Maybe koala
Koala +1
Koala is great. Hold a pad to sample to it, and thatās it. The next time you tap it, it plays back.
It can receive midi clock, everything can be midi mapped. It looks like a toy, but for me, itās the best sampler on any platform.
Iāll definitely look at Koala then.
Any others?
I think you can use some other app that would receive MIDI clock and transmit Ableton Link, and set up Logic to receive Ableton Link.
Apple seems to be religiously opposed to the idea of MIDI clock sync. Desktop Logic has the same issue (or at least had when I was using it, and it didnāt support Ableton Link back then).
What about loopy pro?
Koala instantly came to mind here too
Loopy Pro is probably the closest in terms of features. Thatās what I use along my Blackbox.
You really gotta get both because, you gotta.
FYI: Patterning 2 : Drum Machine looks to be on sale right now, $14.99.
Animoog Z is 50% off this weekend.
And be sure to download my massive library of legacy Animoog presets which are practically legendary at this pointā¦
Thanks for the heads up! Animoog Z is an amazing synth, and Iāve been waiting for it to go on sale for some times now. And will definitey check our your sounds!
I am a big fan of Igor Vasilevās weird and wonderful apps, and noticed yesterday, that he has just released a new one, delving into no-input-mixer feedback systems. Instant buy and loads of fun! Anyone else been playing with this?
Was about to post about that app myself since Iāve always been fooling around with feedback loops. I have the Jomox T-Resonator and never used it for anything else but feedback/self oscillation and itās a lot of fun when combined with some effects. Igorās apps are a fun playground for sound design but the UI is sometimes a bit⦠strange.
Not all his UI areā¦strange. SpaceFields is pretty straight forward. You can put absolute garbage in and get magic out the other end.
I just stick it on a bus regardless, and let it feedback itself to oblivion. Sometimes it stays in the mix, sometimes not, but itās always there for texture in case.
That being said, his difficult UIs are fun, cause I have literally no fāinā clue what Iām doing or whatās happening on the back end. And sometimes thatās a good thing.
Funny enough SpaceFields is the one, I havenāt got my head around yet! The other ones (save for BeatCutter) sort of make sense in their own way now.
And I definitely agree - half the fun is figuring the UI out and/or being surprised by the results.
I donāt think about it in SpaceFields. Just twist some knobs, let it do its thing.
Edit: I really have no clue what Iām doing in SoundScaper
Sound Scaper is the one I was actually referring to when I said strange. When you donāt use it regularly itās always like youāre opening it up for the very first time. But every time I open it and listen to the last saved state I always think āthat sounds really interestingā.
Ha ha, me too! But I think BeatCutter really takes the price for abstruseness - I almost more consider it an interactive artwork.
I put some sounds in there, sometimes nothing comes out no matter how I set things, sometimes magic happens, and it gives me stuff, I coudnāt get otherwise.
I only see it at $14.99 whereas itās been $9.99 in the pastā¦unless Iām missing something?
