    This doesn't sound anything like the Blade Runner sound track. Off to 1 star it for false advertising.

    Did you use the right priset?

    Magic Pitch

    Thanks. I like the combination of glitch + pitch so I bought Replicant 3 and will experiment with it and the pitch shifters I have at my disposal: Discord4, Qvox, Turnado ... perhaps I'll discover Magic Pitch is that magical.

    Yeah, Chew on that one.

  • The manual is worth a read...
    It's pretty well written and covers everything apart from sound demos :sunglasses:

    OK, yeh, that's almost as much fun as Sector. Well more like 1/3 as much fun, but at least a little bit less addicting.

    Expecting another Roll, I asked my wife to click the link for me but it’s actually a real video…

    Reading the manual is the real key to unlock this app which is, after this, very easy and a joy to use!

  • Honestly, I don't find Replicant 3 to be radically different from Replicant 2. I never had any issues with R2 and took to it's interface fairly easy.

    I do find the interface in R3 a little easier to use and visually a little more appealing. I figured I'd buy it now on intro pricing since I'm guessing they won't be supporting R2 anymore and it'll quietly go away leaving only R3 after the prices get bumped up.

    Agree. As an R2 user I have no problem dropping $3 on the update. Were R3 a high-priced app I’d feel differently.

    I already fell for that one. I was hoping there might be another one!

    I'm creating a hardcore genre, not a pleasure experience.

  • Does anyone know what the MODE button does next to IGNORE? The Replicator section of the manual skips over it, moving from discussion about Repeats to discussing Ignore, but no mention of mode.

    It looks like some subdivision of the slice, but doesn’t STUTTER already subdivide?

    I’m not entirely clear on the difference …

  • edited March 2023

    After playing with it for a while, getting some pretty cool results, but I can’t help wishing it had parameter modulation the way that Other Desert Cities does … for a whole new layer of creative potential … maybe for v4? Not complaining for £3 mind you.

    I've asked myself the same question, so I send a simple kick drum in R3 to test. This MODE is is relation with the SIZE ; for exemple : if you select "Dotted" in the MODE drop down menu, with a SIZE set to "1/8", than every trigger will be repeated the number of times set by the REPEAT knob on a 1/8d rythm. (I don't know if I'm clear 😂)

    The manual says this...

    "The Ignore switch also affects how Replicant chooses slices for repetition. This switch determines what happens if Replicant is currently repeating and a new slice is selected for repetition (either because its trigger switch is on or because it is chosen randomly because the Random Likelihood knob is set higher than 0%). If the Ignore button is engaged, Replicant ignores the new trigger and continues playing the audio it is repeating. Conversely, if the ignore button is off, Replicant stops playing the repeated audio it is currently playing and begins playing and repeating the newly selected slice.

    Whether the Ignore button has any effect depends on the settings of the Size and Repeats controls. For example, if the Size is 1/64 and the Repeats is 2, then the same thing happens regardless of whether Ignore is on or off because Replicant will be finished playing two repetitions of 1/64th of a measure by the time it reaches the next triggered beat (since the triggers can occur at most every 1/16th of a measure).

    It does, but my question was about the MODE button, which isn’t mentioned in this extract, or anywhere in the manual as far as I can see so far 😬

    It’s clearly a subdivision of some kind but experimenting so far has not provided a clear understanding of what it does.

    What I can see MODE do is to set the 'timing' at which the slices picked.

    The easiest way to 'hear' the effect is to set 'Selected' to 100% on all steps and set the envelope to very fast times (0.00, 1.00 for hold and 0.00 for release) You can then hear the 'grabbed audio' get increasingly shorter as you 'increase' the mode.

    And when you add the 'repeats' to this you're in granular-land.

    So if you can't hear the effect of 'repeats' increase the mode, same goes if you can't hear the 'stutter divisions' increase the mode.

    It's fun to mess with for sure! :sunglasses:

    Thanks @Samu ... I've just been playing with exactly that - Selected to 100% etc with most things switched off to and can hear the repeats getting shorter as I mess with MODE, so I think we've nailed it :#

  • Thanks @Samu, I was also uploading a video demoing the relationship between Size, Repeat and Mode 😅... hope it could help too @craftycurate 😉 :

    Wow, how did I miss that price?

  • @gregsmith said:
    Weirdly not available on iPhone even though the beta was. Anyone else seeing this?

    Indeed. Not on iPhone. At least, right now it's not. It's a question worth asking, as it was on the beta.

    Hi everyone,
    I got a reply from Chris saying that there won’t be iPhone support. So iPad only..

    Oh, that's a shame.

    What is a similar/alternative that would be available on iPhone too? Also, for desktop would be helpful for me. I'll still buy Replicant 3 for iPad at this crazy low price, but it would be great to find a mobile in my pocket alternative too.

    Replicant 2 is available for iphone and is similar, though most ppl will prefer 3, I reckon

    Yes, I have Replicant 2 on my iPhone, hence my surprise that 3 isn't available for iPhone too. Any other possibilities that might interest me in this area for iPhone?

    I realised just now that Replicant 3 is available as a plugin for my Mac, so that would be a solution that would work on that front.

  • Glitchscaper will interest you I'd say. I'm not very familiar with what's available for iphone as I only use ipad, so someone else would need to comment. I actually don't know of Glitchscaper will be ipad only or phone too

  • Do u really need every app on every device though anyway? 😁

  • @Gavinski said:

    Ideally, yes, as I move between devices for all my projects. Musical and otherwise. I seek a more seamless transition between devices, whether writing, recording audio, or creating music or images etc. It's what works best for me. This is for my work, not just a hobby, all of it. I'm just fortunate that all of this is also my passion.

    Me neither.

    What I don't understand is how come I have the beta of Replicant 3 on my iPhone, but they're not going to release it for iPhone on the app store. That's disappointing.
