    To the best of my knowledge the only way to get stuff from Audioshare into Takete is via the General Pasteboard.

    Here's my workflow...
    1. Make a noise/sound/loop in program of choice on iPad and save it into Audioshare using your preferred method
    2. From within Audioshare, adjust sound to taste, ie trim, normalise, make into a loop etc...
    3. Still within Audioshare, copy to General Pasteboard
    4. Now from within Takete I can load the sample from the General Pasteboard

    I'm having problems loading from iCloud, but that could just be me and my lack of experience with iCloud.

    Willing to accept I'm very wrong, none the less.

    DED

    That works....BUT for step 3 you can press the share button. the square with arrow on top. Then scroll across to copy to Takete.

    You can copy from the Audiocopy paste app as well by selecting the file, then press the GarageBand button, then step 4 from above.

    I tried the app and it doesn't work on Audiobus with the lite version.

    Can someone confirm that the app is able to be recorded in Loopy before I buy it this am?

    I just fixed this bug in Lite, there will be a new version available soon. It does work perfectly in the full version though.

    I bought the full version anyway.

    Now trying to free up time to explore it in great detail.

    The app is obviously unique and a true all in one musical and visual playground for the creative and intellectually curious. This app has all the nuance of modular synths and the flexibility of any IOS groovebox all under the umbrella of complete customization and personality.

    I would just like to see Audiopaste and Audioshare really allow the creative juices to flow with this app.

    You can "open in" Takete from Audioshare

    You can also AudioPaste. Though for some reason you seem to need to hit the edit button twice in order to see it. (Probably a bug methinks).

    At rustik .... Takete has the iCloud file management package thingy which includes AudioShare. I dont have my ipad atm so cant be more specific but it has the option.
    Ps Im very happy with my purchase. Go go Refine Team. you're the bomb

    I got the ICloud thing to work.

    Now I will examine all the other recommendations.

    I like the Icloud think now that I can access it from my PC as well. Easy as dropbox for me now on apps like this.

    Thanks yall

    I've given the idea hehind this app quite some credit in advance...
    intermediate result by the 'Lite' version:
    it's a way too premature release, which may severely spoil reputation - if not steered against
    all (intended ?) cool features are kind of lacking, a lot of controls are obscure to operate
    I know there's a hierarchy in signal flow/routing, but it just doesn't reveal during use
    sorry to write this, but one has to face the facts
    sack the whole thing as a concept evaluation and offer customers the 'real thing' once it's released

    I am sorry.

    At one point a certain number or fragments and run on sentences begin to cloud one's comprehension.

    I think I know what you meant though.

    I wanted to provide at least some background for my changed point of view and not just diss the app
    btw the Audioshare method does not work in 'Lite'

    You've really go to buy into the belief that the developer is going in the right direction with this, as most of us are, I'm sure. I've already sent Jonathan an e-mail with a few questions and I'm hoping he's receptive to ideas and suggestions for new features, and mods to existing ones.

    One thing I need to explore more, or have explained to me so it's clearer, is the limit of interaction of sound with the video clips, ie beat/transient detection, or the affect on the video by the audio's effects. I've got a lot of thoughts on how I'd like for this to work for me, but it might not fit in with Jonathan's current development strategy. However, I plan to send him them, none the less :)

    I've 'invested' forty English pounds; I have not just blown some cash on an app I'm looking to only spend a few hours with at the most. I'm in this for the journey.

    Thanks, for the heads-up, that's cool to know. If only I could access Audioshare from Takete, and load samples in from this direction, then that would be great.

    For the record, I DO think Takete is a very cool and unique app. Once it supports at least 1080p in 16:9, and he has a sale (a little rich for my blood, but that doesn't mean it's not worth it) I'll likely grab it myself. I spent enough time with it to recognize great potential. And, nothing else like it on iOS.

  • seachordseachord

    As a long time interface designer I find the interface to this... thing to be pretty horrific and quite user unfriendly. For $50 USD it better do something magical... But I'll never know. Meh.

    @RefinedStTech, if Takete is used as an Output slot in AudioBus; does that mean other AB apps can record directly into Takete; to be used as an audio loop? I tried to implement this function; but I could not figure out if it is possible. Will you be making a short video tutorial on these new features?

    I was able to use Takete in the input slot of AudioBus, and it works well. It even syncs well with Link. This is great!

    Yes, AB apps can record/play into Takete, their audio can be processed the same as any other Takete instrument. To use the audiobus input, you need an "External" instrument in a playing clip.

    I'll be doing some new tutorials including for AB this week.

  • RUST( i )KRUST( i )K

    Good to hear.

    I think people need grasp that considering most synth/seq apps are $8-12,, Fx apps are $3-$10-, Video apps are $20 and up, this on its face is a price that is representative of what I have used this app for and intent to in the future.

    The app is a challenge at times but the more I get the my satisfaction with the app is growing more than I thought

    I am using it right now as a "input". Mainly for melody, rhythms, and things like that. Record the individual parts in LOOPY. I am big on apps that do more than 1 thing. Animoog is my 100% time synth. So, I like the idea of a cool darker side of electronic music boutique groove and image production app to accompany it.

    I am still trying to figure out how to load a sample and play it in the matrix sequence thing.

    All I can do right now is load sample for granular keys or samples into the drum parts.

    I am still stumped on getting my own sound in the matrix seq thingy.

  • BiancaNeveBiancaNeve

    The Matrix thingy is meant to work with the granular

    MATRIX
    This grid style controller outputs MIDI notes based on the vertical values, the octave selected at the bottom and the scale selected in the top left. It currently is designed to work alongside Granular and its behaviour is otherwise undefined.

    Danged if I can figure out how though....

  • hacked_to_pieceshacked_to_pieces
    edited July 2016

    You don't load sounds into the matrix you load sounds into one of the instruments, then you assign a matrix to sequence the instrument. So for instance you would first load new instrument say the Granular, and for the controller select Matrix. Then press the load button to assign a sample to Granular. Now when you play the clip
    and press the keyboard icon you can access the matrix and the Granular and play it manually or enter notes
    in the matrix. You should watch all the videos he posted to get a better understanding.

  • null____voidnull____void

    I've gotten comfortable with only kowing how to work like 50% of the app, I should probably push that percentage up a bit eh?

  • RefinedStTechRefinedStTech

    This is the tutorial to watch if you want to understand the Matrix controller.

  • BiancaNeveBiancaNeve

    Did that, but i still can't make it work.

    Can we have some screen shots of how the matrix and granulars are set up please

    Sometimes to just need to mess with the Sustain and release knobs before you will hear any sound.
    Also make sure the volume is turned up on the mixer their all down be default when you start a new project.

    Thanks, that sort of does it, much fine tuning needed though or the granular keeps playing for ages but at least I can get some sound now.

    Ps I did have the mixer up, I'm not that dopey :)

    When you have notes in the matrix it will play until you turn it off by tapping the clip again or tapping its channel in the mixer will mute it.

    Yes, 1080p please!

  • bsantorobsantoro

    Do we really have enough disk space to store 1080p video data on our iPads? I would be satisfied to do 720p on my iPad Pro 12.7"; and leave 1080p for my Mac mini using VDMX5 software. I have hardly started doing video on my 128GB iPad Pro, and it is 85% full.

    It would be great if Apple improved their iOS file management to let all developers have a consistent way to off-load data to an external hard drive; not just iCloud Drive.

  • skiphuntskiphunt

    @bsantoro yes. I'm traveling and have several 1080p videos on my iPad air2. Even a few 4K. Handles it fine and I have plenty of storage. I'm not using more than about 60-90sec source clips though. 720p is fine for hobby stuff, but if you hope to use anything commercially or sell it, you need 1080p minimum.

    I think Takate could do this easily, but I don't think the dev is really much of a video guy and doesn't think it matters. I think his focus is more on sound with some low tech looking visuals to project live. I don't think good resolution and acurate aspect ratios are a priority for him. And he made Takate for himself basically.

    So, unless he starts moving s bunch of units, I doubt it's a priority. ;)

    Audio is the main focus of Takete the video is secondary. Sounds like you should be looking at an app thats primary focus is video. Pinnacle Studio Pro is highly regarded

    Thanks! I dig your work too!

    Actually, my last post wasn't a dig at all. It was recognizing that your priority isn't likely the video portion of the app. But dude, you're so freaking close to this being a visual artists dream. I would've given up a while ago, but it's almost there for me.

    I know some don't like the interface, but I think it's nearly genius. Though, it'd be cool if you could somehow split the matrix screen so that you've got access to some visual controls & audio controls at the same time so that you don't have to switch back and forth.

    So no. Pinnacle isn't what I need. What I want is Takate with 1080p at 16:9 output. :)

    I'm mostly interested in using it to make short form audio/visual pieces for my Seditionart.com gallery.

    ps.i already have Pinnacle studio Pro and it's good, but it's just a regular editor. It doesn't even do layering and there's little control over audio other than cuts, fades, and levels.

    Takate allows the user a more tactile approach in more of a synesthetic dynamic.

    Well it already gets CPU intensive when start getting a complex sets going with all the various effects and routing disk streaming (long player) plus poly mode for certain instruments etc. on channels etc . I don't see how adding 1080p is going to help matters at this point .That just my personal view I'm not saying I'm right or it can't be done.

    It already does this you can drag the effect icon into the main cell (matrix) and access
    the effect that are currently active. You can do the same in the mixer view as well.

    Yeah, I can see that. In my limited playing with lite, I never really got that complex with the audio stuff, but it seemed so responsive in general with all the little experiments I did.

    You're more of an expert on this than I am obviously, but it doesn't seem it'd be that big a leap to go from where you already are with some headroom, up to 1080p.

    But, if I'm the only one who seems to care about it, then I don't reckon it'd be worth your time to find out.

    I'll still keep following along on the sidelines with my fingers crossed for the next update. Keep up the good work. :)
