Yea it’s a fun and easy to use app, it was free for a while after release but at some point they decided to add a small price. My guess is to cover the cost of keeping it up on the App Store and keeping it updated warranted $1-$2
Thanks for the reply!
After a bit of digging, the difference seems to be more straightforward control over individual notes (probability, ratchet etc.), though you could still do this by ensuring the individual slider numbers were the same as corresponding notes, in PolyBud as well.
I agree though, the grid layout does look better for adding notes, than the sliders in PolyBud.
It’s cheap as chips at £3.99, but I’m wondering if I should stick with PolyBud and get used to its way of doing things. Hmmm…
Edit: just noticed it’s got Octave and Glide, which PB doesn’t have. I’m overthinking this…I’ll just buy it anyway!
Check the vids @egobeats kindly shared. They will probably answer your questions better than we can.
Thanks, yes - just saw your other reply:
I think that’s right, there’s a bit more to setup in PolyBud, this one does look more straightforward, which is a definite plus at times.
Sold!
Enjoy @oldsynthguy
Yeah, totally…. sometimes I just wanna be quick and get something out and other times I want to dial it in, so there’s room for both

I’m fairly new to the iOS music app buying scene. Having so much fun with loopy pro and several of the apps I’ve recently purchased, especially synths.
I’m looking at Drambo, Octachron, Patterning 3 right now - do they ever go on sale?
Side question: as we approach the Black Friday/Cyber Monday season; is this a period known for music app sales?
Hi @wagdog. You can download AppRaven to see the pricing history of apps. It gives a good clue on the developers sales pattern. A lot of apps go on sale during Black Friday and Cyber Monday, sometimes extending during the holiday season. It's a good time to create or bonify your toolbox.
Have fun making music,

4pockets (Octachron) throws 3 apps a week on sale til the following Wednesday you can find pretty much any tool you need through his stuff.
I don’t think 4pockets makes octachron
Yeah it's Markus Teufel

My B I was thinking Oscidia
No biggie
Just an fyi - AppRaven is also a website if you don’t want to use the app. I use the app, but sometimes if there is a website that is nearly identical to an app I use the web app to save space. Just thought I’d throw that out there. You can’t unlock that in a purchase on the website obviously but you can still see a lot of the same free information you get from the app.

Update - Actually I didn’t see price history on the website, just some basic sales info. In this case the app is a bit more comprehensive.
Update 2 - Also to find any app and look at details/pricing just search the app on the main page at the top search bar.

Hi @wagdog! I know Drambo and Octachron go on sale, because they were when I bought them. Couldn’t tell you how often, though. I probably found out from this thread.
An additional app I highly recommend checking out is Koala Sampler. I don’t think it ever goes on sale, because its regular price is only $5 and its IAPs are also cheap.
FWIW my most-used app is AUM, which I can’t recommend highly enough. I’m not aware of it ever going on sale. I have plenty of synths, but tbh I probably spend most of my time with the ones by AudioKit. You should also check out Decent Sampler.
Happy music-making!
Thanks all for the info, especially about appraven. I’m feeling like I’m gonna need more memory for my phone, lol.
They want a email adress for a 7day Trail. Ist Not free.
It’s not a trial, there’s full access… also, the ipad can come up with a separately generated address if you want, no?
Nah your phone has plenty of memory. You will probably want a new one with more storage space though. ☺️
@oldsynthguy
now that you have both Poly/Melody I thought you might enjoy @sfm 's short vidya showing how nicely they work with one another.

All of @cem_olcay 's stuff plays nicely with one another. If you own Autobass, try feeding the Midi Input from MelodyBud- it does fun stuff. Lately I have been using the recently updated Kebarp with Sopranotron2/vancouver/pipa into Kaleidoscope and the voicings are absolutely insane.
