I'm freaked out at least. Soo... Metronome? I use them as utilities. But sure. It's a very special metronome. Vampire Metronome.
I wonder which well versed metronomist they brought in between the alpha and the beta?
It syncs to your heartbeat and sucks out the blood.
Rolf putting a countdown on Twitter 11am UK time by the looks of it!
once you publish your application you need to wait again, depending on the location
Historic Harpsichords - Ruckers 1628
App Store: https://appsto.re/us/oJ213.i
Ha! So it was the Ruckers :-) Cool!
Not sure if I need this but it's not even compatible with my iPad 4 so I don't need to think too hard about it.
This is what I call a niche app for real enthusiasts ;-)

Wow no ipad 4? that's a first for me. I'm curious what percent of the ipad market is using one?
@firejan82 said:
You're right, I didn't notice that. I'm on iPad 4 as well.
But compatible with iPhone 6! I was kind of expecting another iPad only app so that's a pleasant surprise. I think it might actually be very cool in electronic or beat oriented music and not only for playing baroque music. I'll wait for Doug's video before buying:-)
Yeah, I'm laughing now but if this'll be the case with the Korg Module I'm going to start crying.

If you're going to use harpsichord for electronic music, why spend $10 on an app that took pains to closely recreate the sound of the original? I'd go with some of the free sound fonts out there instead.

All the way to the Apple Store.

I have a feeling Doug is on an iPad4 ...
I'm glad he released something i don't want,makes my descision easy.I'm off to Bilbao now...
@kgmessier - because this is using high-quality samples from a superb harpsichord - I suspect from the library mentioned here:
http://www.protoolerblog.com/2008/04/26/realsamples-releases-sample-library-of-a-dutch-ruckers-harpsichord-from-1628/
And, on the YT video, TR mentions that ".... you need a 64-bit device. The app is quite demanding to get hi-res audio quality."
Thanks, @MusicInclusive. That makes sense. It's just disappointing to think the iPad 4 already is becoming underpowered in certain iOS contexts. :: sigh ::
@firejan82 said:
Right, that's too bad. I didn't realize that.
Obtuse question: is this the Harpsichord played by that singer for Hootie & the Blowfish? And does his family get a cut of app sales? (Sorry, I'm just mad because I've got an IPad 4!)
I just got the code, and yeah its not for the iPad4, just installed it on Jo's phone so I'll demo it from that, but I think sales will suffer and I think a lot of people are gonna get this and not realise, unless the store will stop the purchace, Maybe it will be sorted, anyway I'll get one done in a few days
This is a very niche product. Many people probably won't even know what a harpsichord is...
For a set of quality samples and interface of a genuine classic instrument it's not very expensive but it's not an impulse buy either, as long-time 60's Rolling Stones fan, even I am thinking, hmmm, well...perhaps I might want to record 'Lady Jane' one day...but then again...maybe not.
I don't think TR will be counting on monster sales for this...what with the niche appeal of such an instrument, the large footprint and the 64-bit limitation...
I may purchase it one day, it's always nice to hear a quality instrument, but for now I'm still keeping my powder dry fot Black Friday...unless Doug's video drops before then, that is....may be hard to resist once again! ;-)
Count another in for being bummed over no ipad 4..
Little challenge - I recorded the following all in-iPad but NOT using the Ruckers app (I recorded something else into Cubasis, threw it into Auria, did a little work on it). If someone is game, take the MIDI file at the link below, and see what you can get out of Ruckers. I would be interested in A/Bing the result. By all means add a little reverb, but nothing else - just to see what the samples native+reverb sound like in comparison with what I started with and did a little processing on.

Oh - for reference, here's a live recording of the same piece - to maybe A/B/C with ;-)

Hi there,
Rolf speaking. I can understand that many wonder about the demanding hardware requirements. My classic apps like NLog, Nave, iSEM will continue to support 32 bit devices. But having now a super fast 64 bit architecture from Apple for over a year it's also tempting for the developers to make stuff based on these super fast devices. The Ruckers app is niche and I love these old instruments as I love synths. So, it was a project motivated more by passion than commerce. And on the technology side I decided, ok then make some innovations, if it's not mainstream, I could start to use new things like Swift, 64 bit only and see how these behave. It won't hurt too many.
On the other side, I in creased the range of device by moving away from iPad-only to universal. This is quite some work in terms of UI design. But I think with the new iPhone 6 & 6plus screens it make sense to get universal again.
For the MIDI file things, here's my perspective after testing the app with apt harpsichord players: For the musician the most important thing is the interaction with the instrument, how it behaves to tiny variation of velocity, how it sounds etc. So, the MIDI file won't work since it hasn't been recorded with the instrument here. What we can learn from this is, that musicality results from interaction of a musician with a specific instrument. This is not only true for instrumentalists but also for producers of electronic music. Think about a MIDI file created with soft synth X and then played back with Nave to prove Nave's qualities? Well, the Nave spirit is created when you sit in front of Nave and get inspired. Same is true here.
Cheers
Rolf
Rolf, that are all good and reproducible decisions. Ich bin stolz auf dich. How about a app with the same spirit behind but this time a recreation of a string machine like the Solina?
Rolf, how was Swift?
@syrupcore: For logic & UI Swift is nice. Of course, for DSP you don't use it anyway, but Objective-C wasn't used there neither. The good thing, you can build Swift code upon your own existing Objective-C frameworks and decide to migrate them later or never.
@klangsulfat: interesting idea. I'm working on several things as usual. The harpsichord was a long time ago started project I wanted finally to get done. More to come.
