  • Hello, just wanted to let you know that the SynthJacker Spring Equinox Sale is now on. From now until Wed 25 March you can get SynthJacker for half the regular price, so the sale price is EUR 4.49 or equivalent. As you may know, SynthJacker has some specific settings to create multisamples suitable for the Obsidian synth…
  • I made a video about how to use SynthJacker's BYOAF (Bring Your Own Audio File) feature. It's up on YouTube now, hope you like it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXEN0u3gd2A
  • Bug fix release v0.7.1 is on the App Store now. Here's the news: Fixes and enhancements for iOS 13 and iPadOS 13 since version 0.7.0: • Restored full-screen instrument Audio Unit view. • Fixed crash when playing back an imported recording. • Better Dark Mode support.
  • Much appreciated, thank you! It makes me happy if you find SJ useful for your music making.
  • It's the SynthJacker September Equinox Half-Price Flash Sale! From now through Monday 23 Sep, get SynthJacker for 50% off from the App Store. New update coming soon, too!
  • Actually, you can tap and hold the plus and minus buttons of an increment button. Awesome! Thanks for sharing.
  • I don’t know at the moment, I need to look into that. I’m using a form library (Eureka), which has saved me a ton of work, but it may also need some customization even if the underlying iOS UI components support it. Nevertheless, that could be a good usability improvement.
  • Yes, it is now possible to select either a single mono input or a stereo pair if the audio interface supports it (like 1, 2, 3, or 4 as mono, or 1+2, 3+4 as stereo). The gap thing is mostly resolved by the trimming options. There is some latency which will cause a drift with very long sampling sequences, but it can be…
  • :3 Thanks, that’s so nice to hear! Hopefully your sampling session turned out to be a successful one! Originally some of the controls were actually sliders, but it was quite difficult to set the times accurately. The increment buttons were better for that. Also, I didn’t have a suitable rotary dial control, so the…
  • New SynthJacker demo video: how to autosample AUv3 instrument Audio Units on iOS https://youtu.be/OWBn6K8l2Sg
  • OK, if I got this right, then it is already analog when it hits the UCA222, so the sample rate will be whatever its USB uses by default (maybe it's configurable?). Tell me how it goes; you can examine the results in the Files app. If you copy them over to a Mac, use the afinfo utility. On a PC, maybe Audacity or somesuch.
  • How are you planning to connect the Trinity to your iOS device? Do you have an audio interface with a digital input (like Zoom U-44)?
  • Sure! It isn't even version 1.0 yet ;) Lots to do.
  • Let this be the thread where I announce the latest version of SynthJacker, the autosampler for iPad musicians, and quite handy for Nanostudio 2 users: https://twitter.com/coniferprod/status/1135204077846040576
  • Since SynthJacker was mentioned, I just wanted to drop in to say that there is a new version 0.5.4 in the App Store now. There are some bug fixes, but mostly it’s about letting you choose the output file slice format (AIFF, WAVE or CAF) and retain the original recording if you want to do your own slicing. The…
  • Hello, at the moment not directly -- as @dendy mentioned, there is a loopback method documented by richardyot on the AudioBus forum (thread). I would put it like this: I'm not saying that SynthJacker will never get IAA and/or Audiobus support, but right now it seems a little distant -- there's a lot to be done on the…
  • The normalization is actually straight out of AudioKit, so maybe I’m just using it wrong. I got decent results sampling a bass sound from an external synth and normalizing after, but I’ll look into it.
  • With 6 and 12 semitones options, too! :-) Also, I think I was able to make the preset list behave nicely. There are still some nagging problems with Audio Unit views (and AU playback), but getting better. Samples from AUs are stereo, whereas samples from external synths are in mono — I simply haven’t figured out how to…
  • V0.4.0 is on the App Store, with the post-processing stuff discussed above. Enjoy!
  • Sneak preview: https://twitter.com/coniferprod/status/1114217344627290112 EDIT: :# The interesting post-processing options are below the fold... those naming options were already in 0.2.3.
  • Thank you all for your comments and feedback! I think I have now entered all bug reports and enhancement ideas into the issue tracker, and will now proceed to reproduce the bugs and try to fix them. I have to say, this is the best and most feedback I've ever received on any app. You guys are really into this stuff, but so…
  • Thanks for your feedback! I noticed that sometimes the AU view does not show on the second time, but I didn't notice the unresponsiveness. They might be related; will investigate. About how long a silence? It might be due to the AU not being prepared in time for playback, but I didn't find it too much. I typically trim…
  • Ahem. SynthJacker v0.3.2 with AUv3 support is now on the App Store. What's new: * Support for instrument Audio Units: now you can autosample your AUv3 MIDI synths. SynthJacker hosts the Audio Units, and no extra hardware is needed. * Many small fixes and improvements. Have a great weekend everyone!
  • SynthJacker is now available on the App Store for many more countries than earlier. The Spring Equinox sale is still on until Sunday. Next update with AUv3 support is in the works. Have a nice weekend everyone!
  • Just wanted to inform you that SynthJacker v0.2.3 is now on the App Store. Here is the blurb: * New, comprehensive note and sample naming and export options in Settings; provides compatibility for importing and automapping samples in various apps like Nanostudio 2 (Obsidian) and VirSyn AudioLayer * Option to name MIDI note…
  • Thanks for your comments, I'll get to work then!
  • Regarding Audiobus: it is great, and I did some preliminary work with Audiobus support, but decided to go for AUv3 first. I realise that the critical mass is maybe not quite yet there with AUv3, but it is the "official" Apple technology, and more and more synth makers are taking that route. It does not rule out Audiobus…
  • Hello, SynthJacker developer here - thanks for the interest and suggestions. I wanted to pop by to tell you what I'm working on and get more of your input. After some back and forth I think I'm close to getting the AUv3 support into beta testing. I can tell you, it feels pretty great to capture an Audio Unit playing like…
