That´s an excellent app. i have their Brazilian beats (also AB compatible) one, which is more expensive for some reason, as it lacks this one's killer addition: a fully editable sequencer to create your own beats, alter or mix and match sequences and tracks from different songs/beats.. The sequencer is not bad at all - not the most ergonomic out there.. Not by a loooong.. looooong shot - but it allows for the construction of complex rhythms and polyrhythms, and uses percussion notation (which I find useful to learn a little bit more about those). Every beat can be divided to up to 8 subdivisions. Now there is Perfect Drummer of course, but this one can have many more instruments per track and many more tracks per song (I'm not 100% sure about that last one, I only played with perfect drummer a dozen times or so to date.. And I like it better already, because of the probability programming mainly, and also for it's two-hands mode). World Beats also offers an extensive library of decent, multisampled sounds.
@thesoundtestroom it would be great should you make a tutorial video covering this app.. I'd even offer it you myself if this'd help motivate you.. I've figured out how to use it for the most part (still stuck in a few places, some of which I even suspect aren't secondary / could be of significant use) but I work with a new-to-iOS-apps-music-app-scene partner overseas, and I often send him links to your tutorial-oriented overview videos - I'd like to cease this opportunity to truly and sincerely thank you for your noble, sustained, endeavor and persistent efforts so far serving the iOS music community : thank you - when they're available for apps he knows nothing about yet instead of spending hours on international phone line bills to walk him through them..
Thank you very much for talking about WorldBeats. I have developed this application for months to provide a powerful tool in creating beats. Every musical style can be recreated with this app. The idea is to continue enlarging the sound bank and the variety of rhythms from different parts of the world. Also continue working on the development of future versions.
When a video is available I will communicate it here. Any suggestions on WorldBeats is welcome.
Best regards, Jesús.
@Jesús How much are the IAPs in the app? For example, the extra flamenco rhythms?
The majority of rhythms cost $ 0.99, for example (Flamenco - Alegrias) or (Brazil - Bossa Nova). With the application 6 free samples are included.
And what do you get in, say, the Bulerias? Is it just a rhythm, or variations?
The Bulerias contain 4 different types of Bulerías and are made with 17 different loops. Bulerias made with 12 beats or 6 beats with different accents.
Awesome app Jesus. Nice work.
Thanks Jesús. @mgmg4871 How 'human' does this sound?
@jesus hey, great app.. Really. I'm a percussionist and have your previous Brazillian beats but was frustrated because I couldn't modify or create beats with it without going through a computer program that I gave up on even installing on my Mac - which you solve in this app. One request though: is it possible to restore Brazillian beats in world beats instead of buying them again as IAP's one at a time? That would save on money, but also very valuable space on the iPad.. Thx.
@jesus Being able to have beats triggered either probabilistically (like in the app Stochastic or Perfect Drummer), or even a more crude humanize functionality - just to break the strict/electronic repetitiveness in the beats would also be great.. But even without it, this app stands out because of the multiple samples / volumes / hits it offers for each instrument, and the great number of instruments in its sound bank. The user interface isn't the easiest one to figure out.. It stands out also in that regard - you have to really like it to spend enough time figuring out! Some kind of manual maybe, a PDF, or 3 minutes quick demonstrations of core aspects and functionality of the app would be of great help.
If you purchased BrazilianBeats will see that all Brazilian rhythms WorldBeats are available (no need to buy them again) and can modify it to your liking.
We are developing videos and manuals, but you can learn from the application by pressing (i), then by touching on the screen will help inform you about all the controls.
I'm curious about the quality of the samples. The Youtube videos on the Brazilian app sound better than the flamenco app, but may be down to ipad speakers?
The quality is the same, but the rhythms of Brazil use mostly 32 tracks that give more brilliance and richness to the sound.
@jesus I don't know if the restore purchases is actually working - unless it requires for me to actually re-download Brazillian beats app, ie have it on my iPad present when I launch world beats to restore the beats, or if the Brazillian beats I see that are still marked 'purchase' instead of 'download' are extra ones - the only beats I managed to download without purchasing them are the advertised free flamenco ones..
TheMetaphysicalCrook Hi, I'm doing tests.
I want to know if the language of your iPad and the AppStore Country Region is the same.
@jesus i'd love to help - can you clarify your question? If you mean wether I buy my apps from the appstore set to the country I bought my iPad from then yes, and that'd be France, for both. Don't hesistate to post if you need anything else I could help with - just prefix my (impractically long, which I'm starting to regret) username with an '@' symbol (for that'd trigger a notification via an app linked to the mail address i use mainly for subscriptions/registrations i setup for things like that and i'll see it, coz sometimes i might not check the forum's page for a while)
Best of luck, and keep up the good work. Cheers!
I just downloaded the brazillian beats app to test and see if now world beats'll recognize/detect it. I'll do that as soon as I get home, and post the results. (that should be in an hour or so)
Doug, any chance that you'll do a video on this one? Would love to have you convince me (and countless others) to by it ASAP :-).
And, yes, it would be excellent to have a new thread for the video link for it, if you do review it! :-)
@jesus I confirm that upon downloading and launching Brazillian beats the IAP's that are part of the latter become available to download (instead of purchase) in the App World béats. Now i'm back Off to fiddle around and torture these wonderful newly downloaded rhythms! Thx again - I hope a series of short (or long..) videos and/or a manual will soon be available.
So does that mean that there's no technical reason that IAPs purchased in an iPhone app can't later be made available for download in a subsequent iPad only version? Food for thought...
I'm still starving here... Got any more left ?
or perhaps some edible-thoughts / thoughts for food? Someone should come up with that.. Mmmm...(I could eat anything now - I know because I just passed a dominoes - a French dominoes - pizza and I'm still drooling... (A French dominoes pizza's more toasted salt than anything else..)
@PaulB If the apps are universal and downloadable on an iphone.. That should hold true.. Then again, I can't speak for IAP's if by those you mean ones purchased inside World Beats to begin with. But I don't think World Beats is universal - or available for iPhone for that matter. If, however, you purchased Brazillian beats on your iphone and world beats on your iPad (as I did, I'm almost 100% sure.. Or as close to that as my capricious memory can get me, concerning the specifics of a year old purchase... I remember downloading it on my phone mostly because of the great time I had playing with it on the bus (again, the actual, bumpy Parisian bus) on my way home from a seminar that turned out to be as head splitting as it was boring..) And back then i always left my iPad home (mainly because I haven't yet had my iPhone stolen, a couple of month later that year, on a train) switching to it as soon as got home.. so I must have transferred it into it that very same day.) then yes, you should be able to transfer them without any problems...
Damn those bus trips are long and tortuous - and as with every bus/driver in the (quite numerous parts I've so far visited of the) world, operating the brakes smoothly seems out of question.. Or improbably hard to pull off. It can't be that they're all bad.. Or angry! I bet it should have to do with the weight of these machines; that they lie beneath some threshold beyond which a 'civilized' use of breaks (and by that I just mean one that doesn't engage the passenger's motor systems in it's every operation.. Or in some instances, some particularly sensitive/sensitized gastro-intenstinal tracts! - don't ask...) must be impossible within the range of common city traffic intervals ( < 5 - 10 meters). I digress again - my posts and other textual activities conducted in this mode of transportation are increasingly coming out as tortured as them roads are tortuous, and as chopped up/over-parenthesized sentences with too many abrupt bifurcations in every direction as the brutal maneuvers and watch-out-if-you-can-see-far-enough-or over-the-turbulent-shifting-horde-of-cursing-passengers break style that are becoming more and more common place by the day...
My stop! Finally (hope the ride I drifted into wasn't as unpleasant as the one I'm so avid to get off of.. My sincere apologies if it was!)
@TheMetaphysicalCrook, glad to hear that videos are on the way... I'm slow to buy this until I can see and hear a little more...
I very nearly understood some of that...
@TheMetaphysicalCrook The reason is that WorldBeats check if BrazilianBeats is installed on the same iPad. It is no transaction with AppStore.
I dedicate this week to prepare a video.
Ok, great re. video, @Jesús. Looking forward to it!
WorldBeats video
Nice video, thanks for posting it! I wish there were a few more examples of styles in the video.
I worry that there will be a sale just as soon as I make the leap and buy the app :-) That seems to be happening to me a lot, lately. I'll usually just pay the asking price, but it's never fun when the app is 1/2 price 2 weeks later.
@PaulB said:
Hehehe... Yes is know.. Put a guy in Paris to write conceptual work/thesis material, and then have him use his 45 mins bus ride home to check/reply on forums and emails and I'm afraid that's the kind of tortured language you'll get...!
@jesus That sequencer, and the unique detail of it creating and updating notation representations of the beats as you create them, is one of great things that stand out in this app (apart, again, and excuse me repeating it... The everything but ergonomic, complicated user interface..) but I'm sure the latter will become better / we'll get more and more the hang of it with time. My suggestion for the sequencer is.. Bigger! Actually larger/wider.. It seems to me there is a white blank square of unused space contiguous with it.. Why not make it use the whole lower area next to the instruments scrollable list? Or better yet, give it it's own page? That will go a loooong way simplifying/making it easier to figure out but also to work with - for as things are now, the number one cause that ends up with me shutting it down in favor for another sequencer/percussion app is the struggle it takes to stay on the same note I'm editing, when using the sequencer and also, equally as hard in this respect, the space where you drag up/down - left/right for varying strengths/velocities and division respectively.. It's too easy to switch instrument line/track when using them, if one's finger ever so slightly goes over the border enclosing them (notes - in the box they're enclosed in when selected and being edited - as well as, and having the same effect of changing focus of the active track, the up/down-left/right area...)
Again, thx for being so cooperative and open to user feedback.
