Just picked this up – looks, feels and sounds like it’s big brother app on iPad. Happy to contribute $3.99 to the cause.
what exactly is the difference between this and wave mapper, doesn’t anybody know?
This is a performance synth, you can modify and save the actual presets. WaveMapper allows you to make major change in to sound’s structure (oscillator, filters, routings etc). The patches you hear in this demo are free on Mr. Wolfgang’s website.
You really get under the hood and make your own sounds from scratch. For example you can’t adjust the filter envelope of the sound directly. However in the mapper section you can move the filter icon over the different program boxes (they are just other presets) and use the filter settings from those programs to save a new sound. Its a really fast and easy way to discover new sounds.
*you can’t really get under the hood
is what I ment to say oops
x-y modulation pads for one. it looks like the keys can do some different things as well.
Whatever Wolfgang does is magic as far as I am concerned.
Thank You Mr. Palm!!
@kid P:
There are several differences.
There’s a show and tell video from Wolfgang on YouTube.
Poly pressure in is nice. Now I just need a keyboard that can generate it! Maybe the quneo? 😉
thanks everyone, maybe a better question would be if I have wavemapper already what is the advantage of having minimapper?
