AAS Objeq - Create Cool Drums & Sounds from Any Input - Tutorial for the iPad

I liked Objeq when it was first released in 2018.
So I thought I'd give it a go to see how it's behaving in 2023, turns out, pretty well.
The biggest plus with Objeq is that it's an AUv3, so sticking any input through it makes for some very interesting sounds.
Also, you may have Objeq and forgotten you have, in which case it may be cool to dig it out and have a blast.

  • Cool!

    I'm stuck in 'Drambo Land' when it comes to these kind of effects (WaveGuide, FDN & Modal Resonator modules).
    Easiest way to experiment with this is to load Dramo (mFX) as an effect and add a WaveGuide, FDN or Modal Resonator and tweak away :sunglasses:

  • It's great but so wish we could control the pitch via MIDI in...

  • 👀 Thanks!

    But isn’t he doing just that with the lfo?

    For a very brief moment I thought this was Reason’s objekt for ios. My heart skipped a beat.
    I have this app though, and loved it when it came out. Doug’s video might inspire me to dust it off.
    But like Samu I I’m covered with drambo for the time

    Great tips, thanks! I always liked Objeq but this was something else. I'm still a noob with dRambo despite having it for years, but I managed to add this pretty quick, to audio, so the hope livs on :D

  • The results is somewhat similar to the recent GongAmp app when the “metal” mode is used. I think it sounds like a reverb that uses a metal plate or enclosure (which is exactly what the Gong Amp does).

    Yeah... Have to say, I got tired of Gong Amp pretty quickly. Combining tuneable resonators with reverb seems to offer a lot more possibilities.

  • I will sound weird, but my favorite app to use with AAS Objeq is Mononoke.

    Nothing weird about that! Depends what pitch you set the resonator to and what notes you're playing I suppose. Combustor is also great on Mononoke

    Oh really? I’m still really enjoying it so far. I’ve been throwing it on everything just to experiment with it.

    That is why I've honestly gone the 'Drambo Route'. There's even a basic IR loader module (Convolver) for custom impulse response files when needed so It has almost become a repetitive 'Yes Mantra' when someone asks if it be done with D :sunglasses:

    You can modulate it with a CC, so theoretically you could use something like MiRack to send pitch CV out as CC to it - though you will spend a lot of time messing with scalers and offsets trying to get anything accurate.

    I know, I recently spent an afternoon trying to to the same thing with the MoogerFoogers, trying to play the resonant filter!

    Interestingly, I’d dug it out again just before you posted this video. Resonators seem to be my current obsession, what with this, Resonatedo, Rings in MiRack, Gong Amp, and a Wingie 2. Haven’t tried the resonators in Drambo yet - haven’t tried much in it, TBH. One of these days I’ll get past the initial screen… 🤣

    I did a vid on this, with a workaround that showed how to quantize to scales. I'm not gonna post it here in Doug's thread but if you search 'How to Transform Fractal Bits' on youtube you'll find it!

    Just had a watch, and you’re “just” modulating pitch with S&H - which is cool, don’t get me wrong (hence the quote marks!). What I was talking about was calibrating things so you can track pitch accurately and play tunes. Can kind of be done with the MoogerFooger filter, might work with Objeq - it largely depends on how it responds to CCs. I’d expect the Moog stuff to work better, simply because the hardware probably works with 1v/octave, or close enough for a smallish range, plus the smoothing will help.

    If you wanna go the Drambo route (I don't have Objeq) it's fairly easy to do with its Modal resonator. Just tell us if you'd like that

    Oh hang on, maybe I'm remembering wrong - I thought I had some vid where I had managed to find a way to track pitch accurately. Let me think again about it, because that ability was indeed what I was referring to but I'm wondering now if I simply remembered wrongly

    Didn’t we cook up a Mozaic script to do this? It might not have been clever enough to do notes, but maybe could be adapted, I’ll look…

  • Actually, no, it was a pitch bend thing we did…

    I can do it in MiRack quite happily, I was just doing the stuff with the MoogerFoogers to see how well it’d work. Which is reasonably well, actually - I listened to my project again earlier and it’s pretty close, though I’d want to stick with a small range, but that’s the same as with hardware. Haven’t tried it with Objeq yet.

    If there’s a simple way, it would feed my burgeoning obsession with resonators!

    I had completely forgotten about this.Great video!. Just bought it, super fun.
    Put the iPad mic pointed at the floor fan and tweak the sliders, makes some really nice drones. About the only good thing that has come out of the horrible heat wave here.
