Glorious news! Also I discovered that Spacecraft works fine on my old iPad 3rd Gen so I now have a fully dedicated granular device permanently connected to Ableton via MIDI (and an Alesis ioDock)

The other night I did this:

It sounds good to me on youtube, but not so good on soundcloud and I don’t know why.

I just sent the audio from the iPad straight thru my pedals and into ableton. In ableton sounds ok, youtube sounds ok but on soundcloud it’s all muffled…do you know why? (I’m not using AUM)

Which are the best apps you like to play with a MIDI keyboard on the iPad?

Oh yes! The Samplr iOS app has been updated!

what do oyu use to video record you jams? are there any cheap solutions for iphone video recording (to get a decent audio)?

Fantastic news. The original royalty coming back to reclaim their thrones.

Maybe I missed this before but using in AUM, if the sample rates are mismatched, samples in Samplr are useless. Is there anyway around that?

I use my iPhone on a tripod for overhead shots of the iPad + hardware. Or just use the built in screen recorder (though I think people really like to see fingers tapping things). Since I use AUM for the audio, I record in that. Then I put it together on my Mac because I’m faster in Premier than any video editor for iOS.

Yes, that’s what those “1VPO Converter” modules are doing.

@WeatherSystem I jumped over here from your Youtube post. Thank you so much for sharing the Audulus patch.

Quick question since I’ve not been paying much attention to iOS apps in the last years: is there something that I could use as a quick solution to play back long field recording samples (in an asynchronous way) and maybe have some basic control over speed (and hence pitch) and maybe EQ/filter?
I’d basically like to have something like a 4-track tape machine but where the tracks are independent from one another.
I did build myself something like that with pD and a raspberry, but I couldn’t get it work properly, so I’m not looking for other ways to do that.

I like AUM the most for that. The built in file player (and built in filters, etc) is robust and simple to use. The bussing implementation is a boon for this kind of use too. No need to add AUv3 to get this going, but having that option usually covers most extra functionality I might want.

Apematrix is also great for that.

Don’t know why… but I’ve always thought AUM was more a plugin host and mixer for other apps. I’ll check it out thanks a lot!
Quick question: there’s a rate control in the built-in file player in AUM. Is that working like an analog speed control? I.e. does the pitch change with the speed?

Yes, pitch changes when speed changes, just like on tape. I love playing with long recordings, filtering and delays in AUM, controlling the lot with a usb midi controller.

Same here! It took me some time to break out of thinking of AUM mostly as the AUv3 era audiobus variant. The multitrack tape machine side of AUM is fantastic.

Sounds like Samplr. it has an 8 track sample playback.

As well as this, AUM in combination with Audioshare allows you to load up audio files onto dedicated mixer channels. You have a lot of flexibilty with the playback conditions of this media.

Never realized you could map rate to cc. So cool!

I have Samplr, and wile I totally love it for its sample-mangling, it didn’t really work for this specific task. Can’t remember why exactly. Maybe it was the lack of MIDI mapping?
