Even a simple Gadget to Audioshare would be nice! Still the extra step but all offline.
Ps: I like to keep things offline (In the music making progress) as mush as pos!
You are a very clever fellow Señor Kaikoo, but also somewhat unnerving. I like that in a man.
iMS20 is still one of the best IMO. It's 4 part multitimbral unlike most iOS synths.
@yug
Great tip there, off to make some custom kits..
Bah hell. Found a work around with Retronyms' Audiopaste app or whatever anyway. Thanks.
As for Gadget vs iMS-20, I think Gadget wins out. I have a hardware MS-20 Mini and I love it to death, but the thing I really like about CV-based hardware synths is that they connect so well with other hardware things. It's good fun sending its signal and LFO to a Microbrute and running that through a few guitar pedals, it's not something you can recreate in an app or even in a DAW. I'd say it'd be a good app for learning synthesis in general but the 20's structure is so effing weird (the patchbay is the least weird bit, seriously) that it's hard to connect what you did with basic synthesis principles.
That's why I like Gadget - it's so user-friendly. Well, of course there is always some place for improvement, but nothing is perfect - we all know that
BTW you can also copy your samples to Gadget via iTunes (subfolders not supported atm.) and avoid using Dropbox at all. The method remains almost the same - you tap the Sample button and then User instead of Import
You need to install and use the audiocopy app in order for the sample's name to come through. This is essential for me.
I HATE the audiocopy app ;-)
Me too. Quite visceral. Odd really, but there you are.
I have never been able to understand the logic of AudioCopy. Somehow I send something to it, go through loads of different screens and dialogs and then seem to end up with something in AudioShare having no clue what process I have just taken part in. Just feels so unnecessary.
Apart from the renaming maybe, that bit's good when needed....
I can live with it. It fails to copy if it's not launched. It just launches. Then you have to do the copy again.
It slowly builds up file size (unless you clean it up) because it keeps everything you copy. But this can sometimes be useful. For example batch copying 16 samples from audioshare.
I'm glad someone else noticed this - I just thought it was me.
How do you clean it up - if you delete the samples from the app directly will they still remain elsewhere (e.g. Gadget)?
Yes. Gadget (and all the other apps) keep their own copies. You can delete from Audiocopy once you have it in Gadget.
You can delete one by one from within audiocopy. Or do what I do which is every so often go onto my Mac, hook up with iFunbox or iTunes and kill the whole lot.
Latest version of iFunbox on the Mac now works for apps 'documents' folders by the way. Just not for the apps other application folders.
Oh how I wish Korg could implement 'step recording' into Gadget together with a 'bigger' onscreen keyboard similar to what is available in iPolySix, iMS-20 and iM1 and also add preset chords like we have in Cubasis.
A way to set global 'Scale' would be welcome too as it's pretty annoying to change it all the time...
A proper 'Sampler' (with sampling where the samples would be available to all gadgets) would be my next wish as far as 'Gadgets' go...
@Samu, have you taken a look at Yamaha's Sequencer and Drum Pad app? I often use it as a velocity sensitive controller for other apps and the drum pads can play completely customizable chords. You can even split the pads and have two chords per pad.
Added: Also, I think it's still free.
Sorry, it's actually called, Synth Arp & Drum Pad.
@rocco I have both of them and they come in handy but for Gadget a bigger 'built-in' keyboard would be a better solution. It's would be easy for Korg to include it as they already have it in their other apps, and if they do include it in Gadget maybe they could include a global arpeggiator too
I hope Yamaha will 'catch up' with a few more apps. I'm still waiting for a virtual SW1000XG for iOS and well, a stand alone version of the AN2015 synth with access to all parameters (I miss the PLG-150AN that i had attached to my SW1000XG).
It's a shame that the keyboard in iM1 isn't velocity sensitive, because the combi patches are so much fun to play with velocity. Since some layers are only triggered at certain velocities, you're not really getting the full flavor of the combis using the in-app keyboard.
@rocco I fully agree, most touch-screen keyboards implement velocity on the y-axis of the key.
I hope Korg people drop in here to check up on the situation, there is a lot of 'love' for Korg apps here
Audiocopy was the only way to move files between apps before audiobus. Even now things haven't changed much, especially in regards to working with loops which is the way a lot of electronic music seems to evolve around. I presume you still haven't discover its usefulness. I remember thinking the same a couple of years ago when the whole forum was buzzing about it.
It's probably because I so rarely use loops that I always find the audio copy bit baffling. On the other hand I find audioshare essential.
@supadom sorry to be dull of mind, but what is the special 'loop power' that AudioCopy offers, apart from the renaming, which is useful etc.?
Apologies to all concerned. As usual I was eavesdropping on that particular conversation without realising you were talking about the retronyms app as opposed to the function of audio copy which I love and use all the time. Retronyms definitely missed the boat with their app. Apparently it is a battery hog too. @JohnnyGoodyear @Jocphone
Promise to oneself: read posts properly even while sharing the brain power between other baby related activities and the forum.
No worries. You get two years of brain mush pardon minimum, part of the Forum paternity package.
If you use a MIDI keyboard with iM1, do you get the yummy velocity goodness?
Absolutely. Even works using another app with velocity, ie: Fretless Brass or Yamaha's Synth Arp and Drum Pad, as a controller.
Ah, excellent. Thanks.
Actually, I may have spoken too soon about Fretless, but the Yamaha app definitely works.
Added: It looks like Fretless works, but it seems you have to pick a patch from a GM list... And, I think those go to Progs not Combis... I dunno, maybe I'm missing something there...
