TF8 arp update plus more
Really nice update for TF8. Thank you to the developer for listening to forum feature requests! You can now perfect your arp and then scroll through the sounds and morph to your heart's content without losing the arp. Amongst other tasty update treats. Awesome.

Hadn't paid attention to this one, thought it was iPad only but it's universal! Will check it out. What makes this one stand out for you guys?
@MusicMan4Christ
It sounds great! Universal. Well connected. @Cib loves the reverb! Reverse delay. Tube distortion. Cool arp. Randomisation. Oh and assignable XY pad morphing
Love this synth!
Oh fantastic news! I always loved the sound (whammy!) but hated losing important settings. Will most certainly use it more now.
edit: WTF, totally vanished from Canadian store... hope it returns...
edit2: oh, I was confusing this with TF7, what the heck is TF8? Only show up as iphone app... interesting!
The new options are awesome! Would be nice if they're settings persisted across sessions, but it ain't no thing.
It's a little bit of a thing. The Ice Works apps allow you to independently save your arp settings, allowing you to audition various sounds within them....
Tf8 does that now too with this update. I meant when you close the app, those choice of settings are saved.
Bought this the other day and it's fantastic!
Is it really only portrait? Will the update to Landscapr cost more?
Ok got it! Really nice Synth really having fun right now with this one!
Where can you enable Link?
Config > Link tab at top
Had a chance to search back through an old thread to find the developer.
Thanks for the update @Lppier
Thanks!!! Had some apps playing and being triggered by KRFT wow what an awesome combo!!! The tweaking and saving of presets is soooo easy on this little beast!!! So grateful to the dev @Lppier for allowing to use before buy. Going on the metro train and playing this baby on one hand sold it to me too!
Would love to see the iPad UI get some love though any updates from the dev reg iPad UI?
Minor bug to report - if I switch the polyphony setting from Poly to Mono in any patch, the Mono setting remains persistent across all patches (even if I switch the toggle back to Poly) and Poly mode only becomes accessible again if I close the app, reopen it, and switch back to Poly.
It doesn't do it on mine. iPhone SE latest.
Might wanna check config then tap Other tab and check those settings.
Edit: actually does happen on the iPhone also
but good gong the developer is fixing.
Hi @JonLewis , indeed it is a blooper on my part. Undesirable side effect from the various fixes - it has been fixed. Pending update at the App Store.
Thanks for pointing it out.
Definitely a iPad version is in the works, no worries
Again, thanks to everybody for the love and support.
Hurray thank you!
I've been all about TF8 this week, it's such a joy as a 'performing' synth.
Oh oh! I forgot a request I had. Currently, the Vibrato, Full Tone, and Whammy modes 'snap back' quickly to the original pitch when your finger leaves the glass, the same way a pitch bend wheel would snap back on release. Any chance we could have an option that would work the way the 'pitch bend' mode in Garageband's ios keyboard works (say you glide your finger up a fifth and then release -- the bent pitch dies off at the elevated pitch without snapping back, and the next key you hit is played at normal pitch). I am fond of a sort of drooping off downward flick at the end of solo phrases and it doesn't come off right when there's a perceptible 'snap back' on release.
I'm really enjoying this amazing app! It's one of those apps that once you get the arp going, and mess with the little track pad, oh boy, it can just play on forever!
Thanks for updating it and the plans to update to landscape on the iPad.
Also, I did notice that the Config settings in the "Other" tab do get reset when one closes the app. Once restarted, i confirmed that the settings didn't get saved. Please see the attached screenshot:
Yes @MusicMan4Christ I guess it would be a good idea to have the settings persistent across app launches.
I'll save this for the next update!
This is my biggest request, and I'm sure everyone who is a serious IOS musician:
Would it be too much to ask if you could give TF8 the AUx treatment?
I find myself wishing soooo much that this was an AU instrument. Seriously, this would take your amazing synth over the top!!! Even if you would raise the price to make up for the added development, it is still worth every cent paid!!!
I am really enjoying this app, along with DRC which together and KRFT all are making me a synth nut! I'm a guitar player, but these synths, and yours specially now, are really inspiring me to make music.
AU please?
@Lppier
Yum, a landscape iPad version would be great, I do love TF7! An AU app of some sort for Cubasis would be lovely too.
the thing with the AU idea is that I just love TF8's playing surface so much, and that would not necessarily be reproduced by a host app...
Yes a thousand times on Landscape....
I'd really love to have several instances of this app in AB3, AUM or Cubasis. I think that and landscape on iPad are my two main wishes
TF8 update up! Poly issue fixed.
Now AU? Doesn't hurt to ask
Thanks so much @Lppier
Guys remember to update your AppStore review as this is what helps developers.
@Lppier updates have been great thank you. If you find the time to do a bit of pure polish, the cursor on the xy pad gets stuck on the borders of the pad when moving around, basically it won't slide on the borders/extreme values, can only be placed there.
This one will be in the next update, I didn't forget.
Definitely AU is something I want to do @MusicMan4Christ .
I'm glad to hear that you're having fun with the app.
Thanks @MusicMan4Christ ! It really makes a difference.
Thanks so much! This app is soooo much fun! There's so much under the hood and so easily tweaked with a single hand on my iPhone SE!
