iPad Music Apps?

I’m thinking about finally getting an iPad(used ideally) and I’m wondering if y’all know of any good composition/synth apps that I could upload into it. Ideally I’d like something where I can sorta organize my thoughts, and possibly work on structure, but I’ve seen some cool videos where a guy made a composition with a monomachine and an iPad app. So any suggestions will be researched! First and foremost, definitely want to get Strom + RYTM because that looks really cool. Thank you

I found out a few months ago that my A4 MK1 will send midi start/stop messages to my focusrite iTrack dock via USB. I never tested midi to see if it sends notes or anything else, but I was able to clock the Troublemaker app in iOS with an Analog4 MK1. I should probably test midi…

I tried out Beatmaker 3 with Rytm mk2 using usb class compliant interface. I used headphone on the Rytm mk3 to listen the master track.

Beatmaker 3 offers:

• Sequencing
• Sampling on the fly with editing start/end/loop
• Sample processing (normalize, trim, reverse)
• One shot sample, slices, timestretch loops…multi samples

For me these functions are the most important… a lot apps can do a lot, except one the above or partly… Beatmaker is very complete and offers good tools.

Beatmaker 3 I used as the sequencer to sequence the sounds sampled from the Rytm… I could also sync Beatmaker tracks with tracks from the Rytm together… Audio units can be used easily… for synths etc and synced with the tracks.

I used the Rytm as master(compress, distort) and recorded the session with a blackbox using ext out…

Saving song are mainly done in Beatmaker 3. Most sounds are one shot sampled with this workflow.

It worked!.. One of things I don’t completely like is the confusing interface of bm3… It has so many options you get lost sometimes…

Also I could not find a convenient way in Beatmaker to record longer tracks… Its MPC style sequencer… I am not that experienced with Beatmaker 3… it might be somewhere…

A simpler alternative is still something I look out for…

I try to play and investigate these apps further…

Garageband
Drambo
Cubasis
Gadget 2
Aum with a combination of plugins… (piano roll, midi fx, sampler etc)

Any tips are welcome.

The simplest workflow is loopy. Depends how you want to work Amazing!

I haven’t tried it out yet, but I fully expect Samplr to play a prime role with either my A4MK2 or ARMK2.

Going to give it a go on my days off this week - can’t wait.
