I'd be okay with the price if they made more stuff for iphone sized screens.

ReBirth for iPad was updated today with MIDI & WIST sync, as well as a "Duo" mode, that splits up the four instruments, so that you can jam with another person on one iPad. It's also on sale, as well as the rest of the Korg stuff.

question: is FunkBox better than DM1 or functionally equivalent (apart from being audiobus-capable)?

You can't program custom rhythms into FunkBox. It's like one of those early Roland drum machines that only has "Disco, Funk, Funk2" etc... presets. DM-1 is more flexible.

Funkbox does let you program rhythms and load custom samples. The older versions didn't.

After examining funkbox a bit I'd say it has a worse interface but a bit more capable with MIDI. the clock sync works well and you can use a separate step sequencer to program a bassline, which can send itself to any MIDI-capable synth. The pitch tweaking of custom samples is a bit bugged though, I often find the samples to be pitched way too low when I tweaked them to be only a little lower than usual. does Multitrack DAW have side-chain compression? I see that it has a compressor but there are several apps that have compressors but only two with side-chaining (SunVox and BeatMaker 2). I suppose I could wait for BM2 but there's no indication when it'll get updated for audiobus. edit: according to a video I watched that was posted yesterday BM2 should have audiobus support soon. video showed BM2 taking input from sunrizer and funkbox on 2 separate channels, sidechaining should be totally doable. sea of losers fucked around with this message at 00:01 on Dec 17, 2012 |

Korg just updated all their apps, including Audiobus and various other cool features: http://www.sonicstate.com/news/2012/12/20/korg-updates-entire-line-of-ios-apps/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook Animoog also got updated with Audiobus, AudioCopy/Paste and more. And last but not least, iMPC was released by Akai/Retronyms and for the introductory price of $6.99 it's pretty nice standalone. I've got to update the OP sometime soon.

Symphony Pro apparently wasn't working under iOS 6; the guy developing it promised an update in October which I guess didn't happen. The only game in town I'm aware of is Symphonix Evolution which is... eh. The UI is pretty drat klunky (as in don't expect to do much in the first couple weeks) but it will get the job done. PDF output from it can look a bit wonky for 16th notes. If you have a Mac, Garageband does a much better job.

Read some good news regarding the lightning to 30 pin adapter and ios midi adapters: Midi Designer tested a few and they all passed. http://mididesigner.com/hardware-connections-and-new-lightning-connector/ IK Multimedia states that their midi adapter will work with the lightning to 30 pin. http://www.ikmultimedia.com/news/?start=30&ipp=10&item_id=1595 And there are some users on the gearslutz forums claiming success with the lightning to usb adapter, amongst other things. http://www.gearslutz.com/board/music-computers/782211-working-new-ipad-lightning-connector.html I think I'll buy one and try it out in the next couple of weeks or sooner. I'd hate to see my irig midi be rendered useless. I am worried about latency though, but I'll report back to everyone when I'm finished testing.

Yeah turns out Paul's Extreme Sound Stretch is GPLed, so if that's what Sound Epic was using, it probably got removed for license issues. I'd love to have Paul Stretch for iOS but I'm not sure what the current policies are for GPLed software in the App Store. BeatMaker 2's time stretching is the highest quality I've heard on iOS. Hokusai uses the latest version of DIRAC LE and it's not as good as whatever BM2 is using, surprisingly.

More specifically I was wondering how it compares to Symphony Pro in terms of usability and stability. However, it looks like Symphony Pro is having a lot of stability issues and a lot of users are angry that it hasn't been updated since April so it's usability is a moot point until it's fixed. I'm going to go with Notion.

I've watched the demo videos for both iDensity and iPulsaret, and still can't ascertain the differences between them other than the keyboard playing ability in iPulsaret. Am I missing something obvious? Should I get one or the other, or do they basically compliment each other?

Thanks for making me spend money, jeez. I've been wanting to do this for so long, and since I don't have a proper Linux box setup currently, this will fill the void. Awesome sounds and control, including a really awesome way to learn.

GlitchMachine operates on a similar theme to that app.. writing equations to make noise. It's functionally equivalent, costs the same, but has more of a low bitrate feeling to the sounds it makes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_GqiL6zLiw

xzzy posted:GlitchMachine operates on a similar theme to that app.. writing equations to make noise. Yup, saw that. I went with BitWiz over it because BitWiz has a nicer interface (IMO) and, as you insinuated, BitWiz is capable of making sounds that don't just straight up sound like typical chiptune stuff. I'm really getting into all of the granular synthesis apps for iOS lately. I've been using Grain Science ever since it came out a year ago, and I bought both iDensity and iPulsaret the other night (they're basically the same thing, but the difference in interacting with your samples makes them compliment each other pretty well). I've always been fascinated with taking audio samples from strange sources and random little bits of audio and warping them into totally new sounds. All of these iOS apps make granular synthesis really accessible. I'm beginning to see why so many musicians who use granular synthesis tend to compose ambient and experimental techno, though. Most of the audio I end up with sounds like it belongs on either a horror movie soundtrack or as sound effects for a sci-fi movie.

 iPad as a convenient portable second screen working (with Ableton in this case) with the Splashtop 2 Remote Desktop app and Windows 8. Very little lag, can easily control a knob or fader by the touchpad but I think it's most useful just as a reference. If only it responded to multiple touch spots at once.

I've very slowly been seeing the value of iDevices for music, and in fact picked up a new iPod touch a few weeks ago just so I could check out iMaschine and Steinberg's Cubase remote app. I was out of town all last week, and iMaschine was a godsend. Instead of using the voice recorder to dictate track ideas like I normally do, I just hammered them out on the iPod, and now that I'm back home I've got the beginnings of 3 new tracks to work on. The Cubase remote is mighty nice as well, although it looks like the iPad version's a lot more full-featured. On the iPhone it's primarily just transport controls, but it's the easiest-to-use transport controller I've ever seen. Almost no configuration required. My fingers are pretty clumsy playing on that little iPod screen though, but can't beat it for portability. Anyway, QUESTION: Any of you guys using 3rd-gen/retina iPads with any of this stuff? I'm specifically curious about device compatibility, like with MIDI interfaces and things like the AKAI SynthStation49. Would I be better off finding a gen2 iPad, or does the existing hardware seem to be working with Lightning adapters? EDIT: Seems I actually meant 4th-gen iPad, retina display with lightning connector. Radiapathy fucked around with this message at 18:24 on Feb 11, 2013 |

The iPad 3 works best of course and the iPad 1 shouldn't be considered nowadays. Also, don't underestimate the retina screen. It's just beautifully sharp on the iPad and I wouldn't ever want to go back and read on the non-retina ones. Das MicroKorg fucked around with this message at 10:41 on Feb 11, 2013 |

I feel like I could learn poo poo with it, whereas DJay just felt worthless to me. This is 100% my experience, too. It's extremely deep, but as a compulsive (yet talentless) buyer of all cool music apps, the limits of what I can do in say, djay, are pretty confined. Traktor DJ actually seems smart enough and cleverly designed enough to let me focus more on the creative than the technical. Freezing sections and playing them like keys is amazing.
