First of all: great app! It has the potential of becoming my main live app and maybe i can sell my Korg Kaosspad in the future.
I like the modular idea and the simple way of adding modules on the fly!
I have lots of feature idea's, maybe way too much for now, but here are some that aren't mentioned in other topics here:
– First it would be nice if the filebrowser of the fileplayer and the sampleplayer would be the same (as the sampleplayer browser: i'd like to prelisten files too and i'd like to copy/paste files too, just as it's now possible in the samplebrowser)
– The round knobs: i would like to see a setting to use vertical or horizontal gestures to control them. I find it hard to control them and that's not good for a live app. (see how Nanoloops and Filatron implemted it, both work fine)
– What if the X-Y pad (for all modules) has a record option so you can record you're movements. Maybe you can implement it this way: when you hold the hold button while moving you're fingen on the pad, a (new) movement is recorded (or if you don't move, just a normal static state is recorded or so to say a movement is deleted). After this when you press hold it will start to loop the movement. This would be very usefull in a live situation!
– A module to use the Accelomator of the iPhone. In the module you can set wich pad (from one of the other modules) will be controlled by moving you're iphone. (Just like in the Nanoloops synth). This way you have even more live control: you can control 3 modules while seeing 2!
– A gate module to mute/unmute the sound in a rythm. Maybe useing the x-y pad for different rythms and speeds.
– An Oscilator module, controlled by a pad: x-axe: the pitch, y-axe: timbre (from simple sine-wave through square too more complex waves). (And this way you can build a simple synth!)
– A special delay/loop module with an x-y pad (x-axe: time, y-axe: mix between original sound and looped sound): when pressing the pad, the last measure (length set by x-axe) of the playing sound is looped.
Maybe some more in the future, but these came up very soon.
Good luck! And hope you have enough time and resources to make this a killer live app!
