Ratings and Reviews
Awesome Tone!
Blown away from the tone quality. Had never expected such a great sound. My new prestige Ibanez sounds like hell....
Klangqualität der Effekte enttäuschend
Ich kann die (scheinbare?) totale Begeisterung für die Positive Grid Produkte leider überhaupt nicht nachvollziehen!
Fazit:
Eigentlich eine super App! Die Klangqualität der Effekte ist aber (ziemlich) enttäuschend...Dazu kommt die relativ hohe Latenz (was wohl ehr an Apple / IPad Pro / iOS 11 liegt??!) so dass Bias FX+ iPad Pro fürs ernsthafte Musikmachen / als Ersatz für ein „richtiges Multi FX“ wohl eher nicht in Frage kommt (leider!)
Das Interface ist super! Es gibt wenig was ich da verbessern würde...Die Amps regieren feinfühlig auf das Spiel mit dem Volumenpoti an der Gitarre. Wichtig ist aber dass man das Instrument korrekt einpegelt. Auf die Spieldynamik reagieren die Amps allerdings nicht sonderlich stark.
Es gibt zwei ganz grosse Mankos bei dieser App:
1) Leider ist die minimale Latenz ziemlich hoch (> 18ms gemessen! was eigentlich voll der Dealbreaker ist!) Eingesetzt wurde ein Apogee Jam 96k, iPad Pro 10.5(!), iOS 11, Headphone Out.
Ev. erreichen andere mit einem anderen Interface bessere Werte...und Positiv Grid trifft hier wohl nicht die Schuld... Aber eben > eigentlich voll der Dealbreaker.
2) Die Klangqualität der Effekte ist...teils ziemlich bescheiden. Ich hatte mal ein (günstiges) Digitech RP355 MultiFX, da war die Klangqualität der Effekte durchs Band deutlich besser! Und eigentlich habe ich überhaupt keine hohen Ansprüche...
Whammy, Octave Pedal etc. ist eigentlich unbrauchbar (+ hohe Latenz). Es wäre bei vielen Effekten von Vorteil, wenn man diese in der Lautstärke anpassen könnte...dies ist jedoch nicht möglich. Auch reagieren einige Effekte/Parameter irgendwie komisch... und machen nicht das was man womöglich erwarten würde.
Ich habe trotz allem zwei Expansion Packs gekauft. Die zusätzlichen Effekte (z.B für Bass) waren meistens schlechter als das was in der Grundausstattung schon dabei ist.
Developer Response ,
Hi, thank you so much for the feedback. Please write us on https://help.positivegrid.com/hc/en-us/requests/new and tell us more of your thoughts. Thank you.
Ok but needs more polishing
- no midi control for volume. My expression pedal is retired.
- changing preset is sluggish.
