    @Janosax Appreciate the recommendations. I've got that Mark I on my list, along with the 909 and Retro Piano. Miffed that I missed the Retro Piano when it was free.

    Electric Vintage (on sale) is very nice too (I prefer it over Mark I): https://apps.apple.com/app/electric-vintage/id1518380765

    See:

    Thanks 🙏 I didn’t remember this one. Just bought it and just fall in love with it!!!! ❤️ it’ sounds very refined and emotional. House Mark I is still good to have, sounds colors are different.

    I’m thinking about LayR. Is it still a good synth in 2021? Stable and bugless? Not too hard to make it fitting in a mix, as it’s so rich sounding and evolving?

    It's reliable, in my experience. Massive patches will consume more CPU. 'Instruments' and/or their 'Layers' can be soloed.

    Small UI - double-tap to zoom in. It's deep, takes a while to learn, and may not be the most exciting, but a very useful app to have. I often just run it standalone with a hardware sequencer. No AUM and multiple instances required for multitimbrality.

    It's massively multitimbral - 'Performances' are made up of one or more 'Instruments' (timbres), and 'Instruments' are made up of up one or more 'Layers'. 'Instruments' can be assigned their own MIDI channel. It supports up to 8 outputs, and the AU is multi-out. 'Performances' and 'Instruments' can be saved and loaded individually.

    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

    I don't have any of the 3. Bundle price for me is $54.99.

    FabFilter Creative FX Bundle is now $59.99.

    Crap. Hopefully a sale is forthcoming…

    Did you ever get DigiStix 2, @Poppadocrock? If not, are you considering it this go around?

    I have not upgraded yet. Getting a gift card tomorrow or Thursday, and yea I think I am going to get it. It’s a good deal, I use DS1 a lot, so it makes sense.

    Do you own it?

    No, I'm considering it, too. It's twice the size of the first one, and thought you might know why. Samples, maybe?

    I'm sure I can make room for it, but like you I'm cramped for space.

    Sorry.

    I guess I was trying to point out that the free version isn't like some free apps that are pretty much crippled unless you pay more.

    Animoog Z in free mode runs as an AU and you can load your old Animoog presets into it. That might even be enough for me - no IAPs required (if I don't weaken and buy them...).

    As they are on sale I should mention that a number of the Klevgrand apps got this update in the last couple of days:

    Updated keyboard
    Midi support
    Export/import presets

    I don’t know if that meant that some of the apps did not respond to external MIDI in the past. This set of updates may now make them more worthwhile purchases than they were when they were originally released and reviewed.

    No cello in Beathawk.
    Best options are GeoCello or Swam Cello.
    If you still want samples, you can have cellos in Korg Module KA Orchestral. Another best option is to get AudioLayer now while it’s on sale. You can load free samples (as well as paid if you want the very best) and set the velocity zone/filtering as you want for expressiveness.
    I am currently getting the best strings/brass ensembles possible on iOS thanks to AudioLayer because I can configure many layers and trigger them either with velocity + X/Y pad (CC01/CC02).

    ThumbJam Cello is lovely. Emulates the bowing very nicely as well.

    If you need an AU for that, I think you can find something at piano book and use it with the free decent sampler.

    This midi controller sandbox(?) looks really interesting ($4 usd off):

    https://itunes.apple.com/app/id1538781007?at=11l3KP&mt=8&uo=4&ct=35077420

    MusiKraken is an Experimental MIDI Controller Construction Kit.

    Make music using your hands, face, voice or by rotating the device!

    Choose from several types of modules in the editor and connect the ports to create your own MIDI controller setup. Use device sensors like Touch, Accelerometer, Microphone and Camera (face tracking via ARKit and depth sensor) to generate MIDI signals. Route the MIDI signals through effect modules to split chords into separate notes, transpose them and send them to separate channels to control multiple virtual instruments simultaneously.

    MusiKraken supports sending and receiving MIDI data over Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or via Core MIDI (for example by using Inter-Device Audio and MIDI (IDAM)). And it can host Audio Unit Instruments.

    Important: Please note that some of the modules only work on iOS devices with specific hardware: ARKit Face Tracking and the TrueDepth module need a TrueDepth front camera, and Hand Tracking needs at least iOS 14, and might be too slow on older devices. All other modules should work on all devices.

    Input Modules:
    -Keyboard: Press the keys to generate notes. Slide your finger across the keys or use pressure or finger radius to generate values that can be converted to MIDI events, so that you can control multiple aspects of your virtual instrument directly from the keyboard. The keyboard can also highlight keys belonging to a specific scale and supports MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression).

    -Chord Pad: Select one of many scales and the Chord Pad will create one button per chord in the current octave. The top row of buttons will play the chord in its root position, while the buttons below play its inversions, making it possible to experiment with various combinations.

    -ARKit Face Tracking: If your device supports ARKit, you can use parameters from ARKit Face Tracking to generate MIDI signals! Generate notes or control parameters using your mouth, eyes, tongue or by moving your head.

    -TrueDepth: Use the depth signal of your front camera to generate MIDI data by moving your hand (or anything else) in front of the device.

    -Hand Tracking: Convert your hand position and simple hand gestures to MIDI. You can use one or two hands and it can also use the TrueDepth sensor if available.

    -Accelerometer and Gyroscope: Generate MIDI control values or notes by moving or rotating your device.

    -Microphone: This module uses your microphone and generates MIDI events from the detected pitch and volume.

    -External Input Device: Connect with a CoreMIDI input device and route its MIDI signal through the other modules.

    Output Modules:
    -Core MIDI Network: Use the default Core MIDI network session to send MIDI events via Wi-Fi to your computer.

    -External Output Device: Send MIDI events to any device accessible via Core MIDI. This can for example be used to send the MIDI signal via Lightning cable.

    -Snarp Network MIDI: My own implementation of the RTP MIDI protocol used to send MIDI data via Network. Useful to combine with Core MIDI Network to create additional outputs.

    -SimpleSynth: Generate simple synthesizer sounds directly on the device!

    Effects:
    -Chord Splitter: Splits incoming chords into separate notes and sends these to separate channels. This allows you to play multiple (legato-) instruments simultaneously!

    -Channel Switcher: Change the MIDI channel of events.

    -Value to MIDI Converter: To convert numerical values (green ports) to MIDI events (orange ports), it needs a converter. Converters can convert incoming numbers to Control Change events (modulation, volume, breath control...), Channel Pressure or Pitch Bend events. Or they can be used to generate notes.

    -MIDI Transposer: Transpose MIDI notes up or down

    GSi VB3m for $9.99 - https://apps.apple.com/app/id1560880479

    Comments here on the forum suggest this is a very good Hammond Organ B3 emulation at a fraction of the price compared to IK's Hammond B-3X. Also, 17 MB compared to 1.1 GB.

    VB3m is, indeed, very good. That plus Galileo should cover the bases for most non organocentric users.

    I’m a huge fan of B-3X but v tempted by VB3m as it is universal.
    Is it a significant step up from Galileo (which I can’t go back to now after using B-3X for a year)?

    From listening to comparisons on YouTube I’d say it’s definitely a step up (far closer to sounding like a real B3/Leslie than Galileo). I own both B-3x and Galileo and feel the same was as you…Galileo has its place but as far as a B3 emulation goes, B-3x blows it out of the water.

    And in comparison with BeatHawk B3 sound pack?

  • Paulo164Paulo164
    edited November 2021

    Taking about Beathawk, did you notice the size of the last "Funny Clav" sound pack ?
    591 MB ! Much more than the previously released sound packs, always somewhere around 100-300 MB. As if UVI was trying to deliver on iOS samples libraries closer to what they do on desktop (following iPad's increasing storage/processing capabilities). I think it is a very good move forward for iOS music. I just wonder if UVI will re-release progressively their sound packs with improved quality (ie. higher size) to align on this supposedly new standard. Only guessing here...

    @janosax, the BeatHawk B3 inapp is very limited, IMO,. Not worth it.

    Hello,

    I notice the Nembrini Analog Rack Screamer is on sale for £1.79 (GBP).

    Does anyone know if this is a different product from their 808 Overdrive Pro?

    Cheers,

    Sounds awful to me:

    The first comment on that video says that the newest version has an option to disable the Leslie (direct out). I don’t own VB3m so I cannot confirm though.

    To be honest though, it is kind of weird that drive is always enabled when the Leslie is on. That’s definitely not the case with a real B3.
