I don't do rentware.

Hi everyone, first we want to say thanks for all the great feedback. It is wonderful to hear both the good and critical reception from our Beta testers and community.
As we (Herrmutt Lobby aka Druw Audio ex HLO) are a group of Artists who have worked hard to get to this point with the launch of BEATSURFING, it's extremely important to us that we create a product that enables artists to create and feel heard.
We quietly launched BEATSURFING 2 this week to get a feel for how the community would react without us pushing our app publicly and to gain valuable feedback in this Early Access phase.
Our focus for the last year was on the technology and getting the gratification feeling we created in Playground, (and give you the opportunity to build your own maps) with a full intuitive editor for music nerds like ourselves. As we are artists and not businessmen, we did not focus enough on the payment model and went with a subscription.
Just before launch, Loopy Pro came to life with a perfect payment model. We liked the idea of pay now, own forever yet were not sure how to implement such a thing with our apps model.
This was mostly because, the key element of our app, is the instruments, and the interactions you can create by connecting them. This has always been the behind-the-scenes secret sauce of our first app BEATSURFING and then our second app PLAYGROUND. Creating each one takes a very large amount of work, both on the creative side and then the developing and implementation side.
Additionally, we are working on instruments with a long list of Multi-Platinum and upcoming producers from around the world. As artists ourselves, it's important that we can reimburse those artists for their contribution and hard work.
This week we listened to the feedback from our users, beta testers, and friends. We then had a call with Loopy Pro creator Micheal Tyson, who shared with us how he implemented the pricing for Loopy pro.
We have decided on a similar pricing model, where you buy BEATSURFING 2 now and keep forever all the features and upgrades released in the following 12 months. Then if you decide to, you can upgrade again and get the next 12 months of features.
Either way, you own the app for its lifetime and will continue to get bug fixes. The app itself will remain free, with a very extensive feature set free for all. We will also soon add in a feature to trial the full paid version for 7 days before paying.
We are implementing the changes now, and anyone who purchased before the change will be refunded. The changes should be in effect in the next few days (subject to the Apple approval process).
We hope that you will join us on our journey with BEATSURFING 2, and continue to let us know what you like and expect from us. As always just give us a shout on social media or email us at [email protected] and we will get back to you asap.
Thanks again!
p.s. In terms of added features, here is what we are working on right now, besides new instruments and bug fixes.
Gesture looper
AUV3
Midi-in
iPhone & Androïd version
Thanks, I think that's a good decision, I'm definitely more interested now and I wouldn't be interested in a regular subscription model.
Excellent move on all fronts. It makes it so much easier on me when I can support an app without having to weigh out all the pros/cons and have that internal debate with myself. Definitely a decision that is going to entice a lot more people to drop some loot I think, I will be now.
IAP: BIG yes
PAYED UPDATES: BIG yes
Subscriptions: no
@Erik_Beatsurfing Simply, thank you!
totally agree
@Erik_Beatsurfing Thank you so much for hearing the feedback and taking constructive action on it! This is wonderful news and I look forward to supporting you guys.
Excited to hear that! Definitely the best route to go, imo. I downloaded it the other day but haven’t had a chance to play with until today.
This is awesome and a great way to run a business. Will support

Thanks, everyone, we really appreciate the kind words.
Here is a page we just knocked up, it links out to each instrument with how-to and tips. It's a little rough and in V1, but will give you some insights into the instruments available right now. I should mention, even the paid ones you can try and use, it won't let you tweak their parameters. There are still 5 instruments that are 100% free though in the current version.

Will the audio unit be multi-out?
Thanks a lot for listening users.
this thing is very very cool. i’m surprised it’s not being talked about more. it’s so much fun. I cant wait to see the new non subscription pricing that will soon be available! so great to see more developers that listen to what their users want.
We love the idea of multi-out, not sure though the timeline on that. It's not a priority for the moment, but we do have it on our wishlist of features.
Thanks again Eross! We actually silently launched with the idea to wait to see what feedback we get and what bugs/issues we may have missed in beta testing. Will go big on announcements later this week for sure. We have some incredibly talented developers, producers, and some big-name people in music tech on as creators, advisors, and investors. we plan to do big things for sure
Thank you for answering that one.
I am fine with a well working multi-track record function.
Great app. I’ll be getting it as soon as that button works!
There's an issue on ipad 9 where it just quits repeatedly. Mostly when going from edit to play environment. Sometimes when tapping the audition space in edit.
Thanks, we noticed that in our crash reports and made it a high priority to fix. Which os version are you on if I can ask? hope to have a fix asap.

how is the payment update coming along in the app store ? i’m so ready to click that purchase button and be able to use all the instruments and features in beatsurfer.
15.3.1
Please God let this app turn into the iKaossilator killer when it comes to recording melodies visually on screen.
@Erik_Beatsurfing Am I doing something wrong or performance recording isn’t working yet? Can’t manage to make it start…iPad M1 iPadOS 15.0
I’m able to record my performances. Just to clarify, you mean record the resulting audio from your performance, not the gestures, right?
Right. Multi track record or stereo mixdown, last button top right in full screen mode
Thanks for reporting the bug!
There seems to be a bug where it does not indicate the recording is actually happening or stopped. I can see a similar thing on a test device. It is however working, just no indication (at least on my test device) You can find the recordings on the devices files. Try what I did;
Tap rec.
select recording type.
The stereo mixdown is one file. Multitrack will create different files for each instrument, all the same length.
Tap ok, the recording has begun (even though it is not red and doesn't seem so)
Play for a bit, then tap rec again. Recording stops. (again no indication)
check folder> My iPad > Beatsurfing 2 > Performance > NAME OF MAP
You should see a different folder for each recording.
Let me know if that works. I logged a bug for this issue now, THANKS!
Today Apple asked us to resubmit the app version along with the iap. They said it should go quick, as we applied for emergency updates. However, they said the same thing Monday and now it is Wednesday evening. But it has been re-submitted. Hopefully, it happens in the next 24 hours. I will update you once it has.
excellent thanks for the update.
