Some mighty sweet pre-Black Friday deals here (crossposted in synth thread): http://discchord.com/blog/2015/11/2...-wednesday.html This list has already changed between Tuesday and Wednesday so expect several refreshes over the next two days, and probably on Cyber Monday(ugh) too. If history repeats itself and we get lucky you can expect to see all of the Korg apps on that list come Friday.

Moog (66% off) and Virsyn (50% off) apps are now on sale. Firo is free (normally $20). Lotsa other new discounted apps too. Just, like, quadrupled the size of my virtual "rack" while watching football.

Jeff Goldblum posted:I can't decide if I want to get an iElectribe to jam along to, or a TC-11 to solo and accompany with. I've never done any synth production, I'd be looking for something that I could just plug into a mixer in a live situation. You sound like you could use a Gadget.

How do the popular synth apps do on the iPad Pro? I think Korg's been using one running Gadget to show off the new Nanos at NAMM, but I otherwise haven't heard or seen anything about its adoption among music app users. I'd be tempted to replace my iPad Air 1 with one if I weren't scared of it being a potentially broken experience. And I imagine that you can't splitscreen portrait-orientation apps even if they'd theoretically fit on the screen stacked one on top of the other, to say nothing of how Audiobus would handle it. It's a shame because the obvious draw of the Pro to me is the splitscreen capability. Anyway, have a Cool New Thing: http://www.synthtopia.com/content/2016/01/22/yamaha-wireless-midi-adaptors-add-bluetooth-to-your-existing-gear/ Aside from the potential of turning almost any controller into a Gadget controller, I hope this'll incentivize more people to use iOS creatively with their older gear in other ways. TC-Data (MIDI controller sister app to TC-11) has been out for a few years now but a (hopefully) cheap, easy Bluetooth adapter would make interfacing it with, say, a Juno-106 a MUCH more compelling proposition than it would've been in the past.

The_Wind_Spirit posted:Does anybody here use the IAP sampler instruments in Gadget? The Bilbao and Abu Dabhi? I was wondering if I should get either, both, some external sampler app, or just forgo the entire notion of using samples on the iPad. Both have been praised and recommended a few times in this thread, but I don't personally have them yet. I figured I'd wait until the next promotion. A lot of us including myself use and really love the standalone Samplr, but it's not exactly the same thing. I'd easily recommend it tho.

MrSargent posted:These are probably dumb questions but do apps like iMaschine2 and Samplr come with samples already or have the ability to record samples? I am worried about the space I have on my iPad/iPhone for storing lots of samples and am just curious how these typically work. Is it possible to connect my iDevice to my laptop and load samples from my computer to my phone? Yes. There are lots of different ways ranging from Dropboxing/emailing poo poo to yourself to music apps that have their own built in cloud services to using iOS-compatible physical storage media to dedicated routing and packaging apps like Audiobus and AudioShare. If you're serious about really messing around with this stuff then I'd look into those two apps (Audiobus and AudioShare) in particular. They're a few dollars each and virtually everything works with them. The first one is a routing platform for instruments/effects/recorders/samplers and the second lets you easily move stuff about.

^^^^Get that app^^^^Electric Bugaloo in the Synth Thread posted:Ok, so I downloaded the Model 15 app on Tuesday and I've had a few opportunities to dick around with it on an iPad Air 1 and iPhone 6 since then. So far I've felt fine on both devices, although the older iPad has felt a bit warm during use. I admittedly haven't pushed it super hard with a buttload of other apps running yet but it feels snappy enough that I'd trust it to be fine. The "patch bay" interface for routing to other apps/places is a clever touch.

theflyingexecutive posted:You need an Apple Camera Connection Kit, and fortunately (if what I'm seeing is true), the Minilab doesn't need additional power from a USB hub nor AC adapter To jump in, there are also (both wired and wireless) NanoKEY versions that are a lot cheaper than the Studio and don't have pads/knobs/touchpad, but they're definitely made more for portability and toughness than playability. If you're looking for something that's going to live on a desk then you're totally better off getting something with real keys.

Splinter posted:I'm considering getting a used iPad for the sole purpose of adding it to my desktop music production setup, running MIDI into the iPad and audio out to Ableton rather than building complete tracks within the iPad. I'm primarily looking at various synth apps as well as TouchOSC (or other control apps). More specifically, I'm looking at Thor, ReBirth, Animoog and a few of the Korg offerings. An Air 2- particularly a refurb- can be had pretty cheap at this point. I wouldn't consider anything older given the prices. I've filled a 32gb Air with a couple of large synth and control apps so I also wouldn't recommend less than 64gb. The rumor is that Apple is updating/potentially price dropping iPads in March, so I'd stay tuned if you're not planning to buy right away.

Splinter posted:Performance wise is there a big difference between the Air and Air 2 for synth apps though? It looks like used Airs are a good deal cheaper than refurb or used Air 2s. I'd like to refrain from springing for the latest and greatest before I'm sure an iPad will end up being a permanent fixture in my music production setup. Regardless, I can definitely wait to see if anything happens in March. It's a massive upgrade in terms of internals, and synth apps are actually one of the places where the benefits become really apparent. TBH, I wouldn't necessarily recommend an Air 2 over an Air to most budget-conscious buyers but I absolutely would in your case. I've gotten an Air to hiccup with a few intensive apps going.

MockingQuantum posted: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: I have iM1 and ODYSSEi and I'd consider them both pretty essential- they also manifest as instruments within Gadget (albeit I think the Odyssey might have a bit less depth there than in its standalone app, maybe I'm wrong? 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.

MockingQuantum posted:Only asking about Korg because they're on sale at the moment and I just bought a new iPad mini with enough memory to actually have a good handful of apps handy. I'm definitely planning to grab Model 15 (already have Animoog and Filtatron), but I'll probably wait til it's half-off again. Yeah that's the smart way to go. 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 |

W424 posted:I was going to answer "like 50€?" But cheked ebay... so M1's are vintage now Yeah- like cars of the same era, a lot of 20-30 year old synths are rising in value at the same time that many of them are dying or breaking and needing lots of age-related repairs. Makes the value of clean/restored ones skyrocket.
