Jazz+ Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 VB3m is an organ app for iPad or iPhone by GSI. Is it as full-sounding or thinner than the Mojo 61?

ElmerJFudd Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 ***It is based on v1.4 rather than v2*** Code is the same - compiled for iOS or for Windows/Mac OS. He definitely would have had to work on the graphics to get the user interface functional on iOS. Is the DA conversion different on an iPad vs. his silicon in the Mojo? Yes. Is it recognizable in A/B testing. Probably a bit from laptop, to desktop, to iPad, to Mojo. Could you pick out which is which? Probably not, but maybe. You can also use any number of audio interfaces for iPad to compare as well. Latency on a modern iPad should be negligible to you as well. You have a fairly recent model?

ElmerJFudd Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 VB3m based in VB3-1.4 engine, Mojo 61 is VB3-II That"s fairly lame, but not unexpected. I am guessing he dreamed this up as a way to avoid cannibalizing sales of Mojo, Mojo Desktop and Gemini hardware. VB3m is $13.99 and Apple takes 30%. But VB3II is available for Mac/Win however for $147 USD. Not sure if PayPal takes a cut - I assume so for a business account.

To B3 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 That makes sense, but I guess the main reason is to make it available and running in basically ANY device. Kudos to them for that and to make it VERY afordable. Even if it is VB3 1.4, that´s still a first tier clonewheel sound, isn´t it? Now, gimme the Seven in the same format LOL.

ElmerJFudd Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Looking ahead, I hear we are expecting Pianoteq on iOS at some point, surely the M1 iPad Pro can run it. It will be disappointing if they feel they need to offer it at a low price and water it down or limit it. Maybe not though, since they can continue to sell their models through IAP.

AnotherScott Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 I am guessing he dreamed this up as a way to avoid cannibalizing sales of Mojo, Mojo Desktop and Gemini hardware and/or the lesser hardware/OS demands were such that this is part of what allowed him to offer it on a wide variety of mobile devices. Either way, though, it makes sense. Apple takes 30% Probably 15% now, unless he sells over a million bucks' worth... https://www.theverge.com/2020/11/18/21572302/apple-app-store-small-business-program-commission-cut-15-percent-reduction Not sure if PayPal takes a cut - I assume so for a business account. they're just payment processing, so it's relatively cheap, maybe around 5% allowing even for international currency conversion fees.

ElmerJFudd Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 As he A/Bs in this video, it does not sound like he has matched up the draw bar settings, click, drive and Leslie settings. Now that may be because VB3m does not have all the same parameters available and the 1.4 and II engine may be significantly different.

Baldwin Funster Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Yes, and no leslie speed or ramp up/down editability The fixed speed isnt terrible but the fixed ramp up is way too fast. It needs to be adjusted or made adjustable. Even just a little bit. Quote FunMachine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aynsley Green Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 VB3 does sound impressive, but I think it misses the point somewhat - due to the lack of controls (and MIDI Learning onto a plasticky China-made controller is not the same thing).
