  • Noise.io

    The first iOS music app I bought was Noise.io when I bought my first iOS device which was an iPod Touch 2G which I still have.

  • Does anyone remember Moo Cow Band? I think it was actually one of the first iOS music apps. I got it for my 1st. gen iPod Touch. In 2007!! My second one was probably Beatmaker (1).

    iTalk voice recorder, which I bought to replace Apple's built in recorder app after Apple screwed it up with the v7 redesign.

  • Can no one say minisynth by yonac?

    Figure was the first, then audiobus as I was searching something to record my jams in GarageBand

    Oh yeah, audiobus and BeatMaker 2 were soon afterwards - to start put stuff together in.

    Yep was one of my 1st apps too. They progressed a bit with loopticle

  • I bought an iPad 2 after seeing demos of GarageBand. I soon bought Animoog (for $0.99), and then iMS-20.

  • MusicStudio, then Argon and Rebirth on an iPod touch running iOS 4.
    Amazing just how Argon has stood the test of time. Great iOS synth.

    But, I wasn't really an "iOS musician" back then with the iPod touch - more curiosity as a musician generally.

    Then, iMS-20 came out and I was sold! It was the reason I bought an iPad 1 in the first place back in the day. Could see no other use for an iPad before that. (Bought Animoog shortly after that). Becoming an iOS musician - so to speak - became the sole reason for me purchasing iPads. (Of course now I do occasionally do one or two other things on an iPad - but only rarely. Still almost exclusively music use one way or another.)

    THUMBJAM...

    I drove my family and friends nuts constantly waving my iphone 3s in their faces and dribbling "HOW COOL IS THIS!!" as I contorted my body to get a 7 semitone electric guitar bend and vibrato going.

    You'd think I'd have stopped doing that after 5 years.

    Right?

    I, too, got in on that $0.99 goodness!

  • Beatwave and other random toy drum and guitar apps were my first. Then GarageBand, Alchemy, and the rest was history!

  • Noise.io - I could not believe that my phone could be a synth

  • Nanostudio , plus forum ...

  • GB ---> TJ ---> BM2

    A bery long time ago. IPad 2

    Loopy HD for me. I ran across a video of it on youtube. Buying it led me here to this forum.

    Same here. Then Animoog and a whole long list of apps since then. Initially it was Tim Webb's postings on Reddit about his Discchord site that got me interested in music making on the iPad, and like you I eventually ended up here and Reddit's https://reddit.com/r/ipadmusic .

  • NanoStudio

  • edited January 2016

    nanoloop, vividtracker, sunvox & figure.

    rarely use nanoloop though. cant say why. sunvox gets heavy use between ipad and pc. vividtracker too, though not as much as before. and figure was fun at first, but i lost interest when i couldnt copy my songs with itunes to back them up.

    Looks like for me it was Nave. There was a flurry of activity my first couple of months!

  • Thumbjam!

    You have the first request in the NS feature requests thread. :)

  • Just found Rebirth on my old 3GS ( I was repurposing it with Brute LFO ).

    I don't remember buying that.

    Shame it's not universal.

  • edited January 2016

    I can't remember for sure. NanoStudio is one of the first that I can remember using, I think that was pre-iPad days.

  • I still have the old iPad version before they withdrew it @JiggyWig

  • Screencaps from my iPad 1. I haven't tried it on anything recent, might still be fine. Will have to check out transferring the ipa at some point :wink:

  • What's the difference between that version on the current ipad version @MusicInclusive ?

  • edited January 2016

    Is Rebirth for iPhone withdrawn?, I can't see it on the store. I'd better make sure I have a backup of the 3GS!

    Indeed. It is gone! Probably years ago. FWIW I installed the ipa on my iOS 9 iPad Mini 2 and it ran, more or less, but was pretty flaky.

  • Yep - here we go - still working fine on a mini 2 running 7.1.2 (haven't tried it on 8 or 9 but probably fine).

    And also in Audiobus - was done just before they withdrew it:

  • What's the difference between... what and what @JiggyWig ? :)

  • Rebirth for iPad is still on the store, it's the phone version that's gone. I was wondering which version you're considering.

  • Oh - my bad - I thought it was the other way round. Mea culpa! :blush:
