RingsFX - Brand New Synth by 4Pockets - Demo for the iPad - OUT NOW

Svetlovska · March 13

Polyphony, external input to the exciter, and a rather brilliant eg/other sequencer… it adds a lot.

EdZAB · March 13

This looks like a real winner. Another banger from 4Pockets, and you know that Paul will have special features under the surface in there to make it next level. I'm still learning how to master some of the deeper features in his other apps!

@thesoundtestroom Does it have Settings > Knob Mode > Vertical Only?
Great video btw, thanks for sharing Doug! 👍🎛🎸

Anyone know if it will be on iPhone too?

Blipsford_Baubie · March 14

I don’t know @cuezaireekaa , but any app that I’ve ever bought from Paul is universal.

He's annoyed at supporting iPhone, but he hasn't refused yet. 😂 👍🏽

cuezaireekaa · March 14

Yeah it’s probably because ppl complain about small ui, but I can handle it and enjoy jamming on an iPhone with my midi kb. Hope he considers…

thesoundtestroom · March 14

@gdog Yes, you can choose vertical or horizontal, or both at the same time.

After hearing it on the live stream I'm pumped. MPE too? Sold.

Anything that remotely approximates the sound and feel of Plasmonic but on iOS is getting my money.

Oooh, is this really that close to Plasmonic? Apart from just being mpe and using physical modeling, what's similar? I know Plasmonic well but haven't checked out RingsFX, I felt like it would probably be similar to Tera Pro RingZ.

I wasn't impressed with Tera Pro RingZ but RingsFX seems to be something else!

I'd like to hear what didn't impress you about Tera Pro RingZ if you have the time.

Plasmonic imo is basic oscillators, an impulse section with some good sound options, a fantastic resonator, great delay and reverb options, and deep mpe modulation options.

RingsFX has A LOT of that. So there's similar sounds happening.

The mod matrix seems decent and has cc74 assignments. I didn't get the best look at the matrix so that might be where i focus my feature requests. Put EVERYTHING in that mod matrix @4pockets_paul !

IMO, RingsFX is the closest dedicated iOS synth to Plasmonic so far. Not identical for sure, but closest yet!

I had high hopes for Baby Audio Atoms. But nope, unless they revamp their mpe implementation.

Any word on when atoms might be coming out?

Perfect! Thanks for letting us know 👍🎹💕

I used to have three Rings in my Eurorack case so you can imagine how excited I am for this!

Nope. But you can be sure someone will start a thread when it does. 👍🏽

I can't wait for RingsFX. All my other synths sound boring to me while i wait. 😂

Nimgwen · March 15

How CPU efficient is this? I love Rings. I have it on Tera pro but it’s quite heavy, is this lighter?

Fear2Stop · March 18

Supposed to be coming out today at some point

rheslip · March 18

It’s out! Just bought it on the Canadian App Store.

ninobeatz · March 18

It’s out!

finally!
bigups Paul.
this is what I was waiting for:
Rings unfolded/uncluttered.

Kashi · March 18

Anyone know if this is an intro price?

Oregano · March 18

Looks cool! How does it compare in terms of functionality to the Spectrum bundle? Does it cover all the synth modes there?
I love the the sounds of the latter, but find it difficult to tweak sometimes

FordTimeLord · March 18

I noticed Paul had posted this worrying news on Facebook this morning. Thought it might be worth posting here as well:

richardyot · March 18

Oh man, I really hope he can beat this. It's good time to go and buy his apps, as he won't be in a position to earn any income while he is in treatment, and will need every penny he can get.

He's in the UK AFAIK, so he won't be paying for treatment, but he probably doesn't qualify for sickness benefit, which means the loss of income could hit quite hard.
