Anyone had a go of it and can compare it to jasuto?
I don't think i can justify the purchase. I haven't really used any audio apps on my android past the novelty factor.
Having said that, i'd still love to give Reactable a go on a proper table setup.
Jasuto and Reactable are very different programs. I've used both on iOS. Jasuto is a fully modular synthesis environment, with added abilities to do some recorded "motions" of the sound. Reactable was, in a word, disappointing. It looks like it would be great stuff, but in reality it's an extremely limited sample playback gizmo. You only get a couple of controls per sample, and the built in tone generators are very limited. I found Reactable to be an over-hyped toy, or at best a flashy but basic sample player/mixer, but Jasuto is a really great feature filled tool.
We have the reactable here at teh university, they even bought 3 of tghem: 2 round ones, one rectangular. Having played with it a bit, it is more a giant toy than a decent instrument/controller. You have not that much control so it stays limited. the best use for this machine is on a gig to show off. Indeed, the appearance is nice but it is the sound that counts, isn't it?My main issue is the pricetag for those tables: € 10000 a piece and you need to hoop up a computer. For that kind of money you can get a bunch of ipads with some apps and you can do music in groups with better synths and sounds.
How many decent music apps does it make now for Android – three or four?
And why is it more expensive on Android than iOS?
Great. Another music app that doesn't have any MIDI integration.
ffs.
Looks interesting, i might get it if it goes on sale or something (i could use a good sample player) but currently the cost vs usefulness is a bit…… meh-ish…..
Thanks for the reply, though i'm a little sad to hear how limited it is.
Curious too why it's more expensive on Android.
Smaller market? ok, but wouldn't it be great to encourage it too grow by pricing competivitely?
I love the app and want tha hardware but maybe when I got enough money 🙂
