Hey, much obliged for this massive list!

Yamaha FM essentials huh? A lot of items to check out on this list for sure.

EDIT: ack, FM essentials turned out to be dongleware… dammit. o well

there’s a lot more from when i was looking last, so i have to go through some. especially looking for weird ones. no way am that i am going to use a compressor or reverb or eq other than psp or fabfilter. apart from that i can mix at 2048.

Dont forget Mood if you are in the mood for awesome.

Based on the previous megalist, I decided to go with the zMors eq AU for equalization duties, as I already had zMors modular and the coder seems legit based on that one.

Initial impressions are good, just what I was looking for really, something simple to cut freqs with that has a minimal CPU footprint… But how do I “bypass” a plugin in AUM? Seems I can only delete it… Am I missing something? Plugin bypass is a pretty big deal and should be a must in any digital audio system?

Just slide it to the left

And when the eject icon is displayed, the plugin is bypassed? Great, thanks!

Yes

Love this guy. Best ios youtube channel.

Damn, now I just fell into the rabbit hole of vertex shaders…

Interesting new midi sequencer called QuantumSequencer

I’m not a fan of the design choices (Serif font mixed with Sans-Serif :rolling_eyes:), but it looks like it has some interesting functions.

Apparently this was released just now? Sort of a cool lil impulse buy for the price of one pint… FM drum etc synthesis and some “AI” type of procedural generative thingamajigs

Axon 2 by Audio Damage, Inc.

Might be fun to use multiple instances of this one, as it is AU.
format as well…

Now playing “Marimba Accumulat” preset while the “AI” is modulating away… nice coffee break muzak :content:

very cool. Tried it yesterday shortly

can anyone vouch for anything that sends audio over usb for ipad? I had musicIO ages ago which was great for midi but I never got the audio side working, they said it was coming in a future update but I never got response after than so I got a refund. I don’t really wanna waste money on it again to find out it never happened. basically trying to sample VSTs into beatmaker 3 to make instruments for use on the go, I can do the whole audioshare thing and import the sounds but id just like to be able to sample straight into it if possible, preferably without a separate interface for ipad

Seems everyone gave up updating these kinds of apps once Apple adding USB streaming iPad>OSX, used both musicIO and Studiomux before but they both had big issues with audio in my experience. Now I just use mixer as IOS audio interface and route it the old fashioned way.

hmm, I wasnt aware apple had added usb streaming to OSX, im using a macbook, ive managed to get ipad to show up as an input on logic but I cant seem to set it as an output. hmm. no bother, ill just do this audioshare importing. its not too much hassle, i’d just rather skip the whole bouncing down and uploading to drop box then to a second app and then importing. weird that the streaming seems to be one way

Not sure if it’s already be mentioned, but this is my absolute favourite App: Modular
Its free! You can build your own modular synthesizer. I already created countless patches. You can hook up a Midi Controller and use cc values to interact with the software. It’s really fun but of course it is limited (don’t expect a “Reaktor” :slight_smile: )
Does anybody know a similar App for the iPad, where I can create my own Modular synth? I only know Thor but it’s not what I`m searching for.

And of course Waldorfs “Nave” is awesome too.
