So, after looking into Tattoo and finally deciding i wanted to get it, I visited their site last night only to discover it's all new, with a focus on harware modules, and some things have disappeared. Like Tattoo.
I know that the synth side of Tattoo was a little limited, but it's randomisation features looked amazing, the best I've seen, with controls for the probability of played notes not playing, and unplayed notes playing, with random pattern generation that would change on each pattern repeat, and these randomisation features were also available for the synth parameters.
This was perfect for me, as i want to do live guitar over rhthym tracks that are not mere loops, but with some life and dynamics, and also the fexibility to switch patterns depending on the mood of my imrovising, which rules out creating long, varied rhythm tracks with sufficient interest. They'd be locked in.
I've noticed AD don't seem too good at answering any questions... I emailed them months ago with no answer. I posted a question about Tattoo on their Facebook page, but I notice that nearly all of the posts by visitors with queries etc remain unanswered, including technical issues.
So, what else is out there with randomisation as good as this? It has to be a Mac AU to work in Logic/Mainstage. I plan to use Mainstage as I can seamlessly incorporate its looper for some guitar stuff. Also, if someone is selling Tattoo i might be interested, but perhaps there will be issues with licence transfers now.
Thanks in advance...
UPDATE!
OK so I just visited their FB page. While my query was unanswered, someone else with the same query got this response...
" It was inadvertently omitted during the recent migration to a new site. It will be back shortly."
Happier now
