Gadget looks pretty cool, but I'm eyeing up "beatmaker3". Anybody tried it? Looks pretty cool but I haven't messed with any of the DAW type apps besides GarageBand, and it seems beatmaker is on sale right now. I'm mostly interested in beatmakers sampling and stretching, do other apps support that, either a DAW or some app that can be routed with audiobus?

Anyone have experience with the paid gadgets? Are they worth the cost? I'm considering picking up Bilbao and Abu Dhabi, maybe even Kamata (demo I watched made it seem like much more than just a chip emu) while they are on sale.

On that subject, are there any other must-haves besides Gadget? I have a handful of the Korg apps already, but these are the ones I'm specifically considering: -iWAVESTATION -ARP ODESSEi -Module -iM1 I mostly know what these sound like (though I'm less familiar with Module & M1) so I'm curious if any of them really do interesting/useful things that may not be apparent from videos.

Module is full on. Modular synthesis can get complicated and confusing quickly. I got wavestation and it owns, really fun and I use it in gadget

Idk I'm tired). The M1 was used ALL OVER popular and commercial music in the late 80s and 90s (the Seinfeld theme was played on an M1 with the 'slap bass' patch) and the app is a super faithful port- it even supports loading actual M1 patches. It's really super powerful, esp when you consider what a real M1 costs. I don't have Module or Wavestation yet but they're on my radar. Are you specifically looking at Korg apps, or are you interested in anything else? I'd say that all of the Moog apps are pretty much "must buy" too.

I'm definitely planning to grab Model 15 (already have Animoog and Filtatron), but I'll probably wait til it's half-off again.

If you don't have a routing app or a way to easily export/clip yet I'd grab Audiobus and probably AudioShare too. Do you have a keyboard/controller? There are tons of ways to go: wired or wireless, portable or full-size, adaptor-based or purpose-built. You can buy a dongle to make your midi/USB keyboard Bluetooth compatible. As great as multitouch is, you hit the limitations pretty quickly. trilobite terror fucked around with this message at 06:04 on Jul 24, 2017 |

Makes the value of clean/restored ones skyrocket.

You can buy a dongle to make your midi/USB keyboard Bluetooth compatible. As great as multitouch is, you hit the limitations pretty quickly. Hijacking this. I'm in the market for 2 items: a) Super portable wireless MIDI keyboard. I already have a full size 49 key controller for my desktop, so this is exclusively for travel/bed use. Trying to bang out progressions and melodies using the onscreen keyboards (especially Thor's) is the one thing I can't stand about iOS production. I'm leaning toward the Korg microKEY Air-25. b) A portable audio interface with the following features:
Any recommendations for either of these items? The OP is pretty out of date. I have seen some negative reviews for some of the iRig products claiming there are audio quality issues when running on battery power.

dongles that can split the headphone jack to accomplish this (albeit in mono) with some DJ apps
|
Been looking into other options. Sounds like I could just get the studiomux app to handle sending audio/MIDI between Ableton and the iPad. No need to get an audio interface for the iPad just for that.

I have all the optional Gadget stuff and have for a while. I would say the Arp Odyssey sounds incredible, and the Wavestation is super fun. It's mostly just a taste thing. I haven't experienced any "hidden features" so to speak. The Arp Odyssey has some cool sort-of arpeggiated stock sounds on their own. And you can do a lot of really interesting stacking with the Wavestation. Between those two you have a lot of versatility. The iM1 has a higher learning curve but if you're willing to read manuals it's really powerful in its own right. Module sounds gorgeous for classical piano sounds, particularly on an app, but I've literally never ended up using them with my style. Bilbao and Abu Dhabi I bought right when I got Gadget and I don't think I'd like it nearly as much without them. Bilbao especially. Importing your own samples and being able to treat them with the effects in app has been awesome. I have really only used Abu Dhabi for a couple things but it's so intuitive and relatively powerful I would say it is worth it. Kamata has a fairly diverse range of sounds for what it is, though I haven't found a lot of use for it in my own personal projects. I can see how someone could get a lot out of it though. All are good deals with the current sale. JNCO BILOBA fucked around with this message at 17:17 on Aug 11, 2017 |

I'm looking for an app that would let me easily chop up a sample and use the parts in a drum machine/sequencer. The simpler the better. Anyone have a good suggestion? I haven't kept up with iOS music apps in a while.

Anyone play with the new Korg synth they just dropped? I like it but am poor. I'm also glad they fixed the count-in in Gadget.
