It'll happen, only a few lines, until the mission creep sets in.
Just about the only only 'tape related' features I would love to see is to be able to sync the tape start & stop to host transport and optionally auto-adjust the tape speed when host tempo changes just like AUM's file player does and I guess this would be pretty easy to add since the app technically already does this when manually adjusting the playback speed.
Being able to import & export the *.wav to / from the AUv3 would be nice. I'm perfectly ok with using the standard Files.app interface for this.
Tape 'feedback' and 'degradation' would be bonuses but could be done using creative routings outside of the app.
I don't feel this is 'too much' ask and would not push the app away from it's intended use-case scenario.
Time will tell where this app goes and what features it will get
Sync to host would be great. I have been managing to sync things up using the sync feature, setting things up before hand of what I want on each instance and then using the pause and rewind and having the metronome going. When you hit record, it also starts from the beginning if you don’t have overdub on
that is very helpful it auto restarts on record, i do like to activate over dub before the tape reaches the end since you can’t preactivate it and get that auto effect, but i do try to get over dub going asap in order to keep looping
Question for the pedal-users.
What would be the best implementation:
My preference would be toggle implementation.
Toggle.
BTW, the utility isn't just for foot switches. It's also for triggering from any midi controller or another app. I'm not sure why the focus on foot-switches.
Toggle tends to be the most common, hold sounds interesting as well though, especially for something that’s more an experimental tool than an Ed Sheeran style thing...
One daft question I have got is, what methods would be best for slowing down the internal sequencer? (I’ve slowed the host so far which works perfectly well but means that I have to double time other things...) That’s probably the only answer but I thought I might be missing something
Toggle here. Any chance slipping the pause and restart onto the MIDI train?
Edit.. Hold, Yeah. Maybe. Leaning hold.
@supadom oh man, nothing compares to fieldscaper. If it were only AUV3. its one of the first apps that got me into iOS production, but sadly i rarely use it anymore.
@brambos I agree, toggle.
Another useful thing would be if "Snap to Grid" could work with MIDI. 1.00x is between 95 and 96, 0.50x is between 79 and 80, etc.
Maybe when Snap to Grid is on, the Tape Speed value associated with 95 could just be 1.00x instead of 0.99x.
Toggle. @brambos
Toggle. 0=>1 records, 0=>1 stops
Please expose via AUv3 as a parameter.
Given an AUv3 param, any host can map MIDI CC or even notes to it, though a default assignment is nice for standalone users.
Bought this though not sure how i will use it as seems mainly for ambient and soundscapes
Still, always good to learn something new
Be sure check out @Gavinski 's video, as it shows techniques for bringing structure back into the chaos for more predictable results.
Thanks, had had a quick watch and was getting some potential ideas
I know I'll be using it as I use all your other apps daily. Just this one will take a bit of playing with first. Besides adding new styles and techniques is what keeps it interesting
Top work on the app, it does seem an instant classic
Thinking about it, I guess if I want that kind of wash I use Enso, but if I'm after something more Gauss-like, I'd use Gauss. Seems obvious, but the alternative is wanting all the apps to have all the features ... but maybe standing back from it, maybe we just use each app for the features it has, not for the ones it doesn't have? That'll be 50 bucks for my pearls of wisdom please
If I could add one feature this would be it, though as mentioned in another post, maybe I'll bring out Enso for that, but it would be a great addition here, esp as it seems to fit with the philosophy of the app very well.
@Hainbach I just picked up Wires VST as well. What a beauty. You should ask @brambos to port that one to iOS as well.
Oh, and if you are up for bringing the hip hop heads into your loving embrace then please reconsider adding that synced recording/looping option to Gauss! It will really open it up for beat making. ✌️
Toggle please @brambos
If the set loop length is reached before a second toggle is received, recording would still end as it normally does?
Really really loving this app. Anyone know what the sequencer timing is based on if not synced to host tempo? Like what exactly is 1/1? Is it based on a fraction of loop length? And can the sequencer steps be set in seconds instead or it has to be clocked like that?
Toggle please
Did Bram state at some time that Gauss is feature complete and nothing will be added? I felt I read something like this between the lines here in this thread
It’s always synced to host tempo, even when host transport isn’t running.
1/1 means one pulse (step increment) each bar
1/2 means one pulse every half bar
1/5 means 5 pulses per bar, etc.
This way (when combining multiple trigger pulse generators) you can create very complex polyrhyhtms
From what I can remember from doing tape loops 30 years ago, this feels pretty authentic.
I can’t find the virtual razor blades, though. 😉
yes

a toggle for both pls 😉
Just had some fun with it on a lovely afternoon. Man, is this thing an Enso killer or what
That would be nice! When I was still a kid I found an old Tandberg reel2reel recorder in the trash and had loads of fun recording and cutting tapes taped them up again. After a while the motor gave up on the Tandberg and it went back to trash
So yeah, cutting/trimming the tape would indeed be quite handy, the 'end' can be adjusted but not the beginning.
they are in the cigar box next to the sketchy altoids container 😂
Got it. Thanks so much!
