Fave app of 2015 and why?
Was convinced Kirnu cream would be the one, but the sequencer and no drum machine kind of dampened it for me..
So...korg iDS10 is my 2015 fave..just got it today
Its simple, clean and potent.
The synth and drum machine are powerful, i like the fx, the mixer is sweet, the vocoder thing is capable of crazy stuff and the sequencer is sweet too.
Its a simple app but has all the right ingredients to make good dance music, easy to navigate, no tutorial or manual needed and that classic deadly korg energy
Best of all..it is a totally standalone app.
So, merry xmas to you and to me! I look forward to long hours with iDS10. My next SOTM entry will be with this app
Whats your app of the year and why?
Comments
Fugue Machine for me - because it makes me sound more impressive than I really am!
Not an app per se but Link is gearing up to be my fav app feature. Jamming is fun!
Elastic Drums - it's the best drum synth and sequencer on iOS .
Aside from the obvious (Auria Pro)
Cream, or Poseidon, or Creamed Posiedon.
Poseidon for depth meets touch accessibility, Cream because there's nothing like it on iOS, it's a Super-Arp-O-Tron but it's also a sequencer, composition tool and it can stand alone to jam...
Patterning. Sharpened my beat-making skills and made me really appreciate and focus on drums in pop music for the first time.
It was the funnest to use and it increased my efficiency while working on an iPad.
Runner-up is Fugue Machine
Cream mobile is creamy.
Modstep is just an elaborate sequencer, but Cream lets me setup different steplenghts for velo, gate, etc. -> instant awesomeness.
All the drumapps disappoint because of lack of individual live outs for further processing.
Patterning. As an avid user of hardware drum machines and samplers for many years, this made me go all in on the iPad. I am so pleased with the depth and subtleties that result.
So, so many good things came out.
Patterning, with Fugue Machine and AnalogKit very close behind.
Patterning is my go-to drum/percussion app now, because it just clicks with me. Fugue Machine does something no other app does, and it does it easily and very, very well. AnalogKit because I finally feel like I'm cracking the "modular code" with it.
After buying iDS-10 today, it's definitely gotta be my favorite app for 2015. I'm having a lot of fun with it and it's even better than the Nintendo DS version.
Auria Pro: Although I hardly count it as an app. It's the central knave in the imaginary cathedral. Still being built, but this is where the worshiping will get done.
Fugue: Elegance, mathematics and beauty
Audioshare and Audiobus: Because we always disregard the essential.
Honorable other: Link.
EDIT: Why I worry about this in some way being The Historical Record I don't know, but for my future self looking back (very unlikely) I also am loving GeoShred for the sheer verve of it and have not yet fallen out of love with FLUX. And Patterning is thoroughly admirable but at this precise point in time I'm choked full of apps that are not properly/fully allowing their products easy access to the world. I expect this to change (them not me), but no immediate copy output of a pre-defined perfect loop seems like building a towerblock with no door.
Patterning nothing else even close.
Synthmaster player and im1.
Audulus 3
Fugue and patterning are cool but audulus 3 is just so much bigger, deeper, mind blowing. 3 great apps.
Not sure about anything deeper or what ever but there is a reason this is climbing to the top of user polls and even top of the App Store. Make no mistake, it lives up to this hype.
I wish Patterning was for the iPhone too
Auria Pro would get my vote in the meantime.
AnalogKit was a revelation on iOS. Patterning is great too. Flux:fx as well. I use them regularly for music.
Also the noisemakers hexaglyphics, bent.fm, and grainproc.
I was all Gadget at the start of the year. Now SunVox has become The One for me.
It's a DAW when I need it to be a DAW. It's a synth like no other. Same with drums, effects, etc..
The timeline is near sublime and works with me in ways that no other DAW, sequencer does. It is much more freeform and allows me to place notes, scribbles, snippets of music, odd noises and samples where I want. I can also do Ableton style loop switching but with loops of any length.
The synth engine doesn't hand me everything on a plate but gives me enough tools that I can build many different audio monsters and keeps me constantly exploring how audio and music works. The module system means that I can build my own gadget synths or drum machines and drop them anywhere in the timeline.
Auria Pro...the reason is self explained i guess
The recent EMS additions to iVCS3 (and the LFO stuff - or was that 2014?) - absolutely wonderful!
Auria 2 (and Auria Pro, but I'm waiting to update to that because of app budget restrictions in 2015)
Synthmaster Player - I bought the full desktop version as a result
iM1 - because, yet another synth emulated very nicely with smarts on top
The updates to Notion - (in spite of the fact I still don't like the newer look'n'feel)
Other favorite upgrade of the year: Logic Pro X with Alchemy full - looking forward to Alchemy reappearing perhaps on iOS - and no - I have no insight on that
- just a hope on my part.
Favourite app released in 2015?
Favourite apps I've used this year:
If we're talking favourite released in 2015 then it's got to be Poseidon with Roli Noise 5D as a close second.
Poseidon is such a rich sounding synth with some really unusual textures, especially since the first update where they enabled you to use your own samples. The arpeggiator is really strong and the randomisation features of both generate some really surprising and useful material.
Noise 5D was also a bit of a surprise in that it is so expressive and playable, especially with 3D touch. Although there are no custom presets the ones provided sound fantastic and the combination of the 5 degrees of control turns what would be an ok sounding synth into an instrument capable of real subtlety. Just a shame that its output can only be recorded with a second device at present.
deleted - didn't read OP properly...
If only it wasn't a tracker..it is very very good..a classic and a masterpiece

Yep, Sunvox is a perennial #1. @Jocphone: thanks for the reminder. I think it's the only app I bought for iPad 5 years ago that I still use all the time. And installed on 4 other platforms. And continues to school me. And have dreamt about! The timeline really is amazing, (the way it works with Rec function!? Man), there's nothing like that feature in DAW or tracker land. Zolotov cocktail.
Seems patterning is a huge fave.. Nearly got it but cause of no acp I didn't. If it's for beats..should be able to record and export 2-4-8 bar loops..it's standard
Oscilab has me intrigued still, even though I'm still working my way around it and losing more hair scratching my head...
I do understand that sentiment touch, but every app has at least one 'if only' as far as I can see. It's not so hard to work the tracker, or just record notes live, as @Littlewoodg mentions. I spend only a small amount of time entering notes as opposed to massaging the sounds and rhythms other ways that I don't see it as a hindrance. But I realise that may not be the case for other people's workflow. What i do try to tell people about is one of the most flexible/powerful synths and song construction tools on iOS, as well as it existing on virtually every other platform. It really is an amazing piece of work despite its shortcomings.
Re: Sunvox - lots of praise here for it, but it is THE ONE that drives me bananas. @touchconspiracy laments the tracker aspect - could this app still do what it does with something like a more 'traditional' sequencer?
Ages ago I actually watched a whole series of tutorials on SunVox yet..the tracker just puts me off
Some of the best iOS music I've heard has been in SunVox
I strongly believe and encourage those that stick with apps like this and master them
It does have very serious synthesis potential too
@Jocphone said:
@Brain it could probably do some of what it does with a piano roll type ui for entering notes but there are many, many good things that come with the tracker interface. Personally I would like something more graphical for entering certain types of data but I'm not sure the traditional sequencer/piano roll solution is the answer.
