Request Features BiasFX iPad
-
I finallly got the guts to try using Bias FX during a church service. I used and IRig HD2 and a BlueBoard to change patches. It really did work just fine and the sound is awesome. There were some issues getting it set up, and as a result, I am back to using a Line6 Pod HD500x and/or a Line6 Stomp HX (great devices, great sound, work with USB to iPad) due to simplicity. If Positive grid could get the folllowing working it would be nice:
-
Store tempo with patches. You can do this on delays by using a ms value. So if you want an 1/8 note at 98 BPM there are plenty of calculators on the web to give you the value. This is a hack and makes setting up patches complicated. Tap tempo is not a great option.
-
Moving/Modifying/Deleting patches to and from different banks just doesn’t seem to exist w/o going to a patch and saving it to a different bank. On the ipad this could be way easier.
-
A real method to backup banks, and patches. The current backup to Dropbox is good, but I can’t restore just stuff I want. And no, putting patches on Tonecloud one by one is really cumbersome.
-
Backup to other clouds like OneDrive, etc...
Positive Grid is on the right path, but any requests I have put in seem to just be blanketed with a form letter saying they received my message. I don’t know if they internallly pick up guitars and try a live setting with their software, but it could help in understanding how people need certain features. I would also recommend that developers use competitive products to really understand what works and what doesn’t.
Until then, the hardware solution like a POD HD500x and Stomp HX works really slick. I do believe once the software is ‘live ready’, I will go that direction because of the flexibility and awesome sound.

Since it is on iOS it should support iCloud, IMHO. Then you could sync desktop and multiple iOS devices from a single collection of presets.
