Experiencing renewed Electrify NXT joy, hoping for AB etc. update, then...
...it disappears from the App Store - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/electrify-nxt/id771185854?mt=8.
No idea if this is a good or bad thing.
There had been a tweet in early March about an update-

Electrify NXT NXT will come back in some weeks. I am currently reworking large portions of the app.

Thanks @skoptic
It seems from the feed that the apps been off the App Store since Feb. I only just noticed today and got all enthused...maybe the weeks mentioned are almost up. This one and the next Auria say Air 2
This guy is a hit and run developer. Do not, I repeat DO NOT buy from this developer!!! At the very least, check out his very active forum on his web site to see his awesome support before buying if you are determined to ignore my warning!!!
@Audiojunkie
I already bought the three Electrifys, so it's too late for me to heed the warning. (It's true the NXT forum is a ghost town. I'd have likely still bought the app knowing that) I'm actually pretty cool with NXT, I've gotten my money's worth. It's fun and I like the music I've made with it. Of course I would like it to do more for the price I've already paid.
NXT is buggy but I quite like it still. I'm excited for a potential update that would improve stability. I always liked the look of it, personally.
I'm always a little surprised whenever I see this app recommended on these forums. The only way to get anything I created out of the app was via iTunes and the audio was panned all the way to one side. I refunded within a day. Do you guys really enjoy just playing with it that much or does the export actually work for you?
@firejan82
I've only used it live, I'll attempt an export and report back...
it had so much promise but as soon as Gadget launched i think the dev gave up
This fills a different gap to gadget (for me) and has more sampler type functionality. I'm very happy there is an update coming. It's a long time between updates but at least it is not abandonware!!
I've never considered this app. I'd be interested to know what you make of it after the update in terms of its current place in the market etc.
I'll update when it drops. For me I have a lot of (electronic) loops I make and some of my music involves relooping and processing many times. Chuck a requirement for some sampler hits on top and then some mixup trigger points a la egoist and this is great. I don't use it to create a song, just layer some interesting stuff before whacking in my DAW for arranging.
To be honest there aren't that many loopers on iOS that will beat match a loop to the song bpm, so this is a step ahead for allowing me to pull in a bunch of loops from diff speeds!
I used to use ableton for live play and mashing up a song into new arrangements (years ago before it was a DAW) and this kind of fills the same gap too.
Have you checked out launchpad? The iPad version has audio import as well. Also, it's an old abandoned app, looptastic, but it still works for me and is way better than NXT. F that app. Unless you like paying to be a beta tester.
@gjcyrus
I see what you mean- I've had both Launchpad and Looptastic, they do have features in common with NXT. I recently reloaded Looptastics bro Studio HD onto my iPad, and had some fun until I A/B'ed the audio with other apps including NXT. The soundtrends libraries don't hold up. (This to my ear. They are ogg files which might make a difference). When I loaded my own WAV files into Looptastic HD in '11, (and here in StudioHD) and tried some simple multitasking, they crashed. I might put Launchpad back on the iPad to check it out. But from what I remember, even with the new FX on Launchpad, it doesn't have anywhere near the features or functionality of NXT, even if only comparing FX. Clip launching/looping is only one of the things NXT does. It has a sampler instrument, a drum kit sequencer, and fm synth along with a wav looper each of which becomes a clip to be launched and chained etc. it's more like Stroke Machine, in that it is a idiosyncratic take on a groove box, with the instruments and sequencing, but adds a clip launching control scheme - by which it becomes a fucking mindblower compositional tool for this monkey.
The Sound Trends app that's closer to NXT is actually "meta DJ", which includes Looptasic within it.
doesn't nxt have follow actions too or am I mistaken about that?
@kobamoto
There are key followers for modulations of most parameters. Key followers on fm synth operator parameters (4 each) can make for some funny games (coarse pitch for example) but they're available for parameters on the other kinds of clips here too. wav start and end points can be modulated and automated in the samplers also, which is pretty rare in iOS
@firejan82
I tried the export of a recorded performance, no issues, very nice audio- the downside is having recourse only to filesharing via ifunbox or iTunes...if AB or IAA is sorted the performances could simply record into another host. The great wish for me here is multi-stem export of recorded performances-
what about audio copy paste of performances?
@kobamoto
If there's a way currently I don't know it but I'm looking. I thought the rendered performances were only exportable via iTunes and fun box file share, but now I think there's some way in clip edit mode to record the performance and render it as a clip itself..and Clips can can be posted on the General paste
but this is unproven
@Littlewoodg thanks for checking. I'm on an iPad4, I know I tried 3 times and it was always panned to one side. It was also clipping and crashing when I pushed it a little. If it gets updated and gets some good reviews I might try it again.
Glad to hear it's still being developed/fixed. Most similar app to Ableton Live on iOS, imo. Its loop slicer/sequencer had Egoist and Abu Dhabi functionality well before those two. This thing's deep: auto-warping, a synth, generous effects, flexible groove adjustments, 'session view,' drum sampler as clip, clip rendering in place, multiple modulation per clip, XY controls, muti-routing (I think), scenes (with crossfader control) ... I think the sampler brackets snap to transients ... Needs the bug fixes, better import file management ... But it does accept open-in from Audioshare.
it needs good in depth tutorials
@kobamoto
True that
I realized that the solve for multi-stem output has been staring me in the face the whole time-
1 Create clips in NXT (wav, sampler, drumkit, fm synth)
2 perform with them, play with sequence, chaining, on/off, groups, timing, patterns, play play play (add, subtract, configure, compose)
3 render and paste each of your clips to ACP
4 copy clips from ACP into separate audio tracks in MTS or daw of choice
5 use what you found out in step 1 to lay out the composition, adding other tracks and fx as needed
6 if need be, use MTS's audio-to-midi conversion to repurpose imported audio for midi sequencing all those IAA and AB instruments...
From clip making/launching/arranging in NXT to track and song editing in MTS, BM2, or what have you, with wav editing, midi sequencing for additional voices, processing, and automation, best of both modes
An update cool i really like NXT
