I’ve just had another play with it, and each time I get more into it.

Like echoopera, I probably won’t bother with songs, and just jam patterns and record them live.

What is a song but recorded patterns?

I’ll jam patterns and then build a song as I go. On the pattern page there is an Add To Pattern button. So I jam some patterns, like what I get, then just add them to the current song. Then you can jump to the song, rearrange if necessary and transpose. Kind of the best of both worlds. Works for me anyway. I don’t avoid either method.

I got a reply about the missing sine wave...

So much for that. But it’s not too big of a deal. Shaping the triangle gets it close enough, even though it’s not perfect. Definitely not a show stopper.

So I jumped in earlier than Monzo, and I was impressed by the tweaking, but I haven't had the stamina to sort out the patterns/song/program architecture. I'm not even sure how to delete these demo songs and start anew. Every time I start it up, I'm in some nightmare tourist rave in 2004. Would LOVE to see a step-by-step in terms of structure.

Haven’t tried it yet, but I think the easiest way is to create a new pattern, and then select a demo pattern and save over it. Not sure if you can delete songs though. I’m keeping the demo patterns for now, as I want to save some of the synth patches from them.

Like echoopera, I probably won’t bother with songs, and just jam patterns and record them live.

All you need to do to delete the demo songs is go into song mode, load Init Song, then save it to the first seven songs. It’ll save as an Init Song. Same thing for patterns.

Yeah that’s quicker, I’ll do that once I’ve grabbed the sounds from them.

Just a heads up that the init patterns have a note the first step by default, I found that annoying and removed it before copying it to all th other patterns.

Yeah, they have a C3 on step one synth 1 and a 4/4 kick on Drum 1
Need to turn these off and save over all the empty (and Filled) patterns if you want to avoid just making 4 to the floor dance tracks whenever you open the app

Just had a weird issue - it kept applying pitch bend in the movement section. When I tried switching it to filter cutoff, it just ignored this, and would only do pitch bend. Also won't record filter cutoff or any other movements in the main screen.

Rebooting...

Ok, after reboot, that pattern is still shagged. It was a simple arp, created from an init patch, but it doesn't record any movement in the main screen, and 'pitch bend' is the only option that works in the 'movement' section.

Just created a new pattern - same process, init patch, simple arp - and everything works fine - recoreds movements, 'pitch bend' not stuck on in the movement section. Back to previous pattern, still shagged.

NOW. I have a problem with this, as it's an example of unpredictable flakiness. Which makes me nervous about spending time creating patterns. Hopefully, this won't happen again...

I’m not experiencing this problem at all. Are you sure you have the steps deactivated in the motion section for pitch and have them activated for other parameters you want to automate?

Yep.

I have to switch it to off, as pitch change is stuck - none of the other options work. Plus automation recording isn’t working on the main screen.

I’ve just created another four new patterns and none of them have these issues. When I go back to that one, it’s borked.

Created a few more patterns without any issues, maybe it’s just a blip with that one.

One thing I will say for this app, it’s pretty good on battery considering, and not causing any heating up at all.

Yeah it’s still weird that it happened. Does it happen when you load up another song?

I’m really happy with the low battery consumption and no heat issues as well. I’m on day 6 and still very pleased with this app.

I’m not using song mode, just mucking about with individual patterns. But yeah, when I open that pattern it’s still messed up. I’ve checked all the settings and compared them to the others, and can’t see why it’s gone astray.

The thing with this app is, unlike an individual synth or sampler, you end up making proper tunes when you use it. So each time I open it I either make a new pattern, or tweak an existing one, so after a few days I’ve already got the bare bones of a couple of new tracks.

Productivity wise it’s going to be a very useful tool.

Take an “Init Pattern” and save it in the place of the troubled pattern. I’m guessing that should solve the problem.

That’s the thing that tempts me on this. Nice to just focus on one thing and get on with it. But just haven’t been impressed by the sound aesthetics. Possibly down to the fx. Always hated the fx on my microsampler... if it had separate outs I’d prob jump in. But then you lose the automation workflow

Think I’m gonna try and make a new bm3 16 track project template this week and force myself to just use ONLY that setup for a few weeks and see if I can find a template that doesn’t make me wanna snap my iPad down to bugs/crashes/oddities....

There’s something about this app, that makes me want to just dive in and use it. Though the test will be if I’m still using it in a few weeks time.

Before I bought it I had a play with Gadget - too hot, battery chewer, slower to build tracks. BM3 - forgot where everything is, gave up after half an hour. GR16 - too many menus. Plus a bunch of other ‘beat makers’ and stuff I’ve got lurking on the iPad.

This one - after an hour I was making tunes, and each time I use it I discover another cool thing.

The synth sounds are no worse than some of the Gadgets, though obviously not as good as some standalones.

But. I’m making tunes with it. If this doesn’t turn out to be a five minute wonder, I’ll be making LOTS of tunes with it. The sounds are good enough as a base for further embellishments via the desktop - so I’ll decorate them with Komplete goodness, and probably some real guitar and bass.

So I’m thinking it’ll earn its keep - unlike 90% if other apps I’ve bought.

The eye opener for me is making and saving patterns. I never do this. I’m a noodler, a live jammer. So this is forcing me to be more structured about what I do - which is about time.

Yeah the thing that attracts me to this is it seems like closest thing on ios to an elektron kind of box for workflow. I’m similar to you, electronic instruments + guitars etc, so that kind of ‘quick instrument’ workflow really appeals for patterns and experimenting. Looks like a cool app I just get the feeling it’d turn out to be ‘just another sketchpad’ for me and I’d end up wanting to re-sequence everything elsewhere, so overall I’d lose the time gained to begin with by not using a less fluid app No right or wrong opinion/workflow on this stuff tho....all just people’s different habits and tastes

I get what you’re saying - the challenge for me is to get it to sound good enough to stand it’s own ground in a track. I haven’t exported any audio yet though, so maybe it does already.

I’ve got Komplete, Reason, and the Maschine controller. So yeah - I can create this stuff already using better synths and samples. But I can’t do it while I’m sitting in the armchair in front of the telly. Or sneak in a quick ten minutes to tweak a pattern. Productivity and fun are key here.

Echoopera has shown what it’s capable of - if I can come up with anything as good as that I’ll be happy.

I’m not experiencing this problem at all. Are you sure you have the steps deactivated in the motion section for pitch and have them activated for other parameters you want to automate?

Yep.

I have to switch it to off, as pitch change is stuck - none of the other options work. Plus automation recording isn’t working on the main screen.

I’ve just created another four new patterns and none of them have these issues. When I go back to that one, it’s borked.

The only thing I can suggest at this point is to delete the app and reinstall it.

I’ll hang on, unless it does it again. At the moment it’s just one rogue pattern.

Report it to Korg ? You may have stumbled upon a strange combination or done things in a particular order that has caused this. In my experience with them, if it is a genuine bug, and they can find it, they will fix it.

Just had a weird issue - it kept applying pitch bend in the movement section. When I tried switching it to filter cutoff, it just ignored this, and would only do pitch bend. Also won't record filter cutoff or any other movements in the main screen.

Rebooting...

Ok, after reboot, that pattern is still shagged. It was a simple arp, created from an init patch, but it doesn't record any movement in the main screen, and 'pitch bend' is the only option that works in the 'movement' section.

I don’t think that’s the case though, as I repeated the same process straight after on a new pattern, and it was fine:

Open blank init pattern: Add notes for synth 1, adjust sound and enable arp, and then repeat with a second synth. Save pattern over init slot.

I’ve had glitches in Gadget before, which has put me off spending lots of time writing tunes with it. I’m guessing that this is just a blip.

Later today I’ll try making a new pattern and saving over the dodgy one, and see if that’s ok or related to a particular pattern slot.

I've been messing with this a lot, and tried lots of different things including lots of recorded automation and modulating from external sources...
I've had 1 crash (which may just as likely have been AUM/Launchpad/blocswave/Link) and the crackling which seems to be fixed for me.
I have used the arp, but not used it a lot...I'll try some more arp stuff and see if I get any funnies with it.

Could just be one of those weird one-off things that only seem to happen to me. If it does it again I’ll be concerned, but seems stable since that one.

The thing with this app is, unlike an individual synth or sampler, you end up making proper tunes when you use it. So each time I open it I either make a new pattern, or tweak an existing one, so after a few days I’ve already got the bare bones of a couple of new tracks.

Productivity wise it’s going to be a very useful tool.

Excellent point. I think this is the special sauce with any app if you can find it/feel it. I have been thinking "...but, yeah, I can do this in Auria or FL or....", but I don't/won't....the constraints PLUS the saving of patterns and every time I come back the improving/continuing with the work etc etc....

Keep coming back to this thread. The case to get Electribe Wave is building
Guess until the end of this month to get the intro price

Do you have a birthday coming up? One on the past you were you deserved more for? Have you been good? Is there any change down the back of the wife's sock drawer?

Birthday is just before Christmas
We all feel this life owes us more
Generally been good but not necessarily my best self at times
Sadly not married ...still holding out for that extra special woman
Do I qualify? 😀

Yep. I can do this in x, y and z, but I won’t, or at least as not as often as with the KEW. And it won’t be as much fun.

Sound-wise I listened back to the stuff I did last night through speakers and was quite taken aback - it sounded like a proper thing.

It’s a tricky app to recommend...it’s one for people who like building structured tracks in one thing. Which isn’t me at all, but the workflow and UI really work well, so it’s changed the way I work - at least while I’m using it. I’ll still jam in AUM and dabble with manglers, but this one will provide proper structures to work with.

I’d say go for it, I’m loving it, but it’s not for everyone.

Have until the 30th to decide...does Korg have a Christmas sale maybe 50% off??
Still a good deal now...decisions decisions. When one has most of the Korg apps the decision is kind of already made🎹😎
