    Not music...

    Infographic & Poster creator Pro is only $.99 usually $2.99

    I am a fan of the “hey this isn’t music but it is FREE”, and appreciate those posts. But countless apps are on sale all the time. As such, I would kindly ask that we could please perhaps keep all other non-free-non-music app sales off of this thread? :# o:) <3

    No. Not hating on it, just isn’t anything remarkable.

    If you compose dub, then it will be useful, but it might be less useful if you don’t.

    Noted. Yea, no problem. For the most part I don’t post apps that are not free, and are not music. I can only recall doing that like twice, once with “notability” ( I really like and use that app) and the recent post for “infographic poster creator.” Either way, i see what your saying, I don’t want to bog this thread down with all these Rando app sales either, but at the same time, I see a lot of different types of apps being useful to musicians and creatives, in one way or another. Some of the apps are just fun to be creative with, or generate content you need, while others are great apps that can aid in music creation or the music business side of things.

    If you make music, post it, and you want to generate revenue, you are going to need to create tons of pics, & graphics for all your stuff. You will need videos, notes, documents, etc... all kinds of things to market, promote, & advertise your band/music as a business. It’s also a fine line between sharing a useful app, and sharing something no one in this forum cares about. I try to share things that will either directly or indirectly help iOS musicians at different levels. There’s so many different considerations depending on your approach. Some just do this as a fun hobby, while others are making their entire living from iOS music creation. One person’s must have creative photo app to design their logo or album art, is another person’s wasted thread post. Lol.

    Also once live shows get back on track, there will be even more need for some of this stuff, concert posters, social media promotion, merch tables, heck, even literally creating the merch to sell.

    With all that said, I will keep non music, non free apps, to an absolute minimum. 😁

  • Maybe someone could start a non-music apps on sale thread if they want to maintain one?

  • @Poppadocrock - in the interest of sharing a broad swath of opinion:

    I appreciate having this one spot for checking in on the sales curation for creative outlets. I appreciate the other side of this argument, I just see it differently. Fluff is rarely shared here, so I say keep it up.

    I tend to agree with @Poppadocrock as many of the things I do artistically involve not only creating music but also promoting it. In addition, this thread is more than a simple list of app sales. It's more like the meeting point for the ones who want to buy apps (usually on sale) and are looking for comments and opinions.

  • I’m with @Poppadocrock on this one.

    I’d much rather see an occasional creative non-music app pop-up here than see a string of 100 comments about the pros and cons of a particular app that happens to be on sale.

    The vast majority of musicians are creative people who don’t limit that creativity exclusively to making noises they like.

  • @Poppadocrock i like your non audio app posts and have grabbed many of them which are super helpful for creating music related album covers etc... I think you do a good job of not over spamming it and always interesting to see what other people use to achieve certain outcomes 🙌

    Very fast assigning samples but a bit of a learning curve with it. It doesn’t do velocity layers. You can switch patterns with midi. You can switch individual drum presets separate from the patterns. I don’t think you can switch entire kits at the same time.

    Would you mind explaining this?.

    You can switch individual drum presets separate from the patterns. I don’t think you can switch entire kits at the same time.

    I’d like to have a pattern going and be able to preview/load different drum kits or drum presets (for example 808 kit, 909 kit, acc drums...) while keeping the pattern.
    In Drambo I have to go kit piece by kit piece and it’s quite slow.
    Thanks again.

  • I’ve also grabbed a few apps that @Poppadocrock has listed which aren’t musical, though I do see the point about not putting them in this thread. To be honest though if they were not here I wouldn’t have seen them, and even without them the thread would still be pretty unwieldy!

    Cheers. Thanks. Yeah, I think theres been a decent balance. I can’t claim any ownership, and I can’t speak for others, but I do my best to keep a line in the sand about what apps to post or not to post when I share. I might cross, said line in the sand, once in a blue moon, so I understand their point, and I respect it. In the end if i think the app could be useful, even to small portion of people in this forum, I’ll probably post it and hope it helps someone....

  • @Poppadocrock Just keep on doin’ whatcha been doin’ already.. I think most of us dabble in other creative outlets other than just music.. appreciate ALL your posts.. 🙏 I definitely would’ve missed out on a few deals or freebies without a heads-up from you.. Many thanks.. 👍

    I highly recommend OB-Xd. Tons of banks. Sounds amazing.no standalone keys but use midi keyboard or as an Au and ur golden

    -The Whole bundle including OB-XD is $5.99 U.S. great deal

    -GR-16 is such a seemingly simple but very deep app. While it does take some time learning the ins and outs of the menus and menu diving, it’s super flexible to get deep with sound design and sampling. The synth setup is super easy to achieve some really good sounds. The p-locks and automation make the sequencer go a lot further than it first seams. Every knob can be automated.

    -I also really appreciate the non music apps that you list here. Usually they are either really great free deals or very useful or artistic kinda apps. I’ve discovered some things I would have never had though to look for.

    AFAIK it’s the same as Drambo in that respect. You have to switch out each pad/sample individually. Switching samples is super quick. Tap Wave > Sample > Open / AudioShare.

  • @Poppadocrock Personally I'm very happy with the non music apps added ! I pick up most of the free ones. It's a good balance, no need for a different thread for me. This is perfectly curated, thanks for the effort!

    If the whole disco DSP bundle is $5.99 I’d say that’s well worth, opl has some great sounds too, no OBXD, but good nonetheless and it’s a little different. Schroeder reverb is pretty decent and The oscilloscope app can be useful.

  • I've grabbed most of the non-music-related app sales that @Poppadocrock mentioned.. and for me, some of them are really useful since I'm an audiovisual artist so I always serve myself with visual resources as well..

    The Groove Rider sale is tempting, but I'm not sure I need it. I'm not really into the synth aspects of the app. I mainly want to use it as a sample mangler in a way similar to an Octatrack. Slice samples to the pads, and reorder and randomize them by start points to get ever evolving samples; P-Locks, Trig Conditions, etc. I already have Drambo, Jamm Pro, and Sector. Would Groove Rider offer something that these apps don't already do to achieve these types of results?

    I bought it, and spent some time with it last night. As kids would put it, this thing slaps, it’s the GOAT, etc. etc. I should’ve got it a long time ago.

    The slicing feature is not as quick as it is with Koala; I haven’t tried the time-stretch functions to see how it compares. It also doesn’t have a direct audio input, so for recording on the fly I had fun pairing it with Koala and especially L7 as AU, which is a pretty good setup. Once recorded, those can be imported into GR. I have to see if you can randomize the sample’s start points, perhaps not, but you can record automations for all parameters.

    I don’t have Jamm Pro or Sector (will have to check them out), but the all-in-one-screen interface approach is just what I was looking for, especially if I can map it to the minilab, which has almost 1-1 correspondence with knobs and pads. It’s completely performance oriented, which is... totally my jam.

    The trig conditions and p-locks are definitely something where it compares well to drambo; they’re very quick to set and very versatile.

    @ashh it’s also very favorably compared to the digitakt bc of p-locks and trig conditions (does the electribe have those)? I don’t think the groovebox concept is proprietary of Korg anyway, but I’m happy to learn that, like a digitakt, I don’t need an electribe anymore!

    That's not what I meant. I own an Electribe 2 but I bought the GR-16 app before I bought the Electribe 2. When I sat down with the Electribe 2 and stared at it, I saw this -

    And here's the GR-16 for comparison -

    Now, you'll have to shuffle some things about, like the XY pad but, really, there's a huge amount of similarity, wouldn't you say?

    I’m not really sure it’s what you’re after. You can load your own samples in it for sure but I think there’s more suitable apps for your use case like beathawk.

    I could never get Kosmonaut working well as a send fx. Tape Machine seems to me more like a “playable” instrument, less detail about what goes on with the delay, more of a broadstroke concept, with head spacing and so on. I love the feedback on it. Overall I find it very inspiring and full of character.
