Exactly. But when it comes down to armchair speculation such as this, so much of what one defines as 'the Bm3 sampler' is blurry and grey. Are we talking the equivalent of a single pad or multiple pads, ala a drum sampler? This is part of the the kind of mass complainy stuff @hansjbs is saying would emerge post release.
From the man himself:
Put me firmly in the camp of those who feel that an AUv3 sampler inspired by BM3's, even without the host integration, would still be fabulous and far, far above the competition feature-wise.
But I'll also say ... I hope it isn't Intua that eventually does that. Sorry, but glacial pace of development, lack of communication and involvement from the developer, and (what I see as) design sensibility that is unintuitive for certain bread and butter things, makes me hope someone else does a BM3 inspired AU sampler. Fat chance given the unlikely ROI for such a venture, but one can hope.
Sorry. I know this is a thread mainly praising BM3. I don't mean to crash the party. I'm just being honest with my thoughts about the sampler discussion only.
Once again I strongly believe BM3 is dead .
If the dev wanted money (which makes sense) , he would constantly add features as IAP , or release frequent major paid upgrades
For now it looks like one man side project
Given the last two updates, what they provided and the spacing of them, I would say 'almost done' more so than 'dead'.
He doesn’t want to do features as IAP, the reason I can say that is because I’ve asked him the same myself and told him about koala doing it and loopy pro but he doesn’t feel right charging for features when he can release a feature pack BM4 and charge for that instead. Not saying that’s currently his plan but that’s what he told me. With that said, I just let the man do what’s best for him and what he believes is best for his company.
Those who want to believe BM3 is dead, cool, believe that. As someone who’s been a fan and using it since version 1, what we call lack of communication has been there since BM1. Would it better if they communicate more yes but it comes with it’s disadvantages as well. The company been this way for a while and I don’t see this changing.
I will repeat it again, BM3 is not dead or should I say Intua is not dead!!!!
As they always say, "Don't hope for features in the future to sell you on a particular piece of kit, when you can use the app as it is today..."
This logic should always be a persons guiding principle when deciding on new tools.
"Will I be happy with what it offers today?"
BM3 = yes
Drambo = YES
Koala Sampler = YES
Add your own apps preferences to the list of course
^this
We get that, personally I miss MG's efficiency and speed on fixing things...
...so I wish V the best of luck with whatever he's still doing
You have to pay the IAP for Loopy Pro if you intend to use it past the 7 day trial...
Also the developer said that future loopy Pro updates/features will be IAP and got some more things down the line. I think it’s a really good model.
It's still technically an IAP
Will be interesting to see what happens after one year has passed and it's time for the 'extended/new features' IAP to drop...
...ie. will 'both' IAPs be needed by new first time users to get 'everything' or will 'everything' be included with base 'unlock' for one year forward?
Oh well, I have no plans to get Loopy Pro at this point...
...still doing my app-cleanup and being very, very selective on what to get.
Cheers!
Well I really hope some dev takes what the BM3 sampler is and brings it to AUv3.
It’s a killer instrument. In fact I like all the components of BM3 but just hate the sequencing and audio rendering which has been broken/weird since release.
It is exactly this. It's not a new version. It's an IAP purchase 12-months after your last purchase to get another year of feature updates.
Don't pay and you still get bug-fixes forever but no new features. Pay three years later and get all the updates to that point even though you didn't pay each year. Features will be rolled out continually, not corresponding to any yearly cycle that's tied to payments and not with new app purchases. If you're paid up you just get all the updates as they come out. If not, you keep what you have, and Michael will provide updates to keep it running.
This is very different from the per-feature or per-version IAPs we're all used to. It's a new approach that seems to be hard for many people to wrap their heads around.
(TBH, I wouldn't buy in to this model with Intua the way they are. For me it only works for a developer that I can trust to have more energy and communication than they do.)
This... totally agreed
Not sure you could've given a better example to make my case.
Serato's 'Sample' is a fantastic plugin. It has great time-stretching and pitch algorithms and has a wonderfully simple and unique workflow. As an owner, I was entitled to a 3-month trial of 'Studio'. Nothing about the full suite convinced me that it was a better option for me than using 'Sample' within a program I've been using for about 17 years. More than that, I'm inclined to believe that had 'Studio been released first there'd have been a majority wishing they could just have access to the sampler to use within their go-to DAW. This is no different to the many people who want Ableton's "Simpler' available in their DAW of choice...and no different to the situation we have here
I actually think it's a great model - A win/win for customer and developer. However, I'd be curious to see their sales figures as they entered Q4. Surely people wanting to buy later in the year will hold off a couple of months to activate their après-demo activation, waiting until the new update cycle starts.
I think what would be incredible is if @elf_audio decided to incorporate the deeper features from the BM3 sampler into Koala. That would be clean up time 🧹
@hansjbs I wasn’t able to contact dev nor create an Intua forum account several months ago. Could you report, if possible for you, that issue me and others have encountered with BM3 knobs sensitivity. Other than that, the app is mostly very stable and hyper capable, I don’t have other true issues with it:

Thanks in advance
for me, the lack of PDC makes it impossible to work in BM3
What is PDC?
