Orsilus is a multitrack Audio recorder and mixer. Up to 64 Audio-channels / Up to 16 Aux channels / Record up to 16 simultaneous audio channels Orsilus comes with the Ableton Link feature, support Audiobus (in & out) and Audio Units. Orsilus can load Up to 32 Audiobus, Audio Units or Orsilus effects per rack (rack = channel Pre insert) In-built effects: Compressor / 3-Band EQ / Distortion / Test-tone / Filter / Metronome / IO Unit / Aux/Send Unit / Waveform View / VU Meter / Test Tone (Tone generator) Orsilus comes with Channel automation record (Volume, Pan, Mute) and a Master channel with Buss Compressor Orsilus is developed by one man only! Orsilus it’s also the Q Beat A Drum Sequencer: select an engine from the 8 available. Load a Sample (or 8 for each of the layers) for each of the 8 available instruments. Set the number of Bars, the steps per instrument track (Polyrhythm), as well as the pitch, the volume and the swing, or use the Drum Pads before to send your pattern (engine) to its dedicated track. Into the Arranger window. You can also program your pattern with another App or external hardware. (MIDI in) This Q Beat is a really, really good idea, and I am really impressed when I think that this App is developed by one man only…. Orsilus it’s also a Visual Mixer… This is more than a good or very good idea… For each track you can choose an icon. All these icon are display in room. Move an icon to the left or right to set the pan. Up or down to set the volume and use the Z axis to change the channel Volume, Reverb Send or LPF. Hold an icon to solo a track. Drag your finger for a multi channel selection. Enable or not the channel colour frequency. It’s just awesome! Simply have a look at this page to listen to your mix without to play it! If I say that this visual Mixer should be the new standard view for a Mixer it’s not really fair for the Orsilus developer… but it should be… It’s awesome! Another awesome thing? Really awesome? The rooms! 3 are available. Simply select the desired studio room for your project. Set the Pre delay, the high pass filter frequency and the Output signal of your room. This also is an amazing idea! Before to conclude: There are so many, awesome things in this App… it should be downloaded by all developers, all the iOS Apps lovers to encourage this man to continue his awesome work! I can not buy this App, because I don’t have a Credit Card… I can only offer a banner on this website as long as needed for him to bring Orsilus to the top…. So, I will do this… Yes, because Orsilus still needs to be developed…. The arranger window, (edit window) can be optimised. At this moment, you can only trim, or split a region. Some little things need to be improved too, like the way to set a Loop, the copy and paste and zoom features,… To conclude: Orsilus is not the best App for composing because of its lacks of MIDI tracks and features in the Arranger View page. But for mixing or recording… if it’s not at this moment, I am sure that it will be in a not so far future…. I am really impressed!…. How only one man can do this ? Chapeau bas in French… Hat down in English…. A Killer developer! A Killer App! A Must Have!
Review by Ed New projectQ BeatArranger ViewTraditional MixerVisual MixerMain menu & SettingsThis App allows we you to create a song very easily and fast. Everyone can use it. Pro musicians and beginners as well. Medly works a little bit like Garageband. I explain... First you create a new Project. Set the Scale and the Tempo. You create a new track. A Midi or an Audio track . You select the instrument you like. Then, you have 2 choices. Or you edit a blank pattern or you choose a pattern from the Library. Each packs from the Medly store comes with Audio loops and MIDI melodies and rhythms. The developer offers me the Master Pack: 150 audio loops, 450 Midi patterns, 30 instruments. (Thanks a lot!) I didn't have the others packs excepted the Starter one, but there are also a Rock, Jazz and Classical instruments Packs in the Medly Store. Audio track and Audio editing: At this moment, you can not import an Audio File into the App, but this feature will be add shortly. You can record audio with the built in microphone of your iDevice. You can trim an Audio File. Midi and Midi Sequencer: A Midi in feature. No output. The sequencer works like most of all the MIDI sequencers. Tap to add a note, again to delete. Tap to add a note then swipe to the rigth to set its length. Tap and hold a note to set the accent (3 level). A snap feature is also available. Track settings & FXs (Audio & Midi): Volume, Pan, Echo, Reverb, Ducker, High / Low, and Pitch. Delay rate 1/4, 1/8 & 1/16. No other Settings for the effects. Automation: All the track parameters can be automated. That's all! And enough! To conclude: For Pro musicians,s first: Are you using Garageband? For myself: never... (the only reason why I would like to reinstall Garageband into my iPad is Alchemy...) Garageband is an hybrid App. Too many features for a beginner and not enough for a Pro musician. Sometimes a friend ask me for a track.... Sometimes my muse is going to visit another Galaxy... Sometimes,... Sometimes it's cool to have an App like this. Very easy to use. A lot of melodies and grooves and a very good Audio sample's quality for all instruments. For beginners: All the things that you need to create a track are in this App. Only 10 minutes to understand how Medly works. Not too many menus, settings,... So, you will never be lost. I like the concept and I don't want to have too many features in the future updates. Perhaps only one or two more with the import Audio one. The ability to record the audio from another App and the ability to import a Midi file. That's all. For me, it's enough. A Killer App, a Must Have have for beginners. An App that Pro musicians must have to remember the day when their muse is travelling to another Galaxy.
Notes:
I had the answer and the solution too. If you launch Medly first and after the host App, no problem the signal will be recorded. Top! There is a bug. Sure, but at the end not really annoying... The developer will fix it. The update will be released at the begining of the next year. So, don't worry, no problem! Here us the video. Tap the icon below to jump to the Medly review. Review by Ed A reverse delay. A reverse delay if you like. A classical delay if you prefer. A classical? Not really, because it comes with a low & high pass filter. (A switch to select the high or low pass filter. A cutoff rotating knob.). This filter is really great and very useful when you want to use the reverse delay. It allows you to make the effect more audible, or to “clean” your track. The processing quality is really really great… I really love this App despite this there are 2 features that I will be really happy to have in a future update. First, it’s a link switch between the L & R channel and secondly and before all, the Ableton Link. I also think that some of you will enjoy the Midi implementation (to be able to automise the parameters). I can understand, but not me.. I never use MIDI for this kind of effects (I mean a reverse effect). I always bounce my track. I also never use a MIDI track when I am mixing a project… To conclude: I love this plugins. I am 100/100 sure that I will use it. A Killer App, a Must Have! (But please, the Ableton Link feature!)
Review by Ed A Reverb like no other. An amazing Reverb created by Amazing Noises. I will not re write here, all the tutorial below, but only highlight some of the amazing features that make this Reverb so different from the others. The first is that you can control all the knobs (parameters) with an LFO, the accelerometer or MIDI. (Audio Units also) Using the LFO is really interesting and can generated a lot of surprises. Great for sound designers. The Snapshot Pad is really great too. The 4 first presets from a bank are automatically add to this expression Pad. Move your finger to morph a preset to another. (Not available in the Audio Units version) The Sampler is really cool too. It allows you to play with you recording. (Tap the waveform to play). Great for special FX. (Not available in the Audio Units version) Also, a Low & High cut filter (Pre), a Low & High shelf (post) and a compressor (post). In summary: This Reverb is one of the most versatile Reverb from the App Store. It belongs to my setup. I love it because you can use it as a conventional Reverb. The sound quality is top and the possibility to control all the parameters with an external hardware makes it great for live performances. I also love to create sound Fx with it. A Killer App! A Must Have!
Review by Ed Last week I received zMors. I thought that it was a modular Synthesizer. And yes it is, but I didn't know that it was much more that this. You can use it as a Audio UNIT / IAA and The udio us mixer. A multitrack recorder and mixer. A midi sequencer... As you like or need. I am so impressed that I wanted to do a little video. In the Video, I am using 3 Audio Units plugins, 1 midi sequencer and 1 midi keyboard module. The midi sequencer send the note to Ruismaker and the midi keyboard control Zeeon synth. I also route the Ruismaker Audio output signal to Reverb, a Audio Units effect.
TwistedWave is a mono & stereo track audio recorder & editor. The best one! (The desktop version is also the best in its category!) Why it’s the best? For a lot of reasons, but one before all. One finger! Yes, with TwistedWave you can do everything with one finger only: zoom an audio file in or out. set a Loop, add Markers to this loop, add a Fade in or out, and this is awesome because most of the things we have to do with a stereo or mono audio editor needs to be very clear-cut. (Fade in & out, Trim,...). Because of this, we need to zoom in and out a lot. The Zoom in feature must to be efficient too.... for that, TwistedWave is awesome. Also, TwistedWave comes with a lot of very useful effects: Silence, Normalise, Gain, Pitch, Speed, Reverse, Dynamics, Reverb, Delay,… this is top, but the awesome is that you can also apply an Audio Unit plugins (effect) to your track. For the sharing features, Twistedwave is also the best and its online server where you can upload a file for Free (30 days) is just top! Check out the video to see how Twistedwave is easy to use. Check out the tutorial to see all the powerful of this App. A Killer App, a Must Have!
Review by Ed bs-16i is an sounds expander. It can play SoundFont and DLS files. You can also import your SoundFont and DLS files from another App, iCloud Drive, Dropbox,... The Stand Alone version is a 16 tracks sounds expander because of this it comes with a Mixer. For the Audio Unit you load as many instance of bs-16i as you need. The other difference is the Midi files player that you will not find in the Audio Unit version. Excepted that, the 2 synth module are the same. 4 sections. 1/ Output: Volume - Pan- Reverb - Chorus - Delay (Send) 2/ Tune: Coarse - Fine tune - Pitch - Portamento - Mono or Stereo 3/ Eg / Filter: Attack - Decay - Release / Cut-off - Q 4/ Vibrato: Rate - Depth - Delay In the App in Purchases, you can unlock the High Resolution engine (enables high-quality and low-noise audio outputs by 100% floating point calculations.) and 128 voices of polyphony (64 for the standard version). To conclude: bs-16i is a Must Have! Yes, because it always useful to have an App like this in our iDevice. On the Web you can find a lot of SoundFont files. A lot of instruments for free... The App is very well done and I like the 2 versions. A Killer App! A Must Have!
Review by Ed This is the tutorial 4 / The Sample page Wahoo! Awesome! One thing that I really really love is the Slices to Pads (Create Pattern) feature! Check out the video demo! Also, the Mapping page is great... Fast and easy to understand. As usual you will be able to insert a lot of plugins to a layer or a Pad. Also use the ADSR or AHD... The recorder and the "Move to next Pad" feature is great! BeatMaker is very powerful. Certainly the most powerful DAW from the App Store. A lot of features, but once you know them, it's easy to navigate inside Beatmaker 3. Next Tutorial the Audio Track.
Edit Sample Page Here you will be able to edit your Audio files. First, you will have to select the Layer and the associated audio file. By a Tap on the Edit button, your audio will be displayed in full screen mode. Edit function: Trim audio (zero to Snap / Snap to grid / no Snap) Copy / Paste Fade in & out / Silence / Time Stretching / Reverse / Stereo to mono Playing mode: No loop / Normal Play / Alternated Live Stretch & disc streaming Slice: Auto Slice Delete, copy & paste Slice Slices to Pads / Create Pattern Here is an awesome feature! In 2 minutes you will be able to slice an audio file (split or Grid), then to send all the slices to Pads and create a pattern too! Check out the video demo. Slice to Single or Multiple layers / Slices to Apple Loop Record Here also a great feature. You can auto assigned a new recording to the next Pad, in Synthesizer mode or not! ADSR OR AHD / 9 EQ Filters for each layers Layers Fx For each layer: Overdrive / SV Filter / Invert Phaser & Bit Crusher Modulations 1 more ADSR OR AHD per layer / the re trigger switch / Layer Gain & Tune setting Mapping I love this page. So easy to map your Sample on the keyboard! Plugin
You can insert an Audiobus, Audio Unit or IAA plugin to a Pad (More with Audiobus, AUM,... Check out below) A multi band distortion. 3 bands. The App is very simple. An input and output volume on the 2 sides. In the center the 3 bands. Swipe up or down to set the distortion volume and left and right to set the frequency range. Easy. Easy, but great. Great for a lot uses. Not for guitar only. For my video demo I used it on a bass and a Drum Loop. I really love it... For a bass, it's awesome! You can add the distortion on the bass and low medium frequencies only... A distorted bass without the "dirty" of the high frequencies... For a Drum also,... You can dirty your sound in the same way. To conclude. Only one distortion but 3 bands... What I prefer to have? That or 3 conventional distortions. Wthout any hesitation, this one! Check out the video demo.... A Killer App, a Must Have!
