Baddcr-have you grabbed Elastic Drums yet? The more I use it, the more it blows me away. Possibly the most “Elektron” app in the App Store, even in its currently limited state.
Ooooh no, missed that one… thanks, I’ll check it out

Doug did a video about a month ago. It seems a bit more stable, but is currently missing some things like Audiobus (which should hopefully be implemented before the end of the year: http://www.thesoundtestroom.com/elastic-drums-pre-release-demo/
Once it gets midi (early next year), it’ll be killer, but as it stands now it’s excellent for sound design and mangling. A Machinedrum rival right out of the gate. The effects and sound design alone make it worth the purchase as it stands.
Dear Accent,
do you try also SeekBeats or someone else compare to Elastic Drums?
All the best,
waldemaR
I haven’t tried SeekBeats. Not a fan of the flat GUI, but I know a lot of people swear by it. Probably the closest thing I have is Stroke Machine, as I don’t generally bother with with dedicated drum apps since I’ve got a MDUW.
iVCS3 sounds strangely great.
iMPC Pro, iMPC Pro, iMPC Pro! 
I downloaded so many other apps, but keep returning to that one all the time, despite its limitations.
Additionally, Auria with Fabfilter plugins (as recorder not input), Korg Gadget, BassLine, Z3ta, Sunrizer, iSEM.
Here’s another cool one: 43d

Field recordings from around the world. Just had a cool improv session using it with the Octatrack, so I thought others might enjoy it as well.

Nice find Accent. Can’t wait to check that out (after I get my ipad’s screen repaired )
That reminds me- thinking of picking up a lightning mic for my phone- planning a trip to Belize in a few months, and want to record some monkeys and birds…
ok i can’t figure out how to link it, but go to app store and search “dream talk recorder”. it’s a recorder that you set a level threshold to auto activate and it records your mumbles, snores etc into an easy archive format.
worldwide users upload their personal faves. some have a great singsong quality to them and the farts are surprisingly melodic - brass waveform anyone?
managed to get a great loop out of my snore/snuffle. enjoy.

I’m really interested in getting another Octatrack or a Digitakt and using an iPad I have access to for source material.
I’m just curious about two things before I invest;
- is the sound quality from the iPad the same as that from a normal software synth on a computer?
- if you have a beat running on Octatrack synced with iPad app like boarderlands (running the grid) etc can you sample on the fly and end up with a usable (loopable) sample on the Octatrack or do you need to go in and edit the start and end points etc.
sound quality - same as computer … you can get a decent audio interface or capture audio directly (via aum or audiobus etc) … render it off as wavs and share it via drop box/email. you could also link ipad via usb lead and put audio directly into ableton.
in terms of usable loops , its like any other audio that youd put into the octatrack to loop , you could sync ios apps to octatrack clock via something like iodock2 or other midi interface.
i often use my ipad as an fx unit , 2 x mono inputs , routed through various plugins , summed together and sent out.
i’m using ipad pro and an older ipad and the older one is still very usable.
I haven’t heard any difference. However, I don’t use Omnisphere or other desktop computer softsynths that rely on big sample libraries.
I’ve never had to edit the start/end points on the Octatrack after sampling on the fly. I don’t sample more than 30 sec. of audio though, when I sample on the fly - it’s because when you sample on the fly, the audio goes into the OT’s RAM, which is 80 MB in size.
Cool threat. Thanks guys. I am currently looking for nice sequencer app for controlling my modular via yarns. Any good advices for sequencers specific. I was think about something like Rene only then in ipad format?
Kind of OT related.
Often in my workflow I sample from my iPhone mp3 library.
My question — is anyone aware of an app that would allow easy access to my iTunes library so I could grab a section of the audio and loop it.
I use Samplr on iPad but find the Audioshare routines to import audio a pain.
Thanks
Just got an ipad, finally. Laplace or whatever it is called is quite cool. Physical modelling synth.
What other apps have come out since this thread started and sort of died out?
There’s another thread here that I posted a couple of great new granular apps in yesterday: iPad Music Apps?
