+1 in KP3 FX beeing sub par
+1 to Turnado on iPad
now there’s also ElasticFX wich is universal (iPad and iPhone) - just yesterday I was doing a test with my set (A4 into OT’s AB input) sending the OT’s output to Turnado… lot’s of fun, although I need a lot of practice so it doesn’t get out of hands.
controlling the Dictator with the crossfader seems like a fun idea! although I’m not sure if it would work for me - since I also use it for the crossfader trick (I don’t want that transition to be always effected)
I’m considering a few options:
A- using Turnado before the output:
pros: great FX (way better/more flexible than KP or OT’s); maybe I can even save up that 8th master track and do both compression and LP/HP filtering directly on iPad/iPhone
cons: upon a few short tests, I haven’t been able to get FX tails on delays and reverbs when I turn them off, also I couldn’t figure out the settings to create a nice-sounding analog delay sound (typical dj-mixer swirls with nice filter resonance)
B-using ElasticFX before the output:
pros: fx sound super really nice too, better delay for my needs, runs on iPhone
cons: no SEND mode (like on KP, in case I want to use it as a send instead of going into it straight from the OT’s output - Turnado has this, although a bit hidden…); no HPF afaik, less parameters/flexibility although pretty great too.
I’m a bit small-set obsessive, so I wanted to avoid adding anything else to my A4+OT set. I like that it is quite simple/focused (I wish I could do OT only, but I’m not there yet ) but then again… the effects added a lot of movement and dynamics to it, and it’s a lot of fun.
then again, if I do this… I was considering bringing back my NanoKontrol + usb-midi Host, so I can control track volumes (faders) and FX (knobs) a bit easier… I could as well just control them with one of OT’s MIDI tracks, but sometimes when performing live it’s not easy to go back in between tracks, specially when trying to control many things in a short time (think breaks)
