I agree zymos, it's lots of fun and great value
Can't automation be recorded in Echo Pad? In any case this app is a steal for the price. It's great fun to play with.
I've had a few weird glitches with this now, mostly volume related - the wet/dry sliders seem a bit random too, and I get the occasional 'bang' when I move the iPad and I'm in the app. All seems a bit unpredictable, but I don't mind a bit of that now and again.
Tom Wies of Synth Anatomy posted a few DFX demos today:

Sure but they say it works via IAA and that's not true, when they fix it the price won't be 2€

I tried to open it before Auria, when you do that, if it's ON, the audio of the track does not sound.
In Cubasis it doesn't let you select it as an IAA if it's already opened, if you try directly in the app it's so buggy and also no sound.... So I don't know what else I should try
IAA is working fine for me (so far) in MultitrackStudio as an IAA effect. DFX app has to be opened first for it to work, otherwise I get an "app got disconnected" error.
Not bad for you then. In Cubasis and Auria useless as IAA on iPad Air 1 8.1.2
None of the videos show the bugs as IAA as they use it in Audiobus.
@Flo26 I rather like Svep, but we may have different tastes.

I'm still on iOS 7 fwiw
Still getting weird volume issues and the occasional loud 'pop'. Discovered the animate/automate thing now though which adds another dimension to it. I like it, but it's a very 'rough around the edges still' type app, and I'd only really use this on my more stranger excursions. Not one for the faint hearted.
What makes flux even better is that you have the ability to make it as simple as you like or as complicated depending on the flavor. It will do both. I will not blame the app for my short comings is the point. If you want light phasing then put it on light phase. If you want just a bit of reverb and phaser do that . The app is capable to go both ways and that is what is great. Very subtle or Balls to the Wall the choice is ours.
If the app had cc midi controls, you could use midi apps or hardware to control the movement of the effects on the XY pads and record them. BitWiz, Turnado do this and AmpliTube has such a function with midi learn for the pedals. It'd also allow you to sync midi play back with the effect manipulations.
so far this is the only fx app that doesn't work flawlessly inside the impc pro as an IAA
Turnado, CS spectral, Wow, flux, etc… all just work. Dfx is a great value and release but there is some dusting to do
I'm happy to have it in my arsenal. Not sure exactly how I'm going to use it but I've already had enough fun to justify the money and I know fingerlab will slowly add features/bug fixes. I don't even care if it takes a year. I have LiveFX which I hardly use but somehow it feels good to know it's there
I think this is a brilliant multi-fx app. Starts up straight away, some very good FX, a very interesting concept allround.
It has some quirks, but it is only at v1.0. Dirt cheap and has only crashed on me once !
People are comparing it to Flux, I think they both have their strengths and (currently) weaknesses and are quite different.
IAA seems to work fine in Cubasis on iOS 7.1 -- as long as dfx is loaded before Cubasis
on iOS 7.1.2 ipad 3 impc pro , IAA won't work no matter which app is opened first. can't get it to work at all in this way.
On the AppleStore they say compatible with 7.1 or later, again it's not, probably only in Audiobus but that's not what they published.
hmm well I would really like to use it with that app in particular , time to shoot them off an email and see if they can do anything
@kobamoto I was able to get DFX working as an effect in iMPC Pro from the mixer via IAA. Opened up DFX first and then loaded it in. Running iOS 8.1.3.
i still am not able to do so, iOS 7.1.2, what model iPad do you have paulinko?
@kobamoto tried the same setup on an iPad 2 on iOS 7.1.2 running iMPC Pro 1.2 and DFX worked there in the FX IAA in the mixer section of iMPC Pro too. The previous setup was an iPad Air 2. Later tried load DFX directly into iMPC Pro without opening up DFX first and it worked. Tried to load DFX directly into iMPC Pro on iOS 8.1.2 and same version of iMPC Pro and it didn't work. Then quit both in iOS 8.1.2 and tried load DFX from within iMPC Pro and it worked. I suspect DFX may remember the last state it was in. Tried this sequence again and it turns out every other time you need to launch DFX first to have it launch successfully from within iMPC Pro. It turns out that on the iOS 7.1.2 setup that if I don't tap on the DFX icon once it's been selected in iMPC Pro, it will just disappear to the blue , "+" again, but so long as you select it and then tap it again to switch to DFX, it loads and stays loaded. Plus it turns out you get the same behavior on iOS 8.1.3 too.
This same behavior occurs when I use IAA hosting DFX within Audioshare as an effect too
Hopefully the developer can fix the IAA in DFX in the next update.
thanks Paulinko did you by chance try running anything through dfx in your examples, I can get dfx to load, and display the impc pros icon, but when I play the impc pro there is no sound in dfx at all?
well , finally after reinstalling dfx twice, it's just working.perfectly in the impc pro now, a little sluggishly on my iPad but that's to be expected I guess. thanks for all your help paulinko and everybody!
@kobamoto I got sound when I played the pads in iMPC Pro in both iOS 7 and 8. The sound of the pads was definitely different being filtered through DFX and tried several different presets in DFX. You might want to try different presets in DFX.
You need to put the DFX sounds in a new song as I wasn't able to hear the effects on existing ones. I was able to create a song and export two versions of it using two different DFX effects. When I tried adding DFX as an effect in an existing demo song, the DFX filters didn't alter the sound at all.
Upon further inspection, the animation in DFX was not working either. Loaded iMPC Pro into MT DAW running as a host in the input slot of Audiobus and put DFX in the effects slot of Audiobus. The DFX filters worked and so did their animation. Clearly the DFX IAA is broken despite some work arounds.
Nice multi-fx app. Sound cut out after a few minutes but that could have been anything until I see it happen more than once. Does anyone know where the 'copy' feature, for recorded audio, sends the audio? Doesn't appear in audioshare's pasteboard.
Future enhancements I'd appreciate would be controls for phase, direction and slope of the animation. Even better would be path draw, like in Animoog!
Easy to get abstract effects with this. Going to try making some subtler ones..
@Jocphone I have no idea where the copy in export goes to in DFX. You can email the exported file to yourself and open it in AudioShare by doing a long press on the file in your email.
Yeah, a bit of a mystery
I just tried this out. Man what a freakin deal this is. One for the books. It feels like there's no latency at all (Air 2).
Nice interface, not fussy. But the price........
Anyway, I tried this and Flux Fx, which of course is great, but i'm liking this one, and decided to comment.
Did I mention the price?
Also, I like to thank everyone here for the info about this stuff. I wouldn't have a clue any of this existed.
A great resource : )
Great prog til my recent io8 upgrade....now it wont work !
