iPad Music Apps?

Hmm, Perhaps iOS updates have thrown a stick in the spokes of this process. I haven’t been through the transferring process in quite some time for the Animoog presets, I’ll have to try it out again and see what I can figure out. I wish Moog would just update the app since it’s plainly obvious that people found a away to hijack it and use their own timbres. I’ll let you know after I get a chance to try it out.

I haven’t had time to test the process yet, but I did stumble upon this:

Maybe this works?

And maybe dragging the Timbre folder out and adding them same as the presets?

Whenever I look at modular I want to buy mutable instrument stuff ,

As mirack is now working in aum I’ll dig into it more. Maybe find nice patches on patchstorage or whatever that site is.

iPad rack can run a lot more than my 2010 iMac.

If you like the look of mutable stuff get spectrum, it’s free and is basically the code for braids elements and clouds I think, personally the best sounding synths on iOS

miRack (VCV Rack on the iPad) is now an AUv3. $10. Low CPU.

Do you still have to store everything on the cloud, that put me off a bit so not bought it

I’m able to save a patch to either ‘On My iPad’ or ‘iCloud Drive’.
I didn’t realize that there is an existing thread about miRack here: ‎miRack, VCV rack ported to ipad

For me, the iPad is becoming the ultimate ‘sample fodder’ device. IMO.
Having fun with NanoStudio 2’s seperate tempo track and time signature tracks, too.

Mirack AU in beatmaker is a dream for making samples, the little keyboard with mini sampler underneath the rack is great, I would be absolutely kicking myself right now if i’d invested in eurorack

Apologies. Saw ‘free’ on appsliced & I have the app already so didn’t investigate further.

Edit: Gestrument hasn’t switched to subscription only. It’s an option but there is still a one/time purchase option. There is now a free trial - good - it’s the kind of thing that needs it

No problem, it’s the first time I’ve tried it in ages and it looks like I’ve already bought it too. It’s supposed to be good so worth a trial if anyone hasn’t had a go.

I haven’t seen it being mentioned yet so I‘ll recommend this little app for iPad (also available for desktop computers):

Some excellent percussion with some tweaking options per sound. Used it yesterday with the updated Digitakt, one MIDI track sequencing a lot of extra percussive sounds (every note is a different sound from the app so you can add quite some layers into one track).

iOS app is 7,99 / 19,99 for the desktop app.

By miles, this was my favourite, just great, I stopped using my ipad and got traded it in for something else.

I’m considering buying another ipad just to get it again but it seems the cheap 2nd hand stocks have dried up during lockdown and i’d only use the ipad as a midi sequencer so I’m not paying £600…

The Akai MPC2 was fun, the maschine was is good on ipad if you have maschine but I never really used it that much when it came down to it.

Again, excellent if you have a mac too, didn’t use it much at the time but I probably would now.

Obviously, touch osc and lemur, they’re not that hard to learn.

Patterning is indeed amazing. New iPads are way less than 600 btw. I paid €400 (128GB). Baseline model was around 300.

Edit: 128GB model currently £399 on Amazon UK

Are there alot of apps that you can sequense with midi? As a DT companion ipad is starting too look better and better the more I learn. Being able to have a few synths hosted in AUM, and all controlled by DT.
But It would be for a sidekick and not standalone use mostly.
I understand you need a camera connection adapter too.

Price wise here in Sweden its 400 eur for standard ipad, and a bit more for the mini which i understand is a bit more powerfull.

There’s more synth apps than you can ever use, at least in a productive way. I‘d say the most apps can be sequenced via MIDI. I used the Digitakt with the iPad for the first time two days ago and didn’t have any issues at all.
