Great update. Thanks, man!
I am wondering about the voice detection part of the update. Would it then be possible to somehow use this feature as a midi controller at some point in the future. If it can detect what note you sing could it then send out this note info to say animoog or whatever synth you chose?
@Tritonman - I'd love to get the voice-to-pitch detection to the point where it can be used to play notes directly (and output MIDI of those notes), and yes, I'm playing around with seeing if a future update to Fiddlewax Pro could do just that
So far, it seems too tedious to use a way to directly play notes because it's hard to keep your voice stable and therefore notes skip around a lot. That said, it'd be super cool so I'll definitely keep looking into it!
Of course, there are apps that let you do this now, such as ThumbJam, JamSynth, MIDImorphosis (and other ones designed for guitar->midi). Some may be better for voice than others.
But the more the merrier, I say!
Any of these apps use pitch quantize to scale?
The voice detection thing is just a cool idea. Between adding that and now the MIDI keyboard and fixes to quantization, it's just a whole lot more practical now to sketch things out into usable MIDI data.
I still fiddle (no pun intended) with the recorder a bit (perhaps it could start on the first note pressed?), and it does like to crash on iOS7 a fair amount, but I can't really repeat why it does it. It used to crash when loading samples, but that was fixed. Actually, the way samples can be triggered and placed in an instrument slot is pretty cool.
Hate to keep blabbing on about SoundFonts, but that would be the one thing on my current wishlist - just to clean that up a bit so you know which instrument you are using from the .sf2 file. With that working perfectly and in conjunction with the quantization feature, you could get some varied and more professional quality sounds out of Fiddlewax. Of course, as it works already, you could just sketch the part on whatever instrument, and then export the MIDI data to bs-16i or whatever.
ThumbJam will do that. But I didn't mean to hijack the thread, just injecting some relevant info!
Definitely would be great to have the pitch to MIDI note input. Thumbjam does this surprisingly well, converts singing to the chosen scale. I agree, the more apps that do this, the merrier.
@sonosaurus, I'll definitely be checking that out, amazing apps, from two amazing developers, thanks guys for all the TLC you put into them.
I'm going to miss TJ when it's gone*. Feel pretty sure it does all kinds of goodness I hardly scratch at.
*This is a double jinx thing; it aint going anywhere, it better not, I just have this ongoing suspicion I take it for granted/often overlook it in the race for the next shiny thing...
The bug fix that I submitted was expedited and has now been approved (version 2.2.1).
This should (hopefully!) fix the issue where some MIDI keyboards/inputs were only turning notes on and never sending the note off event. Note that this has nothing to do with extra control parameters (such as a sustain pedal, which I hope can be supported in a future update but isn't quite yet).
For those of you that had issues ( @mgmg4871 & @Musikman4Christ w/ Axiom Air 32, @bonso w/ the Yamaha Arp and Drum Pad app, @Lacm1993 w/ M-AUDIO keystation 61es), it'd be super helpful to hear if the update does the trick for you.
Thanks for your patience, everyone!
Sure thing Adam!
Will try today and report back. Thanks for the update.
Cheers Adam.
The catchily titled 'Yamaha Arp and Drum Pad' App is now working perfectly.
(Also, my AKAI MPK Mini is still functioning correctly too.)
Again and again - Thank you, Adam!
Midi in its working now, thank you for the update
As you say... it'd be super cool.
what I'd love is something like you can do in thumjam but combined with the chords/scale approac of Fiddle so that the notes are less unstable when you're not a pro singer...
Cheers Adam and thanks for all you bring to iOS music ;-)
Glad to hear that the update seems to have fixed the MIDI Input issue for everyone so far!
@ElGregoLoco - I agree that being able to map the voice to a particular scale/chord would be well aligned with the Fiddlewax approach. In addition to letting you see/play things directly, Fiddlewax should also let you quickly experiment with alternative mappings and structures; I'll keep working on it
It works great! Thanks so much!
I'm having a great time composing with Fiddlewax alongside some external MIDI instruments.
The ability to stack multiple tracks (and then separate the MIDI channels in a DAW afterwards) is really nice and extends the flexibility a lot.
I have some feedback and a few ideas that I thought I would leave here.
Firstly, I'd like to suggest a 'all notes off' panic button (perhaps a long hold on stop button?) as I have experienced a couple of stuck notes when switching instruments (using external MIDI instruments).
I would also like to support the idea I think I heard mentioned to enable external MIDI input to map to the selected key/mode settings. Ideally this could include options to select between the different playing areas.
Anyway, cheers for the updates and the great device.
