What sequel should be developed to a music app you love?

Luxthor · August 3

If I need to choose only one app, it would definitely be Atom 3. 🥹 I want that MPE editing complete, MIDI automation curves, and most importantly, retrospective recording history.

Long time no see, mate. Hope you're well.

And yes, Atom 3 would be awesome!

Korg Gadget 4

better piano roll (something like the one on GR2)

import midi into parts

copy/paste pads (bilbao, london, recife)

a new "load sample" window for vancouver, bilbao, abu dhabi and sidney, with an interface like Files app, but with preview (like in Sample Crate)

Am I dreaming?

Probably 😄 But then, most of us had been sure it would never get new features, before v3 dropped.

I was going to put Gadget 4 in here myself, but I wasn’t sure if it really belongs, in the spirit of the thread. It’s still such a current app. Development seems to keep coming, like a stalactite growing, only slower.

But if we’re on the subject…

+1 for copy/paste pads.
- A utility sample editor (just a basic Reason or Caustic-style one). Or even just a fix for clicking at start/end of non-zero-crossed audio clips (fade in/out or… something!)
- Audio routing/bouncing from midi tracks to the audio processing tracks
- An effect device! Obvs it should be a Kaoss pad! WTF are you doing Korg?! 😄 you already did half the job with Memphis’ audio routing.
- An ES-1 Electribe-style Sampler! Imagine the fun! Or an original design, if the devs can lock the marketing execs outside. Just something that can mangle more than a short sample.

Any of this would be transformative for sampling in Gadget.

Also: LFOs! Yeah, you can use Taipei in a roundabout way. One could also toast bread with a candle, if needs-be. A direct, tap-the-parameter implementation would be lovely!

I’ll get my coat.

+1 for all. And a simple way to collect all the external samples used in a track. If accidentally I rename or move the folder where a sample is located, Korg samplers show an empty slot without any warnings or a message like “sample xxxx not found”.

Oscilab

I’d forgotten about oscillab - what a gem that was…

Agatha_aga · August 4

Sector
Shoom
Xynthesizer

Such fun and well coded apps

chaocrator · August 4

Pure Acid 2 with added SH-101 emulation

And hopefully integrated with GR-II. That would be the bee's knees.

purpan2 · August 4

Reason Compact 2 would be good, maybe adding Thor, and extra tracks. (But it will never happen.)

Guitarism - best guitar app ever made . Sounded like a guitar and pretty much played like one ( within reason... ).

Gone now but lives in my memory!

I still have it on a couple old devices and it was a sweet app, it sounded great but also had midi out to play other instruments.

@jwmmakerofmusic said:
@SevenSystems Xequence 3 with AUv3 capabilities. What a stellar MIDI sequencer. 😎

Yea Xequence 2 is a phenomenal midi editor.

@Edward_Alexander said:
Xynthesizer 2 of course!

+1 !

+4 lol.

Xequence is not available here.

A new Elastic FX would be nice

anickt · August 4

There would be no need for anything else than audio tracks on NS3.

That's another one of those apps where the dev has chosen not to sell in the EU.

Definitely, but GR2 with audio tracks would be an ideal second-place winner for me.

In one word - logistics. Lots of "red tape".

That's been discussed a lot here and elsewhere, see this Reddit thread to get you started, very annoying situation all round:

Long time no see, mate. Hope you're well.

Heya Jimmy! Everything is fine, thanks for asking. 🤗 I'm more on the beach than at home in the studio, haha!

But Atom is toasted, the developer sold his soul to Apple. There is no resurrection after this transaction. 🪦😅

Did Victor Porof go to work for Apple? I know the Samplr dev did, but that's my first time hearing this!

I read an interview with Marcos Alonso (Samplr) recently and he said Marek from Elf Audio (of Koala fame) was there too! Not sure if either are there nowadays.

EDIT: in the interview he didn't completely rule out ever re-developing Samplr, but did give the impression it was not something that interested him at all, he did say he considered it 'finished'.

It’s in the realm of speculation that has never been disputed. 🤭

A pity, that.

My wish is an updated Aurio Pro as it would work so well on M4 iPad if I could just get it to open

stown · 2:44AM

+1 Samplr
Wish it had like a 6 by 6 grid of samples at the bottom, with column launching ala Live.... and AUv3 compatibility and multi-outs!

FastGhost · 5:41PM

Shoom by Yuri Turov.
with more forms of synthesis, as auv3 and sample based osc...:)

I came into this thread to say Shoom and it's already the very first reply.
