  • @ExAsperis99 : fwiw, I am not a fan of Poseidon or TeraSynth or MicroTera ( this not to say they are bad; they just call to me), but I really like AddStation. And I think it is very much a matter of personal taste.

    I do love quite of few of his effects apps and use AudioLayer lots.

    Thanks @krassmann, sounds promising. I suppose the BM3 sampler is still the most powerful on iOS, but it's good to have AUv3 and EXS24+sfz import.

    True, BM3‘s sampler is probably the best but it’s not an AU. Personally BM3 is not for me, so AudioLayer is the best I can get.

    FF creative fx bundle is out. Showing $35 for me but I have Saturn 2. So it would be $17.50 each for timeless and Volcano. Been buying fx lately but I’m gonna have to do this…. If you bought two already you’d get the third real cheap. Maybe someone could chime in with full pricing?

    https://apps.apple.com/us/app-bundle/fabfilter-creative-fx-bundle/id1596286291

    If you have Timeless 3 and Saturn 2 already the new kid is $3.01

    12€ here, I own Timeless and Saturn, both bought when released.
    Im not interesting in buying/using Volcano but for 3$, it allows me to support FF … ok, 12€ is not much for a FF app but Black Friday is comin 😋

    Does this mean that FF Black Friday has started in some countries?

    I don’t think so none of the apps are discounted in price. This is just the new bundle. However since these apps are newer and in a new bundle not sure they will be discounted too. I hope so, Im holding out a little just to see if they are….

    Thanks, @bygjohn. It looks like all Virsyn/Harry Gohs apps are up to 70% off, with some at new lows - https://apps.apple.com/developer/id382428644

    I'm sure Popps or someone will be along with the obligatory screenshots.

    AudioLayer for $9 is incredible value. It's worth it for the integrated orchestral library alone. The other one that appears to be 70% off is Addictive Pro. Nobody makes additive synthesis more intuitive and AP is the pick of Harry's additive synthesis apps (although it can be processer intensive on oil older devices). AudioLayer isn't without its faults but there's no better multi-sample app on iOS.

    This. I would rush to pick up Addictive Pro at this peanut price if I didn't have it :)

    Same ! Virsyn/Harry Gohs apps are amongst my favorite ones.

    They just have that sound...

    Honestly curious. What do you like about that sound? I bought so many Virsyn apps before I realized: I can't stand that sound. To me they all sound brittle and reedy. I put Toneboosters' Flowtones in the same category. I can obviously find a patch I do like, but it takes a lot of coaxing and the presets are all unappealing.

    I am wondering what genre of music you gravitate toward? I don't want to derail this thread any further, but I wonder if there's some correlation between certain synths and certain genres.

    I think where things go wrong for some folk with VIrsyn synths is that they attempt to create thick creamy analog timbres and find that they’re fighting a losing battle.

    My take with Virsyn is that iOS is already really well served by high-quality virtual analog, wavetable, and FM synths. Virsyn synths tend to excel at timbres with a thinner crystalline quality, in many ways they remind me of the evolving icy personality of many Korg Wavestation patches (Cube Synth Pro takes that whole vector synthesis schtick to another realm). Virsyn synths are great at pads and textures that cut & slide into place in arrangements with other warmer thicker tones already in place. They also make it easy to create plucky keys and guitar-style patches which have a significantly different quality to those derived from subtractive and FM synthesis. I'm not saying that they're better but they broaden the palette of options nicely.

    That's not to say Virsyn synths can't do warmer tones, Posioden is capable of very convincing virtual analog style patches and AddStation has better VA filter templates that get you closer to a VA sound with less effort if that's what you're after (I like using AddStation for brass patches that purposely have less of that classic sawtooth bite).

    All Virsyn synths can benefit from a decent saturation/tapeFX/compression AUv3 chain as a post fx to give your patches a little more body. The multiFX that's part of every Virsyn synth can be used with this goal in mind, but I tend to use an AUv3 post FX chain these days as we, fortunately, have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to AUv3 saturation, tapeFX, and colored compression.

    I'm completely ignoring the otherworldly noise jams that are easily within reach through judicious use of randomisation at various points in Virsyn's internal signal flows. Harry has a great knack of providing smart randomisation options that can take you to the outer limits with very little effort.

    This is so helpful. It's like you've just pointed out that not only am I looking at a vase, it's also (takes another hit) TWO FACES. :)
    I definitely had my synth ears shaped by Kraftwerk and am suspicious of late-80s sounds. But I hadn't thought about where these Virsyn synths might fit in an arrangement with the Zeeon/Mood/iSem sounds. And since I just unexpectedly got Volcano 3 for $3.01, I will pick up AddStation (thanks @espiegel123).

    The Virsyn outlier i think is Tera which is a very deep and engaging bread and butter synth.
    12 oscillator type (w/49 subtypes). 4 ADSR, 4 LFO, 4, 4 MENV (7 types, 10 subtypes). FM, Etc etc…programming has its learning curve, the semi modular side scrolling thing..
    Its really a sleeper thats a monster. Capable of creamy warm and digital chill. An unusual breadth on the platform.

    microTera is also something completely different than the additiive type that Virsyn owns on the platform, but still in that digital sounding wheelhouse, And no im not on the Virsyn payroll

    +1 This take is something I hadn’t really clued into either. I was wondering why I wasn’t jazzed by the thinness of Virsyn synths, but I wasn’t looking at the sound in the right way. Thanks!

    The pieces for prepared piano are my favorite of all the Cage music. To my ears they are amazing for being written in the 1940s but sounding like something that could be coming out of iOS sequencers and sounding very synth/samplesque. I'd like to have that sound set to play but it's a bit pricey.

    It’s on iOS, free version and $0.99. Or you’re saying pricey ironically (I can be a bit clueless).
    Any ways it’s beautifully sampled but not AuV3. Export functionality is not happening, I’m writing the dev…

    Same here! His stuff is fascinating.

  • Was it mentioned that all BeatHawk inapps are on sale?

  • @LinearLineman said:

    Worth mentioning again, even if so. I took the opportunity to top up. Some great libraries there for use as an auv3 but I actually still have a soft spot for Beathawk as a quick and fun production tool. Not suitable for all kinds of music production but great for those that it suits.

  • I only recently picked up Beathawk as I stopped viewing it as a drum production suite. I see it strictly as a muiti-timbral sound library now and have picked up virtually every non-loop pack in the library. UVI have always excelled with their soundware on the desktop and even though the mobile packs are little more than sampler's of their desktop variants, they still pack a lot in for the asking price as UVI utilises Flac lossless compression and smart multi-sampling strategies (involving under the hood time stretching) to maximise the patch count with relatively small download footprints.

    Think I might buy noir and fm. Maybe for the euclidean patterns Id make. Like my volca drum but might end up selling it.

    Usually sample for euclidean but bram apps are low cpu.

    Is it worth buying fm and noir?

    I don't think you can go wrong with any of Bram's apps -- especially at $3.99. But if money is tight, go for Noir and wait on FM since it's just a $1 difference.

    Would I end up using both apps for a sequenced drum kit? Not so bothered about a couple of £. I can return app anyway. Which I doubt I will. Using drambo as a host for drums now. I can route via audio 4c to aum. So I gain 7 extra tracks on main ipad also ( tried keeping aum session to 16 ch ) Now I guess i have spares in a standard template. Usually create a drum bus anyway. Trying to find best way to switch from drambo and aum. Using dock because audiobus sidebar cant host drambo when its a host. Sorry to ask here ( maybe better than making a thread )

    Best way to switch from drambo and aum. Is there a way to use audiobus sidebar. Or is dock the way. Or how to bet app switch?

  • Just got volcano 3 for £9.01. Last one i had to get in the FX bundle.

  • @sigma79 There might be a solution here - https://forum.audiob.us/discussion/44969/how-embarrassing

    If not, and you don't want to start a new thread, then probably best to ask in a Drambo/AUM thread. It's getting to be the time of year when people start to grumble about non-sales chat here.

    Thanks telecharge. The sales are like shop sales. Where the thread is the clothes rack and not the instrument rack but you fixed the app switching thing. Seems better than the dock.

    Having already purchased OB-Xd I would expect the bundle to be cheaper. Oddly enough it would only cost me $5 to complete the bundle if I bought the apps separately. Whereas, if I purchased the “bundle” it’s showing that it would cost $9.
