    getting duplicate piano roll events in LP4i. possibly the plug-in is emitting MIDI out along with logic’s keyboard. will test in Cubasis

    edit: yep same behavior in cubasis duplicate MIDI events for every note. they should turn off MIDI passthrough

    @ninobeatz how can a ‘bug’ like this pass un-noticed considering it apparently had many extra betas with iOS specific fixes!?

    Possibly because people only jam with AUM when testing

    Not happening in NS2 all correct there, no doubled notes

    Does NS2 support AUv3 MIDI out ? If not then they averted this bug by luck lol

    Yes of course, pretty aware it's becasue of this "missing feature" :lol: Sometimes less is better :lol:

    I’m glad I picked this one up. A generous quantity of usable categorised presets. I read that the random preset generator also works well but have not had a chance to test that out.

    It’s definitely spitting out some usable stuff for me.

    The randomizer is the best I have come across, which will be welcomed by many - you can hear how fantastic it is in the video I posted on YT earlier. The synth also has 500+ presets. When you think how few presets some synths come with, how much some devs charge for preset IAPS (Bleass, for example) and how many people are mainly preset surfers or tweakers, that plus the randomizer alone is almost with the $20.

    23:00 The Randomiser is AMAZINGLY good!

    Agreed it’s easily one of the best. I do wish they’d implement something like TB did with Flowtones where you can control how “usable” it is so we can easily get some experimental and drone patches too.

    I’m more into making my own presets but I’m a sucker for a good randomizer.

    And despite my initial misgivings, I bought it. Can't wait to see what I can do with it after my shift. :)

    Awww yeah! BA-1 is mindblowing! It reminds me of why I love Gadget 2 so much - the powerful simplicity of many of the synths contained within. And BA-1 has a great sound to it!

    I think you are ready to start buying HW synths :) Believe me, that’s true reason why you like Gadget and now BA-1 - it’s glimpse of playing with real HW synth 😄 Believe me, just try it ;) start with something small … it’s whole new experience

    Ah if only I had the room, or a Mac and a mixing desk. 😂

    You don't need too much room or desktop or mixing desk.. there is lot of small options which you can record directly into iPad using just sound card .. i acually never used proper mixing desk and i am mostly buying just small desktop synths without keyboard or just with small 2 octave mini keys ...

    There is lot of options which are small in both dimmensions and price, but are giving great reasult in terms of fund and output sound quality ..

    Be sure to PM me some recommendations mate. :) I forgot I could use a USB-C soundcard 😂 (I just can't be faffed with a camera connection kit 🤣).

    I use a rack and my own Frankenstein “channel strip” with a tube preamp, compressor, and eq running into my interface that has been more than ample and haven’t found the need for a big setup with a mixing desk for hardware and can contain it to a small table. Doing a hybrid setup with hardware and iOS has been fabulous. I just use a behringer model d mostly and it’s so easy to dial something in and those analog filters and sonic character are hard to beat

    I'll take a look at that Model D on Sweetwater. :)

    I’m living in a tiny house so I don’t have room for hardware anymore but I am planning on buying the uno synth pro desktop because it is nice to have a hardware analog synth laying around for that extra oomph. And like you said, they’re so fun to play with. But that’s all the room I have so one will do for now. Plus my couple of Volcas and pocket operators I have laying around.

    All HW synths i currently have fits on small ikea table sized 55 cm x 55 cm :-)) You can do a lot with very small footprint ..

    Uno Synth Pro desktop is good choice .. also Dreadbox Typhon is great sounding / small sized synth.. or Dreadbox Nymphes which is even 6 voice polyphonic full analog ! There is lot options in small size format (Arturia Microfreak with their latest update which added granular synthesis and ability to use own samples is no brainer for that price)

    I love the Dreadbox stuff. Had the Erebus and Nyx for a long while and they sound amazing. Unfortunately those would require the addition of another midi controller which I also don’t have space for. I just use a Bluetooth one now. With the tiny house pretty much every square inch is accounted for so I gotta be careful with that. And since I’ll be setting it up every time, an all in one unit like the Uno synth is the ideal choice for me.

    My studio efficiency flat is 525sq feet/47.7sq m. What is yours mate? :)

    It’s about 350 sq ft total, including the porch area. So a pretty tiny space 😅 I’m excited though!

    But I don't have time to beta test the shit out of everything I get added to.

    Thankfully I (for now) get asked in advance if I'm interested instead of being bombarded with TestFlight links :sunglasses:

    If you want to get added to betas I get on, let me know and I'll suggest they add you if you're willing, I know you would be a great asset

    You can add me to the team in case of synths or especially daws/grooveboxes ;-) Also with my partial knowledge of few ios app coding details i would immodestly say i am great asset too :lol: :lol: My time is not unlimited but always glad to help improve interesting apps.

    Yes! You would also be great! Too many shitty beta testers lol

    Thanks Slush, I hope people will see that it is EXTREMELY objective. Many people thinking that Youtubers don’t talk about the negatives. It’s often true, but I ,for one, do not fall into that camp. Plenty to like, plenty that could be improved. Devs need this kind of frank criticism, and public platforms like YT are the best place to put it to ensure that they - and other devs - try harder. Desktop JUCE ports are especially guilty of multiple UI / UX fails.

    Gavin, I always like your videos, and good you stipulate the cons if necessary. But even if you where not objective I still would make up my own mind. For me, explanation of the synth and a run through the sounds is enough to judge if it’s for me or not. :)

    I'll take a look at that Model D on Sweetwater. :)

    before you pull the trigger watch those demos to get idea where those synths are sonically .. they are very different
    (btw. none of them has build in FXs so the delay/reverb you hear was added during recording)

    I think every one of those is extremely worth the money and you will hardly find on iOS something which can match them in whole sound range they cover. Maybe some speciffic sounds, but as sooon as you start apply more extreme modulations, as soon as you crank up resonance - there is just huge mojo on analog synths.

    Also the factor of physical knobs is.. at least for me STRONGLY inspirational. Can't be compared with midi controller, it's just something else..

    Behringer Model D

    Behringer Pro-1

    Behringer Cat

    Behrinter K2

    those all are monosynth, all in approx same price range

    this one is slightly more pricey but has build-int amazing FX unit. Also monophonic

    Then this one is 6 voice polyphonic (fully analog), no FX except of mono reverb which is not much useable :))

    Basically all those are for our purpose mentioned as sound source which you sample into iPad and use apply some FX plugins on them :)

    this one is slightly more pricey but has build-int amazing FX unit. Also monophonic

    Then this one is 6 voice polyphonic (fully analog), no FX except of mono reverb which is not much useable :))

    Basically all those are for our purpose mentioned as sound source which you sample into iPad and use apply some FX plugins on them :)

    Cheers mate. :) Thanks for the infos.

    Stupid question:

    In how far do I need this over Zeeon or DRC, and why?

    From pure synthesis capabilities perspective there's no real need, this app is all about the 'sound'.

    For me, lately, Twin3 kinda steal the show from others. But Zeeon is here to stay for a long time. ;)

    getting duplicate piano roll events in LP4i. possibly the plug-in is emitting MIDI out along with logic’s keyboard. will test in Cubasis

    edit: yep same behavior in cubasis duplicate MIDI events for every note. they should turn off MIDI passthrough

    @ninobeatz how can a ‘bug’ like this pass un-noticed considering it apparently had many extra betas with iOS specific fixes!?

    they replied to an email and said a fix is in house and will be rolled out shortly.

    My spirit rejoiceth.

    I took the time and made a mockup, so we can all see what will be so bad if they enlarge fonts more than 3 times. Also made faders more visible and worn those scales. Don’t judge, because I will hunt you in your nightmares. ;)

    Nice work!

    But designers like lots of "space" around things. Looks pretty.

    I'll take a look at that Model D on Sweetwater. :)

    before you pull the trigger watch those demos to get idea where those synths are sonically .. they are very different
    (btw. none of them has build in FXs so the delay/reverb you hear was added during recording)

    I think every one of those is extremely worth the money and you will hardly find on iOS something which can match them in whole sound range they cover. Maybe some speciffic sounds, but as sooon as you start apply more extreme modulations, as soon as you crank up resonance - there is just huge mojo on analog synths.

    Also the factor of physical knobs is.. at least for me STRONGLY inspirational. Can't be compared with midi controller, it's just something else..

    Man I want the Typhon so bad. Have since it came out. I’ve had terrible luck with Behringer synths so I don’t think I’ll ever use one again. I’m still undecided on what bit of hardware I wanna get but the Uno synth is in the lead simply due to space being such an issue. I am tempted to buy a Minifreak instead though.

    And despite my initial misgivings, I bought it. Can't wait to see what I can do with it after my shift. :)

    Awww yeah! BA-1 is mindblowing! It reminds me of why I love Gadget 2 so much - the powerful simplicity of many of the synths contained within. And BA-1 has a great sound to it!

    I think you are ready to start buying HW synths :) Believe me, that’s true reason why you like Gadget and now BA-1 - it’s glimpse of playing with real HW synth 😄 Believe me, just try it ;) start with something small … it’s whole new experience

    Ah if only I had the room, or a Mac and a mixing desk. 😂

    You don't need too much room or desktop or mixing desk.. there is lot of small options which you can record directly into iPad using just sound card .. i acually never used proper mixing desk and i am mostly buying just small desktop synths without keyboard or just with small 2 octave mini keys ...

    There is lot of options which are small in both dimmensions and price, but are giving great reasult in terms of fund and output sound quality ..

    Be sure to PM me some recommendations mate. :) I forgot I could use a USB-C soundcard 😂 (I just can't be faffed with a camera connection kit 🤣).

    I use a rack and my own Frankenstein “channel strip” with a tube preamp, compressor, and eq running into my interface that has been more than ample and haven’t found the need for a big setup with a mixing desk for hardware and can contain it to a small table. Doing a hybrid setup with hardware and iOS has been fabulous. I just use a behringer model d mostly and it’s so easy to dial something in and those analog filters and sonic character are hard to beat

    I'll take a look at that Model D on Sweetwater. :)

    I’m living in a tiny house so I don’t have room for hardware anymore but I am planning on buying the uno synth pro desktop because it is nice to have a hardware analog synth laying around for that extra oomph. And like you said, they’re so fun to play with. But that’s all the room I have so one will do for now. Plus my couple of Volcas and pocket operators I have laying around.

    All HW synths i currently have fits on small ikea table sized 55 cm x 55 cm :-)) You can do a lot with very small footprint ..

    Uno Synth Pro desktop is good choice .. also Dreadbox Typhon is great sounding / small sized synth.. or Dreadbox Nymphes which is even 6 voice polyphonic full analog ! There is lot options in small size format (Arturia Microfreak with their latest update which added granular synthesis and ability to use own samples is no brainer for that price)

    I love the Dreadbox stuff. Had the Erebus and Nyx for a long while and they sound amazing. Unfortunately those would require the addition of another midi controller which I also don’t have space for. I just use a Bluetooth one now. With the tiny house pretty much every square inch is accounted for so I gotta be careful with that. And since I’ll be setting it up every time, an all in one unit like the Uno synth is the ideal choice for me.

    My studio efficiency flat is 525sq feet/47.7sq m. What is yours mate? :)

    It’s about 350 sq ft total, including the porch area. So a pretty tiny space 😅 I’m excited though!

    Smaller than my flat. 😅 But yes, I do love my flat. Not much wiggle room for anything extra, but it's cosy here.

    Yeah I’ve always found smaller spaces to be more cozy. And I like the idea of “nothing extra”. All we have is either what we need or what we absolutely love. It’s interesting to see what you get rid of and what you can live without. Music wise I’m set with just my iPad but I am planning on getting one small hardware synth (probably an Uno synth pro or Minifreak) just for the fun of jamming with it and to bring to friends places to make some music there.

    Thank you @Simon!

    About Baby Audio, I love their graphics design. 🤩 It's really inspiring to me. For instance GUI from Crystalline, pure example of how simplicity, functionality and beauty can work together perfectly.

    But, what I think in the case of BA-1, they decided to take the retro route, ended up with too many text labels and then gave up at some point. I’m not judging them, deadlines, release pressure and all that jazz. Look and feel of BA-1 is actually beautiful, just that little finish touch.

    Did this mockup because of forum talks and curiosity, because talk is one thing and actual visual representation another. All this is just a glorified whining, because our sight is not what it used to be. 🥸

    You should sent the mockup to Baby Audio, you never know.. i think objectively your mockup looks MUCH better than original ! Maybe they will get inspired and update UI

  • Or maybe a regular & bold setting for the font.

    It really would be good if ANYONE AND EVERYONE who thinks the text is too small, especially with the app at smaller sizes, email Baby Audio and complain. Only if they understand the strength of feeling is it likely they will reconsider their future designs. I'd be surprised if existing apps get a UI overhaul, but if at least future apps come out with more legible labels even at smallish resizes, that would be a win of sorts.

    I've only got the BA 'freebies' and Crystalline for now and thankfully all Crystalline presets can be easily accessed from elsewhere within my host of choice making the built-in preset browser kinda redundant.

    Don't plan on creating, saving and sharing any user-presets in it and it's easy enough to tweak on-the-fly when needed.

    With that said I am a bit 'allergic' to form over function UIs even though I can sometimes make exceptions...
