Another Audiokit app, another fail.
And the life goes on
I love AudioKit HOUSE: Mark I, Bass 808 and Saga synth, they are of great value in my humble arsenal of digital instruments. I would love 909 if they add multi-output.
I understand that they slap that ‘pro’ for marketing reasons, never bothered me. “It’s a jungle out there!”
No worries, I've taken a fair bit of 'sh*t' over the (50+) years I've been around and I'm still breathing.
I have absolutely zero clue about how many 'ignore' filters I've ended up but but I see it as their loss
As long as people stay away from personal insults I'm usually more than ok with it
(Ie. if I'm somehow technically 'wrong' on certain topics I'm more happy to be 'corrected' and 'educated').
Cheers!
Yeah, come on @analog_matt , sort out the AR909. Fix that and I’ll start buying from Audiokit again
I looking for this little guy right here. Look at the first post here and it has a tempo until it goes to au and then it is gone. I don’t want the project tempo but the tempo I set in fm to sequence with logic. I moved my preset over from fm2 since this is supposed to be the new and better one. Guess all features didn’t roll over with it.
And the you can create a sound and then transport it somewhere is missing to. Cool feature to create in fm then send that sample to quick sampler while working within the project. Just hate to have to open fm outside of logic create a sound then transfer it back in for the sampler.
Any chance of a native M1 AUv3 version?
KingOfFM is right on the money for me. Stability wise, UI/UX and sound…. This new synth should match so I’m on board
Just hope Digitalism and D1 one day can match that too. They struggle to open in logic.
These are from a different era, not holding my breath on these
Sorry to interrupt the carping: I’m looking forward to this, but also still hoping for an AUV version of the Audio Kit Synth One for which I have a real soft spot.
@AnalogMatthew - I see that an update for Synth One may be on the horizon - AUV?
When I hear PWM I think of sweeping the pulse-width using a SLOW (0.25Hz) Triangle LFO where the LFO waveforms start-phase can be set/re-set when triggering a note.
Naturally both the LFO and Envelopes should support 'Legato Play' and only re-trigger when no other notes are held.
For 'Glide/Portamento' a Legato mode is a must (ie. only glide when doing 'Legato Play').
Optional envelope control over the pulse-width is also handy for some extra bite.
PWM without precision control over the duty-cycle is just a saw-wave thru chorus on speed...
For most people, thanks to things like the iPhone, ‘Pro’ now means nicer, more fully featured and definitely more expensive.
Its meaning has long since been diminished and diluted. Actual professionals don’t need a label to know what to buy.
Whether or not it’s annoying or not to you, language evolves and the misuse of the term has now stuck and I think it’s fair to say that ‘Pro’ as a suffix label is no longer a contraction of the word ‘Professional’.
It’s very much a term relative to the other products a manufacturer makes. Not necessarily relative to anything else on the market.
Your earlier comment made it sound line you wanted it to sync with the host sequencer…which it does.
It sounds from your new comment like what you want is an independent tempo so as not to be synced to the host. Is that correct?
Just give us Synth One as a solid AUv3 app and I would buy ! Some of your synths are good, but the 909 for me is a joke. It sounds far from a real 909. I was expecting something like the the D16 Group VST 909 Drumazon, which is for me the best sounding 909 clone ever made.
You kno> @AnalogMatthew said:
Whatever it takes to motivate you to make more apps. Because I love them!
Maybe that will help.
Yes
I suspect most of us old dudes were in "forums" on BBSs long before the WWW was invented.
Damn straight. Back when 1200 baud modems were a miracle development.
Ha - yeah!
I think I started with an Apple Modem 300.
There is a bit of a difference between being critical and just being kind of an asshole
Programmed my own FOSSIL driver in assembler, just to run the BBS server a little faster. Echomail traveled in days or weeks. That was the time. But I’m not ‘old-dudes’, get out of here! 😂
Ditto, but I’ve had an Texas Instruments 300 baud modem back 1983…
My first computer was a Ti99/4A.
You clearly don't understand how society functions, but I totally agree nonetheless 😆
Hahaha! So true...
Hey, mine too! Spent so much time learning BASIC and playing Tumbleweeds on that thing.
^ THIS. But also, presumably all of this criticism is over the choice of using the word "pro" yet is being leveled before even using the product. That is pretty disappointing considering it's coming from a community which has itself been viewed for years as not being "professional" enough. Maybe that's where the sensitivity comes from, but it seems to me that "professional" is one of those words that has sadly lost a lot of meaning through it's vague and ubiquitous use these days, like "premium" or "deluxe." I'm not sure it matters that much compared to specifics like the quality of the output and stability of the app.
In any case, things have come a very long way and despite an admittedly hit-or-miss track record AudioKit has played a tremendous part in advancing them. In my opinion, those negative opinions should be reserved until we've seen what we're working with here, not to mention how it sounds.
On that note, to @dendy 's point...it would be kind of cool to include an optional "advanced mode" for sound designers that restores all the controls that got cut from the streamlined design.
For my part, I'm excited to check it out and especially knowing Brice and Dean are closely involved since I know they are quality people, lack of grammys notwithstanding.
“Fuck society”
(curious if anybody knows from where the quote is
)
Yeah, I didn't mean to "endorse" society, but on the other hand, it's just a thing that everyone has to somehow interact with it in a meaningful way, except if you're rich or a terrorist 😜
Hey everyone,
Just quickly touching base before a family BBQ on this lovely US holiday. I've seen some great points here and will try to address a few.
Surprisingly, I find myself agreeing with many of you. To clarify, "Pro" in AudioKit Pro isn't about end-user apps, but the parent company of the dev library, dating back a decade now. A bit of trivia, it's actually one of our partner's company name. AudioKit has empowered many first time developers and helped many novice devs create music apps. But, believe it or not, there are great apps using the AudioKit platform, too. (You’d be surprised at how many apps use AudioKit that I’ve seen praised here on the boards as recently as last week. Those great devs don’t have to pay AudioKit, myself, or even mention AudioKit or thank us).
Under the "AudioKit Pro" banner, a variety of devs have released apps to help support the AudioKit project with numerous apps like 909, Looper, AudioTune, Jam with Jordan, etc – All by different folks, and different levels of quality. Interestingly, 909 is going back to its original developer, who's a talented individual from a reputable brand. Those who don’t already know its future, you can find more details about that in the King of FM thread. And as more details emerge, you all will be the first to know!
On my end, SAGA, King of FM, and this new app mark the first time I've lead development under AudioKit Pro (excluding Synth One, a big learning curve!) At the beginning of this year, 2023, I had moments of frustration, even thoughts about parting ways with AudioKit to start my own brand. But, the support of amazing users and fellow devs encouraged me to stick around, volunteering time and resources for the community. Plus, I wanted to donate a follow up for D1 and Synth One. This is at my own expense – sacrificing money, and the opportunity to create my own brand.
Speaking of the community, a friend suggested that making apps was easy. I showed him this thread, and his reaction was priceless (there were some F-bombs. By that, I mean “Why the F--k would you do anything for this community?” 😂) But I'm not deterred. Why? Reasons like this…
A few weeks back, I received an email from a parent, who shared her son Alejandro’s story. She said that her son was autistic and able to make music he loved for the first time using one of our apps. She said he only had 3 listeners, but he was grateful for every one of those people. It made him feel like a super hero. Damn. Put things in perspective for me.
There's definitely been other recent highs – an AudioKit app was used on the chorus of Billboard’s Biggest Song of Year. But messages like the above from Alejandro's mom hit me harder. It’s what keeps me going when I release apps for free or a few bucks. This is my humble reward (and the reward of many iOS Music Devs) for sacrificing nights and weekends to have people shout at me “you and your new app sucks” before I even properly announce the app. And I'm okay with it.
Now, about our new app – You all will have to forgive me, there seems to be some confusion that would lead folks to believe that we said that this new app would be some sort of massive serum / super synth type app? I believe the intro video and other marketing material says “easiest way to make great sounding bass”. I understand many of you wouldn’t have access to this information and haven’t seen the intro video – because hey, we haven’t even announced the app yet!
But I did have to post a teaser after it was leaked 🤷♂️
The irony of this is that our most popular app, Bass 808, is super simple. This app may be much less popular because it has too many controls.
In a nutshell, if you're willing to spare $3.99 for King of Bass, I believe it's well worth it. If not, that's totally fine too. Our last app was free, and we hope you enjoyed it! Maybe this is my swan song, or maybe not. Either way, I hope to keep creating for the community that enjoys my little style of music creation tools – everyone has their own needs and style. After years of working with students and musicians of all skill levels, I’m simply happy to be part of people’s story to create music.
PS My first computer was also a TI-99. I learned to code by entering in programs from magazines. And, I ran a BBS. Surprisingly, I didn’t have many friends in my rural community in Indiana. Judging from some of the responses on this thread, I still might need to work on making friends. J/k Y'all are alright. Glad you're all so passionate.
Ohh, that's an interesting feature request. Is there an iOS synth you can point me to that has an independent tempo outside the Host? (In FM2 that was certainly a bug, not a feature 😂
I'd be willing to talk to that developer to get some tips and see how that's working out for them. I could imagine the support emails would be through the roof if not done correctly
Good thing this isn’t Forum Pro …just saying(humorous snip)
@AnalogMatthew do what you do, I love what you do. Most of the stuff I have from AudioKit was like candy bar cheap or free…so I have absolutely no complaints. Sometimes the people in here make everything their battle…could be a bad day they are having or whatever…most of them mean well. I literally think…they ‘mean’ well. This place is a good example for toning your people skills…cuz you gonna need that in audiobus forum…periodt. Hahaha, lbvs.
Cue in the hate…from the forum fan crew. It’s widely discussed on other forums how this forum is, and it’ true in many cases.
Everyone have a beautiful or ugly day,
At the end of it…it was your choice,
smilezies!
