What should I spend my £4 on
Well I have been really lucky with timing, I got a £25 iTunes voucher for my birthday and used it to buy AudioShare, iSpark and AUM...I now have £4 left burning a hole in my virtual iTunes pocket.
Has anybody got any recommendations for what would be a good use of this £4 ?
My current process is mainly working with my own loops with added guitar on top.
I start with gadget and get a groove going,
sync up with iSpark and add drums - As I am getting used to iSpark this will change I think to starting with iSpark if my initial thought is a drum groove as opposed to a melodic one
Sync up with ModStep and then add any parts where I want to do live tweaking to the synths, mainly this is with iMS-20
Once I have a good selection of loops I export them into Launchpad and mess around to find some form of structure and arrangement, and load any one shot samples
I'm hoping that I can now record into AUM for the added guitars
The apps I am currently regularly using are
- Launchpad + IAP's
- iSpark
- ModStep
- Gadget + IAP's
- AUM - New into the workflow
- Tonestack
- AudioShare - I don't know how i managed without this before
And those I am not using so regular
- AudioBus
- Patterning
- Cubasis + IAPs
- LoopyHD
- Many Synths
- SilQ
- Turnado
- AUFX PeakQ - I guess this will get more use now I have added AUM
- Stereo Designer
- DubFilter
- EMO Chorus
- Voicerack FX
- Altispace
- Mastering + Master Effects

Sounds like you have a good workflow/plan already. Perhaps you have some un-purchased IAP's in the "many synths" that could complement your set-up? TF7 for example, turns into a completely different synth before/after IAP's. I would otherwise have said midiLFOs, as I think both midiLFOs and Klevgr Kuvert gave quite a few of my old synths a new lease of life. Just thinking out loud, not sure you'd actually need those apps within the process you describe.
i would buy Fugue Machine | multi-playhead sequencer
Fugue Machine is outside of my £4 budget unfortunately
I'd hold on to it until you can articulate a hole that needs filling. Then it will be obvious (or at least easy to get solid recommendations).
MIDI Lfo's could be good, does it add to what I can do with ModSteo already ?
How about this? Just got it and didn't try it yet but should be good. Only 99ct.

Yeah this is what the sensible part of me says, but i am itching to press the buy button one more time
It's a hard place to be, but hey I'm an addict too
Sunvox! You just need to put an extra 49p towards it...
In all honesty I think ModStep would be able to handle what midiLFOs does, provided I have understood ModStep correctly (I own it, I just haven't gotten around to use it just yet). Not being well versed in ModStep I don't know how easy it'd be to set-up though. With midiLFOs it is dead easy and really really quick. It would require you to have midi bind access in whatever app you'd like to control (so I guess that rules out Gadget, but includes AUM etc). I most often use midiLFOs with iSEM or Alchemy.
I understand. Fully. Other AUFX apps like dub, space or push, Samplr, Thumbjam, Drumbjam or Nanostudio are all easy to recommend. Also, Chordion is good fun.
LMAO - I got the cold sweats trying to hold off, shouldn't you be using the filters in AUM to isolate the frequencies coming from GeoShred that are upsetting your canine friend
I am avoiding modular synths as I get too distracted with the building and routing. And also as a recovering appoholic I am restricting myself to my budget.
Ahh, this has got me thinking about that hole you mentioned.
Can anyone confirm if AUM has EQ and Compression available per channel or is this only via using IAA or AU effects ?
Are there any decent AudioUnits EQ's or compressors available yet ?
Sector by Kymatica. It costs more than £4 but often goes on sale
Chordbot
I've already got MIDIBand which does something similar, which I bought thinking I would use it loads, and I haven't used it at all
@AndyPlankton Horses/courses. I have MIDIband and couldn't get on with it at all. Chordbot I find amazingly easy and a perfect place to develop new structures, especially verse into chorus etc and then a simple Midi file out into Auria.
I've done it, I pressed the button, nice warm glowing feeling now instead of the cold sweats
I went for
AUFX DUB
My reasoning was that I can use it in AUM to add MIDICLOCK tempo synced delays to the iMS-20 as the iMS-20 only has sync via wist. Along with the statement from @j_liljedahl that he plans to make the AUFX series audio unit compatible.
@syrupcore Thanks for making me think about filling a hole
Won't go wrong with the AUFX boys.
I am not producing MIDI files anymore, my whole outlook has changed in the last couple of weeks. Creating a midi file for import into a daw for production has been my goal for many years, but now I am just triggering audio and midi live and recording the audio output. My current material is definitely more groove oriented than it is intricate melodies or moving chord progressions.
The recent updates and app releases, in particular ModStep, MIDI master clock in Launchpad, iSpark and now AUM, have changed the possibilities in iOS and my way of thinking in general.
In theory, with the controllers I already own, if I added a SparkLE I could do this without touching the screen apart from loading songs.
God bless Ikutaro Kakehashi, Tom Oberheim, Dave Smith for coming up with the idea of MIDI
and Dave Smith and Chet Wood for putting the work in defining the standard
and Roland, Yamaha, Korg, Kawai, Oberheim, and Sequential Circuits for adopting it and making it happen
and to all manufacturers and developers who have kept it alive and kicking !
Today is a beautiful day
I would also have opted for Chordbot, which I found very useful and helped me to integrate a nicely arpeggiated and then orchestrated sequence into Cubase, very enjoyable.
I also have AUFX:Dub but couldn't get it to work properly yet. But that's surely my fault, haven't spent much time with it.
Yeah I should, but actually I fell asleep....must have been all the excitement
he he he.......That'll be me later, waiting all day to play with AUM, get home, have something to eat, sit on couch with iPad, fall asleep LOL
Maybe having something as deeeeep as Sunvox would cure your addiction?
I would become like Kanye and his ever evolving album, Me and just one ever evolving patch
Welp, next time you get the hankerin get Alaina Strings. Super rich sound to thicken up your mix.

I already have it it is one of my 'Many synths'
