Thanks!

No, I don’t use a controller with it at all, but I have a small arsenal of them I could try it with. Could be fun to try them all and see how they get on.

Speaking of controllers:

This just came out which allows you to change your configuration settings on Roli Blocks from your iOS device (rather than having to plug them into your computer).

Is anyone using a Roli Block with iOS? I have a Lightpad Block M and found it really impressive when I first got it but I haven’t actually incorporated it into my setup at all - I just load up Noise and play around for a bit when the mood takes me (rarely, if I’m completely honest).

I’d be really interested to know if (and how) anyone is using them in a more productive fashion.

+100 to this. I’d really like to use this both with iOS and Norns, keep us posted on your progress and thank you.

This seems to have been out since January, unless I’m mistaken, but I only discovered it today. Looks impressive but I’m sure there are many others amongst you who would be more qualified to assess it than I am.

I’m a big fan of generative sequencers.

Just discovered Polyphase. It’s not new, but it’s a lot of fun!

It lacks an octave control, so while looking for a way to deal with that I discovered these tools. The transposer is free.

just wanted to thank everyone who has posted here + in related threads and/or created the ios apps/ports. i have been downloading all the free/cheap stuff that i find while lurking without actually being able to summon the energy to try any of it. i didn’t even realize it at the time, but since the ipad apps that work on my phone get downloaded automatically, between physicles, spectrum, and aum, i can start writing a song literally by mistake.

i am usually feeling pretty down on technology, but this gave me that “wow we live in the future” feeling that i used to get from tech. good looking out!

For anyone following the YouTube videos, number 4 is now live (although you’ll know that already if you have joined the Beat Cult :wink:).

In previous videos I’ve taken the beat through sampling, creation & effects, and this one looks at performance/final stages, which more or less wraps things up for this particular beat.

The next videos will look at different approaches incorporating more external elements, plus a whole host of other things (both within Koala and outside it). I haven’t decided if the next one will start to look at ambient productions - I’ll look to record it on Friday, probably - but, even if it transpires that something else happens first, ambient Koala videos won’t be far away.

Thank you for anyone watching - I hope these videos are of some benefit.

I love the Spring Reverb that sits within iVCS3 but I’m admittedly quite obsessed with spring reverb (I’m sure others are great too)

I’m not sure that I should post this in here since my latest KOALA video doesn’t actually feature KOALA at all…

Instead it featurea a few guitar pedals, the Koma Elektronik Field Kit FX and a dictaphone though.

To explain: one of my subscribers asked me a question about where I get the sounds I use within KOALA so I made a video to demonstrate it. If you use any kind of sampling at all, hopefully you might get something interesting out of it.

Eventide has joined the AUv3 party now too. The “ribbon/hotswitch” feature is a nice touch. From what I can tell so far, all of the parameters are smoothed and sound nice to modulate in real time.

The desktop Harmonizer plugins are amongst my favourites… very dangerous business!

Wow, these look great. I wonder if Valhalla is heading this way?

My ipad is starting to look like a better and better option to include in the mixing mastering process… The effects like eventide and fabfilter and other are way cheaper on the iPad. With AUM you have a pretty decent workflow too, to mix tracks. Love it!

Good point. I think Valhalla did an Audio Damage EOS 2 algorithm.

I’ll wait on these and see where things go. But I was under the impression the Harmonizer is still the best in show? Might go for it…

For anyone interested: it looks like the Korg apps have had a price cut. I got notifications that Mono/Poly, iMS-20, Odyssei etc. were down at £15 at the moment.
