For sure i'm getting a new ipad. I could go out and get one this weekend, but i'm holding out for a bigger upgrade in the fall when ios 9 and the new ipads are likely released. In the meantime, this self-enforced restriction forces me to do a lot more with less. Fewer tracks and fewer gadgets to choose from is a good thing for me right now because it's already too easy to just keep layering sounds and completely lose the plot.
True. I guess if you bring a lot of little sounds in with Bilbao to add some extra splashes then that's also workable.
Panic over..I got noise lol
I'm really focused on structure and dynamic changes these days. I have a few hundred intro/verse combos in gadget that i'm always working on and expanding. And I have a few thousand samples in dropbox, but besides custom drum kits, i use them pretty sparingly. The plan is to migrate the top 50-100 songs to ios 9 and then fully flesh them out with one shots, etc.
Unusual workflow. What type of music?
You have 50-100 sketches? Why don't u just focus on one track and finish it..

I'm developing my own style so it's going to take hundreds of tracks to fully refine it. Like when i hear one note by Ratatat, i instantly know it's them. Even the excercise of naming hundreds of songs i find to be worthwhile. This workflow isn't for everyone and it's not something i'm going to do forever, but it's part of a long term plan.
I have 300+ sketches, with 50-100 that i'm making changes to on at least a weekly basis.
Do you have a lot cats?
I have almost completely the opposite approach. I throw myself into a track and live with it for a few weeks, finish it, then move on.
That said I do have lots of unfinished bits and bobs and I quite like going back to the best stuff and then working into a track.
I wish you could merge projects in Gadget. Surely the fact you can't is going to make the above an a bit difficult?
I've been meaning to ask you about this. All too often I have something going on half way through a Gadget track which (the bell goes off in my head) suddenly strikes me as being possible perfect for another project. No good way of copying?
Lol, no. I learned how to spit out beats fast on an electribe emx-1, so Gadget was a quick pick-up. Works out to a beat a day over a year. No big deal.
I went to the rijksmuseum once and saw 100+ self portrait sketches that Rembrandt did just to do one finished piece and understood in that moment what it took..
So it doesn't run on the bus but syncs well with gadget?
No clock, how to sync well? So I guess use midiflow!
I was pretty satisfied with iSem too! good tool.
Ah yeah needs a third app. So does it run on AB?
no! No need on AB. It is midi thingy. It has "midi in" for your app to slave it to sync tempo!
Midi in has clock button!
I have found it very good use with Nave. It sends midi cc 16 and 17 to control Nave XY pad positions, of which you can assigned so many kind of parameters to X and Y slots. It has my Nave changed to be a very useful ambient app. Certainly, there is no other apps can make such swift operations to sculp further of your sounds. So don't shun away from this 5 bucks!
In summary: full joy
in conclusion: full tears
Yay! You guys made me buy it - Nave and Gadget... The missing app. So easy to use. Plenty of fun. Works with iVCS and FabFilters as well (will be even better on Auria Pro), but I didn't manage Cubasis yet.
OK Young Peanut, you I sense may be a reliable witness in this field full of boffins: Is it, you know, fool-Johnny-proof to use/set-up?
@JohnnyGoodyear Yes! that's why I share
Take a look at the interface... Simple and intuitive and it works. Instant use. Let Auxy play Nave or iVCS assign cc and tweak some LFOs is worth the price. You can record/automate into Auria or Gadget. It does all as I expected. It's perfect as a lot of apps get proper midi learn like AUFX, Animoog, Sugarbytes etc
This looks nice and easy to use.
Instead of buying it I decided to look at some Lemur templates and there is this one if anyone else is interested https://liine.net/en/products/lemur/premium/lmodit-lite/
have been trying it with Gadget, very cool and very deep, and free if you have Lemur of course. Only just barely scratched the surface. Lots of potential with it.
^Good point, Lemur's what was in my mind when i posted, there's a nice cc modulator as well but you can't modulate it's lfos with it iirc.
Love this app, but I'm unable to make the saw wave invert by making the bottom CC value larger than the top CC value as discussed in the manual. When I do this, the output just freezes until I move the values back so the bottom value is lower than the top value, then things are back to normal.
Is this happening for anyone else who's using this? What am I missing?
Also, does anyone know how to contact the developer? I can't find any contact info on his site.
I did experiment for you! I can give XY positions of Nave 2 negative cc values from midiLFOs, No XY pointer moving but sound can be modulated!
Hey audiohub, thanks for mentioning that, just tested it and you're right it doesn't work. I must have broken it with a last minute fix to something else, it did work at some point. I'll fix it in the first update, and will probably also add a reverse saw as a separate waveform.
Thanks for the kind words about the app, everyone!
I will also add a link to the support email address within the app in the next update. In the meantime it's support at the website that the app links you to (my name, dot com).
@artkerns - great app... and thanks for commenting here.
One request for the future would be for the app to send it's own midi clock which you could sync your destination with. This would mean you wouldn't have to use a 3rd app for a clock - which would make things a lot more streamlined and easier for people to set up.
I believe MidiBus has some midi clock libraries that it provides to devs.
Hey Matt, thanks! I have gone back and forth on this feature, it mostly goes back to keeping the midiLFOs app simple and focused. I can send a clock, I have code for it, but this app really isn't the app that should be sending a clock. It's a support app that should be able to sync with the primary device or app but it isn't where you go to start and stop a song/beat. The devices/apps it modulates really should be doing that, for midiLFOs sync is a bonus feature not its primary purpose.
I may change my mind though... it has been and still is on the list of possible things to add and I completely understand it is useful. But I'm resisting for now, sorry!
