discchord.com and synthtopia.com are ok. Audiobus forums are comparable.

In Gadget, is there a way to loop a specific bar? IE: I have a 4 bar loop but just want to focus on the first bit?

iVCS3 just dropped, which to my disappointment is an old-rear end analog synth instead of an Atari 2600 emulator. Their other apps (Stria, iPulsaret, iDensity) are discounted from 9 bucks to 5 for two weeks as well.

Are there any fun grooving type apps that export out in MIDI? I want to be able to jam out an idea and actually be able to work on it properly later.

You might get some milage out of Arpeggionome Pro, which is pretty customizable and might let you stumble into a few bass riffs. I also picked up StepPolyArp today which is more of a 'program an arp' deal, pretty similar to what VirSin builds into their synths. It has a random function I'm planning on screwing around with, but is somewhat harder to use.

While I'm at it I dug up a few more links for review sites and such. SmiteMatter published one of the first iOS-only albums back in 2011. Honestly I can't get into his music much (even if I do like ambient) but he has a good blog covering his experiences with using various apps for both his albums. For those of you with Thor, Gordon Reid of Synth Secrets fame published an analogous series covering the desktop version. The iOS version is drat close if not identical as far as I know, to the point where patches for one work with the other. It's more application than theory focused since I imagine Propellerhead was paying him for it. Original MiniMoog patch charts for those with iMini. Really wish it would work with BeatMaker 2 already, argh. 20patch Turns making MS-20 patches into some sort of Diablo character spec sheet type of deal. Has a few patches submitted by users. Not a fan of most of them personally. Music App Blog is the big prize. Dude reviews drat near every music app that comes out and does a good, thorough job. I've been listening to a lot of synthwave lately and in particular loving me some Miami Nights 1984 which scratches that analog synth itch that I've been buying all these damned apps for. Hoping to making something on similar lines, though I've never really done 'serious' music before so how knows how the gently caress it'll end up. lord funk, I have to admit I haven't had a chance to try out TC-11 much. I'll try to give it a good spin and post a trip report, promise!

I recently bought KORG Gadget after holding off for quite a while. I've spent so much money on music apps that it was difficult to spend $29 on yet another one. This one is worth the money, though. I've bought like a dozen standalone synth apps, some of which are quite powerful, but Gadget comes with a bunch of synths that all have their own strengths, and best of all, they keep things simple while offering just enough knob tweaking to create unique sounds. The included presets are very good, too. It doesn't take a lot of time to get great sounds out of this app. The sequencing and building song structure are simple and flexible enough to get things done quickly. You can build the skeleton of a song really quickly. Automation is similarly flexible and quick to put to work for livening up sequences. If you're content to work solely within the app, creating songs is a breeze once you're familiar with all of the app's functionality. The included effects are fairly high quality, although I'd like to see a wider variety of send effects in the future. The drum machine includes ~400 samples, largely quite good ones. Being able to import your own drum samples would open up possibilities quite a bit. Hopefully KORG adds that functionality. KORG has already stated that audio tracks are going to be added in the near future, so I think this app has the potential to be a major iOS DAW, especially for the EDM folks. It's on sale for $28.99 until the end of this month. After that it goes up to to $38.99.

 Positive Grid is releasing their Ozone clone, called Final Touch, today for $19.99. It looks pretty impressive, especial for the price. Alternatively, there's also Audio Mastering, which has many of the same features for a lower price. I own this and it's quite a high quality app. Here are some videos of Final Touch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoBQaNhI2GU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIGpa0op8kE

Eegah posted:If only I could get far enough in the composition process to get anywhere near to mastering I know what you mean. I dabbled in EDM production on the desktop for years, but never accomplished anything worth remembering. It was only once I started getting iPad apps that I started getting "serious" about completing tracks. Even then, I too often got stuck creating a bunch of 30 second loops. I've been really productive since I bought Korg Gadget. Instead of shuffling synth and effects apps through Audiobus, I just fire up Gadget and everything's in the app. It has its limitations but the immediacy of having a bunch of synths right in the app has me breezing through composing tunes.

My current music process: * Come up with a bass line or chord progression in my head and say "hm that seems neat" * Fire up Caustic or BM2 and a synth, try it out * Think about what to do next with it, declare "music is hard" * By this point I've bought like, three new synths to gently caress around with * Save phrase as "Idea 140325 01.bm2" and never touch it again. I don't know why this whole music thing brings out the ADHD so hard but drat. I think perhaps it's because I'm still in the stupid newbie phase and I'm still learning how to get that sound on synths, develop melodies and everything all at once and I'm not concentrating on any specific task.

I usually get the drum beat and bassline part and let it loop for 30 minutes while I futz around trying to find a lead tone I'm happy with. I never find a lead I'm happy with. So I delete everything but the drums and bass. "Sounds great, I'm done."

I don't think I've ever finished anything on the ipad but I export a lot of stuff to be sampled later. I've used it a bunch live for audio and controlling other stuff, I'll be playing Nave at a gig (it will also be clock master for other stuff) this weekend.

It's kindof what I was hoping Gadget would help for, give me a self-contained environment for fleshing out a sketch before making a real track out of it with other synths (I'm mostly doing 80s synthwave type stuff). Unfortunately Gadget doesn't have any sort of MIDI export functionality I know of so I'm kindof stuck there. Caustic is a little better about this it seems but its export seems pretty cumborsome (and you need AudioShare for it).

Eegah posted:My current music process: Synth collecting is a common distraction. I've bought a bunch of them. The trick is to spend time getting proficient in 2 or 3 of them. Gadget has 10 synths to choose from, but I've spent a fair amount of time with each of them and they each excel at particular kinds of sounds, so when I want to make a certain kind of sound I know which synth to use. I compose techno. My process is something like this: 1. Sequence a typical 4/4 oontz oontz beat to work over. 2. Write a bassline. 3. Repeat the beat and bassline over several bars, add an evolving synth sequence. 4. Add some rhythmic elements and effects. 5. Use what I've composed so far to begin building a song structure, create intro/outro, etc. 6. Hopefully finish the track.

How can I get DM-1 to trigger from a sequencer such as BM2 or Genome? I have the channel set right, it looks like DM1 uses the GM MIDI codes (36 for the bass drum which is C1 for instance) but I'm not getting any sound. Is it a bug in DM1's MIDI implementation?
