At this point in the game, with so many awesome affordable apps, the question is not - is it worth my money?, the question is - is it awesome enough to be worth my time?
Sorry for some of you guys - not a single crash here iPad Air 2 iOS 8.1.2
Very kind, thank you
To be honest it's not just the money - I'm lucky enough to be able to afford a few frivolous app purchases - but the time wasted and disappointment factor.
At the end of a long working week, I like nothing more than a nice app treat followed by a few hours happy noodling, but far too often I end up getting frustrated by bugs and crashes. A bad end to the week instead of a happy one.
The vanishing sound in Dougs vid concerns me - I already have to jump through hoops to get audio channels to behave in Auria - throw another random variable into the mix and I'm not going to know if it's Aurias delightful input matrix causing the lack of sound, Audiobus or an effect playing up, or the random bug in Attack.
Bug matrix more like.
You are more than likely correct. I would have no idea how difficult adding automation would be. It is a nice dream still. Did you get this yet and if so what is your impression so far?
Indeed. And welcome to the forum—great to have you here. We're actually a pretty kind, if needy/wanty, bunch.
Well, that would depend on quite a few factors. I make dnb and techno, need loops fir gadget, so , for me this is perfect. I'm checking it out deeply and already have some unique techstep/ neuro dnb Beats going on.
I guess the awesome factor is dependant on what apps you would pitch this one against?
The UI is lovely, the visual animations side is appealing too, I'm liking all the controls and the ease of use. Not yet needed a manual or demos, so this tells me it's very well made, designed and thought out
But we live in a relative world..
@Tritonman I view it from a minimal techno perspective which is the 'other style' I'm quite liking. Most of things are intuitive to use apart from the vocoder which I still haven't managed to get to verbalise anything sounding remotely like that daft punky thing Waldorf have in their demo. I didn't get any more crashes other than the two reported earlier.
It's sure not going to make it into my live set up but it is quite enjoyable to mess with it pumping on my speakers with a bottle of beer in my hand, wasting time I don't have.
Edit: the app is definitely very capable and there's plenty to dig hands into. It will also require a fair share of user input but that's probably true of any software that gives you that amount of control.
To be completely honest if you already have ielectribe and aren't too fussed about the vocoder and don't have heaps of time to figure out this app's complexity I'd say let it pass.
Interesting and intriguing, vanishing sounds...perhaps device specific bugs..not sure
Of course, it's your money and prerogative
Just puzzles me how many are having a great time with the app and many aren't
But as a Waldorf rep is viewing the thread, I'm certain all will work out in the end..
Did u get cyclop and iM1 btw?
>
Haven't got Cyclop yet but bought iM1 and the IAP's - best music app I've bought for months, really good.
I am still tempted by Attack - it's just cheap enough to warrant a nights noodling, if nothing else.
When you save a song - does it automatically save all the synth settings you've made?
Cool. Those are some scary-ass monks you got over there
Absolutely. Vive la difference etc. One of the things I like/look for in apps is not just can they do one thing well, but can they be used in the service of many things (styles)? Mostly, I grant you, because I'm all over the place, but still....
@JohnnyGoodyear said: I hear you, and it's a great example of why testing is so important. I haven't had any of these crashes and therefore don't share your feelings. Respect them though. Take a deep breath and see if the first fix helps I guess...

Yep. Feelings are good. I have a whole bunch here I've been collecting up
Monzo clambers back onto the fence...

TBH, and for the sake of a few Friday night shekels if you end up buying the full-cost version one day, I sense that that might be the best place for you right now....Mister Dom makes a decent point about ielectribe, especially regarding the automation.....
After seeing Doug's excellent video I now wish I didn't buy the app. I was mainly interested in the vocoder. I thought you would type in the words and play..... but not so.
It's not necessarily about genres I just like to experimentally tweak and have fun
apps like Stroke Machine, ElasticDrums, iELECTRIBE, SeekBeats.
this app is giving everyone a workout emotionally, physically, etc.
Ok - so am I being slow? My saved songs do not save anything pattern notes?
I create a pattern (one bar) don't do anything really not selecting bar in song mode, or changing sound set. Save as new name, close and reopen app.... Nothing in pattern!
Air2 8.3
Edit..... Hmm ok it saves the pattern only once I've assigned it to the song. Subsequent patterns save even if not added to the song, but maybe 1st one needs adding.
@JohnnyGoodyear
Everybody is feeling that
I don't know, seems a bit plain and dated, like it was designed in 2001.
Okay, so it doesn't have automation, but what about the effects and other settings? Are they saved per pattern? In other words, could you get some variety by having one pattern apply different effects and settings from the previous pattern?
@1P18
The fx apply universal cant make changes , so you cant.
Some words about the MIDI input into Attack Drums from Cubasis for example.
You can choose Attack in Cubasis for receiving MIDI and can also route Attacks audio out as an IAA input into Cubasis at the same time.
The MIDI in mapping in Attack works like this:
If you select sound 1 in Attack, you can trigger it on MIDI channel 1 in Cubasis.
If you want to trigger sound 2 in Attack, you can trigger it on MIDI channel 2 in Cubasis and so on... It depends on the first sound you select in Attack.
If sound 4 is selected in Attack, MIDI channel 1 triggers it and MIDI channel 2 triggers sound 5 and so on.
So far we just process MIDI channel 1-16 (there are no more MIDI channels). We consider to use 2 MIDI inputs for a future update.
I want to thank you all for sharing your feelings and impression on Attack. Didn't knew that it will create such a big buzz and such extremely ambivalent opinions.
And one more thing I can say is that we will definitely improve Attack in future to make it much better than it already is.
I think effect settings are saved per song not per pattern but that would be a great feature request as would parameter automation record per pattern
Excellent thanks, tested this in Genome. This opens up some more possibilities. Would be great in future if in the app you could define which sound goes to which channel (and even ability to split different sounds over single channels)
Glad to hear it's going to get further development
I can see why the app is divisive, but it's a great version 1.0 in my view.
Is automation planned for the future?
The iMS-20 does this wonderfully. All settings are saved per pattern, plus it allows you to automate within each pattern. You can string together some really cool stuff.
The synth engine definitely looks solid in Attack though, almost worth getting just for that.
Hi @Christian welcome. You've probably worked that out already but seems like automation (I.e. Recording movements of the knobs within a sequence, even without edit) would be the most amazing and probably desired addition.
I was very surprised to learn it did not really.
That's the bit that's got my attention too - tasty.
Yes, I'm on ipad2 - ios7. And I've got the same.
At the moment, I'm not too appy.
Thanks for the explanation,sounds good to me.i'm gonna buy it tomorrow (of to a party in a few minutes,no time for fiddling now :-) but one question:is it also possible to have all 24 drums on one midi channel?Would be much quicker to work on ideas for me if i can fire them up from a keyboard or drumpads.Not sure if i would use the internal sequencer (at least without sync and only 16 steps) so that would be nice.
