Bolasol has released Werkbench 2.0 – a major update to the audio sequencer for the iPad.
Werkbench 2 features a ‘completely overhauled the audio engine and tons of cool features’. Key new features include file importer, Audiobus support, new sequencer and updated graphics.
Werkbench 2.0 is available in the App Store for US $6.99.
one of the most interesting apps just got better, it works SO well with the IO dock now and the way you can chain patterns together.
Nice update, thanks Bolasol. Like the overdub and audiopaste options.
His my first go with it: https://soundcloud.com/wavetables/werkbench-2-0
My problem is, I can’t get apps like Animoog to sample into it. Ive seen it done in a vid with other synth apps, but they used a midi keyboard. Is that required? Kind of makes it hard to do stuff in bed or on the road.
If you’re having trouble sampling, you probably just need to lower the threshold in the ‘Sampling’ tab. The built-in mic input is super hot so our default threshold is a bit high for line-level audiobus signals. Cheers!
I meant sampling via audiobus, from animoog into werkbench.
Hah! It was the threshold! Thanks!
Karl – thanks for responding to reader’s comments.
Not only does that help out Opi, but it lets everybody else know that you’re a developer that’s listening.
Hi Opi, Im having the same issue with AniMoog, I am wondering if it is to do with sample buffer sizes as Animoogs is fixed at 1024 and I find that I have to alter other synths to the same t avoid clipped sounds or other odd behaviours….i dont know. by the way there is a demo of it in use live here…
