    No problems for me with loaded files. It has Audiopaste and Dropbox so that's pretty cool - would like to see Audioshare added too. I'm surprised that more apps haven't adopted Audioshare as a standard, tbh.

  • papertigerpapertiger

    I haven't had any problems with loaded files either, and actually got Audiobus working. My Dropbox import doesn't work at all (I can reproduce a crash) but I can export (although it doesn't let me pick the path/folder where I want things exported to -- it exports files to the root folder).

    I received a couple of emails from Boulanger Labs in response to my support emails and they stated that they're working on fixes for the app. Hopefully those emails signal that Boulanger Labs are going to support CsSpectral a bit better than CsGrain (which is also awesome, but had teething issues that lasted a while).

    @Michael_R_Grant the lack of Audioshare integration in any app that is meant to be used by musicians who do anything with audio on iOS is baffling. To me it's as indispensable. Audiobus cures the app-to-app audio issue; Audioshare cures the lack of a central file system issue. The provide excellent functionality that, for whatever reason, Apple did not bake into iOS.

    And yes -- CsSpectral is stunning. It sounds amazing. Even just using random mic input (sitting in a chair at home, on the train, outside) yields interesting results.

    100% of entirely right.

    You all are making it very hard to wait for a sale.

  • skopticskoptic

    I haven't seen other Boulanger synths on sale... ever! But might be wrong. This is seriously good though and I'm very happy to hear that fixes are planned and it will be getting some love. Don't worry too much about sales, if you like this kind of thing you can be happy with the fact that you'll have had 13.99 worth of fun in under 24 hours ;)

    I'll have a demo up tomorrow, there are still a few bugs but I think they will get sorted quick, a lot of this is caused by iOS8 changeover thing I guess, I still have not updated, mainly because I have a few things to demo that need to work. This is a brilliant app though

  • bennorlandbennorland

    State saving doesn't seem to work properly. Presumably that's all wound in with the general AB weirdness?

  • BuskaBuska

    Well I just had a spectacular crash on this app..
    Was tweaking the reverb amount and it glitched, then I just had the apple logo and my iPad shut off!!!!

    Never had a crash like that before o_0

    Oddly, a few days ago I could load this one in AB. Now I cannot. iOS 7, iPad Air. Tried the suggestion above, but no luck. It shows in the AB list but stays "sleeping" though the app is launched.

  • skopticskoptic

    ios 8 ipad mini

    CS Sleeping constantly in audiobus. Booted each app first .. made no difference.
    Init preset / live input no difference either.

  • thindsthinds

    Same here. Been using it for 2 days no probs and now it just sleeps in AB. csGrain has stopped working again too. Very odd.

  • BuskaBuska

    Absolutely loving this app.. The more I learn it the better it gets..

    The bitcrusher and timestretch are awesome in the file manager too

    Mine is now sleeping in Audiobus too. Very annoying.

    What a CF the transition to iOS 8 has been. And I haven't even updated from 7.1.2!!

  • thindsthinds

    I don't think it's anything to do with iOS7 or 8 at all. There were issues with csGrain intermittently working for ages. Particularly in AB.

  • kobamotokobamoto

    how is it working if you don't use audio bus?

  • thindsthinds

    They both work fine as standalones

  • papertigerpapertiger

    i had issue getting audio previews of any of the offline processes, but I also might have been in AB when i tried to do it. Anyone had any issues with that?

  • kobamotokobamoto

    @ things good to know

    @papertiger- hopefully at least stand alone is working in your case as well

    This app has managed to shock me every time I've used it. The only other app I can say the same for is Samplr. I really hope the next ipad is more powerful 'cause this one can push limits. So much fun...

  • Michael_R_GrantMichael_R_Grant

    Does anyone else find that Spectral 4 (the Spectral EQ) doesn't work anymore? It was fine when I first got the app, but now the little lights at the bottom (which should indicate the LFO) don't pulse and there's no effect on the loop or live signal.

  • TrueyorkyTrueyorky

    Seems fine here. They pulse when I turn up the LFO's and I can hear the effect.

    I had the same thing, no effect and no lights. Tried loading different samples, both factory and imported but still nothing. I then tried manually setting everything back to default, quitting and restarting the app. Now I had lights and effects back, except now when I stopped the sample playing the lights kept pulsing.

    I then went through the settings one-by-one, and turned off all the options I did not want. All ok until I disabled the 3D effects. This stops the effects and lights. Does it every time, so it appears that these functions are somehow linked.

    The other annoying aspect of this app is that it defaults to the guitar sample when you open it. Would be much better if it loaded the last sample used.

  • kobamotokobamoto

    any word from Boulanger about these issues?

  • papertigerpapertiger

    Nothing yet. :/ except promo codes lol

    I might try pinging them again, as they were fairly responsive when I sent in some detailed bug reports.

  • kobamotokobamoto

    OKAY hold wait a minute, I was told that cs spectral could only do iaa through audioshare?

    And It said in the manual only wavs/aiff

    But I'm running the impc pro through cs spectral directly, no audioshare, and cs spectral is loading the mp3s right out of the music app off the ipad, access to my playlist and all.... I'm on an struggling ipad 3, os 7.12 and even with the crackles and pops this is lovely.

    So what gives is this working for you guys or am I hallucinating?

    Have you loaded cs spectral in the IAA slot inside iMPC Pro? If so, it'll process anything iMPC Pro sends to it. And the "only Audioshare thing", dunno where that came from, but if an app can act as an IAA effect, it'll work in any host supporting IAA (Auria, Cubasis, Audioshare, iMPC Pro and so on).

    And if your importing music directly into cs spectral, it prolly converts the files into wavs while importing. I don't have the app so don't really know tho. :)

  • kobamotokobamoto

    Yes I'm loading into the iaa slot but I was under the impression that I had to use audioshare as a go between, anyway I'm ecstatic!

    Another iPad 4 user with a sleeping cs spectral in audiobus.. Very annoying. I was head over heels about this app the first few days I had it, experimenting running live vocals through it. I tried to run a mellotron choir through spectral a few hours ago using audiobus but got nothing. Turning live input on goes straight to the iPad's internal mic. Buffer size of 256 on iPad and audiobus. Every configuration attempted. I really hope Boulanger do something about this, as this is one of those super iPad apps that bring ios music to higher professional standards. Or, it could be with a few bug fixes.

  • kobamotokobamoto

    did you get in contact with boulanger about this? I'm just curious cause I don't see much mentioned about boulangers responding to people.

  • skopticskoptic

    I got an email back within an hour from their support address. They said that an update had been submitted.

    23/09/14
    "We just got Audiobus approved and pushed an update to Apple late last week. As soon as the update is available, update and try again.

    A heads up, you'll lose presets and audio files when you update (just this ONCE) so make sure you have at least audio files backed up!

    The next update will have some bugs as well, (file import) we hope to have them squashed by 1.0.2, which will be released asap as well."
