Tabletop IAPs 50% off. Is the $14.99 bundle worth it?
I don't see a lot of tabletop use here, but am wondering if it is worth buying the bundle.
Comments
I like Tabletop. The best things about it are the "Table-ready": iMPC, iProphet, iMini, Phase84. They're not in the bundle I assume. You'd want the 3 IAA devices, and mastering modules, maybe the T-Pain, I like the auto-pan and the Buddha reverb...what comes in the bundle? I have the whole kit and am glad of it but that's me, I was an early adopter of Tabletop and actually paid for the basic app before it went free and the store filled up with devices, and I'm cool with having paid.
Great input. Here's a screenshot of the bundle:
The mixing stuff one would want is there...the x0x drum machine, the 303 emulation, both great, especially given automation of everything, I paid 10$ for the synth, which is a pretty wild pony. Fun, all of it, I say do it, but I'm just some guy
@Littlewoodg Serious question: Do you use it much? Comparatively?
As fickle as I am, I keep coming back to it because it's one of a very few apps I finish things in, and those things sound like my things.
Not quite sure if the bundle is worth it.
The most expensive thing on it is the RS4000 and that's a weird one. I always got a lot of ugly clipping with it.
I'm not into acid, trance or house music so no opinion on the 303 clone.
Glitchboard is very cool, lots of fun. XOX is a nice drum machine, there's 4 extra outputs so you could for example side-chain compress with the kick, side-chain expand with the snare and run the clap or hi-hat through the Ekko. I like side-chaining in Tabletop so PRSSR and XPNDR are cool.
TOO LATE NOW!
I'm glad I'm not in the next seat...
How so?
You mentioned you weren't certain if it was worth the splash, but I had already dived in
Ah, Mister Monzo, would that you were
Mrs. Goodyear always books us on a three seat row, her at the window, me on the aisle, as is our respective preference, and she plays the 'maybe there'll be no one in the middle' game. And there always is. Of course. So, instead, I always play the 'under/over' on 300 pounds as regards our new best friend. Sometimes I get lucky. Sometimes not so much. Hope he (it's always a he) likes cursing and badly designed trance/house/industrial....
I see, haha, too late indeed. Tabletop is great fun but it always had issues and unlike with Gadget you can't count on those issues being fixed, soon or ever.
Being a weirdo (and on a quest currently, in Alchemy, Animoog and other things within which you can layer/4-track sounds) I am thinking of starting out by using it to come up with samples FOR Gadget
Attaboy "Dr. Gooyear".
I'm starting to dig deep into tabletop, and I'm loving what I see. The sequencer functions similarly to how Gadget works in many respects, but the modular environment opens up TT for better experimentation. I finished picking up what IAPs I didn't have, and I plan to get an iTunes card to finish my collection of synths that can be used within TT's architecture.
In other words, if you want a great app for making some cool sounds, get the IAP's while they're half off! You won't regret it one iota.
I bought the bungle half off a while back and I also keep coming back to this app, I like the concept and some the FX I love.
the bungle ! Poetry.
I just wish all of the work one does in the standalone iMPC Pro app was also available within TT etc.
I have tabletop with some IAP's and have to say that I almost never use it. I only re download it whenever someone goes: 'Tabletop IAPs 50% off...'. Then I restore my purchases, plug in mini, then imp pro, then iprophet and then after 15mins of noodling I delete the whole lot all over again. Not sure why, just happens every time. I should have learned the lesson by now.
I do that with iMPC Pro, I think I secretly like being disappointed.
Think I'm gonna give this a whirl. I've always avoided Tabletop (because of the proprietary-ness of it). I would really like to see iMPC Pro actually work in a sandbox (I find it too cumbersome with IAA).
Cumbersome = doesn't work properly
@supadom
LOL! Same as me until I got really deep into it yesterday, actually bothered to learn all of its "ins and outs" so to speak, its limitations and how to push em, etc. Yes, there are days like yesterday where I devote every minute to learning a "foreign" app until it's a new "friend", to understand it better and learn about its "heritage". Lol. Now THAT'S poetic purple prose.
I just did this exact thing last night. I keep thinking, what if I get the inter app audio IAP or effects. Anybody think I should drop the 3.99 on them? I already have the bundle of original devices. Cueboard seems pointless with iMPc Pro. Or might just delete it all over again.
rolls eyes
Actually the definition goes like this: "cum·ber·some
ˈkəmbərsəm/Submit
adjective
large or heavy and therefore difficult to carry or use; unwieldy.
"cumbersome diving suits"
synonyms: unwieldy, unmanageable, awkward, clumsy, inconvenient, incommodious; More
slow or complicated and therefore inefficient.
"organizations with cumbersome hierarchical structures"
synonyms: complicated, complex, involved, inefficient, unwieldy, slow
"cumbersome procedures""
I was using the latter definition. But hey, semantics is fun!
Yeah I know what it means, I've been called the same thing on many occasions, I was merely pointing out that it's a polite way of saying the fucking thing don't work proper. Which via IAA, it don't, and as far as I can tell never has. So in that context 'cumbersome' could/should be replaced by the more accurate 'broken'.
Cumbersome = R€trom¥ms
@jwmmakerofmusic I did get into the app a couple of years ago when there wasn't very much on the scene and even managed to get 10 or more full songs out of it. Then AB 2, gadget and others came out and new ways of doing things emerged. The only thing that I didn't fully explore is mastermind. I tinkled with it a bit but found a long row of knobs with no names just a little too confusing.
I guess the re-downloading and trying to make it work for me is yet another symptom of the lack of proper all in one solution a la Logic or Ableton on IOS. It won't be long I'm certain.
I would not call your reply "polite"...more like smug and incomplete.
And you can only speak for yourself S far as your experiences with iMPC Pro and IAA. It does work for me in Audioshare IAA, but like I said, it's cumbersome (the actual definition).
3.99 - is that for ZIGNAL? If so, I don't think you should. You might as well audiopaste into one of the samplers. They should've made ZIGNAL free and MASTERMIND paid for because MASTERMIND is awesome. INTERFX is worth it, even though I'm only able to automate the Sugar Bytes apps. Cueboard is fun, I like it...
T-Pain is one of those I don't have, but i'm tempted! Is it worth the trouble? Even if not for vocals?
... I like to drag it on top of the mixer (auto route) and then drag the Glitchboard on top of that, chop it up, trigger the chops, glitch the chops.....
It's fun, I don't use it for vocals as such, just to pitch glitch a variety of input, but it is fun on the vocal samples that iMPC and iMPC pro have!
