Saturn 2 with an IR can sound as good or better than “guitar amp sim”.

I wouldn’t completely shun proper guitar amp sims though. They do offer a certain recognizable realism to the guitar tone since they are optimized for guitars.

Now I’ll be able to use my Peavy Bandit (Red Stripe) “Trans-Tube” with MDES in the input chain before my BOSS GT1, and feel like I’m actually playing through a tube amp?

Can’t wait to experiment with this setup! Though I always have to wait until the family will “allow” me to do so. (They’re not always fans of my loudness when I fire up the guitar amps!) because it’s usually late in the evening when I get these chances...

This is one reason why I love this iOS platform for these “virtual guitar rig” stuff, in that I can play quietly for the most part with headphones.

If you are sending the output to an actual tube amp, a digital simulation of tubes in front of the actual tube amp may not improve things. The reason folks like the MDEs is it adds some “analog character”.

Yup. And Bass 808 definitely needs to go in a Synth or Bass folder

Edit: and do I really need a Tremolo folder for ARTremolo and Eventide Undulator? And where the hell do I put Pumphouse and Bless Sidekick?
Sorry maybe I should start a separate "Folder Fetishism" thread!

Poppadocrock

Yes it’s one of only 2 AU sampling drum machines. I bought Pulse last night even though I have Digistix and just got Drum computer, skiiid.

Yea I had segments too so wanted that combo.

I went a little drum crazy this year... lol.

SeekBeats is also special (although not AUv3), but Patterning 2 remains my favourite of all drum apps.

How’s your sample library?

You’re not in the minority. It’s a Bass app, But some of the Bass sounds have a kick quality. I mean the 808 is a drum machine, but this is a Bass app.

There seem to be a lot of eg pulse users here, so I try to put the questions from the other thread here.
For context: I want to get a similar workflow to launchpad but inside AUM. I‘m using LK and Beathawk which seems to be working as intended. On top I just found out about appleloops in BH (time stretch with host tempo change 💪🏼).
My questions:

• can EG Pulse handle appleloops like BH or maybe even better?
• How is the bpm detection and time stretching without appleloops? In the description it says it works on 4 bar loops. Does it work as expected? Why can it only be used with 4 bar loops? 🤔
• How is the pitch detection and shifting? Reliable? Should be helpful for that launchpad workflow.
• Is there anything else Pulse brings to the table to that particular workflow?

I like this hot sauce tangent. Tang-gent. Any recommendations in Canada from you capsicum connoisseurs?

Another little eg pulse question, is the sample reverse just something you can do as an edit to the sample, or is it something that can be some on a per step level in the sequencer?

Pulse doesn’t preserve time when pitch-shifting. It doesn’t know about AppleLoops. It doesn’t automatically time-stretch loops when changing tempo from what I can tell. Also, it’s patterns are limited to one measure. I find it handy in some circumstances. BeatHawk is better for using AppleLoops.

Also, nothing on iOS does time-stretching or repitching without changing time as well as BM3 as far as I know.

Poppadocrock

@Krupa Play with standalone. It took me about 5 mins to realize I had to have this. Held off for a couple weeks, waiting for possible BF discount. And to my surprise they actually took $2 off. So boom it was mine, all mine, bwwahhh haaah, haaa, haaa....lol

Poppadocrock

It’s usually $27.99 but on sale for $24.99 through Monday, I think.

Poppadocrock

@tja I see you kept the old DM2, and got the new one, after that odd App Store thing, I deleted the old one when developer sent me a new code, but I wish I woulda thought of that, now you could have 2 DM2 instances. Old one won’t get updated but still... I’m an app hoarder as it is though, I have trouble parting with apps I barely use unless I know it will be in the App Store for a long time, and then only maybe. I’m always worried some of the older ones I have and barely use might some day not be there any more. I know I barely use them but what I need to or want too for some reason, lol. That’s the other side of appaholism anonymous, that doesn’t often get mentioned. Buying is the first part, hoarding is the other. Lol.

I think you can do one or the other, or both with sEGments. Speaking of time and pitch.

I see that segments also supports appleloops 🤔
But I can only load one file per instance, or am I mistaken?
I‘ll experiment with my Beathawk template a bit more later tonight. Maybe I don’t really need anything else. Repitch would be awesome, but I think I can live without it.

Pulse does proper time stretching and you can sync it to tempo, the implementation is just super clunky compared to segments. If I remember rightly to sync to tempo, you have to go in and edit the pad again, but not 100% sure.

The fact that you can slice in segments then go straight to pulse is too good to pass up IMO

As I said, it won’t automatically sync time stretching to the host tempo. Unless I am mistaken (and I could be), any time you change host tempo, you have to go and set the time for each pad that has a loop - unlike BeatMaker or BeatHawk where if you set a pad to be time synched it will automatically adjust when you change the tempo.

Has Pulse changed so that it will adjust if you change the tempo or do you still have to go into each pad after a tempo change and tell it the new tempo for the pad?
