  • @Axel Fourth, on the current loop position ambiguity: I also want to say that I agree: the lack of current beat position, within a playing loop, is a problem. I have plans to re-do large portions of the UI. One of them is to improve the beat dis…
  • Hey @crifytosp, I think I know where you are headed... An averaging function based on more than just two taps? I think I could add an optional switch for that. One thing that isn't clear is what would happen if Everest needed 3+ taps, but only go…
  • Third, beat length: You are totally 100% right. It's actually a relief to hear someone else make the same observation as me! It is seemingly impossible to determine, in any musical way, what the tempo should be from an arbitrary sample length/rec…
  • Hey @Axel, First off, thanks for all this feedback and insight. This is great stuff! Second, let me address your experience with monitoring: Yes, Audiobus is routing the audio to your hardware output in parallel to Everest. in my implementation…
  • @edouardpapazian - I just released version 1.0.3, let me know if the blueboard works for you. Everest should show up as a MIDI destination, when it is open. I am anxious to hear if it works or not. Thanks!
  • @edouardpapazian, Sorry about the blueboard trouble. I don't have one to test, and was hoping it would just work. I did not know that BB only sends CC or PC, that is a shame. I do have some good news though: 1) The next version of Everest (1.0.…
  • Right now Everest does have a few press-and-hold functions. Using MIDI notes, Overdub and Replace are press and hold. Record does erase the loop/loop history when you press and hold it using the button and MIDI notes. I want more than that though…
  • @thinds I will definitely work on this, possibly even for this release. I have to find the balance between it being too distracting and clear. @crifytosp Yeah, the lack of feedback for feedback (heh) is definitely a problem. I have a few UI idea…
  • If I understand you correctly, you want the waveform to draw on every pass of the loop. That could work for many of the modes. There are some complications though: One complication is performance. To keep Everest at 60 FPS I have to be conservat…
  • Great news! I will definitely test it before I release the new version. Thanks!
  • @crifytosp I was just reading about Flux FX. Seems like an amazing companion app to Everest. Do you know if syncs to Garage Band's tempo? Does it listen for MIDI sync?
  • Yeah, Funkbox works great, as does TriqTraq. In the new version of Everest (forthcoming) I also got EchoPad and Effectrix to work/sync in the effects slot. The latter did seem to require new hardware/OS, which was confusing, but it does sound grea…
  • You are welcome, and thanks for the support. I hope the Audiobus implementation is up to par. I tried to make it as flexible and usable as possible, especially in the Receiver Port.
  • Hi Michael, welcome! Everest does indeed respond to MIDI messages from MIDI keyboards. In fact, that is how I originally intended it to be used. The MIDI specification is detailed in two places: Inside the app under Settings/MIDI/Documentation, a…
  • Thanks! I just updated the doc with more details on many of the features. I also added a quick rundown of my thoughts about the difficulty of each item. It is probably easy for people to infer the timing of each one, though I as I prototype and…
  • I haven't posted music in a loooooong time. Too long in fact! I have been working on the app these past few months so much (in my spare time) that I have completely stopped writing new music. I do have an old album somewhere I made with a frie…
  • Thanks! That is very encouraging! Expect more videos in the near future. :)
  • I noticed a lot of people are reading this thread. I just started another thread with a link to a spreadsheet detailing the features I have planned for Everest. Here is that thread: http://glowgraph.com/forum/discussion/4/everest-roadmap
  • In terms of pasting audio files: There is no time-stretching in Everest. So if you paste a WAV file, and it isn't the precise length, it won't necessarily sync to the master beat. That said, doing a multiply on the loop, with quantization enabled…
  • About the update: This update is only for Inter-App Audio. When released, Everest can host and sample/record a 2nd Generator app. This will allow users to mix new loops with the 2nd app, as well as loop audio from the 2nd app, and everything in-b…
  • The undo history also deserves its own video tutorial, though I will try and explain some of it here: As of 1.0, the following create new entries in the Undo History: -When you Record a new loop. -When you do something that changes the fundamental …
  • Small Update: I implemented and tested the sampling of hosted Generator apps! It is working very well. It also still allows sampling of the audio input (from the mic, headset, USB, etc.). This re-routing of audio will be available in the next re…
  • Sorry for the delay, I have been making videos and adding features. :) Everest' Multiply does overdubbing and growing of loop length at the same time. I need to make a video tutorial just dedicated to this function. I think it is one of the most…
  • Thanks! I am glad you like it. When I submitted the app a week or two ago, I never imagined that any one would be using it so fast, let alone on the other side of the Atlantic. :D
