Bram mentioned here or in another thread recently that he has no intentions of making desktop-installable versions
I think the updates you're referring to add a new plugin type "Midi FX" to those of his midi apps that were published before Apple introduced that type. If you look in AUM, you find some of them were originally listed as "Audio Unit Extension" rather than "Audio Unit MIDI Processor". Once originally published it wasn't possible to change the type without breaking people's existing projects, so he just let it go. But now that Logic will not recognize them with the old type, he issued updates to add another plugin type.
It's about Logic Pro iOS compatibility and isn't an indication of a change in policy toward enabling Apple Silicon availability.
Yeah I feel like I’ve heard him say he’s committed to iOS and that’s it. Which is kinda nice to hear as someone that only uses iOS. (I could be misremembering this though).
Well, that’s too bad.
I’ve noticed a dozen or so iOS audio app updates making them M1 Mac compliant. I’ve been playing with them in Logic desktop & all of them have been well thought out and performing well.
Saw the Bram updates and got my hopes up, dang it
Right .Hilda is one synth that doesn’t need any fixing, tweaking, or changing. Asking for more is ……
Pattern shift left/right @brambos please
I also asked for it when I sent him the forum presets. It's the only thing I'm missing in Hilda.
Most generated random sequences scream to move the starting point.
The updates are mainly for the ridiculous implementation of parameter automation that Logic mandates. None of the other hosts need this odd method (and the official docs list it as optional, so Logic making it mandatory is arguably breaking their own standard).
Logic better be bringing in lots of new customers to iOS, because right now it’s just costing me a metric ton of extra maintenance and support work.
Those are exactly the posts where i am glad i never decided to finally jump into iOS apps coding, even through i almost did many times, even started to work on something but then abandoned it 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for saving my time 😂
Same. The lack of proper documentation, official examples, and embarrassingly poor "reference" implementation of AU Support in GarageBand convinced me it was going to be way more trouble than It was worth to deal with. It felt like even working at Starbucks would be better use of my time ... and would pay better too. 😂
I really hope bloody Logic doesn’t result in fewer music apps, by scaring off independent developers.
The whole beauty of making music on this thing has been the amazing, diverse, affordable range of tools we’ve all enjoyed.
I deleted Logic a couple of days ago to return to my previous AUM workflow, but I won’t be investing in the platform in future with hardware upgrades, if that becomes negatively affected by Logic fallout.
I didn't want to throw a wet blanket on all the Logic for iPad excitement/hype... but this is exactly my fear, ie. that the release of Logic Pro for iPad would spell the end of all the independent dev creativity with frequently released cool/creative apps apps to play with and explore.
Yes, I worry how much hassle this could cause for devs of our favourite, more experimental apps. It could also put off other devs for future potential desktop conversions to iOS.
I guess we’ll have to see, night work the other way and bring more developers to the platform, but considering the low revenue already for the more obscure apps, there’s a real possibility they might decide not to bother.
While it would be a shame, I hope and don't think it's the case. I think guys like Bram wouldn't be affected by a steady fan base of cranking out hit after hit. Perhaps newer Indie dev would have a hard time breaking through, especially with so much out there now. I am sort of shocked when I type in Audio unit instruments the sheer volume of obscure instruments I would never have seen or even thought existed had I not perused. At the same time, I wonder, in the long run, iOS would have gotten Logic and big developers anyway, so it's just the inevitable, but I wonder if it'll go the other way. I know Bram isn't interested in porting to silicon although I wish! but ice works/kroenecker is going that way. so maybe instead of indie devs going away, maybe it'll get them a bigger platform and more exposure. That might mean it costs us extra too though, so it's a give and take. (like TB EQ was $10 so I bought it, but I couldn't just "buy it" so easily for $30+ which is why I didn't get FF).
The obscure apps is what my thread was sort of actually wondering. How did such obscure stuff manifest. Im just grateful for Hilda most of all. I bought some of the most user friendly and popular synths, but Hilda was just based on the STR and seeing all the sounds on videos because it's definitely different. I don't know much about synths but it is really really totally unique compared to all the other synths from what I've read and seen. I might be wrong but I think it's the supreme after seeing dendy's video. What Audio'sbus forums awesomest feature is the devs are actually around and can even have cool things like Bram did with having people send their presets. Anyway, I hope its the positive monzoid because like you, I didn't like updating to a less desirable os and then not keeping logic anyway.
Ah, did you do that too! I wish I’d stuck with v15, so many things worked better. Bloody Logic.
I guess the danger is smaller devs with existing apps are going to now be forced to support Logic, whether they like it or not, or face a barrage of bad reviews. I noticed on Twitter Bram had been hit with a load (not sure if they were related to Logic, couldn’t see them in the UK), so I quickly added a 5 star review.
Could put a few devs off, and maybe some older apps might disappear.
Anyway, all speculation, it could all turn out wonderful!
Bram develops creative apps that don’t exist in Logic Pro, or anywhere else for that matter. As long as developers continue to differentiate like that then there should be room for both.
It’s the straight up compressors and EQs, etc. that might struggle going forward.
is there no „swing“ for the sequencer
dibs on "Hilda Don't Swing" for band and/or song name.
So are people using this as a midi sequencer as much as a synth or fx?
I do!
Needs pattern shift left/right to be a useful sequencer for me @brambos
Pattern shift +1
+1!
Bought it, great as usual!
Two requests (sorry)
OR: what would be a nice modulation sequencer that works as midi fx in logic? Something mozaic (one of the very few missing bram apps in my pocket)? Anything else?
Bummer that panflow doesn‘t work as midi fx in logic. Such a nice and simple app for modulation duties.
is there any way to change patches in Hilda via midi or program change? i'm pretty sure the answer is no but thought i’d ask in case i’m overlooking something
Thanks. Good to know. @gsm909 @Slush
I'm trying to use AUM to enable patch switching for Hilda, but when I hit "Add Preset" (see image) it only has presets from the factory banks available. Can anyone please help me figure out how to get my own user presets available here?
AUM sees the presets published (exposed) to it by the plugin of that you have added via AUM’s preset saving. These are the presets you see when tapping the folder icon in the title bar. It looks like Hilda does not publish the presets you add within Hilda.
So, choose the preset you want to be visible and add it to AUM’s list of presets . If you choose the “save in plugin” option, it will be seen by other hosts.
@espiegel123 thank you! this is a great feature now i’m slowly understanding it...really appreciate your help 👍
I cant seem to find frequency (pitch) modulation by lfo of primary osc. Is not there or I'm missing something?
