Fl Studio Mobile -Now Pitch & Time stretching with Tempo Sync!!!

3/7/2019

Fl Studio after taking over the app development themselves have been continuously doing impressive updates. This is another great one. Sometimes there is temptation to get FL Studio when having money just because the app is embedded into it. Like a DAW inside a DAW... Wish they would release it as an VST for use in any DAW but guess that would not happen as it would be shooting themselves in the foot...

Update:
- Pitch & Time stretching with Tempo Sync for samples and loops
- Sync all samples (track header menu)
- Rendered songs/loops now contain embedded tempo data
- Stretching function in envelope, notes/drums editors (on selection)
- New demo tracks

Updated apps and some ramblings...

1/10/2019

0 Comments

So as last time this is a collection of updates and some are not so fresh anymore but felt that it is more for people that have not heard about the apps before or that have some interest but have not gotten them yet.

RoboVox Voice Changer

This has been around for awhile and Mikrosonic is still going strong with an update a year or so.
Would say that this is the best voicechanger on Android and it is possible to have a lot of fun using it for recording and manipulating sounds in real time. Can be used in all kinds of creative ways and now the recording time is much longer plus many more effects to the recordings!

- Support for latest Android versions
- GUI refresh
- 8 new voice models added
- Recording time extended to 5 minutes

Google Play:
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mikrosonic.DroidVox

Harmonium

It is easy to pass on a lot of virtual instruments as they are normally substandard and full of ads, but there is also a lot of good ones specially if they have midi support like this one just got.

Google Play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=harmonium.music.gameg.real.harmoniumfree

Update:
Major Bug Fixes
New 6.25 Octaves Harmonium
Midi Keyboard Support
Low Latency Engine (beta)
Scale Changer, Key Names (C D E F... / Sa Re Ga Ma... / Do Re Mi Fa...)
Midi Recording (Requires Photos/Media/Files Permission)
Added Male / Female Knob for adjusting Bass / Treble according to vocals or various earphones.

7 Pad : Scales and chords

Google Play:
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mixticstudio.sevenpad

Update:

Winter Promo until 31/01/2019: Virtuoso scale pack is free when you buy the all in one pack
Performance update for midi out over WIFI.
Free audio file player for all previous premium buyers: listen to your audio files (.wav.mp3.ogg), while playing the usual sounds of 7Pad.
AB loop possible on .wav files.

New backing track audio file player : you can select any .wav, .ogg and .mp3 file from your device storage and play along with 7Pad chords and scales !
Could be a drum part, a backing track with all but your instrument or any audio you may like, 7Pad can now play it directly in app.
The AB Loop function of the player allow ( only with .wav files ) to repeat any sub part of your audio file.
The new Tap Tempo button permit to adjust Tempo bpm for the Song chords reproduction and favorite scales changes to play along.
7Pad Chords velocity can be adjusted for the whole song, by choosing the Slider velocity source in 7Pad Song options parameters.

Audio Evolution Mobile:

Google Play:
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.extreamsd.aemobile

* Individual clips can now be renamed.
* When using a USB audio interface, the input dialog will be optionally displayed right after creating a new audio track.
* 'Virtual keyboard' can now be selected as input for USB MIDI tracks to drive outboard MIDI gear.
* Added 'P' and 'E' as alternative to the 'Space bar' key to solve issues with Dex.
* Added more keyboard shortcuts (F4 - F8), Ctrl-S for save.
* Solved black text issue in drop-down menus.

Psychedelic camera and Color Night Vision Camera

A friend use the Color Night Vision Camera a lot lately with excellent results (For artistic photo and video work, not so much for the night vision aspect...) and will post about it soon...
The Psychadelic Camera is a lot of fun and can be used for video work... Think that it is important to do videos for Youtube of new music being made as it is at least one more way to capture some attention and to have something that can make saomething look more interesting in your pocket easily is always great...
The update is maybe not so useful for this but kind of interesting as it the apps now have Virtual Reality mode as well...

Google Play:
play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=ziro+div

Grainstorm

Last but not least!

The winner of being the first to incorporate Convolution Reverb to an Android app is Grainstorm!!!

To engage the convolution reverb the impulse response have to be loaded into one of the four tracks like this:

If playing sound on track 1 and want to have the reverb on that sound, first load the ir on track 2, then power on the reverb on track1 and then press the track2 button to load the ir from track2.

This makes sense if having the Convolution Reverb page open in the app, promise.

As always recommend this app for anyone that likes to experiment with sounds as ther eis a lot of options to be had and there is not anything else like it on Android. Maybe miss that it had possibilities to connect a midi keyboard but as the developer is constantly doing updates who knows it may be there one day soon!

Google Play:
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.rocks.grainstorm

Update:

- Convolution based reverb
- Bypass switch for all effects
- etc.

Disclaimer:
Like to post updates but it becomes a hassle sometimes to do whole posts just for medium updates or if there is a lot of them... but still think that it is nice to show what is going on with apps that they have on the radar or it becomes a way to discover apps that may have not been seen.
So will start to show updates for apps in this way but probably miss a lot of good updates as can only list the ones that are showing up on my devices... So if there is developers out there or readers that have knowledge of interesting updates please let us all know...

This looks like a big update to an already stacked list of features.
Have not tried it yet but am very curious about the Sampleverse thingy and it is forward thinking of them to have MPE support.
There is a full review coming next week from Robin that contributed to Musical Android before. So that will clarify things.

The unlocked version is 14.99 Dollars on Android and think that is a good price for a workstation of this capacity but there is also a demo to try.

Suggest that if this is interesting to you go and read some more on their website:
us.openlabs.com/

Google Play:
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.openlabs.stagelight

Update:
What's new:
SampleVerse: Our new hybrid instrument sampler is here, including

Other enhancements:

Dragon - Synthesized Dirty and Mean Drum Machine Update

8/23/2018

0 Comments

There is some apps that have been on a list mentally to get and the last week or so have gotten them and one of them was this.
A very good buy in my opinion as it brings a dirtiness that is not found in any other apps (or in 95% of hardware drum machines either).
Plus that it is not sample based but synthesized which opens up a lot of more fun hands on tweaking.
It is easy to get into and have a lot of posssibilites for tweaky fun but it is not for everyone,
but anyone looking for a drum groovebox app to play dirty with should check this out!

Update:

Added amplitude controls to snare and bass drum
Added tone distance control to snare
Added noise control to bass drum
Added presets Dinon, crushed hornet, 806, 807, grid grime
Made font size relative to screen
Changed wav naming convention

Google Play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thiiird.drgn

P.s-
This video shows it at its dirtiest and want to mention that it is possibe to get a bit more cleaner tones and also the kick can get very punchy which is not so obvious here.

G-STOMPER STUDIO 5.7.1 - Update and important Statement!

3/18/2018

1 Comment

There is as always some interesting new functionaity but one thing that is very nice is the following statement:

Enhanced Privacy

Over the last few years, the hype around any sort of data collection grew exponential, and at the same time privacy became more and more important. Since these two facts do not fit together without strict rules, it takes a serious amount of time just to keep under control what data is collected by third-party APIs and if these data are used in accordance with the given law and our privacy rules. Time that would be way better invested in new features, improvements, or in new applications.
For this reason and to stay compliant with upcoming privacy regulations, we have decided to completely remove any third-tools (such as push notifications, analytics data collection, mobile ads generated by online APIs, etc.) from our services (our “website”, “software” or “mobile applications”), which are not explicitly required for their proper and safe operation. Please be sure to review our updated Privacy Policy.

The other updates are:

Upgraded to the latest Ableton Link 3.0.1 API: Now supporting start/stop sync
New 'Lock' feature (Pattern Set): If enabled, you can make real-time changes to Patterns during live sessions without permanently changing the actual Pattern in the Pattern Set

G-Stomper Studio with another great update!

11/1/2017

0 Comments

This app is growing constantly and always with more useful additions.
This time dynamics is at the frontlines, making static rhythms disappear.
As seen in the picture above it is possible to access sliders underneath the step sequencer to control velocity, move each beat forwards in micro steps (that is just great) and finally make the beats fire differently for each pass of the sequencer.

It is fantastic additions to an already full featured app.

Remixlive - Now with better sample editing

10/27/2017

1 Comment

Remixlive is being sold as a remix of already made loops, but is that really fun for anyone serious about music making?
Luckily it is also possible to do direct recording and load loops all made from scratch. What makes it attractive too is that it is made with performance in mind and as such can be used in live settings and jams.
Like that the effects comes with X-Y pads and not faders or similar.
So it can be a good thing to look into Remixlive if working a lot with samples.

Anyho this is not why this post is being made it was more to mention that it is more control over the sample editing with the latest update which makes things more interesting.

Google Play:
Remixlive

This version adds Waveform zoom, a new feature offering more control and improving the sample editor!
Display samples in full screen and edit them accurately:
- Edit start & end points to create a new loop.
- Adjust ADSR sample parameters to make them crispier or softer.
