iPad Music Apps?

Any Sugarbytes Drumcomputer users around that can tell me how to turn that super fucking annoying auto fill that’s on by default?!

I don’t touch the app for months the load it up to put some beats down while I compose then remember about that annoying as all hell autofill with no obvious way to turn it off.

Edit: Unintuitively, set it to ‘Remix’ instead of either of the ‘Auto’ settings.

You chose……wisely.

Remix it’s manual chaos w/ the little bar under it as opposed to auto-chaos.

Honestly I recommend:

Love me some clap synthesis, it’s my favourite :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

AFAIK Baby Audio BA-1 should be available for iOS soon.
can’t wait, since there’s still no proper SH-101 emulation on iOS.
of course CS01/BA-1 is somewhat different – but certainly can do gritty and bubbly sounds well.

Has anybody tried Drambo on ipad mini? How’s the screen space?

Drambo works quite well even on the iPhone Max, I didn’t try it on anything smaller though.

Drambo somehow works even on iPhone SE, this is how i occasionally write riffs in peak hour subway

Outperforms Digitone?

I find the Moog synths a bit bloated. Sound good, but maybe too invested in the UI that makes the apps run hot and struggle with multiple instances.

Feel like they compare poorly to something like Mood, which provides a minimum UI/visual experience but has great sound and presets and easily run more instances than a Moog app.

I haven’t used a Digitone, have never felt its sound is quite my style. Nambu’s interface takes a little learning but it’s very powerful.

I couldn’t do a complete feature by feature, but it’s got 6 ops with similar ratio controls, filter, a similar array of fm waveforms to start with (plus some shaping capabilities), and similar modulation capabilities, 2 key and velocity maps… Plus virtual analog, noise source, resonator, “texture” ops (set transient/foley samples).

I’d be curious what others think, but from a pure sound design perspective I’m not aware of anything the Digitone can do that Nambu doesn’t, and it’s one of the more intuitive fm interfaces out there.

I like the Moog apps a lot but agree that Mood is absolutely superb and massively underrated

Speaking of Moog apps - Model D and Model 15 9.99 each instead of 29.99 atm

Buttersynth is out, seems quite a cool “do it all” synth and seems to sound nice. Reminds me a bit of SynthMaster in the UI

The visual design seems to me to be particularly influenced by DS Thorn. Not a count against it as Thorn has a very tasteful aesthetic, but it was the first thing that came to mind.

Ah yeah that’s a good shout! And thanks for reminding me of Thorn, great synth!

there’s no way to extend a loop in the Audioshare app is there, like after you’ve edited a perfect loop no way to just select it and paste it to itself several times or any other methodright?

not directly in audio share. I use Neon. You can just copy the file to the clipboard in audio share , and paste, paste, paste to your hearts content, select all, and then copy paste back into audioshare. don’t need to save the file in Neon before the copy paste, so no duplicates running around your iPad. all with audio share in slideover.

thanks figured as much, always wondered why Jonatan hadn’t implemented something like that

That’s a CS01 not a 101, also doesn’t sound like a CS01 to me, prob still pick it up cos it’s pretty cool sounding

didn’t know neon was by 4pockets, had to scoop that up thanks

btw do you know if the slicing /editing in the app is non-destructive or destructive?
