  • Roger that-thanks. Man, that’s slightly bizarre is it not? I would have expected free sliding about movement of your sliced up pieces in a new audio editor. So you can press and drag on the 4pockets multi track recorder, but not on the audio editor?

    I agree. I would have expected some pick up and drag action on bits of the sample, like on an audio track in any daw.

    It does have a lot going for it though. It was worth a tenner to me for just the slice to midi feature.

  • Yep I can see the benefits, but the actual audio editing ease would be a high priority for me, I’ll be pressing pause on this one for the time being I think.

    My take on it after admittedly a fairly short time using Neon:

    • Best editing features: Auditor
    • Sweet spot involving recording, editing, and playback or performing: Neon
    • Creative inspiration and performance: Koala.
    • Great, but not sure how to categorize: Drambo Flexi Sampler

    They're all great but excel at different things.

    On a side note, I think I like Neon's transient slicing the best. All others, including Auditor tend to slice a little too far past the initial transient for my taste. But, this is just a quick first impression. ymmv

    In Auditor I find it chooses dead on or slightly ahead. What is weird though is it chooses lesser amplitude transients but totally skips obvious ones. For example if there’s 4 obvious kick hits it chooses 1, 2, and 4 but not 3 no matter how I adjust the settings but it does choose a low amplitude hat hit. 🤔

    ymmv…. I had to look that one up @wim. I thought for a minute that you were maybe just finishing off a digestive and a cup of tea 😃. I’ve been watching the videos again.. I could probably achieve with it what I am looking to do, and it is an AU, so that’s a big bonus. I could just go mad and throw that tenner at it to see how I get on with it. It might just work out to be exactly what I’m looking for if I can work in a change or two to my expectations/workflow.

  • Is neon as good as capturing audio via midi or screen like koala ( I think )

    but with a timeline. Already bought multitrack recorder. Wondering if I should buy koala auv3 and use multitrack recorder ( which I never used ) or buy neon. Or koala and neon. Dont really need a timeline for drums. So when pressing play. It would be mangling drums and dealing with synth sequences.

  • Obviously need a timeline though.

    I had a go with the hot pants break here:

    I think it’d sound better without the timestretch as you can hear it as soon as it kicks in.

    Still cool we can do this sort of thing on iOS.

    PS @wim this actually sounded better in one shot mode as I moved the midi around slightly.

    This is sort of like what ReSlice does, right?. How do Neon and ReSlice compare for this purpose?.

    Also I’d like to ask if anyone has done whole songs with multiple instruments and parts in Neon… say 3 guitar audios, 3 bass, 3 guitar2 audios… that’d mean 9 Neon instances . I tried doing this with Enso and it wouldn’t cope past say 4 instances.
    Use case, (I’m not on Loopy Pro beta… ) launch audio files from LK to do song parts.
    @gregsmith youre on Loopy Beta and have tried Neon… maybe you can shed some light… cheers!

    I don't think ReSlice has the feature where you can export the midi that will play back the slices, keeping the groove. That's a FL Studio feature I've missed for some time. You also can't warp individual slices to fix up timing mistakes.

    Other than that, ReSlice is better featured in the slicing department while Neon has more audio editing features.

    ReSlice can export a midi file to reproduce the groove . But for some reason Reslice only does it if you use the option to email the preset. You don’t actually even have to email. You can save it in your drafts folder. It is slightly annoying but handy.

    I just tried and I can’t seem to export midi… I’m pretty sure I’ve done before!. Me confused.

    To export MIDI from reslice, tap on its Share icon in the menu bar. In the window that comes up, tap on the middle icon at the bottom of the window (after having tapped ' All Slices zipped'). That will bring up a mail message that includes the preset, slices zip and the midi file. Either send it or tap the close box and save the draft to save it into your draft mailbox without having to send it.

  • Ok, I just emailed myself, no midi, just wavs. Same as saving to files…
    I’m pretty sure I’ve gotten a midi file before and didn’t have to through the mail…

    That’s surprising. I’ve never seen it not work. Can you post a screen capture? Maybe I can spot a difference in process that’s relevant

  • Bought. Will probably make music now.

  • just got neon and i think it a great tool!

    is there a way to reselect a loop range when i change it by accident? would be nice, if this was something that was tracked by undo history, too.

    That would be good! Maybe ask Paul. He’s not replied to my email so if you could also ask him about speeding up samples that would be great 😉😂

  • @nuno_agogo I believe that the latest release of Neon (1.08) has a ‘Lock Selection’ option available by long-pressing the Select button.

  • Neon is on sale right now.

    Ok, that’s way weird… I don’t have the apple mail thing so I used Gmail, only wavs in gmail, same as exporting wavs.
    I just tried with your method and you’re right, there’s the midi file!. But since I don’t have the mail program it’s not sending it, it’s just there… it’s so weird that the only way to get the midi file is through that mail function.
    Did I dream seeing this midi file before?. Cos I’m pretty sure I never emailed it this way before.

    I have never found a way to get that midi from ReSlice any other way. Yon can cancel the mail message and choose ‘save draft’ and pull the files from that draft without having actually mailed anything.

    I guess not enough people have ever contacted Harry (@virsyn) about this for him to add the midi file to the normal export.

    thanks for the hint.

  • Is there a manual for this on the web anywhere?

    No manual, but multiple YouTube overviews and tutorials, and Help documentation within the app. Here's the initial overview:

    It’s worth watching the videos even though it’s a bit tedious. He goes over lots of things that you wouldn’t necessarily find otherwise.
