Thanks @Poppadocrock, got Zoe. Excellent. Recommend it 230 classics and 46mb. We are awash in the riches of music. Kings of yore could not receive such largesse.
All sugar bytes apps are on sale!
Yeah, Sugar Bytes Factory full version IAP is down to $9.99 USD. I need the Easter Bunny to hide my wallet!
UVI apps are also on sale
Can anyone confirm if Beathawk iap’s are on sale?
They are
@MAtrixplan Say word? thank you
Sugar Bytes Easter sale 😍😍😍 I’ll fill all my gaps
Just one question to the community: I am not very experienced with sequenced effects and Sugar Bytes has quite a lot of them. Which one you would recommend to get started and make my first steps into this territory?
Can I jump on this and also ask, Effectrix or Turnado if you had to buy just one?
Looperator is newer than Effectrix, and IMO sounds better...however, Effectrix is a bit more flexible re: length of loops (can have uneven lengths). I highly recommend Looperator, it takes some time to learn but once you begin using the User FX with randomised elements, it's a whole new world of glitchy goodness.
it’s a great wee app, just the thing I’ve been after for years, a wide foray into classical to fill some gaps in my knowledge and help remind me who’s who in that world - good reference for thinking about where to look for a certain mood or feeling when hunting out soundtrack material...
I’m wondering if thesys is the generative MIDI app that will hold my gaze for longer than a session...
Ravenscroft 275 Piano is on discount.
$17.99 - usually around $30 I think

I bought Thesys in a previous sale. I have used it a few times to drive external synths but it requires repeated sessions to really master all the features....so far I haven't given it the attention it deserves.
Effectrix or Turnado? If you had to buy just one?
That decision would be easy for me, Turnado all the way.
They are different beasts though. One is passive (Effectrix), program your FX and sit back and let them occur with the sequence, and the other is active (Turnado) which requires you to turn the kob (or at least automate it) for anything to happen.
I heard this kind of downloading app is against Apple's policy. So it might not survive long on the appstore. You might want to backup an .ipa file.
On balance, Turnado. They are quite different in approach, but Turnado has a lot more flexibility, much better modulation, more options, more variation, more happy accidents. The presets are a bit wild, but with some taming, it can be really useful for both improvised and also a more production workflow. Really worth reading the manual though.
Turnado can also be really subtle and you can go from dry to wet effects in very creative ways with it. It has the wonderful "Dictator" mode where you can bind all the other controls into a single master control in a unique way, so it's perfect for live work. It also has per-effect presets, as well as an overall patch preset, which gives it a more modular feel, so it's possible to assemble a patch from your favourite effect settings.
Effectrix is good up to a point, but I find that each loop of the effect grid can sound the same very easily and there are few ways to alter that within the app. Sugar Bytes is probably my favourite developer, but Effectrix doesn't have that same level of randomness and surprise that their other apps often do, and this is only highlighted alongside Turnado, which excels in this regard.
With a few tweaks e.g. per effect randomisation, more internal modulation options, variable effect lane lengths (for polyrhyths) Effectrix could go up a notch in usefulness for me, and offer a more variable output, but it's still really good though for adding a bit of texture and rhythm to a sound.
They seem to have applied smaller reduction (if any reduction) to Looperator, which is odd, as the newer DrumComputer is around 30% off, but Looperator (which I think is usually £17.99) is showing at £15.99, which is the same reduction they had at Christmas, whereas Drum Computer now has a more substantial reduction.
Have written to them asking for clarification.
LOL, Turnado explained in one song 😂. That helped me to choose.
ElasticFX is $4 off down to $5.99

Man, Aparillo is so tempting. I was able to load the free version in jam maestro, load jam maestro in aum in order to test it’s presets with roseta suite and tonality. I even added model d and sunrizer to the mix and there was no crackling on my ipad air 1. Does anyone else have it on a similar ipad? how’s it’s auv3 performance?
Not 100% sure on this, but I believe Sugar Bytes only has IAP for their "free" apps which are Aparillo, Drum Computer, Factory, and Looperator -- all are currently discounted.
Bizarrely, Looperator has the smallest discount of all, even though it's older than DrumComputer. Just had an email back from Sugar Bytes confirming that Looperator only has a "tiny discount" and that $2 off is the intended price. Don't understand that at all, but hey, they can price however they wish.
All of this. Plus Turnado can be automated via midi much more than I’ve managed to make Effectrix do.
Does anyone know off hand if effectrix has patterns, so you can set up many patterns of sequenced Fx, and what the maximum length of an effect sequence can be, ie. Is it 32 bars?
