I might just be the first in line
Very much looking forward to taking it for a spin!
Oh hah. Not on the Baby Audio developer page, but just picked it up via direct search!
Gonna take a swing now! Hella excited! 😁
@tristan
Amazing plugin! Gonna have a lot of fun with this.
The randomise button only adds/changes modules in the bottom row, and any top row modules remain unchanged (i.el the choice of module remains the same) but their parameters are randomised. Is this intended behaviour?
Yeah, this is really good. Could I do it in Drambo? Of course. Do I want to do it in Drambo, every time? Not really… lol. This gets along perfectly with Loopy Pro. Great work BA, and the affordable price tag is much appreciated.
This + M8 = superpowered radness.
The upper ones are locked, the lower ones unlocked. You can change that with the lock symbol.
Could anyone who has this already check a few things please?:
In the desktop version you bypass modules by clicking their little yellow top left circle, right clicking solos it. Without a mouse, is there a way to do that on iOS? (long click?)
On desktop you hold CTRL while adjusting pitch in the Pitch+ module to transpose in semitones. Is there a way to do this on iOS?
Right click on a range to invert the start and end points without changing the values - how does this work on iOS?
And do touch points work well? Is it easy to grab things and move them (eg the yellow circles in fx, or the start and end values for knob ranges?)
@Gavinski
It doesn’t seem like you can solo modules. No double tap or long press or anything I could figure out. @tristan ?
In the Pitch+ module do you mean transpose by cents? Because that’s what you get. I’d be more concerned about needing to carefully dial in semitones, but I don’t imagine it’s something I’d be doing live at least.
The touch points do work well, no problem in regular view, but there’s also the zoom of course. But I don’t find it finicky at all, it’s good.
Right click and CTRL: I don't think you can, Gav. I tried, but without success.
Touch points: on my 11" iPad in portrait mode, the yellow on/off circles are sometimes difficult to hit. In landscape mode, it is much better. The start / end values are okayish in portrait mode. With the Apple pencil it is a lot better.
Thnx Tim and Dan, maybe a few things for Baby Audio to take a look at there
@timfromtheborder about the Pitch+ module, the way the manual descibed it it sounded like free pitch was the default, with a mouse shortcut used for semitones. So I guess you’re saying they made semitones the iOS default with no clear way to get free pitch? Hmm
As far as I can see there's no 'lock to semitones' in either of the pitch or pitch+ modules so it's more or less 'free' but it is a bit tricky to accurately set the value to for example 4 semitones as it the smallest steps are 3.97 and 4.04 (with my sausage fingers) while some others have a slot for x.00. So yeah not super optimal in all cases but it's quite rare to hear a deviation of 0.01 semitones unless directly comparing it to another source which would create slight phasing.
There might be 'keyboard shortcuts' to lock it but as I don't use a keyboard with my iPad some others might be able to check that...
There are no plugin specific keyboard shortcuts in hosts tho. Things like this need to be set up for gestures. Long press? Maybe some kind of alt button on the UI etc?
I've sent a suggestion of adding a 'lock' function similar to 'sync' lock for the tempo-based modules which should be enough in most cases, meaning when enabled the knobs lock to semitones, when disabled it's more or less 'free'.
Completely agree, a ‘lock to semitones’ or text input for exact values option is required really.
A sequencer with user selectable steps for the Sequencer mode could be an interesting addition too?
Really superb plugin, congratulations and thanks @tristan.
Good, and they'd also ideally want to implement ways to:
a) solo modules
b) invert start and end points for knobs
Two questions:
This is absolutely excellent, really useful for subtle effects on each track too.
Top notch, will keep my eyes open for a desktop version sale now too!
Was concerned this was an unnecessary addition if I’d already got Turnado, but it has a completely different feel, and also works on my phone. Great stuff!
Just gave it a try on my iphone. I shall later use it on my ipad. I think it’s too fidley for a phone.
Sounds great though.
B can already be done easily, just move the start point past the end point and vice versa, the range changes color.
Sure you can do that but it's not the same as the invert feature mentioned in the manual: 'Right click on a range to invert the start and end points without changing the value'
Also btw, I remember that some actions which should have been simple weren't actually that simple in Transit 1, due to touch points behaving a bit strangely. When trying to change the slope without I often unintentionally changed the range. Hope those kinds of things work better in the new version, they're the kind of things that matter a lot imo
True, thankfully there's at least a zoom option for each of the modules, something that's not present in the desktop version.
As for the 'range inversion', to avoid relying to heavily on on keyboard and mouse (the iPad is after all primarily a 'Touch Device' not a 'Laptop Substitute') a simple <> icon under each knob would likely be enough...
If I'm honest I do feel that the 'Transit Hype' will be gone within ~3 months or less...
(I don't see it mentioned anywhere nor being used by anyone in particular).
Yes, extra buttons if possible is better than needing long presses for example, I think. Long presses sometimes trigger accidentally in apps (I'm speaking in general here) when you're simply moving a knob slowly and not trying to long press...
Ok cheers I’ll check that out.
If you tap the name at the top of the box, it brings up a list of fx, including a ‘clear’ option.
