What affect does time signature have when you change it in midibus. I'm having trouble wrapping my head around this. Does it change the BPM?
Hi @YuriT, thanks for sticking around.
I've been playing extensively with xynthesizer. Most recently I had it tempo slaved to seekbeats and controlling isem with internal engine off. It worked like a dream. No hiccups whatsoever. It would start and stop whenever I started or stopped seekbeats. Since you're here I'd have a suggestion which would vastly improve its live functionality. Would it be very hard to add 2 or 3 scenes that could be muted or switched between for quick switching and recalling patterns? I know it is a move towards sequencing but this way Xynthesizer could become a bit of a simple arp/sequencer. I'm sure people would pay for IAP if it was available. Think about it.
Yes it is already a really nice app and I can only imagine where it could be taken to with a bit of TLC! It is one of the best value apps I have seen in some time now.
@supadom, great!
I get the basic idea, but I'm not sure I fully understand your suggestion. Could you please elaborate?
@YuriT said:
Ok, there would be say, 4 locations (buttons) where 4 patterns are stored. So one would draw a pattern and then save it in one of the locations. Then clear, draw another pattern and save to the second location and so on. Patterns would be easily recalled by pressing one of four buttons (at the moment there is a bit of space on top left or top right side for a vertical string of buttons. I.e. A long press or a swipe would save the current pattern). You could have an option of patterns changing instantly or when the bar ends just like you have in scales section. Not sure if I explained myself well. Let me know if anything's not too clear.
P.s.1 just discovered that each colour can trigger a different ext instrument, supernice!
P.s. 2 did you notice that audiobus buttons once hidden are impossible to recall? At least that's what is happening here.
Cheers
Yes , I noticed the Audiobus buttons missing as well. I had to bring up all my apps to choose another.
@supadom, thank you, it's clear now. I also had a similar idea. It's likely to be implemented sooner or later.
BTW, have you watched the MIDI demo?
It shows Xynthesizr controlling 3 other instruments and doing a kind of arpeggiator thing.
I have no problems recalling the audiobus panel. Although it's better to swipe at the bottom of the screen (above the bottom bar) to not mess up the grid.
@supadom, @Tritonman2 So does it now show up at all? Is the connection to Audiobus still present?
I will have to get back with you on that , I just took a break from splitting firewood and watched this neat video on midi implementation while I had a few sips of my coffee. I can't wait to try a similar midi set up however. How does it handle the drums? Any videos of it just running them perhaps? I had not even considered it yet. This app is nice and deep I can see.
To think I almost did not bother reloading it onto my ipad which would have been a crime! The audiobus forum strikes again.
@Tritonman2, in this video Xynthesizr simply outputs clock to MoDrum, but sure it can trigger drums, not as straightforward though because of scales and stuff. No videos of this yet. Have you heard a short sound recording that @mgmg4871 posted on the first page of this discussion?
it looks like Xynthesizr has problems with iOS 7. Both my iPad4 and iPad2 running iOS 7 have graphical issues or don't play the app at all (iPad2). On iPad2 running iOS 6 it's fine.
@Phil999, do you mean it doesn't launch at all (on your iPad 2)?
Have you tried doing a reset (holding the home and sleep buttons)?
I run it on iOS 7 as well (as most users do, I guess).
I run iOS 7 and it works great, in fact I don't notice any problems with this now old update. The only time I have issues with this or other apps is when my device is almost full and especially if i over do background running apps and/or too much in Audiobus
Never a hiccup on my 4s phone. Had to reinstall and reboot on my iPad 3 (iOS 7) before it would respond to my touch. I don't remember when I last opened it (pre update for sure) but I must have at some point because it launched at 2x. Perhaps you can do that programmatically but I was wondering if that might be the thread between the people who have had iPad issues and those that haven't (previous install vs new install, or possibly previous install plus 2x mode on first open?).
@YuriT said:
it launches, but doesn't respond to touch, like syrupcore mentioned. Also did a reset (which is something I always do before reporting problems). A Tascam iU2 interface is attached (which runs on 44.1kHz only). What sampling frequency does Xynthesizr use?
Good to hear it's running on 7.04. Probably deleting and reinstalling can help. Will try again another time.
@Phil999, thank you for the info.
Xynthesizr uses 44.1kHz too. Does anything change if you disconnect the iU2?
@syrupcore, interesting point.
huge difference after disconnecting the iU2. Xynthesizr is working as it should. After killing the app and reconnecting the interface, Xynthesizr doesn't respond to touch again. Now I think we also have an explanation why Xynthesizr doesn't respond well to touch on my iPad4/iOS7. This iPad is permanently attached to an Apogee Duet 2.
So it's the interface that is responsible for these problems, not the OS or the iPad version! I admit I would have never thought about this. It's rather unique. I don't know of any other app that would make problems with both interfaces (although the iU2 is a difficult one because it cannot change the sampling rate and other unsolved problems by Tascam).
Yes, I think my a griffin studio connect caused the same problems. It seems find in stand alone.
thanks for the report, I think we've nailed it now.
Xynthesizr appears to work fine with internal audio, external audio (external audio interfaces) makes it freeze, not responsible to touch, etc.
Fwiw, I didn't have an audio interface plugged in during my freezing. I did have a cck -> midi controller keyboard plugged in though.
Perhaps any interface presents aproblem?
interesting. Not only audio interfaces, it seems any interface could disturb Xynthesizr.
Well it's actually not my business, I'm not a developer, but from what I know it's something unique in the iOS world. Thank you syrup for reporting.
I have a Tascam iXZ plugged into my iPhone.... Into that is a theremin... AB is running with Bias, Xynthesizr, and AUFX..... no freezing or any issues. well slight volume change. Doesn't change when any keyboards or mics are plugged in either. later I will try Xynth with the iRig Mix
@Phil999, @Tritonman2, @syrupcore, @ShawnLeonhardt, thank you so much for these reports! My bad, apparently. I've got an idea to try, but unfortunately I don't have an audio interface at hand. I wanted to ask if you would like to kindly help me in doing a little testing? We can use TestFlight for this.
I'm pretty sure it's not any interface that causes problems. Some beta-testers have used Xynthesizr with external MIDI devices without any issues.
Nevertheless, it's a major issue to me, I'm so sorry for this, and I really need your help.
So if you don't mind doing some testing for this issue, please use this link to join the list: http://tflig.ht/1aBUBFB
@yurit sent you my test flight details.
@ShawnLeonhardt,
Tascam iXZ and iRig Mix are not USB interfaces, so it isn't surprising that Xynthesizr works fine with them.
@syrupcore, have you received the notification emails from TestFlight?
@yurit yes but haven't had a chance to install yet.
