    tried it on desktop. boringggggg. Same old shit, with a "battery" slider, however they did not execute the voltage drop very well. Besides that and the speaker emulation, which is basically just a filter, this thing is just any other synth.

    Exactly what I was assuming about the synth upon reveal. It's basically "What can this synth do that other synths combined with effects can't do?"

    Why don't you download their trial desktop version and then make a judgement?

    I don't own a desktop/laptop. Just iPad and iPhone.

    Ah. Got it. I was there myself for a year with an iPad Pro only. They’re great, but sometimes a laptop or desktop are really needed.

    That's true, but all I could afford is a cheaper Windows laptop, and Windows is not my friend. 😂 So that's a "no thank you sir".

    Yep I do everything on my iPad Pro.

    I’m actually thinking of getting a cheap surface pro to run a few desktop only VSTs. I’ve seen it used to pretty good effect before. I’m also iPhone/iPad only and don’t usually find myself yearning for anything else, but it would be nice to have on occasion.

    I kinda like being iPad only at times, though. Idk how else to explain it other than I feel at home there 😂 cringe alert 🚨

    I fired up GarageBand for the first time on my work MacBook this week, just to try the twin 3 demo.

    Twin 3 was awesome, but using a mouse was all clicky and horrible! And I felt like I was at work!

    My iPad felt like hardware in comparison. I’m definitely not switching until MacBooks are touch screen at the least!

    Agreed. Wish apple would just get over themselves and make the iPad Pro an actual pro device with MacBook functionality.

    It would be nice. I had to dust off my dad’s Windows laptop to unbrick an old iPad and it was absolutely torture to use and navigate. I really hate laptops and desktops.

  • Snuggets seems like the obvious portmanteau

  • You know when you really want to like something? I haven't bothered to check the demo, I'll probably just jump straight in on iOS release.

    CS01 was the first synth I ever played with and my Reface CS is my only hardware that I'll never even consider selling. Bring on the release...

  • The limitations with it are just too much of a bummer. As an avid user of phase plant, I don’t think I’m the target audience for this

    I sold my CS and deeply regret it. Definitely gonna be buying another at some point. It’s a fantastic synth.

    Oof. Yeah, Windows is torture to use, and a Macbook is expensive to purchase, and there seems to be no in-between desktop/laptop environment, where iPad Pro is expensive, but less so than a Macbook.

    In my opinion, in the future it is possible that MacBooks will be touch screen but at what price , no cheap for sure. But it will not a small change , new OS , need to redesign all big softwares and VST , change the GUI big challenge for dev and you will need to pay extra software price for that.

    An other alternative will for Apple to go for a new OS ( end of iOS ) for IPAD with a 15 inch IPAD. High price target ?

    To know the future we need to look to OS evolution.

    Fabfilter was made for desktops software their main market. Personally I got no problems with fabfilter on IPad as I use the Apple Pencil to use their software when it is needed.

    I think you’ll see the “Apple Glasses” (rumored name “Apple Reality”) before you see a touchscreen MacBook Pro.

    I agree it’s a pain to use. Here’s hoping apple with get their heads out of their collective…posteriors.

    Most definitely am, and can’t see going back, even with the superior music-making ability and sheer options of the Macbook. Both of my parents quit using laptops/desktops as well as soon as they inherited my “old” (2017 and 2020, still wayyy functional for them) iPads.

    The Windows machine is from 2017 still and the wait time for updates/restarts, RAM loading time, popups, the weird different navigation and start menu (Windows XP for life) and amount of times I thought it had frozen up had me extremely first-world frustrated, to use a buzz term.

  • Y'all convinced me not to get this one, lol.

    That, and being reminded that Ableton released a free new synth called Drift. Might as well try it before throwing money away on something that might never be used.

    More precisely it’s an AUv3 standard issue. The standard does not allow AUMU (instrument plugins) to have input channels.

    Only effect plugins can have audio input channels.

    The instrument plugin will not pass AUVal certification if you try to add input channels, which means that even on desktop it will not be possible on an AUv3.

    Then lets hope Apple will fix it soon then?!

    If it's a matter of 'passing a validation' I think the function that validates them will sooner or later allow them to pass.
    This especially since Logic is on it's way for the iPad and failing existing plug-ins will not be a good user-experience.

    So in short the 'Audio Unit' that Baby Audio ships for the Mac is not AUv3 but the 'old style'?!
    (This since I can use Side-Chain with BA-1 in Logic).

    Hopefully WWDC'23 will shed some light on it and when iPadOS17 ships later on this year things might have a chance to get sorted out...

    So under the current AUv3 standard the only way for a plugin to have both MIDI and audio input is as an effect (MFX?), but since Apple's current reference implementation on the platform (GarageBand) doesn't implement it, you're not providing that in your plugins. Or at least that's what I understood from your reply on the Hilda thread. Did I get that right?

    Yes, that's correct. But I expect that MIDI routing to an effect will be possible in Logic Pro, so music effects will most likely be supported in it (=my expectation, not based on any insider information).

    That’s exactly what I’m afraid of. At that price I’ll have to do more research and I’ll be a bit more hesitant but I wouldn’t rule it out completely as I think they make real quality plugins. Crystalline is a masterpiece as far as I’m concerned.

    I’ll admit I’ve been throwing pitch drift on more and more things lately 😂 it’s great for that little ✨ on a synth part.

    I regret I waited so long to get Crystalline as it’s one of my favorite verbs now. I don’t see it get mentioned here much but I love Timeverb from GSI too.

    This guy seems really stressed out over a simple video. Couldn’t watch. Made me antsy

  • He gave it 5 out of 10 stars, plastic and artificial sound… ew! But is seems to be a success of the desktop according to the developer so good for them.

    Yeah Logic's reverbs have nothing on Crystalline and FAC Alteza. My ambient pieces wouldn't be the same without them.

  • That said, the more that time passes, the more I'm warming up to the idea of trying out BA-1, not as an Ambient synth but rather for my Lofi productions.
