Check out Beatmaker 2. I haven't used it myself, but many people seem to regard it as one of the best music studio apps out there. http://www.intua.net/products/beatmaker2 Also, if you don't mind something a little bit different UI-wise, check out Tabletop: http://retronyms.com/

Epileper posted:guys, Turnado: That looks interesting. I guess you'll need a USB audio interface connected to your iPad for this? By the way, I bought "Pixitracker 1 bit" as well as the regular version a couple of days ago and both are super fun (and super simple) tracker apps, ideal for people who don't need lots of extra features and just want to jam on the couch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mi9hg1tPlk0

CAT rear end now!!! posted:Hey iOS people, There a a lot of great apps for the iPad, especially single instrument apps like the Korg stuff, Animoog, Tenori-On, etc. but you might need more than one iPad to really put up a performance, since there is no universal multitasking or global app management functionality. Also, sequencer apps are still not the tightest. The iPad makes a great and versatile companion, but I don't think it can replace a hardware setup or music workstation laptop yet.

CAT rear end now!!! posted:Is it possible make MIDI OUT tracks in Nanostudio to control hardware synths? No, it only supports MIDI input. There are sequencer apps though like the Tenori-On App and Genome Sequencer. But as I wrote , those can be a little loose sometimes and benefit from playing alone on one iPad, without other stuff in the background. I made two tutorial videos for the Tenori-On app, by the way: MIDI Output: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRBbBlOciUo MIDI Input: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5-_MJoAZqo

Owning an iPad is really great in many ways, so I would just sell as much gear as necessary to buy one iPad and then just try it out and see how it works for you. Let us know your experiences with it then  Edit: I can imagine a setup with an MPC, a MIDI Keyboad and two iPads would work really well. Do drums and sequencing on the MPC and use the iPads for various synths.

Drum parts can be played and tweaked while the song is running. The manual doesn't specify MIDI CC# for the drum parameters though and I haven't managed to use my MIDI controller for anything else than triggering drum parts with the keyboard (MIDI channels 3-8). The Synth parts however can both be played and tweaked with an external controller (MIDI CC# for various parameters are written in the back of the manual). You can control one synth externally and the other one on the iPad's touchscreen.

CAT rear end now!!! posted:- it is NOT possible to tweak drum sounds while a song is playing, FLX! Makes sense, though, seeing as it would somehow have to sample them in real time. This also explains why the drum patch parametres don't have CC values! drat, you're right! It actually mutes the synth part when switching to the drum parts while the song is playing. Sorry about that! It does however continue to play the drum parts and I can edit them while they are playing. At least it looks/sounds that way. About the rest: FLX posted:Well, it's an iPad app v You definitely have to get used to the iPad's interfaces (and disable the four-finger swipe gesture to switch between apps). The iPad synth apps are best used as single instruments, which are played and sequenced with external hardware. If you want awesome synth drums get the iElectribe, which is basically an exact copy of an ER-1 plus some additional features.

Something more or less related: I keep coming back to the ReBirth iPad app. It was one of the first "big" music apps and the interface and sound are still awesome. It's a great app especially when you're on the go and you just want to go nuts in one single app. Dual 303s, plus an 808, plus a 909, plus FX and easy automation of almost everything across a whole song. It makes the iPad into a crazy acid jam machine.

It seems like great fun after recording the first "ooohs" and "aaaahs" and playing around with them  I do miss the ability to trim samples (or set in/out points for the other modes apart from the keyboard mode) and I'd like overdub recording of my finger movements and a consistent 4 beat count-in before recording movements. Maybe we'll get that in the update.

xzzy posted:Just using NanoStudio to play is not a good option because it won't output over bluetooth nor is it wise to be messing around with loading tracks while driving. You could open the songs in GoodReader (you should already have GoodReader installed  ), put them in a directory there and it should play them one after the other.Edit: AudioCopy the track into Hokusai (you'll need the AudioCopy IAP) and then hit "Quick Export" and choose to open the file in another App after export. Choose "Open in GoodReader" when the export is done. From GoodReader you can also copy files to/from a computer over WiFi. Das MicroKorg fucked around with this message at 22:06 on Aug 29, 2013 |

CAT rear end now!!! posted:Oh boy Mmmh, well. I just got home and played a little with the app and patching is frustrating as hell!!! Your fingers always obscure the patch points and the app is really finicky where it wants you to release the cables. The knobs, buttons and zoom gestures in general act strange sometimes, which was my main gripe in their Rhythm Studio app as well. Also, the rack space is quite small and there aren't any small multiple modules (or ways to "stack cables" ).

Mark your calendars / spread the word / buy it for grandma and grandpa! Thanks for the heads up! I will most probably buy it then! So far it always looked very complicated and I wasn't sure if spending "that much" money on it would be worth it, for me and my personal iOS music app taste.

TopherCStone posted:I'm having a ton of fun with Figure. Played with it a bit last night jamming with a friend on acoustic guitar, but I didn't really have the hang of it yet. Just a moment ago I made a great sounding looping bit with drums, lead synth, and bass all working together really well. It feels like a game, but the end result is astonishingly good. While you still have to play/overdub the drums with it, give iMaschine a try. It's simple like Figure, but gives you a little more control. If you want to go deeper, check out iMPC (still have to play the beat), iElectribe and ReBirth ... and "8bit Drums" :-p

Declan MacManus posted:I might be getting an iPad soon. What are some basic apps that everyone gets for music production/performance? Depends on what you want. GarageBand and NanoStudio are very good DAW-like apps. Samplr is a fantastic sampling and performance app. Then, there are tons of great single-instrument apps (Korg iMS-20 etc, Thor, Animoog, etc.). And lastly apps to just play around with like Figure, iKaossilator, iMaschine.

What do I need to record the hardware sound of a synthesizer into an iOS DAW? You'll need a class-compliant or iPad-specific USB audio interface that's either powered by the iPad or a powered USB hub. Behringer makes small stereo interfaces that don't cost much and can be powered off the iPad's USB bus.

My current plan is to run my tracks in NanoStudio, tweak select synth parametres in real time with an iCon iControl and play samples live with a KORG NanoKey 2. Very exciting! I've only ever played one show years ago and that was a noise thing where it didn't really matter what I played, so this is on a pretty different level of seriousness and requires quite a bit of planning and rehearsing. Sounds great Make sure to record the show! I'd love to see it.
