Feature request

[clarte]

hello,

congratulations on a conceptually brilliant and superbly implemented synth, well worth 10 times the price.

I figured I would post a couple of my dream features on here, I'm however not sure whether the implementation would be possible due to the limitation of the iPad hardware.

1. record overdub. the ability to overdub recordings would be a great addition and allow entire pieces to be constructed without the use of third party kit.

2. alongside the oscillators, a sample buffer with granular controls. the thought of having the same assignable touch controls combined with a sample player is making me drool as I write this.

anyhow I hope that your endeavour is paying off and look forward to seeing anything you create in the future

I'm definitely heading towards sample-based objects. Right now it looks like Summer. Granulators, sample playback, background players, etc. I don't think TC-11 will ever quite act like Live, or a multi-track sequencer (for overdubbing), but there should be lots of flexibility for audio file playback.

Personally, I would shell out another $30 for a sample manipulation style tc-11 .... but if you can get all that stuff under the hood of the original, even better!

+1 to samples and granular!

I came to this sight to post the very same request. perhaps the ability to record and draw your own samples and even modulators? At the same time I got TC-11, i also got grain synth and virtual synth, amazing what combining samples and drawing spectral parameters can do to the sound. so the best tactile controller TC-11 with this would take it beyond anything I can imagine!

Thanks for this truly inspiring app!

Just a hands on, and wow, increadible, just few ideas, a multistage envellope or interpolate possibility in the stepsequencer could be nice, and i don't if it's already possible, but a way to record wath you play on the screen into a daw (midi-sysex-osc), it's very fun to play but it will be nice to have a hands on,

Is it plan to do a pc or mac version

[robert@lauriston.com]

MIDI out would be nice. I'd particularly like to be able to play Animoog using the TC-11 UI.

Please, can You implement the Dropbox communication directly from TC-11? Very fine if we could download and upload directly from the Download/Upload menu. To send some sound we have to use the email, then after this only, we can record the preset's file to the Drobpox.
But for the moment, there is not possible to use Dropbox to download the preset made by another gux, or by ourselves, and saved previously in Dropbox.
Today I wanted to use an older version of my previous preset, and at that moment I found that the TC-11 is not able to download the file from the Dropbox. And the Dropbox is not able to push it to TC-11... for this i have to use the Mac...

Dear colleagues from Bit Shape. I use the french verson of iOS, then all menus of TC-11 are in french.
I'm sorry to tell you, but many of the words you use in French TC-11 are totally incomprehensible to the French people. There are even some that make us smile.
I think you've used for a Canadian or made the translation by Google Translator! The French of Quebec is very pleasant, but if many expressions appear as picturesque, they are no longer used in the current French! If this is Google Translator, the result is even funnier ... You must see with my texts, I use it myself!
(an example: In Sequencer, you have one parameter named: TARIF!!!! I presume this mean RATE in english, but you selected the word in french which means: PRICE LIST! The best solution could be: VITESSE, or TEMPO!
If you need a helping hand, do not hesitate to ask me!

Like You can see, I made several patches. For editing the patches, we will stronly appreciate the multiple UNDO function.

The problem is that we can make several modification and then and we need to face facts, that the taked direction was unsuccessful.

It is not possible to do a backup at any step, it would be better able to go back up a step that was acceptable, then to go in another direction.

+1 for granular synthesis:
Other granular synths on iOS are (to see, inspire and maybe buy their algorithms):
csGrain (a shit to expensive - granular synth is very poor, the sound is modified by the classical effects)
Curtis (not terrible tool)
Curtis lite (free)
Grain Science - very good, but keyboard oriented
Sylo Synth - little brother of the previous, free, keyboard oriented
iDensity - probably only one synth for real granular synthesis
MegaCurtis (free and paid versions)... nothing from Strange agency is good
Nebula - interessting to use their motor
Sound-Mashin - an obscure thing with an obscure method of granular synth.
Sound Warp - interessting attempt but stay a toy
Wave shaper - very "gestual", but very primitive and simple.

The succes of the specific iSynth is the largest number of the presets, especially those wich could be created by third parties.
If, in the future, TC-11 will dispose several banks of presets (made by third party) we will need to use the system management by folders. This could be done using two columns: the left with the folders, the right with all presets. With this system, we would have today two folders in the left column: 1: Factory and 2: User. In the case of creation of each new preset, the system should ask us, where we would save the preset.
With this system we would need too the effective system for exchange and displacement of individuals presets, for example when we decide to change our classification, so we will need to change some folder's names, create some new, and mmodify their contents... (this system is known in certain iSynths on OSX with those operations: duplicate - swap - displace).

The #1 thing I'd like would be a minimal MIDI or OSC implementation supporting patch changes. If that's impossible due to limitations in the framework, then single-click next / previous patch buttons in one corner of the screen or maybe an expandable set of radio buttons to which you could assign patches. Anything so that I could switch quickly during live performance.

It would also be better musically if the previous patch would sustain into the next.

A panic button would also be nice.

Another granular synth was released yesterday that looks really good called Borderlands Granular. I havent bought it yet. I really like the way the interface was designed. It reminds me of 'Feed' which is just a simpler sampler.

I still haven't bought TC-11 yet either even though I really want to. I have been following it and searching for every video I can find on it since then (I wish there were more). I am really still holding out for some kind of social sharing of settings to make it easy for people to get settings that others have made directly from the app. I really think this app will take off even more when that happens so I am kinda of waiting and hoping for that feature before shelling out the $. I doubt I will understand the app enough to make big custom changes so I will be dependent on the creativity of others I have a feeling .
