Skipback AUv3 vs Baethoven 2

Skipback AUv3 implements a tool sometimes referred to as retrospective recording, or retroactive recording or capture MIDI, used by musicians, producers, and sound designers on more expensive electronic instruments. It continuously keeps your most recent audio and MIDI performance in memory, so you can recover a great idea - even if you forgot to press Record. Add the Skipback Audio Unit extension to a track in a compatible AUv3 host, or use it to record the microphone in the standalone app, then play as usual. Audio passes through unchanged while Skipback maintains a rolling history of everything routed through it. When inspiration strikes, simply export what you just played. FEATURES • Retrospective audio and MIDI capture • Transparent audio pass-through • Selectable audio history: 10 seconds, 30 seconds, or 1 minute • Selectable MIDI history: 100, 1,000, or 5,000 notes • Export audio as 24-bit WAV • Export MIDI as a Standard MIDI File • Tap to save using the system share interface • Drag exported files directly into supported hosts (Koala Sampler, Helium in AUM, Cubasis, etc.) • Input level meter for monitoring audio • MIDI activity indicator • Compact interface designed to stay out of your way Skipback stores its rolling history in memory and only creates a file when you choose to export. Whether you are improvising, designing sounds, rehearsing a part, or experimenting with a new instrument, Skipback helps preserve the moments you did not know you wanted to record. Never lose a great take because you forgot to press Record. Requires a compatible Audio Unit v3 host. Host capabilities and drag-and-drop support may vary.

Baethoven 2 turns any sound into a playable melodic or chord kit, then hands that kit to your Akai MPC. You don't need to play keys: pick a key, pick a sound, and every pad is already in tune and in scale. Built by a producer, for producers. 8 BANKS, 16 PADS EACH Every bank is SCALES, CHORDS, DRUMS or CUSTOM, with its own sound, octave, tuning, volume and POLY / MONO. One good note fills a whole melodic bank, pitched across all 16 pads. Change the key and every bank follows instantly. CHORDS THAT BELONG TOGETHER Diatonic or fixed chord sets in any key. Set the SIZE (triad to 13th) and VOICE (inversions, drop 2, open). NEXT suggests what usually follows the chord you just played, EDIT lets you pick or BUILD any chord, and RANDOM deals a fresh set in the same key. STRUM rolls the notes UP, DOWN, IN or OUT, and HUMAN loosens them so they play like a hand. PRESETS, FX AND EXPRESSION PRESETS fill all eight banks at once in your key. An FX rack with EQ, COMP, DRIVE, TAPE and REVERB, with GAIN MATCH so every effect stays as loud as it went in. EXPR adds vibrato, bend-in, fall, glide, MORPH between chords, pressure, timbre and drift, plus MPE on MIDI Output. SHAPE EVERY SAMPLE Trim with zero-crossing snap, loop with a crossfade, and set A·D·S·R. NOTE ON and LOOP pads sustain for as long as you hold them. EXPORT TO YOUR MPC Save a complete MPC project (an .xpj with a WAV per pad, already tuned), an MPC 3 program (.xpm), your pads added straight into an MPC Sample project, or your chord banks as MPC progressions. Save to Files, iCloud Drive, or straight onto a USB drive or SD card. THE BAETHOVEN AUv3 Play Baethoven inside GarageBand, AUM, Cubasis, Logic Pro for iPad and any app that hosts Audio Units. MIDI IN AND OUT Play the pads from a MIDI keyboard or pad controller. MIDI Output sends your chords, strums and expression to another synth, app or computer, over USB or Wi-Fi, with an X/Y joystick and 64 knobs.
