The Leck posted:I've recently picked up an iPad with the idea of using it for "live" synth playing (not so much composition), and the choices are a bit overwhelming. The most obvious aim for me is some Cars/Rentals sort of synths in a rock context, but I'm looking forward to seeing what these things can do. I would say start with Korg Gadget before picking up a ton of other apps, it's pretty full featured app by itself. That being said, the Arturia apps are on sale right now, and the Korg ones might still be, so it may be worth grabbing MS20, Polysix, Prophet, and SEM too. That's more than enough to keep you busy until well into next year, assuming you're taking the time to really get to know the apps.

Stabbing Spork posted:Any recommendations for a portable keyboard for the iPad? I was considering the Korg Nanokeys2, but the Keith McMillen QuNexus has some cool extra features, and would work with synth gear as well. Having had them both, the extra cost is worth it to go for the QuNexus, if for no other reason than build quality. Plus it does CV which is an added bonus. I'd say the nanokeys are almost overpriced for their quality. They're fine for what they are, but mine didn't last long in a backpack. Edit: they both play and feel pretty different, so I recommend getting your hands on a QuNexus before buying to make sure it's right for you. It takes some adjustment to get used to playing on one. The nano's keys are basically just buttons, can't remember if they have any velocity capability. MockingQuantum fucked around with this message at 02:47 on Dec 27, 2014 |

theflyingexecutive posted:Full DAW production is still very much the realm of computers though; I wouldn't really advise teaching yourself production with Cubasis or Auria. iPads are good at a lot of things, but definitely more on the old gear emulation/weird sound maker/sketch producer/MIDI controller side of things rather than the production side. Agreed. Though Berklee Online will be offering a "Music Production with the iPad" course in the spring, which both impresses me and makes me cringe.

Arg between Arp Odyssey and Moog Model 15 (among other apps), I think I may finally be forced to upgrade beyond my iPad 4. I really wanted to string this one out for as long as I could, but it looks like most of the major music app manufacturers are requiring 64-bit devices. Not that I blame them. Question comes down to whether I should get an Air or a Mini, then. I'd be using it mostly for music apps... does that make the Minis less desirable?

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. 1. Stick to the Airs or newer, I believe. Basically a whole bunch of new audio apps use the Metal development tools, which locks them into 64-bit models. In particular I know Moog Model 15 is 64-bit only. I've got an iPad 4 and I can't use it, and I know I've run into three or four others since then. 2. I haven't noticed a wild difference in audio quality when A/B'ing some stuff. I'm sure there probably is a quality difference given the difference in hardware but when you look at the price disparity between apps and desktop VST/AU versions you're sort of getting what you pay for in some respects. Basically if it's not a flagship synth or effect for you, you could probably get by with the app version of whatever. I mostly get VST version of stuff when I know the app version will be a big headache to use compared to just kicking open a DAW and hitting the ground running (which, admittedly, is frequently the case).

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.

Crime on a Dime posted: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 I'm not sure I follow... which app are you talking about in regards to modular synthesis?

Electric Bugaloo posted: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). 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.
