got the IAP and it works very well with my synths. there are probably better apps that do what Auxy does but boy is it slick. Makes you feel creative.
Well put. I'm beginning to realize it's often not so much what the app does, but more what the app makes you want to do....
Couldn't agree more when it comes down to UI being a huge part of the experience. I've played with a bunch of sequencers, this one by far makes the most sense for me coming from an Ableton workflow. Only had a chance to play briefly but I sequenced a sketch earlier today with Mitosynth and iSem each running through fx in Audiobus on an iPad mini 1 (non retina) and was shocked at how smooth it ran. I can see myself exporting midi into Ableton using this app a LOT. Came just in time for my vacation
Is the velocity control "soft, normal, loud" or just 2 settings?
So, anyone bought it and Got that somewhat underwhelmed feeling? I'm kind of fencing, but for once by no means desperately. All discussion about the cost of apps to one side, eight bucks seems a lot for the midi, but please tell me otherwise.
I'm struggling with it as well. I did feel like Auxy had something special with the workflow in the initial release. But if it's a question of paying 8 bucks just to use it as a straight MIDI editor/play-thru, I dont know, I feel like ProMidi, MidiPatterns, MultiTrackStudio, etc. could already do that for me.
That said, it is a smooth editor and the Ableton-like triggering is cool. It would kinda be like paying to add MIDI out to Gadget.
Only Gadget was $29 and the base Auxy is free.
I thought $7.99 seemed a bit outsized as well but the overall price is still reasonable if you enjoy the workflow.
Hard one. Apples and hand grenades.
Maybe I'm biased as someone who has paid a lot for sequencers in my day but this is a no brainier for 8 bucks to me. That's a Starbucks drink lol. All jokes aside though I'm very happy. I think the workflow is the most intuitive if you're coming from Ableton
dunno
To me, Auxy has the best, most intuitive work-flow for "jamming" along with an idea, even better than Gadget, which I also love.
So, I bought the MIDI update - its pretty cool.
Here's something cool - you can send the four separate tracks from Auxy as MIDI out to CUBASIS, using the sounds in CUBASIS (i used drums, bass, synth 1, synth 2)
Then, to make a full fledged song, just hit record in CUBASIS, start jamming along (changing the patterns, etc.). After you are done, stop recording, and you have your jam recorded, with a separate MIDI track for each instrument.
Now you can easily try different instruments, etc. later in CUBASIS, add audio, etc.
Of course this doesn't really solve the problem that most of my crappy song ideas are just that, crappy, but lets me get to that realization a lot faster!
@roygbiv well Mister Roy, your enthusiasm and a quiet Thursday night here in Austin led me to buy that cup of coffee and, yep, it IS something spitting out all four tracks (even for midiot like me) into Cubasis. As mentioned: slick.
Even more so to be writing a Thor sound into the Auxy roll with a Sunrizer patch playing along etc. Yes, this can all be done elsewhere and with knobs and maracas on, but what sent me back with my wallet was remembering how much I liked playing with Auxy when it came out, but considered the sounds the limitation.
Like the velocity control, but the triplets thing isn't doing much for me. Maybe user error. For all of that:
Audiobus?
At all? Ever? I see there were a number of review complaints about the cost of the IAPs and have witnessed (self included) some hesitation/reservations about spending another 11 bucks. I feel sure that AB would lead to a serious leap in Auxy's uptake....please re-consider. I know that Henrik (@lenberg) you mentioned it back in December but in somewhat vague terms. Can you clarify what your position is at this point in time please?
Why is lack of Audiobus a problem if the synths have Audiobus? Or am I missing something here?
I just have a thing about Audiobus
and I want to run three synths into Auxy and then chain them through Peak and StereoDesigner and this new-fangled Push and into Auria, but I did just do some of that via audioshare and it was pretty pretty.
As for Auxy, somewhere upthread I mentioned not wanting to have the 'somewhat underwhelmed feeling' if I splashed for the midi. I haven't. At all. Will sleep complacently on my pillow tonight etc.
I don't care so much abou AB support. I care about being able to switch to the apps I'm sequencing quickly. Audiobus side panel is one way. OMAC is another though I'm not sure how many apps continue to support that.
I hear you. And agree with that. I want AB, but a good part of it is certainly to have the panel. Feels indispensable at this point (it isn't of course, but etc etc).
Quickly switching really is important though for 'flow' purposes. Normal app switching just kinda blows. Works fine but 'double tap of the home button then find the app you want' is awkward at best. I think the switching panel was a somewhat surprising super benefit of AB. Think it may have even surprised S & M how much users loved it. Almost as surprising as I am presently that I haven't seen "S&M" as a nickname for the dynamic duo until this moment.
Funkbox and LMM are still the best OMAC implementation out there (nice big hit space for going back and forth) though they're only one app at a time. I'd use Genome more for app sequencing if it had AB or used OMAC app switching via each track's header.
Think the AB panel may have sort of spelled the end of OMAC fast switching adoption. A shame because it's still incredibly useful. Indeed, with something like AUXY or Genome it would require less thinking on the user's part: double tap the track header or a fixed icon thereabouts to switch to the app in question vs scanning the sometimes-stuffed AB panel for the correct icon. Tiny difference but those little 'make-me-think' moments add up in UX land.

especially on the iPad, you would think the whole iPad culture would be geared toward this way of thinking
Thanks. Haven't read that, have put it on the Trello.
That's another whiny problem with this Austin weather. Come February and I'm on the porch Impakting when back in Maine I'd be huddled by the woodstove with a book in my mittened hands. Damn kids.
