Hey @animal, on YT it only goes up to 3 so there's that.. Must be still uploading or compressing or whatever other stuff it has to go through
.
Well all in all this is keeping my Auria Pro hunger at bay. (A little)
number 8, finally!
weird that they shouldn't play, I've set them all to public. I don't find a way to look up the status from the iPad, is that possible? If so, please advice me...
^ This one also no play..
Someone will be along in a minute...
Here's a playlist of all 8, maybe it works better that way?:
, Anyways, I can play them right here... . If really not playable, I'll have a look tomorrow (can't reach my Mac till then-).
Cheers, t
Yep! They come up as '[Private Video]'... (From 4 onwards that is)
Tomorrow then!
Hmmm, I can play them right here on the forumpages..., maybe because it's me that posted them? Anybody know? Anyways I'll try some more and .....maybe tomorrow. Sorry, if it doesn't work yet.
@animal
Youtube video?
enter the account to make viewer available to privete or to public.
Tim Webb's put a thing up too:
@kaikoo: yeah but how's that work on the iPad?, or does it at all? I didn't find it.
Probably a really bad time for me to get a copy of the new Squarepusher album today, considering I'm trying to resist this app and nearly every track seems to be using this one...
Ha, ha... half a bottle of beer and the Tim Webb video... I i'm getting it... I cannot do anything like that (without a week of solid programming and automating) in Gadget and Auria!
ohh what a tease
I just tried the bass synth in Gadget to see if I could make a similar noise. I couldn't. Damn.
I'm quite pleased I feel indifferent to this one (although I'm sure if it eventually goes on sale I'll be tempted). I've played with the desktop version and it's fun, but the sounds are a bit manufactured sounding to me. I can see the appeal for folk into Dubstep music though. However I'm sure you could produce some pretty original stuff with it given some time.
Animoog Bass patches into Dedalus are sounding much more unique to me.....Actually I'm glad I tried that it's quelled my sugarbytes app fever
Can you run the desktop version as a standalone, or does it need a host app?
You can use it standalone or through a host.
Thanks, I'll give the demo a spin
You could do a Prince cover with it?
Hahaha! Resisted this and just got myself volca bass instead.
The tide that raises all boats....I love how the few of us who haven't bought this have brandished our independence and freedom by buying something else!
Men! To the wallets!
@JohnnyGoodyear
Ya! I have bought a non-return tickets to Mars,
So As a satisfied customer, I will also bring my Cyclop there to joy with my Timeless2. I will echo you back, if I need more apps.
Just mentioned Cyclop with Timeless2, What a great sound journey inside Auria slot!
Really an interstellar soundscaper experience!
I couldn't have included it into my live rig anyway so no point for me. Besides, it never really tickled my fancy anyway, sound or UI. I'll be looping at a festival in June so need some hands on flashy hardware with lights and all. I haven't given in to Nave and IPolysix so I guess I'm going to add this to the missed opportunity list.
This thread is sure growing quick. Serious contender to 1k+ gadget massive.
Right. I've had a decent play... Which I'll summarise in a moment. But....
Big headline for me is: THE TEMPO IS OFF
I'm pretty sure I've not got this wrong (on iPad mini 2 ios8.3).
I think it's a coding mistake. You need to set Cyclop to 130BPM to achieve 120BPM for all the Cyclop sequencer stuff and the wobble rate values. So to get a true 140BPM I had to set to 151.6 in Cyclop.
This was me testing against Auxy and Gadget.
Could someone else check this please? Easiest way is to just send it perfect bar notes from a midi sequencer and watch the sequencers in cyclops. They run too slow.
Apart from that, it's freaking amazing
.
If you want a baseline phrase (or I assume a lead part) with lots of 'movement' and texture to it, then it's so perfect for that. The internal automation over time is what it's all about. It's streets ahead of any other iOS synth in this department I think.
You send it a few bars of notes (looping) from Auxy or something similar and then get to work transforming that few bars into a completely crazy (or more subtly flowing) heavily modulated phrase of music. Most stuff you do on the modulation seems to sound interesting, high quality and fairly smooth (I.e. Not too horrible and glitchy). Just like a synth like FM4, I found that it was often a case of some 'intelligent guess' fiddling and experimentation to get the type of sounds I liked. But it's basically all there on one screen and it's pretty easy just to get stuck in.
The 2 synth modules remind me a bit of Gadget in a way in that they feel incredibly simple actually (eg, once you've loaded them up, they normally just have 3 knobs to twist each). You can mute each one which is useful. Then they go through the filters (I need to figure out the different filter configurations actually). That's pretty much it in terms of the actual sound. It's simplicity is brilliant I think.
Then everything else is about FXing it over time. Wobbling it, morphing it, having sequenced FX applied like Effitrix.
It's ridiculously well designed like this I think.
I also think it sounds fantastic quality wise.
And the sub bass (even on its own) sounds lovely.
For making 'modern' electronic music (especially bass focused music) that has that 'modern production' feel I think this is a no brainer TBH.
I think it would also excell in the 'interesting and unusual noises' synth category if you spent a bit of time taming it. The granualar synthesis synth particularly has huge potential for this I think, given you can bring in your own samples from iTunes sharing folder or even pull in a track from your iTunes library as a source. There are also lots and lots of wavs included.
The one compliant I have right now is I can't work out the saving and loading of patches. It looks incredibly powerful - but having saved a patch I can find it but simply can't wirkout how to load it!
Hope this helpful.
I'm very glad I bought it now because it's so much fun and unlike Thor and Z3ta I feel I get its workings a lot more.

Hi Matt, how do the wobble rates work? Is it like Miami, where you set the tempo like a delay? 3/16 for example? Thanks
If they'd ditched the slick vids and trendy band endorsements they could have knocked a fiver off the purchase price....
Good/useful intelligible review Mister Matt. Appreciate your effort and share etc. You convey the nature (and potential nature) of the beast well
Interesting to see what SB (or others) have to say about the tempo....
The hardest part I think is how you actually lay out your modulation matrix! It needs time to digest your experiences. That is the time you enter into expert mode of sound creation! When you get bored with it, That is also the time I will appreciate the transformer engine, I guess! So the possibilites is not ending!
