Something new from Audiothing

And what about the Prophet VS, I used to own the keyboard version and still missing that weird thing.

I love Audiothing, anything from them is interesting, but of course we need some stuff that hasn’t been covered yet or something obscure that will deliver a specific sound. I also would love to see more drum machines like the Roland CR-78 or the Linndrum.

When it comes to VST’s: Arturia has a Prophet VS, Cherry Audio recently dropped a CR-78 and the Linndrum is covered by Aly James VProm. I’m with MrSmileZ when it comes to samplers. On iOS we’ve got AudioLayer that is able to load EXS files, I’ve got some sample libraries from Goldbaby that I loaded in AudioLayer. The switching of presets could be made a bit easier. It would be nice if we could load EXS into Koala (or some round-robin feature).

When it comes to Audiothing on iOS, I personally would vote for some tape-style effects like phaser and flanging or something with free running tapeloops a’la Gauss (but multitrack) like the old Natlab and Radiophonic studios. Heck, even Daphne’s Oramics synth or some Lyra-8 alternative would come to mind. The problem I have with synths in general is: There is already a lot covered. There are vintage/traditional but also some experimental synths on iOS and Windows/MacOS. There already are multiple Juno’s, SH’s Prophets, CS-80’s and “Moog’s”. At the end it’s up to the developers where they spend their time on.

Update: Gforce just released IconDrum that seems to be another Linndrum emulation.

Yup will be taking a pass, not that it isn’t good… it’s just another analog subtractive synth model and I am full on loaded there.

I’m waiting on new synths not reissue clones…it’s been done to death and still being done.

Developers!

Make some new stuff please. Emulate something dope like the Roland vsynth, or create a whole new synthesis hybrid. It’s cool for the clones and emulations, but it’s really keeping us stuck in the olden days of synthesis without moving forward much…behringer is doing so much of this it’s not even viable to do it anymore. If you do do an oldy and moldy at least give it polyphony or new stuff…to make it better than the original. Hahaha I’m just Pleading.

Why can’t there be more pigments, avenger, and phase plants here on iOS? Same with effects too…. Where are the good things? Ozone, melodyne, spawn2, movement, infiltrator 2 (maybe the best effect ever), UVI shade, and etc. I think we got regular effects covered fairly thoroughly now.

Rant over hahahaha sorry

The REAL question is..if any of these were to come would it be supported?? Or would it die in sales due to pricing or being compared to something already released here? I’m all for the effort to bring them to iOS but the iOS crowd is a tough one. I’ve seen many fail once making it here for one reason or another.

The SX1000 is a difficult one to get the sound right for those of us whom had one for quite a while. The thing is most peeps had one due to lack of funds, so we put them through pedals and dodgy amps. The sound I remember was fantastic, but some of that is a memory effect and the rest is probably the fx and amp.

I will definitely buy it just because I have such fond memories of it. Will it sell? Couldn't say. If they can get it right and at the right price, then possibly it will do OK. As for other old synths, who knows how well these things sell with any synth that has competition in a forever more busy and competitive market. Most of us on here have more synths than we will ever really need.

Sure, there are other Juno plugins out there already, just like there are emulations of Wurlitzers, Philicorda, and so on. But for us, the goal is to create our own take on them. I personally think some emulations miss the mark, and we want to do them justice.

And honestly, we’re fortunate to be able to focus on what we love, without being driven purely by commercial outcomes.

The idea is simple, recreate the instruments and effects we use here in the studio as plugins, so we can have the same sound and workflow in the box.

Of course, this doesn’t mean we’ll only be doing emulations, we’re also working on new and original plugins.

I think it's often best when devs do things they themselves like, as better work is usually done when there is interest beyond the money involved

A soma cosmos and a solar 42. Those would be my choices for a synth and an effect

Love your FX and experimental apps. Keep up the good work!
