I love having no save button!
Whaaaaaat this is the most game changing feature wtffff
This is really good for what it is, a notepad.
I love how immediate it is and syncing to the cloud to go deeper on desktop.
The sampler is enough to make this limitless!
Yeah, I decided to use this for all the random samples I have around. More features for the sampler would be great.
I doubt we ever see a full fledged version of Ableton on iPad for a long while, but this works as a better Lite version. I'm finding some things a lot faster than desktop: Editing notes, switching out samples / sounds. Reminds me why I use hate using a mouse with DAWs and why iOS and touch interactions are better.
Sick.. Thanks..
If people contacted Ableton directly (ie: through the Note app or at [email protected]) and let them know they are interested it would probably be helpful. Even a stripped-down version (like Cubasis vs Cubase) would be welcome I would think.
Right on!
I’ve been checking out some of my other music apps, looking for the ones that are quick when it comes to being able to record a sound or phrase and share button right into the Ableton Note sampler.
This sure makes the Push 2 more fun and accessible. The sheer speed of going from other iOS apps to Note’s push-like pads, discarding non-keepers and zinging over the good stuff to play on the Push just unifies all of my favorite musical toys in a delightfully BS free way. It’s still actually moving a clip from app to app to Ableton to Push, but without leaving the music moment to deal with file managers. This is good!
ETA: It’s not exactly like being able to use the Push 2 to play an iPhone synth or sound chain, but it nets out to “close enough” and that’s awesome.
which apps have you found that can transfer straight to note? ;-)
I’m looking for quick transfer, which is not necessarily the same as direct. iMaschine2 is quick by exporting Maschine file to AudioShare and then zinging over one shots. Also quick as a wav recording of the full loop. Plan for this afternoon is to look at which old apps have those previously useless record in app buttons on the main and see what suits me. This could take a while, I’ve got lots of apps and have really underutilized basic record functions-especially on old apps purchased when I had Ableton on PC and didn’t want to deal with DropBox.
For starters, though, beats from the Lumbeat drum apps are fast to send to Note.
I haven’t bought this yet, nothing to do with price - it’s a bit of a bargain - but I’m on an older version of Live and have limited disc space. No doubt will pick it up at some point though.
It has prompted me to revisit Gadget, which I always seem to neglect, and it’s been an absolute joy. A bonus with Gadget is the ability to load it (IAA only) into AUM and supplement it with my other apps and record the resulting session.
If Note gets an AU, or even just an IAA update, it’d definitely knock me off the fence.
Understood. Aum is good for exporting samples straight to Note Ive found
Yep, AUM/AudioShare does export right into Note.. Big plus…
Thanks..
Edit.. Can do a lot with that in Live..
This is even cheap for just the sounds it has
It works perfectly with Ableton Lite. If you have koala you have a lite license
It’s a pretty cheap way to get some extra tracks with Lite.
I actually can’t remember the last time I was this productive. Midi input is going to be amazing when it comes.
That resample Easter egg as announced on twitter
I’ve got the full Ableton Suite, v10, so I can download Lite anyway. But it just feels a bit of a daft stretch having to install and use a second, limited version of Ableton when I’ve got a full-fat version already sitting on the same Mac. It’s too much fiddling about, and I don’t want to risk complicating the perfectly working setup I have already.
Being able to record Note jams via AUM which I could then export as audio to my V10, would be the best workflow solution for me - but to be honest, I’m having an absolute gas revisiting Gadget - I’d forgotten how good it was.
I’ll get Note when/if they add either IAA or AUv3 compatibility, or I find enough cash down the back of the sofa to upgrade my version of live. But until then Gadget is ticking all my musical boxes for now.
Are all the synth patches mono in this? I haven’t found a single one with polyphony yet - surprised there isn’t a switch somewhere or more being made of this.
In the Files app for Note there’s an empty folder marked « Presets ». Is something planned for this? User preset saving? IAP preset packs?
The app store doesn't make that possible (making it free for Ableton users).
The question isn’t “who wouldn’t buy that” but “how many would pay enough for the project to make financial sense?”
There probably aren’t enough iOS users willing to pay the cost of a full-fledged Ableton Suite for it to make financial sense at this point. It is a lot more expensive to professionally develop music software than you might think and the market is smaller than you might think.
Maybe an enthusiastic response to Note will inspire them to add more features to Note and also pave the way to the experience needed to go farther if a market for pro audio tools on iOS really develops.
“the market is smaller than you might think“
I hear this said so many times that it seems to have become gospel but what facts is it based on? There’s a big world outside of the AB Forum. You rarely hear FLSM mentioned on this forum but I’ve noticed a large number of tutorials for it on YouTube, many in languages other than English. 🤷🏽♂️
If an iOS DAW ever came out that truly nailed the user experience and had all the necessary features and functions…
Yup, our hobby is very niche - our group is probably a large portion of the financial support.
💯 Compared to desktop, the iOS music market is very small. A small and very enthusiastic group just like modular. Social media appears to amplify how big something is, because the algorithms show us what we like.
This used to happen to me when I worked in a children’s cancer clinic: it felt like so many kids were getting cancer, but statistically children’s cancer is rare 🙏🏻
The closer you are, the harder it is to see the whole world around you. I’m going on record to say: I am willing to pay more (closer to desktop prices) for iOS apps to support developers more. Many of our developers create high quality products that deserve more compensation!
This is based on discussions over many years with friends that are iOS music app developers and other developers, like the Audiokit folks, who have shared information about sales of their apps and other apps that show up in Apples top sales rankings.
Yeah iPads are too small for the full thing unless we get a large studio ipad model one day.
Even then touching glass isn't great for most production things if you want precision and speed, so you add hardware, then you may as well be using a computer. I just think iOS and touch devices are better used as complimentary devices as they are designed that way.
In fact I think touching glass will become even less used over time as AR and VR evolve. Even though Ipads will probably always be around I think we've seen the peak. I use my ipad already too much and I don't want to use it all day for production, unless it's complimenting a PC/Mac.
Hardware tactility is better suited for Pro workflow, not touchscreen. This is the case for on-stage as well as studio production.
I know it's not right for most pros as a full DAW because of workflow.. But we don't know what Apple has planned for ipad in the future.
