It isn't a subsctription. It's a permanent license with updates for the rest of the year of purchase, at the end of which you keep the app.

Oh ok. Gotcha
Although it also has an instant-gratification mode (Flow) that you can use to ease you in by coming up with an endless stream of pieces that you can save when you hear something you'd like to use as a basis and tweak. And you can also create your own Flow channels just by selecting template sets without needing to pay much attention to what's going on under the hood.
Wotja has had an amazing year, particularly with all the new drone presets, the step sequencer, and the new scripting features. Some of this takes you quite deep into the rabbit-hole, but it comes with such a colossal archive of factory building-blocks that you can just chuck things together and dig down when curiosity gets the better of you. They tend to drop the price towards the end of the year in preparation for the launch of the new version, but it's always worth grabbing the old one while it's cheap.

Can anybody compare Synthjacker to the AU instrument sampling in AudioLayer (which I have)? I didn’t find much in a forum search comparing how they compare for sampling iOS instruments, I don’t have hardware so I don’t need hardware specific features.
...assuming the developer maintains all vintages of the app in perpetuity...
Yeah... I recall buying Mixtikl 6 and its packs (before they mixed it with the other apps and became Wotja)
And it wasn't running correctly last time I tried
but I guess Wotja became more streamlined, so there's hope
And assuming that they also maintain support for them, since there is a strong possibility that with each subsequent iOS/iPadOS update certain apps will be broken, and gradually lose more and more functionality. While I agree that this business model may be better than a subscription model, at the end of the day it’s still charging actual money for a non physical piece of software with zero actual or resale value. I think it’s important to wake up to that fact. If for whatever reason Apple were to totally revamp their hardware such that none of the current software would be useable, then think how much money we would all have thrown down the drain.
Personally I’d like to see an end to extortionate amounts of money being charged for such software which capitalises on our greed for more and more.
Come on, surely you can see what’s going on!
I just received a warning from Positive Grid not to update to iPad OS14 - rather late, don’t you think? - Due to the fact that they obviously can’t keep up with the OS update schedule. I’m glad I jumped ship and decided to abandon Positive Grid after they abandoned Bias FX Mobile and replaced it with Bias FX 2 which we all know will never provide all the features they promised.
Sorry to get back on topic: 🙄

Ukulele On!
(I'm getting the hang of this, right @Artj???) 🤓
Yes it’s usually 29.99
It is a great model. The devs are very helpful and responsive too and put a lot of work in over the year so happy to help them put food on the table.
Does AudioLayer have parameters exposed for automation? Is it better than Chameleon? I have kind of a bad feeling about Virsyn products from past experience--is this one good enough to risk the twenty bucks?
Chameleon maxes at 15 samples max. AudioLayer can manage hundreds. Orders of magnitude different use cases.
Funny you feel that way. I get it but only for small degrees of complaint. People want AudioLayer to be like Samplr but for what it does it's more like the capability of the sample playback Sampler inside AudioPro. They both provide disk streaming of very large sampled instruments. AudioLayer includes all the FX of the AudioEffx app too. IN a recent update it added SFZ loading and an Autosampler of IOS apps that can be loaded in AUM as the input to AudioLayer running in an FX slot. Very cool.
It has layers and lots of cool extras for round-robin and release samples and it's deep, deep, deep. Is it worth $20... only if you do the work to learn it. It's tricky to make it your bitch. You will always be it's bitch. Be prepared to be humbled. You might not be worthy.
@McD Fully confirmed. For me, AudioLayer is easily the most advanced Virsyn app. It has made some instruments possible on iOS that were previously reserved for the desktop domain.
It's not perfect, some modulations or MIDI control are either impossible or need external workarounds but as a multi-mapped disk streaming sampler it's unbeatable.

Yeah, I'm probably not worthy. I'm a total n00b at sampling. If there were a patch database somewhere....
Me too... but for many "Bark Filter" takes the prize. "AudioReverb" is simply stunning in it's
execution. "AudioEffx" is a suitable Channel Strip app.
Yes. But morally most of us feel weird sampling Ravenscoft 275 ($36 retail) and providing
a lovely piano patch anyone can download and use for free. It just feels wrong. You can import wave files from the usual SF2 collections too but there are many SF2 players. So, that leaves mic'ing your own instruments and sharing them. Which only takes hours and the SF2's still sound better. I pulled a few simplest from the "Piano Book" project in Kontakt format and imported them into AudioLayer and that saves the mic'ing step and converts something intended to be free to a format we could use and share but then you need a place to hold and distributed GB's of data. Maybe an AudioLayer space on PatchStorage would be good but someone will just sample AUv3's and we have the morally wrong issue again. Tricky.
@Wrlds2ndBstGeoshredr It really depends on what you're planning to use it for.
There's quite a number of ready-made patches for NS2's Obsidian and countless sound fonts for the likes of bs-16i AUv3, maybe these fit your bill already?
Damn, that destroys my logical system!
I'm glad SessionBand has discounts often, allowing me to have quite a few of them without burning the wallet much. They do sound great.
