And control your entire setup from a MIDI controller.

Egoist and Thesys Ableton Link support :)
As above. Update just arrived.
Some very cool additional stuff in Egoist too. Now polyrythmic with independent clock dividers.
Comments
Lovely stuff!
Finally! Yee haw...
And the Egoist updates outside of Link are really really nice.
Yeah, thx Sugar Bytes
Batman very happy. Batman only sorry he cannot spend all day on the fiddle.
Here's a demo of the desktop Egoist version new features but it all applies to the ipad too (not sure about the new samples though in the vid)
They've been listening too and added a feature I was bugging them about. Now you can slice into 16 even subdivisions (other subdivisions would have been handy too but thanks anyway SB
Thanks Mister C. I'm happy about the 16 split slice....(even more so about Linky...)
Great new. Thanks for the heads-up.
=D =D =D =D F*** YEAH! Thesys is finally amazeballs! =D =D =D =D
oh happy day!
The monophonic/polyphonic switch really opens up many possibilities with Egoist.
Great updates. Only disappointing thing is no AB3 update. They work ok but sometimes have issues reloading into the slot, iAA buzz error etc
Superb - learnt a few things from the vid too. Looking forward to mucking about with this tonight
Wow seems to have had an update, and I see it has link now - doesn't list it in the update, so maybe it had it before.
Boom!
LInk is always awesome, was getting tired of syncing via AUM and having iaa issues, but ohman, loving clock dividers and flexible pattern lengths, finaly, the cuffs are off! Goes awesome with Future Drummer, so much funk.
I hope they fix Effectrix to trigger plaback in AB. All in all sweet sweet!
Just had a play with Egoist - picked up a few tips from that vid above - what a lovely thing. I've not been using it to its full potential it seems....time for more...
Thanks... finally
Hi. Question. I bought my first sugarbytes app effectrix a couple weeks. I must say i like it, A LOT. I've been eying up Egoist, but they seem to share some similarities. I was wondering if someone could tell me what different or added features egoist has, aside from the built in bass and drums. I'm trying to determine if it'd be a reduntant purchase. Also, about the known issue regarding effectrix not playing inside AB. Does egoist have the same issue, as to having to use the AB AUM work around?
And regarding this part of the egoist description:

Curious if said keyboard can be played by an external keyboard? If so, is it recordable into the egoist sequencer?
Egoist is fantastic and almost at a DAW level of functionality in it's own right. Lots of unique functionality that provides a huge amount of utility, creativity and enjoyment.
The sample slicer/sequencer is the main thing. With this, the drums and bass (you can trigger external synths via MIDI with the bass channel), its like a self contained mini DAW. I love it, always have.
You kids with your damn, you know, eyes....
Yes it's a groove machine on steroids and acid in a box. And they've knocked down a couple of my quibbles with the latest updates and a major beef (Link). If I could get a variability algorithm going in Egoist, I might not leave the house.
this is really awesome
Always one of my favorites, despite my having never used anything from it in a final production. It's results, though very fun, can be kinda "same same" no matter what you throw at it, but that all may change now. Looking forward to finding out.
Are you talking about E or T?
Egoist. Thesys isn't even on my radar these days— maybe if it gets the full AB3 midi treatment it'll find it's way back.
Thesys is brilliant with link. You're missing out
Looking forward to giving the Thesys update a workout later, if my eyes are still up to the challenge.
You can zoom anywhere in the app with a double tap. Just make the zoom bigger in settings.
Yeah, I find that quite distracting though, as I do their MIDI learn option which keeps popping up. I wish they'd just make a better UI for mobile devices.
