I will go broke...$9.99 at a time, ha! App added.
Can you rearrange the effect positions?
@syrupcore - yes, any effect can go into any of the eight slots.
Hope they could do a quick update and add landscape mode
Thanks @mrzumi. Specifically, if I set a bunch of params and modulations on say the reverb unit, can I drag that param laden effect to a new slot and have it retain my settings?
I'm assuming here that it processes stuff in series starting from the top left, across all four too slots and the down to the bottom row.
This seems like a great app with plenty of features and a very thought out GUI. The videos look fantastic. Kudos to the team that put this app together. I came very close to purchasing it.
However, I am in the same boat as Derek and Phil. I have no need to glitch or crunk up my somewhat unintentional glitchy, crunky, tracks as they are. A non-realtime super duper effects app would be more to my liking.
That said, I hope everyone that acquires this app gets all they are looking for. Congrats to the developers for cross-developing to iOS.
Here's to hoping that more VST effects get ported over to our favorite platform.
@syrupcore - you can make presets within each effect.
@anyone else - I am not into Glitch. While this app is mainly designed and aimed at the Glitch/Crunk crowd, it is still quite usable in more subtle ways. It can add a little spice here and there as well as totally mangle stuff.
Ah. Thanks. Not quite real time rearrange but pretty damn close. Getting now.
Jerk.
@syrupcore - don't hate the messenger. Blame your parents about your weak willpower. ;-)
You know my name is actually Will and you're just showing off now, right!?
Also, holy hell. Amazing app. Not sure how someone who uses effects in any way wouldn't get something usable out of this.
But. Llllllllandscape. Xy pads on a different view == no problem. Just rotate the main UI and blow it up. Though maybe I should just go with it. Loopesque -> Turnado -> Loopy suddenly seems appealing. Other good portrait only apps I'm forgetting?
BM2 can send CCs to it for automation. I gather we are all Appoholics here. Nice to meet you.
I'll live without Landscape but PLEASE!!!
Dang! Already price up to $15. Have to think about this.
(note to self: read comments)

Dear Sugar Bytes: Landscape mode is not just a nice thing we want. Need to be able to plug in the CCK one way up, need the Pad not resting on the power button the other way up. Or need to spend another $50 on yet another stand. I eagerly await your update....
Meanwhile, holy crap! this thing is amazing.
Why yes, you can drag and drop to rearrange effect order on the main panel while keeping your unsaved parameter changes intact. This is so very cool.
Can anyone explain the sync start and stop options in the settings?. I haven't actually gotten one to work like I thought it would yet. Was hoping it would start based on midi clock. Nice that it has fixed measure recording!
Crashed on the bus with Auria twice. Haven't bothered to try it a 3rd time. Working well with loop on either side of it.
Special question:does anybody if it's possible to use an iphone with a controller app (TB Midi Stuff in my case)to make control changes in -say- Turnado on an ipad?WIRELESS is the key...i know about network midi but this works only with a notebook/desktop,right?
I wouldn't miss the landscape mode THAT much (at least in the beginning) if this would work.
Another thing is,Rim from Auria already asked the the guys to make it available via iAP in Auria.Don't know if i should wait now but miss the special price then.But if i buy it now i would probably buy it twice (i would prefer to have it in auria).Yes,another appaholic here

@syrupcore - one of the main portrait only apps I used the other day "Figure"
I was considering this and Alchemy yesterday. I spent more time with the free version of Alchemy, and still have no clue what people are hearing in the mobile version which entices them. The sounds just seem very canned to my ears.
So, that cleared the way for me to dig into this one. I think it's ok. As I play through a track and mess with it, I keep feeling very conscious of the fact that a lot of the effects cause volume dips that I'd really want to fix in mixing because they can steal energy from a line.
I would definitely enjoy this more as an automation enabled app in Auria for sure. I would also enjoy Auria's midi implementation to go along with it!
I'm really not sure if Turnado is supposed to sound like this, but when running the dictator, and sweeping with that master control, I seem to hear a lot of clipping that I haven't heard in any online videos for the desktop version, especially with all 8 effects in the row. I have a feeling it is mashing the CPU, but don't know. This is on a 4th Gen ipad.
I crashed the app immediately by turning on the midi-out setting, with a midi-compatible app in the background.
I haven't dug very deep into this yet and haven't read any documentation, these are just my initial impressions.
I checked out Sugar Bytes' site and definitely think they have very interesting software, especially the Cyclop, so maybe this will be the first step in them possibly bringing other titles in their library over, which would be cool by me.
I will be using this far more subtly than my primary effects chain (fabfilter), directly on doubled tracks within a project, or by comping into an original track in the project anything interesting which comes out of a session, while being very aware of its level.
I think a lot of ppl can use this as long as they don't use a ton of effects and keep it small. You can get more subtle stuff just by using simple reverb or guitar amp only its just like any effects the more you use the more "crunk" your beats lol
@AQ808 - I'm on iPad 2 and only once ran into little bit of CPU issues, but it wasn't with the dictator otherwise I've had no problems. I believe certain effects are more CPU intensive so the right mixture would def cause issues. In ref to the midi thing, I had it crash by turning on midi then moving either a knob or x/y pad but pretty sure I was doing something wrong or backwards. It does have CC Learn for most knobs if you press and hold it pops up
This thing is a beast...
Am still working my way theough the shed load of presets!
This seems really similar to LiveFX. I'm guessing it's not, but hoping someone here can tell me the differences and why this is or isn't better.
It's doesn't seem nearly as cpu intensive, there are waaaaaay more options you can tweak then LiveFX and you crave 4 x/y pads each can control 2 effects and you have 24 diff effects you can it anywhere, a million diff modulation and LFO settings with a ton of different waves to choose from including draw your own Midi Learn for the knobs and can control all 8 effects with The Dictator
I never messed with LiveFX, but the difference as far as I can tell is that you can go way deep into editing any effect you use, and its fully midi-programmable. No single XY pad like LiveFX, but the midi is there for that anyway. Seems for the desktop version it is popular to use the ipad Lemur app to control it. You'd have to go through all the midi device programming to get everything out of it.
It's probably the app LiveFX could someday be if it were continuously developed for the next 10 years.
There are a lot of other features, too. I think that's what pushed me to this one, while I avoided LiveFX since the day it launched. This has the ability to do heavily user-tweakable effects which I can't get from other sources. Really depends if you truly need effects for your music, but it is generally fun enough for the price to mess around with.
Cool. Thanks, guys.
Loved this line btw "It's probably the app LiveFX could someday be if it were continuously developed for the next 10 years". lol
Boone51,you'll be tweaking till your seed runs dry.
Sad but true, Boone.
Another opinion for guitarists - I spent some time running Ampkit through it yesterday, and it gets gnarly very quickly. I imagine that it's going to take a bunch of experimenting and, probably, manual reading in order to get it working well.
It's probably not going to add much for those who are into more traditional guitar tones, but just smacking the randomize dice a few times brought out some nastiness that I couldn't have gotten any other way. Nothing else sounds like this app.
If you're an experimenter, yeah, it's probably worth taking the plunge. It ran fine on my iPad 3 with Ampkit feeding it.
