Thanks very much for doing this video, Doug. It answered a lot of questions that I had about the app.
I wonder if Void is planning on adding even a basic filter or other kinds of processing to the app.
Recording ambient sounds on the commute home and slicing/sequencing them in Strom might be good fun.
One question -- have you attempted to get Strom synced with Effectrix, Wow or any clock-based effects?
Also -- can't but help notice the lack of clicks when the audio was sliced/chopped/resequenced. Looking in your direction iMPC Pro.

Kind of makes me want to get on the bus (regular kind) except I don't commute. Maybe that's some new kind of constraint, an opportunity I'm missing. Go out and take ride around the city and see what comes up before the ticket runs out....
@papertiger said:
+1, this coupled with the ease of getting usable results into Audioshare, has instantly made this app very useful for me.

I spend almost 45 minutes each way on the subway everyday. That's 1.5 hours of each day underground. The types of sounds are the same, trains pulling in, announcements, etc. but sometimes I'll hear weird rhythms in things or chatter.
Riding Metro beats the HELL out of driving to work though. Ugh. That would be wretched where I live.
@CalCutta said:
Yeah -- the lack of clicking AND Audioshare integration kind of make this one a no-brainer for me. But I'm trying to be me more discerning.
@papertiger said:
Believe me, discernation is wildly overrated, and anyway, we like your all-encompassing self just like it is...as regards Metro-Noise, please consider posting 60 seconds of jumble recorded for others of a mind to incorporate or free-associate with, thereby allowing non-commuters, rural types, or those of us who man lighthouses to live vicariously etc.
@JohnnyGoodyear Ok, you have yourself a deal!
I've also recorded recorded some random things on the street where I work and actually incorporated some of it into a few songs. I'll post some of those street/field recordings as well. Sounds are all around!
@papertiger
Brilliant! (as Doug would say
.
Brilliant, This has some nice features, that other samplers don't have and maybe Jakob will start to add extra stuff. And I have not used this with anything other than itself
Thanks Doug... invaluable as usual.
I'm trying to get my head around tempo with this. Basically has no sense of tempo does it? (Unlike Samplr's arp function which is kind of similar to the latch).
So if you want the loop you get out of it to keep to the same tempo as the source loop you put into it - you need to stick to the grided slices, not the 'flex ones'...
Changing pitch is also going mess up your tempo I guess (since it doesn't time stretch).
I think...
Any clarification from anyone much appreciated...
@Matt_Fletcher_2000 said:
These are both correct. Many times the "flex" slices are just sticking to transients anyway so they stay in time. I have mainly been sticking to the grid slices and counting how many segments I've got going in a latch to make sure it's an even bar or whatever.
Which leads to a small feature request: Could there be a numerical count somewhere on the screen of how many slices have been selected when in latch mode?
@papertiger said:
never had any pops or clicks in impc pro, extreme sample heavy usage over here.
especially with all of the fading and editing facilities it's almost like an anti clicking maschine!
I can't say that that has been my own experience to date....
@kobamoto you're saying that you can load an audio sample into iMPC Pro, auto chop it to pads, and then, without editing any of the envelope settings, not have any clicks?
@papertiger said:

Strom grows on you the more you use it. it's really a nice app, we need some more tools in it though, I like my sampling apps to stand on their own and use audio bus as a bonus not as it's main draw. I'm looking forward to more development of this app for non rytm users in the very very very very very near future!!!
@JohnnyGoodyear said:
Neither mine, which is why I'm asking and hopefully @kobamoto will elaborate.
@papertiger said:
yes. may I ask what your source material is and where you created the loop you're slicing?
also when you zoom in on your slices and apply the fade feature what are you seeing as in what do you think the clicking is attributed to?
That must be the difference: you're slicing loops that are cut to a certain tempo and number of bars? I'm talking about slicing any old bit of audio -- random field recordings, a sustained synth chord with a filter sweep, for example.
I think that explains it.
@kobamoto said:
That's why zero crossing is a beautiful thing. No need to apply micro fades on each slice unless you're getting really deep down on the sample.
in that case auto chop would never do, you'd need to slice at zero crossings which you would only be able to do manually with audio like you're describing.
Yep. Snap to zero crossings is pretty standard on samplers, though. Has been for a long time. I'm still surprised iMPC Pro doesn't have it.
I chop up field recordings with the impc pro as well, I just don't do auto chopping, cause field recordings and sustained synth/filter material all fluctuates throughout the sample
i just zoom and move markers to the appropriate start and end points… i do this with synths all the time as well and then use 16 levels feature to play melodies with them.
i have a roland rs-505 and a roland rs-09 that I sample allot of
@papertiger said:
don't get me started on retronyms and what they should have but the fact is that even though it won't do your snapping for you you can still get down to the flatline of a sample view and easily put a marker on the zero cross point.
Frankly I'm always shocked when folks trust auto-chop, and this is one of the reasons I was pleasantly surprised by Strom...most of the time you actually can trust their auto-chops by grid.
@kobamoto said:
No, don't get ME started. :P
I'm using Strom with an Ber. istudio and it works flawlessly
