I think we are leaning towards €4.99 for Modnetic and €3.99 for Diffuse but really hoping that the low price is met with higher volume.

Defo get my dollars at those prices, these are sweet

We have no idea how one gets the word out about a new iOS plugin. I guess that's more important with low prices.

Demos from more well known iOS users are a good way to get the word out for iOS users. You might contact them with free codes for a video demo. Doug is awesome with Sound Test Room https://youtube.com/@TheSoundTestRoom?si=qeFvzf7GdOW7sOMy.

Jakob Haq is really good and probably would dig the effects https://youtube.com/@JakobHaq?si=2_D-4lfoincn5UG2.

Jade Starr is great too https://youtube.com/@JadeStarr?si=9RzNoAusAhbI3IYg.

@Gavinski does very good tutorials as well https://youtube.com/@GavinskisTutorials?si=D2-1bzIE40xrD8nT.

Soundformore does great tutorials as well https://youtube.com/@soundformore?si=NuFT5owk3U5gec1f.

I can’t speak for any of them wanting to do it but they all get a lot of eyes on their videos and would be a good place to spread the word for starters

Fingolfinzz much appreciated

Hi, @Matt_Jackson , that's a generous price and I will certainly get them both. I was talking about doing an icon for the apps but I have been messing about for a bit and I'm not very happy where it took me so I think I give up. I do love your logo and wanted to do something centered around that.

Matt_Jackson · May 8

Thanks. An interesting exploration anyway.

Updated preset seem to work fine but when using 'Save Preset As' the save menu/box is empty forcing you to rewrite the name even if you just want to save over an existing one. So, either just a 'Save' option beside 'Save As' or please add the present presets name when using 'Save As'.

Looking forward to these!

and hope that Alex's Harker plugs "Granular" and "Freeze"
are next to port...:)

Not about the iOS versions. We’d welcome and promote anyone who wants to share

Hey all, we have just pushed out our Release Candidate and are looking to get the plugins into stores this month.
The expected prices are $4.99 for Diffuse and $5.99 for Modnetic.
If you'd like to help with promotions or have any inside scoops don't hesitate to get in touch!

That is good price and I'll get them both then but I do wonder if I should wait for them being released as a bundle? WiIl they be?
Other then that I don't have much input to give except to say that they're: goood! ♫

Maybe if you contacted some of the devs active on the site they might give you some tips - like @brambos as an example

Matt_Jackson · July 17

@Pxlhg no bundle just everyday low prices
Thanks @robosardine, will do.

reasOne · July 17

Congrats on upcoming release! Have had desktop for a long time so excited for iOS release (officially). Beta has been great.

We topped #2 iPad Audio apps and #18 in paid iPad apps which is incredible! However as is typical, sales decline exponentially and we have only gone a bit beyond our costs in sales so far (probably in part to the low pricing?).

We’d love to get more involved in the scene. Are there other iOS focused forums worth exploring to spread the word and learn more about our customers?
