Nonatone v2.0: Parameters!
Hey guys,
Can’t believe its been 2 weeks since release, but its finally done, Nonatone v2.
Thank you all so much for your feedback and help on this, I couldn’t have done it without you.
Preamble out the way, lets get onto what you’re all here for…
Changes
Parameters: I think pretty much everyone wanted this and by the end so did I, it enables some really powerful functionality without affecting the UI for those who don’t want it. You have a nice 20 parameters to work with, for every oscillators frequency and amplitude, as well as the global filter/volume control and the global reverb
iOS 14+ Support: Again, a lot of people asking for this, actually I was asked to go down to iOS 15 but managed to get it down by one more without breaking everything
State Saving: I can’t take credit for this, turns out it comes free with parameters, but yeh, you can now restore your AUM state without losing your work, which makes sense
AU Presets: Only found out about this 5 minutes ago but another fun side effect of adding parameters, you can now save presets in AUM (likely other AU hosts that support generators as well). Again, a nice feature for those who want it without it polluting the UI for those who don’t
Screen Wake: Just a little thing, in the standalone app the screen will no longer go idle and turn off, nice for if your using it as a backing for external instruments
Here's a quick little demo in AUM, can't say its my finest work but it does a good job of showing off how it all works
As a final note, this will probably be my last update on Nonatone at least for a while. I’m sure you guys can understand that I can’t afford to work on it full time (much as I’d love to), though with the app focusing on simplicity I think I can safely call it finished now.
Thank you all so much for your support on this, I hope you enjoy!
Cheers,
Tom

Awesome 🤩 thanks 🙏
I’m sure you have learned a lot making it this far with Nonatone. I hope you take that knowledge and
make another simple but interesting app with a clever User Interface. I noticed you mentioned having an idea for a MIDI app so maybe that will be next.
Thanks for getting some automation in, without it .. it was not for me. Anyway, I'm curious what 'Amplitude" is supposed to do? I added the same frequencies and cc to the top 3 but different cc and values for the amplitude on the three individually and I'm not seeing nor hearing any difference. What gives?
Amplitude parameter is working as expected for me. Main volume control in Nonatone needs to be up, as it is the master volume level, but if I assign different lfos with different CCs to different oscillator amplitudes, I can indeed control each oscillator's volume independently, within the limit set by the master volume slider. I tested it in AUM.
If you are controlling the frequency of the first 3 oscillators, which are all the same type of oscillator, with the same cc number, you might not hear the difference in Amplitude of the different oscillators. Because they are all playing exactly the same frequency. Better to only test modulating Amplitude, then I think it will be easy to hear what's going on, unless there is some kind of bug.
Yeh just gave it a test and the amplitudes seem to be working as expected. Gav has pretty much covered it, it could be because you haven't set the global volume slider or because your controlling the frequencies as one but the amplitudes individually.
As for why you can't see it, that was the motivation for adding in parameters. The main interface only exposes the global volume/filter and each oscillators frequency, so for more advanced use you can now control aspects which the main interface couldn't by using parameters.
The only thing I'd want to empathise is that Nonatone wasn't originally built for automation, I added it in for the power users but by using it you do lose a lot of what the app was made for. It's there for those who are interested in that kind of thing, but it's not how the app was originally intended to be used.
Thanks gents, yeah I redid my test differently and you're right, it does work. It's pretty subtle for being amplitude but never mind that - I stand corrected and I apologise for wasting your time. Cheers
Cool update @tspring Thanks!
