Feed my OT: best IPad apps

I have a Roland Duo Capture EX for audio interfacing w/ iPad.

Back when I was planning my iPad purchase, I considered the Alesis IO Dock. Then the iPad 4th gen came out and it used a different dock connector than the IO Dock! That was when I decided to avoid anything that encloses the whole iPad, because once you spend that $150 or whatever for an IO Dock, you can only use it with the iPad that it fits - if for some reason you upgrade to a new iPad model, it might not fit at all, or the connector could be in the wrong place.

midi wise, Iā€™m waiting on one of these

Sample toy is worth checking out. Doesnā€™t look all that spectacular but can very quickly and easily create nice looped/granular drony type stuff.

#44

Since the iconnectmidi was brought up, and I asked about this elsewhere online and was met with silence, anyone have the 2 and tried using the audio passThru with an interface or USB-enabled mixer instead of direct to a computer? I like everything about it, except being tied to a computer for routing audio.

#45

Iā€™m actually waiting on the 4 myself. I want the added featuresā€¦I thought about buying the 2 but it was out of stock where I wanted to order it so I just decided to wait.

A good one for generating loops quickly is Figure by Propellerhead.

Another good one is iMaschine; there are a bunch of cheap sample packs and you can use it to generate drums for OT quickly to mangle.

#47

figure actually has some decent bass and lead patches as well

believe it or not, I like the patches better than the loved dm1

#48

Yeah, honestly with some OT effects you can get quite a range of sounds from Figure.

The interface is pretty intuitive, Iā€™ m thinking of using it live even

#49

Figure is an awesome app for 99 cents.
The interface is intuitive, but could use an update.
I didnā€™t know how to change kits until I accidentally did it.
They should just put arrows on either side of the kit name to let you know you can swipe scroll.
Otherwise it sounds amazing and is a lot of fun to use.

Mind Blown. So enjoyable to play.

#51

only have a phone, but I like DM1 and glitchbreaks. last DM1 update added MIDI.

#52

I generally avoid posting links to my own websites in forums, but this thread seems like a particularly relevant place to point you to my site that categorises iOS music apps. Some might find handy :slight_smile:

Iā€™ve only had a few days but already I think itā€™s the best music app Iā€™ve installed on my iPad.

#57

Just picked up Vosis for $2. Might appeal to those who dig Borderlands or Samplr.

#58

Cube Synth
Addictive
Nave
Animoog
Thor
Borderlands
Samplr
TC11
Impaktor
Drumjam
iSem
Turnado

Not necessarily in that orderā€¦

#59

I bought iSem when it came out but Iā€™ve been using it a lot lately, midi from OT to iPad, great sound for $10 :wink:

Just been messing with Cube Synth some moreā€¦sounding seriously good. Travelling a lot at the moment so havenā€™t always got the OT set up but going to feed her some of this soonā€¦
