tardigrain

Tardigrain has been a home run from the get go. The synth engine makes it incredibly easy to get a wide range of sustained sounds out of virtually any sound material. The UI is also brilliant: beautiful, uncluttered, powerful. The touch keyboard + chords layout is just wonderful - I honestly wish I could use it with other iOS synths. The issue this update fixes - touch response problems with the edges, often making the controls finicky - was an annoyance that I really didn’t mind putting up with given how amazing this app is. Until this fix, I had no idea just how much better this would make the app feel. This is an unexpectedly awesome quality of life improvement to an already awesome app. Kudos for figuring out how to make a second home run out of tardigrain.

Update: The developer quickly fixed the inability topick the last waveform on the side pull-over panel as the IAA icon covers it on the IAA transport control panel. Now I can also just do a single touch to pull out the side bar. 👍 It’s still annoying having part of the audiogram covered. Just make it a callapsible pull out menu. The UI will look cleaner too. Oh, I forgot. I still can’t get any audio through tardigrain used as an AU. Now off for some more ‘sonic seasonings’ tardigrain style❣️ ——— While some interesting sounds are to be had with the tardigrain app, there are some serious UI design issues. First, you can’t pick the last waveform on the side pull-over panel as the IAA icon covers it on the IAA transport control panel. Both the control icon panel and the IAA transport panel overlay the audiogram, which is your working area. Both of those groups of icons, ideally, should be collapsible pullout panels like the one they have, but to be able to ‘just touch’ the expansion icon to expand for access, like many other sound/synth/audio apps developers do. The pull-over panel on the right, as it is now, can take anywhere from 2-3 touch/pulls to as many as 8-10 tries on my iPad Pro on iOS 11. A real pain. I think the strength of tardigrain may lie in the flexibility of the sound source. Trying to use tardigrain as an AU, so far, as soon as I engage it I lose all sound no matter what I do.

An easy 5 stars app. This is a brilliant, great sounding and cool looking app. The controls, while maybe not instantly intuitive, give a lot of control over how the sound is shaped. It has one of the best designed keyboards I've seen in all iOS apps allowing assignment of modulators on x and y axis. The app feels a touch like Samplr, one of my favorite apps ever. Even some animations in the app look similar. The tuning / pitch shifting is brilliant. I wish there was a better documentation for this app as the on screen guide is not enough.

After watching a video I was excited about the capabilities. But then after trying it as an audio unit in BM3, I feel completely ripped off. The ability to use your own samples from a session doesn’t seem to exist. All the cool modulation options are no longer there either... Everything is about audiounits these days. If developers don’t make their stuff to run smoothly and function 100 percent as audiounits, it’s a wasted effort... Disappointing. I wanted to be able to give it 5 stars after seeing the video on it. Make honest videos, there’s no practical purpose to how an app functions in standalone. Show how it works in practical applications as audiounits.

This was my most used app for a while. Haven’t used it as much lately, having a few issues with the recording source audio into the app directly and just moved on to another. Still amazing unique app. Thank you for the amazing tools u share with us to express our creativity. I love your dev work!?!
