  • The excessive latency only applies to Bluetooth audio. Bluetooth MIDI (BLE MIDI) has very little latency. Most people don't have any problem with it unless they're pretty sensitive to latency. BLE Midi is generally less than 1ms added latency, whereas Bluetooth Audio is hundreds of times higher.
  • If you already own NS1 then you can still find it in your purchased items in the App Store - if you have an old device with a compatible iOS version. There's no other way to get it on iOS / iPadOS. There are Windows and MacOS versions available, but I think you have to have a pretty old MacOS version to be able to run that…
  • @NitoINC, Hopefully you'll never be mistreated here. However, as @SlapHappy says, it's pretty quiet here. Still, you should get answers for any NS2 related questions. There are people here who check to see if any questions or problems come up. Another (almost always) friendly place is the Audiobus Forum. Unless you,…
  • You can probably do what you want with the free Streambyter app. Basically, you run it standalone outside of NS2 and it just sits there giving you something to send midi out of and back into NS2. Check this Wiki article for a similar use case that you may be able to adapt to your usage. If not, or you need help, describe…
  • You should be able to see the files in two places. * Going to Settings > Manage MIDI Files * In the song screen, tap the icon that looks like a piece of paper at the top of the tracks list.
  • NS2's sustain pedal treatment isn't completely standard. Sustain is handled by the DAW rather than being passed through to plugins for them to handle it. I think this is related to what you're seeing. This post explains it much better than I can:…
  • As a 32 bit app, NS1 can only run on devices with iOS 10 or earlier. Sorry, but there's no way around that. However, if you have an windows PC or old Mac, you can download it and try to run it there. I was unsuccessful running NS1 on MacBook Pro with macOS Monterey. Same problem, no 32-bit app support. According to this…
  • It might be worth checking if Hanon B70 shows up in GarageBand and/or Logic on the Mac.
  • Right where I said it was.

  • Some plugins don't report their presets properly, so the host can't list them. You'll find that other hosts don't list those presets either. The only solution is to use DrumComputer's internal preset browser instead.
  • Playing the sample is as easy as hitting the Root note, which defaults to C3 but can be changed. If the recording is set to Loop (the default), it'll repeat for as long as the note is held down. So you can place a pattern with that note in the timeline. The biggest drawback is the sample won't sound unless the playhead…

  • Pick an Oscillator, change its type to Sample, then hit the Rec Sample button that you'll now see.

  • I've used it a few times. It's OK but to me is more trouble than it's worth. You can't record directly into it from audio inputs, so you have to record in standalone and import. And, you don't see the audio in the timeline which is inconvenient. (You can create empty dummy tracks to mark audio positions but ...) To me…

  • Another way to use vocal or other audio samples in NS2 is with a plugin such as Loopy Pro or 4Pockets Multitrack Recorder. Not a great option though. You can't record directly to them in NS2, you have to import to them after recording to them standalone.

  • Huh? You can record voice to both Slate and Obsidian. Is what you really mean that it should have a way to record audio to the timeline? If so ... sorry, not gonna happen. NS2 isn't getting feature updates any more.

  • I'm glad to hear that. I was hoping it would be there. Virtually always when apps completely disappear even from purchased items it's because the developer has let their account lapse. I kinda figured Apple was keeping up with their account. 😂 No need to thank Apple. They didn't have to do a thing to keep it there.
  • I hope it works out for ya. 👍🏼 Even if it doesn't, iMazing is a great way to minimize the chance of losing apps that disappear from the App Store. If you have a backup already, you can restore the .ipa even if the app is gone from the App Store and your device. Hey @SlapHappy - did you check for Alchemy by regular search…
  • Maybe try backing up Alchemy from the iPad Air to a Mac or PC using iMazing (the free version is enough for this). If you're able to do that then you may be able to restore that "apk" to the Pro.
  • Looks to me like you’re logged into the App Store under a different Apple ID than you were when you purchased NanoStudio 2. Are you using the app with Family Sharing? I don’t think NS2 IAPs can be used across Family Sharing accounts.
  • You might get more responses if you post over on the Audiobus Forum. There's lots of activity there, and plenty of NS2 users. (fwiw, I've not heard anyone over there mentioning problems with NS2 on iOS 16)
  • It's pretty simple for me. iOS is for creating and desktop is for final arranging, mixing, and mastering. Since sometime around 2003 I go completely blank creatively the moment I sit down at a desktop computer. Probably because I used to spend 10-12 hours a day trying to make the damn things do what they're supposed to do…
  • I think you’ll need to archive the projects to be sure they contain all the files. Hopefully someone more familiar with NS2 can provide guidance.
  • You don't need Streambyter to play an AUv3 instrument in NS2. If you care to post links to those videos maybe we can understand better what is leading to this the issue you're seeing.
  • You can't. But using the iOS files app you can copy the files to the drive.
  • I think you're getting confused over AUv3 instruments vs. AUv3 Midi FX. You don't need Streambyter at all for an AUv3 instrument. @SlapHappy has explained adding AUv3 instruments, so hopefully that clarifies it for you. But to expand on that a little - there are three basic kinds of AUv3 plugins. * AUv3 instruments can be…
  • There's no defined convention for octave naming in the MIDI specification. One app or hardware may call note 36 or 48 any octave they like, but it the difference is usually only an octave or two. It's just one of those things that you have to get used to with MIDI. It's been that way since 1983.
  • Just FYI... Apple has taken 15% commission, not 1/3 (30%) for some years now. Only developers that sell more than $1,000,000 per year fall into the 30% bracket. I believe Korg could be in this range, but I doubt there is even one other music app developer in that boat. As for developers getting more money for their work, I…
  • Which iOS hardware you use a plugin on should have no bearing on whether it will work or not. You could start by naming the plugin. If no one here owns it, then you might want to ask over on the Audiobus Forum - there are a lot more visitors over there.
  • As for recording, try setting the swing to 1/8 rather than 1/16 to see if you notice more difference. With 1/16 swing, nothing hitting right on the 16th note gets quantized.
  • You're in the wrong place. You need to go to Actions > Quantize and use the swing slider there to apply swing to already placed notes. The Grid settings in your screenshot only adjust the grid lines for placing notes. Look closely and you'll see the grid lines moving. I hope that helps.
