iPad Music Apps?

So how are the pads integrated with the sequencer? Does one predetermine the number of steps before real time recording with pads? Is there micro timing for “stupid”, boombap style sequences? Does it record velocity?

Is the sequencer still “limited” to 64 steps?

I’m on the fence with this one…

Using aum you can choose the source of any channel to be track 1 or 2 etc or stereo mix. So you can setup to record each track. Probably can do it in auria as well. Might be an internal mulitple file export feature as well, not sure.

Strange request but could someone check their Patterning presets for one called “Gem”? I’m not sure thats mine or came with Patterning :flushed:

I just released TriKey today: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/trikey/id1406537477?ls=1&mt=8

It came about while trying to write coherent voicings using Messiaen’s mode of limited transpositions. I was mainly focused on creating a certain atmosphere, and didn’t really care about the notes or composition. Each keyboard filters wrong notes, can hold chords, and controls the dynamics of the instrument via finger movement (y-displacement). I use this extensively with SpitFire’s string / orchestral libraries. You can also control multiple iPad synths with it.

Here is a video showing the controlling of the violin / cello dynamics and note filtering: https://streamable.com/6139x

is it me, or everyone just skipped this wonderful piece of music software called Thor (originally Reason’s main synth)? very playable and flexible.
frankly i still haven’t got used to make music on an ipad (having tons of apps on it), but this one impressed me a lot

I have no idea why Thor doesn’t get more attention. I think it’s one of the all-time best iPad apps, yet I never see anyone discussing it.

Honestly for me it was one of the first apps and it got pushed aside by all the shiny new apps released since then. I need to get back to it.

I also have this vague notion it wouldn’t integrate well with MIDI vis a vis AUM…or something…

I still think it’s a good app. But like the other guy said it’s been forgotten due to shinier new apps. There’s also the AUV3 Police that screams bloody murder at every app that doesn’t support AUv3; they’ve kind of taken over the IOS community like a viral infection.

Audiobus 3 update out.

What are some examples of audio unit midi effects that can now go in the midi effects slot? Seems to be the top update news

I just have the midiflow things…

Been looking for a midi delay with real-time controls…

Some midi au are Rozeta and StepPolyArp.

Other news, Patterning 2 just released and downloaded.

just had my first jam in P2! i watched the “11 minutes in patterning 2” video to kick start my experience. seems like a sweet app. much to learn

Never much cared for Patterning although I have it… whats new in v2.0?

Thor is aight and all, but without CV its much more limited than the version in Reason IMHO

Anyone come across a straight midi delay for iOS?

Am missing this from way back:

The bam bros Rozeta thing has way more complicated midi processing but doesn’t look like I could just use it for repeating incoming midi notes while decreasing velocity (and option for increasing /decreasing note value with the repeats). Or maybe I can just strip back the particles element of Rozeta sequencer and get this?

Thanks for any pointers!

Perhaps StreamByter, heard the developer helps with creating scripts

there are some midi processors out there, midifiltr-pg is one of them , i think the developer does a few others.

midifire would work though i haven’t dug into it much. (i think its streambyter related and has built in scenes and a good forum ) -

i use the rozetta stuff a lot , like a weird modular thing that has lfo’s going in to transpose , fix note scales etc… cells is particularly good .not sure if theres a midi delay though , unless you rigged up the arp in some way…

also ?

Would someone be so kind as to tell me if Patterning 2 records microtiming with the pads or if its auto quantized? I would be very grateful.

looks to be quantized to the grid , which can be up to 64 steps and weird step durations.
you could use 2 patterns with slightly different tempos and slowly more between tempos though i think it’ll apply to all tracks.

you can randomize the attack amount which might help but its not unquantized recording from the pads
