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.
Snippet nuggets.
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.
Are you iPad/iPhone only as well?
I agree it’s a pain to use. Here’s hoping apple with get their heads out of their collective…posteriors.
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.
When I read that, I think of the viral TikTok versions of songs.
Snippet nuggets.
I think you’ll see the “Apple Glasses” (rumored name “Apple Reality”) before you see a touchscreen MacBook Pro.
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.
I don’t see myself going back either. For what I’m doing, the iPad is perfect. Experimental music paradise.
This must be nearly here surely?
Check out the influencer (shudder) demo of the desktop.

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).
Great, thanks for the explanation. If that is the case, do you think you'll enable it for Fluss and Hilda?
iOS is getting closer
I know reception has been lukewarm here (seems better on desktop) but the demos sound great and I’ve been really wanting a CS clone on iOS. I’ll be getting it unless the price is outrageous.
+1 but my guess is that the iPad version will be in the $29.99 region…
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.
Facts! Crystalline is a masterpiece. Pitch Drift is a core essential tool for me.
Has anyone here compared it to tal bassline on desktop?
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.
