Fly Tape 2 is out and it’s better than before.

Same in NS2

One thing that is quite nice is that almost everything is midi-mappable using AUM.

But honestly I would have preferred if everything was pre-mapped to midi notes and that the plug-in would output midi as well.
This would make performance recording a lot easier. Just select FlyTape 2 as the Midi-Input in a sequencer and record...
(Speed could be midi-note 36, sat, 37, mute 38, rev 39, warble 40, lo-fi 41, brake 42, stutter 43 etc, etc...).

All the buttons on the different 'fx pages' are mappable so it's easy to both enable stutter and change the stutter-rate using a controller.

Since there are so many parameters that can be mapped 'mapping' becomes a chore, midi-mappings in AUM won't work in Cubasis, BM3, NS2. And when loading another instance the mappings have to be remade...

Someone likely had a minor glitch in the logic department when creating the app when it comes to midi

Hosts that can record AUParameters do not suffer from this but those 'hosts' are pretty rare...

Cheers!

Ahh damn, if it was all premapped AU midi I would have considered it for a little NS2 project coming up.

Man you guys are tough. It is just me or do many not understand what FlyTape is all about?

Enlighten us then

I see it as a 'Live Performance Effect' but even then it's good to be able to record and recall a session no?

How do you recall a live performance without recording it

If I’m a dj and I play a live performance with effects during my show why would I expect to be able to recall it? Can you record the knob twist you did live while applying a certain filter?

When I use FlyTape 2 with BM3 and I want to let’s say record what I did and be able to play it back I use automation and when I load the track back what I did was there and played as recorded with automation.

There’s also a video that shows some use with AUM where you can recall fly tape 2 with midi settings. I don’t use or have AUM so I don’t know what it’s called but the video is there on their YouTube page.

AUM can save the 'midi mappings' but If I for example set the repeat rate to 1/32 and save the session it will not be properly recalled when I reload the session but the midi mappings are recalled for the instance where it was saved!

Since both Cubasis 3 & BM3 can record AUParameter automation it's a doable solution as long as every button needed is recorded first, if a parameter was not recorded it will use the default value when the plug-in is loaded and not the last value it had when the session was saved. (Ie. 'Snapshot & Recall' of the plug-in doesn't work properly).

I'll just treat FlyTape 2 as a live-effect when sampling and be done with it...

Cheers!

I definitely understand what you mean and what everyone is saying and it would be nice to have these features, it’s just that I never thought of fly tape that way since the first version. I have apps like Effectrix, Bleass and other for these kinda things, I treat fly tape just like you’ve mentioned as a live effect and if I did something I like with it, I record it or automate it.

I get it. I am just not that interested in BM3 these days and NS2 doesn’t have AUfx automation but does surprisingly enough support AUfx midi. For me it is more about NS2 being the oddball than Flytape not being cool.

Ns2 feels like I am just lounging around on fluffy clouds whereas BM3 is like a jungle gym. Fun but not what I am after right now from the iPad.

I’m trying to really like this app but I’m not getting great results with it. The saturation seems really harsh, I’m not making death metal here haahaha and the wobble just makes things sound bad.
I’m probably not using it On the right sources tho it’s probably better for samples and sample based hiphop than the synths I’ve tried so far

I understand, check out MSXII IG for inspiration:

They use Fly Tape to make their own sample packs.

Would be good to save state so the starting point is set up when you open a set. There are variations within most of the effects

Yeah , I’ll let them know

No state saving...🤨

Also I miss a depth control for the warble... I need more subtle

Exactly how i feel regarding the warble. It’s awesome but a more subtle version of it would be golden

Bon_Tempi

I get a very annoying “klick” sound in almost all cases after releasing the “REV” button again -

Anybody else experiencing this with FlyTape 2?

I tried various other “rev”-capable apps on the same material and haven’t experienced this ... weird!

Or might it even be intended in the end?

reasOne

The warble needs some control for sure, they are all very busy

I see this is on sale. Reading this, seems it might not be worth grabbing?
