 Posted: Mon Feb 23, 2009 10:48 am Post subject: Request Function and ideas thread |
 |
|
I decided to do a request thread. So put all of your request and ideas here 
My first requests are :
- a distortion would be nice
- a delay too
- a random pattern generator for the bassline like on ABL2
- a possibility to choose the number of step for a pattern
- chain pattern like on real TB 303 or TR 909
- choose sample 808/909 for each sounds of drums would be nice
- some shortcuts would be nice too
TechnoBox rocks
See you all later |

All shorcuts i have found on the forum
Shift + > (next step) = Shift pattern right
Shift + < (prev step) = Shift pattern left
Shift + C,D,D#,.. = Transpose pattern
Shift + Clear = Clears a pattern with all notes off
Shift + Gate = Randomize pattern
Shift + Down = Alter pattern
What will be next ? .
I hope the manual will shortly be released even if it's not a pdf |

double click on play = play the song
one click on play = play pattern |

Mike have you think about a matrix sequencer to control parameters like cut off reso and pitch for example, i think it should be a great idea due the small button to control this kind of parameter. I don't know if it's possible but it would be great.
Perhaps two control parameters for drums would be nice, Start and Decay envellope or why not a volume control on each instruments.

Would it be possible to add midi sync via wifi. Or is too much CPU being used already.
My if there was a host app to sync to the way the Nintendo DS does. Of even via OSC using something like osculator. |

I may have more, but for now this is what I got: one already mentioned here, and really an important ability. but another that would be a FABULOUS and simple function, that could add MUCH MORE FLEX, to the concept...
First and most importantly: MIDI sync, via Wi-Fi (and MIDI yoke, virtual MIDI driver. for those of us on win; I am already using MIDI yoke with two other controller App's from an iPod Touch, and it works great with Ableton Live! (iTouchMidi controller App's) so that would be a go, for those of us on Vista x64, I'm already having great success, with other App's on my iT but I will tell you, after much debate, I have went with your 303 emulation, over the other two players in the game. your wave shape mix is a fabulous function. it gives a slight dueling 303 sound in the middle of the pot. LOVE IT! that could even lend itself to going FAR beyond a 303 emulation, simply by adding more wave shapes to the selection!!!  wow, imagine being able to mix other types of wave shapes with eachother too!!! BRILLIANT!!! you've left it wide open for further dev!
Next: an important Ability for me, would be the ability to designate one audio channel (left out) as 808 or 909, and the other (right out) as the 303! when I run Technobox into my audio mixer, I can run a line for each "machine" simply by using a 1/8th to 1/4" mono TRS's and have the ability to post-process the 303 separate from the percussion. A simple channel config button, would suffice, and who knows, if you can make it discretely change channel configurations, that little button/switch might even provide another way for us to do tricks with channel switching/mixing....
JUST THOSE TWO ADDITIONS WOULD BE SICK!!! (oh, and later on down the road, maybe you could add some sample parameters to the 808/909 sounds like the "IR-909" has, and possibly you would "beat" that fellow at his game, and provide the ability to load our own percussion samples...
Oh damn, I hope I haven't asked for too much to start out!
Noise.io will be MIDI enabled soon. I know you can achieve this as well, eventually. that will be a huge step, in the right direction!
technoBox ROX, soo far!!! |

I'm adding "Hard panning knob from left to right for the the synth/drum machine" to the feature request list -- thanks! |

thx! ...thought of something else that would be cool
TIME SIGS! especially 3/4! (and independent sigs for percussion, and synth) |

See, the way I figure; If I keep telling you ideas, maybe you'll get really inspired
I am serious about all my ideas! and some of those ideas could expand the App way out, far beyond the current abilities. just adding other waveforms, too... could take the technoBox far past just a 303 sound synth, with 808 and 909! (although so far, it's doing an immaculate sounding job of it! with the exception of a couple simple percussion controls, you don't yet have integrated)
Adding more wave shapes, to the synth, (is this a complicated matter for technoBox?) and the ability to load perc samples on our own (like "beatmaker") but with a basic set of controls for attack, and decay, and volume control, mute buttons, and maybe sample pitch, with wi-fi MIDI...
as far as other App's I play around with on my iPod Touch right now, that can do some pretty serious stuff; (although neither of which is yet to be truly considered professional, due to some major missing functions) Noise.io which is SERIOUSLY powerful, and sounds incredible for how much CPU it uses (it's getting closer to PRO, for what it is, all the time) then there is Beatmaker (which is a great little sampler, with sequencer that sadly, is on a device that is sorely lacking the right amount of memory, for it to serve as a true sampler, and crashes the ipod/iphone you really push it's limits, unless you are using really lo-fi mono samples)
Maybe for us to have the ability to load our own percussion sample bank into technoBox, you could make a simple PC/Mac program, which we can load our samples into, to make the sound bank/drum set. I can do my own sample editing, as long as I know what bit frequencies, and rate's to make my samples (having a range of possible freq/rates would be best, because although high rate samples sound realistic for drums, ultra lo-fi sounds awsome, for some styles, I love lo-fi samples for percussion, and I would use samples as low as 4, 6, or 8bit 11khz samples) once the bank of samples is ready, and loaded into the app on the computer, and a bank file is made, we could just upload it via Wi-Fi to technoBox, just like "beatmaker" does, then inside technoBox you could make a folder where we could save our banks, and make the bank data savable with the sessions making sure to give us the ability to save at least a few banks. ...then, not only could we have any drum sounds we want, but we could also share our banks with eachother, on the message board! I would be happy to make a custom bank or two of my own sounds to share with the other users!
I see technoBox quickly becoming a huge hit! (but I'll just about promise you, that you'll have to expand beyond merely a 303 with an 808, and 909. please do not take that statement, as a negative. it is by no means. I love technoBox, and no matter which direction you take it, I'll always play around with it, and it'll likely eventually find it's way into some of my productions, in one way or another!

Keep in mind that we're pretty much just one developer (Me!) and some of those other companies you mention have more developers. I don't think tB should become a do-it-all app, if there are other apps out there that can import samples I'd recommend using them. What we really need is an API so that we can sync apps, and I think it would be good if Apple designed an official API for this. Audio Units already has the concept of sync however there is no host current on the iphone, so there is nothing to sync to. If Apple implemented a simple sync protocol of some sort all developers would be able to sync their apps.

wow, relax.
since when is tossing around ideas, a bad thing for our creativity?
there are no other App's for this mobile platform, that can both be a sampler, and a synth, at the same time. but you have the makings, of such an App, within your reach, why not at least experiment, and see if it's possible? ..who knows, maybe one day, you could actually run those samples through the filters of the 303, and wham, you would have something as cool as a navation bass station, when you plug a drum machine into it's filters....
something to think about...

also, the iPhone/Ipod Touch, is far from being powerful enough to run several seperate App's at once. especially since it's only currently got 128mb of memory, and the OS alone uses AT LEAST half of that (and more, unless you constantly kill processes such as mail, and safari... after each use)
Apple made a big mistake when they did not design an OS for their mobile devices which would be capable of running multiple App's, and they made a FAR bigger mistake, by providing sooooo little OS memory for App use.

No, don't get me wrong! Feature requests are great..! I read them all with interest, I just wanted to point out that if Apple implemented more APIs for us developers to work it would be better for the end users as well.. |
