[@wiredbassclarinet]

I find this really inspiring. I know this is a long shot, but do you see working with someone to makes this an Android app at some point? Alternatively, are there any non tape hardware loopers that you recommend?

[@wiredbassclarinet]

@@Hainbach thank you much! And thank you for all of the creative, inspiring things that you do!

[@KakoGuzmanMusic]

The moment you realize you spent hundreds or thousands of dollars buying a Morphagene, Instruo Arbhar, Qu-Bit Nebulae, Strymon Magneto, and assorted VCAs, sequencers, filters, preamps, mics, etc., to accomplish the same results. . . ;-) Great app, Hainbach!

[@erict2899]

There are a bunch of things eurorack can do that ios can’t and vica versa. Combining all the worlds is where the real fun is.

[@syncdestroyer]

Yeah, but those modules will be 100% fully functional in 5 years unlike the iPad which will be obsolete.

[@deadredeyes]

@@syncdestroyer TRUTH.

[@HotStrange]

@@syncdestroyer if the developer is actually decent (and Bram Bos is), then it’ll be around for many years. There are apps I use regularly that have been around since 2010-2011. Yeah you have to upgrade the iPad every 5-6 years but its stupidly cheap for what it does. Don’t know why you’d think it’ll be obsolete lol

[@HotStrange]

You think that’s bad, wait til you hear about MiRack lol

[@QuietHorn]

Bought the app last night. It's really nice. Here are a couple recommendations to make it even better: 1) Adjustable feedback amount. Loopers are essentially delays with 100% feedback. If you can make the loops have adjustable feedback, you can fade the sounds out over time as you continue to add new sounds, which helps the loop evolve. You can also use the feedback to create swells and other amplitude modifications to the loop as it's playing. 2) A "replace" feature. Valhalla Delay implements this as adjustable ducking. Whenever you hit the record button, it ducks the exiting loop to some amount, which allows you to modify the loop and helps it evolve. You can get really glitchy loops like this. 3) Option to make the Record button a momentary switch instead of latching. Right now, you hit Record and it stays on 'til you turn it off. A momentary switch would only record while you're holding the sound down. This makes it possible to toggle Record on and off very quickly to make very short clicks of recorded sound. 4) An external insert and return within the feedback path. Augustus Loop does this. It allows you to put any other effects you want within the feedback path to modify the loop as it's going. It opens up a whole world of possibilities for mangling loops and keeping them evolving. I don't know if this is actually possible in iOS AUv3 plugins, but if it is, it'd be killer. I've used lots of different hardware and software loopers and long delays. They all have some combination of the coolest features, but none of them has all the cool features. Gauss could be the first.

[@tonytooke76]

I’m so excited about this. Radiophonic Workshop in your pocket. Wish Delia Derbyshire could see this. Thank you Hainbach & Bram Bos ❤️🎶🔊

[@jonnymoka]

Man you are the most ambient dude in the world. I just melt away into my inner soul when I hear you music. If I had money I would buy your music and loops stuff for my iPhone so I could create just like you. When I was a child I visited a museum in speelklock and it was all over after that. I love sound! Thank you Hainbach

[@Penglens]

Literally bought this 40 seconds into the video. Love it already.

[@CosmosnCarnage]

Bought it before I got 5 minutes in. I was just telling my friends at work that I was on the hunt for something that I can make music on the go and then take it home to the tape recorder. If it had hainbachs stamp of approval then you know it’s gonna be good! Thanks for all you do man! Bless!

[@Multi-Waves_Music]

I believe fl mobile would also fit your fancy

[@littlewingart]

Try out Endlesss (3 S’s) , awesome platform, free app, amazing community you wont regret it.. already jamming there using gorgeous Gauss 🙂

[@BrianKupferschmid]

I had built a 60hp Eurorack case, featuring the Morphagene to do just this very thing, and incorporate it with my ambient guitar rig. I think this app just removed my need for that case. I’m a huge fan of Bram’s work, so this was a no brainer purchase.

[@andrewarcana]

It warms my heart to see Bram Bos still active and successful. Tu2 helped me get started in a lot of ways, and I'm thankful for that software to this day. I kind of miss a lot of features that it had, too.

[@djrug]

Yeah man! Me to. Still like to dig Taureg and moonfish out every so often.

[@antfactor]

I think the iPad/ios is a total gem for music and sound design. Portable, efficient, flexible, etc. Great work!

[@HotStrange]

Hands down the best looper on iOS, and probably my favorite looper in general. Been using it almost every day for a couple of months now haha.

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Loved the video and the live chat Hainbach. Thanks for the shoutout to my tutorial on this. And yes - this is a lovely low price for such a gorgeous app, thanks to both of you!

[@tretere]

Just ... wow. I love to see all those Hainbach apps and vst dropping. One of the better things happening in 2020 😂

[@ModerneArketekt]

I was fine with not owning an iOS device until 5 minutes ago

[@SHINdanny]

still fine, got to learn to skip things in life :D :°( ...I´m strong, nooo iOS in my house

[@Nothingspeshalwaysfresh]

Oh Dannylee , if you only knew how magical audio production was on iOS , you’d be so sad you’ve blackballed it.

[@Andynonymous_music]

its crazy how slept-on IOS is in the world of music production. the touch-screen interface and hardware elements (such as the accelerometer, as seen in this video) allows for a level of creativity in plugin-design that just isn’t possible on traditional computers. and the best part is that these apps rarely cost more than $20 but don’t sacrifice much at all in terms of functionality and sound quality

[@davenik1999]

@HarrisonFord, One of us! One of us! Also, amazing user name😂

[@DollyNipples]

Bram Bos is the creator of brilliant old-school DAWs like Hammerhead, Moonfish, Tuareg/Tu2, and Tuna fish. I hope he makes some awesome tablet versions of those awesome oldies.

[@cuezaireekaa]

well we got hammerhead finally! its so good. but i love the always impending surprise of his "up next" app. always, no matter what it is. but this looper is so special.

[@Tibequidorianglander]

I've been playing with this app for a couple days now and it's so fun!! I am 100% going to be using this for some songs in the future, it is such an organic and fun tool

[@blackknightsatellite3847]

"Inspired by tape and Ciat-Lonbarde Cocoquantus" Ok now I am exited. Can't wait to listen to this.

[@TDRKB]

Haha, I downloaded the app on my iphone whilst watching this video on my Mac Mini and immediately got feedback from the microphone. Hit record and instant ambience! What a winner!

[@Hainbach]

I had a whole segment on feedback music but the iOS music crowd is a little conservative so I cut it from the vid. Second video will happen which explore the stranger side of things.

[@tompoynton]

@@Hainbach Noooo not all of us! The weirder the better!!

[@peacefulpigeon7254]

The feedback is fun but could you give some tips on how to record with an iPhone mic? When monitor is off I can record without feedback. When if I wish to record everdub then feedback is always there? Thanks so much x

[@GoooNakayama]

What a comfortable relaxation music... I'd like to listen these sound all the night !

[@Hainbach]

I have to sit down and mix and master all the tracks I recorded - might do another EP for bandcamp.

Been using this app for the past days. It really grows all the time. Bram has made many great tools. Totally amazing.

[@churlishbeardo]

I just pulled the trigger and bought an iPad, and found Gauss in the app store a few days ago; what a joy! My glorified TV's become my studio away from home.

[@bobbfett.musiclab]

Fantastic tutorial, I use AUM with modular all the time. And fantastic app, thank you

[@Paolo_Pino]

this is one of the first apps I've installed on my brand new iPad Pro, and it's really fun to play with. The only thing I can think it lacks it's a reverb, maybe a plate. I'm a noob in iPadOs apps and I think this can be done chaining another reverb app after Gauss, but if I remember correctly cheap/free good reverb apps are hard to find. By the way I'm really amazed by how you manage to do a billion things in such a short time. You are a source of insipiration not only by the musical composition side, but also from a professional point of view. Thanks to you and Bram Bos for this gem.

[@hettovennik2887]

Search for ‘reverb’ in the App Store, there’s a lot of them. Eventide (not cheapest) are good. I doubted €7 RF-1 but just went for a €8 ‘Audioverb’ by Virsyn. Hoping for the best; I do know Virsyn have been around for a long time on desktop as well

[@Paolo_Pino]

@@hettovennik2887 thanks a lot man! I'll take a look at those 😉

[@ringsystemmusic]

Thankfully I happen to have an iPhone, so I can use this beautifully haunting tool! Using the overdub and degrade is actually my first proper exposure to making music in the tape loop style, it’s uniquely challenging yet easy at the same time.

[@MatthewJohnCrittenden]

Hainbach + Bram? Take my money. Got to complete my Bos collection, all quality and he seems like a jolly fine chap to boot.

[@russianvoodoo]

I’ve just found out last week that Zoom released microphones that are attachable to your iPhone and this changes everything. IQ6 if I’m not mistaken. Wish you could review them too because if they are as good as Zoom H5 or something like this - it changes everything, because it’s makes it easier to record, edit and transfer files.

Foot switch is already enabled - MIDI control for record is accessible in AUM.

Bravo and thanks for such an elegant and great sounding app!

[@DeathTrapProductions]

I've been experimenting with this app today. The Stape speed options and modulation remind me of the morphagene in some ways. This app reminds me of the android app "grainstorm" a good bit too. This is a VERY interesting little app. I would love to record without noise though. I have one of the newer iPhones with the very limited lighting port that only allows a single connection so I'm recording with the headset mic. Not optimal but the noise will probably sound cool when I dump it to the morphagene.

[@Hainbach]

I use an RME Babyface Pro with it if I want high quality

[@peacefulpigeon7254]

Do you have any ideas for a more budget way?

[@DeathTrapProductions]

@@Hainbach Thanks but that won't solve my issue. It looks like I'm going to have to buy an $80 adapter to use my iPhone with any of my other gear.

[@sawtoothwave]

Absolutely fantastic app, thank you Hainbach! I was sold within a minute of starting to watch the video and so psyched to see it was only 6.99. I feel really fortunate to have such a creative tool for such an affordable price. Also pleasantly surprised to find out that the developer made HAMMERHEAD, I think the very first drum machine software I ever used back in... yeesh... 2000? Tiny feature suggestions for the next revision: 1) when the delay is set to "sync", display the musical subdivision it's set to 2) Add an "init" button to clear all the settings out in one click? Larger ideas: 1) Ableton Link (if you're gonna sync, you might as well Link? :D) 2) Background audio / interapp audio somehow? Even without any of these, great app, thank you so much for being part of designing it!

[@Hainbach]
