Samplr and tc-11, both of them put me in an altered state without the use of chemicals.
Play for 30 years and you'll be be able to pull ridiculously hot things out of the oven without burning yourself.
I am planning/expecting to be eating my food through a straw by then, but I get the idea
3 pages, and nobody's said "Fugue Machine"? It's like the "hub of fun" on my iPad!
Honorable mentions to Different Drummer, Patterning, and Geoshred. Geoshred is just so darn fun to actually play sometimes!
I almost voted Gadget, but on 2nd thought, I've actually had more fun historically with Figure. That said, I'm ridiculously productive with Gadget
...especially when I drop my Figure stems into Bilbao.
What's the best way to do that?
ReBirth has been a favorite of mine since a friend of mine put me onto it back in '97. I didn't have a computer then. But my brother worked at CompUSA at the time, hooked me up with his employee discount, and taught me how to build my own PC. Those were exciting times coming from hardware and having 2 303s and an 808 (ReBirth 1.5) for $159 on a computer screen. Never seen anything like it before. The only soft synth available before that was Reality by Seer Systems, which Dave Smith had developed. So ReBirth with it's GUI was a real eye opener for what the future of music making software would evolve into.
2.0 was even better with the 909. I got all the mods (official and unofficial) for RB 1.5 and 2.0. I always felt like a kid in a candy store when more were released. Then when the Keyfax Phatboy was released, I was in heaven. A lot of software, hardware, and MIDI controllers have made their way into the market since then, and things have gotten far more advanced. But I still love the simplicity of ReBirth and the fact that it's still capable of making some good jams. I still have it installed on one of my old PCs. But since I bought an iPad 2 years ago, it's even better to have it all in a compact portable format with touch screen controls.
I never thought back in 1997 that I'd be using the same software almost 20 years later on a portable device. Hell, we used to lug desktop PCs around back then to have jams and do live gigs. So it's still pretty fascinating how things have evolved. ReBirth is still one of my favorites. But since Gadget was first released, it became the main reason for buying an iPad. I still enjoy ReBirth and end up spending a couple of hours with it every time I use it. So that says a lot when Gadget is capable of much more. I'm still hoping for Link to be added to ReBirth, and more mods would be even better.
Different Drummer....but most of you already knew that. I just figured out how to get Mainstage to accept multitimbral input from DD, so you guys might not see me for a while
Caustic 3. So fun that i have a cigarette after its all done.
how?
Auria!
It isn't intuitive at all. You have to add a keyboard (on the layout screen) for each midi channel you want, and then assign a different midi channel to each. From there, go to the edit screen, select a track, go to the midi inout tab, and choose a keyboard (midi channel) for each track. I named each of the keyboards C1-C16 to keep track of what midi channel they were assigned to.
Forgot to add....I was using wifi for network midi.
You should try playing bass for forty years, my hands are like a couple of tractors.
NanoStudio.
I don't keep a lot of music apps around, but of those I do it'd be ThumbJam.
Nanostudio. I get more done with it than any other app and quickly.
given time with the new sampler ED will be mine too. wasn't sure how to rate 'the most fun'... peak or time? etc
I have the most fun while playing a physical instrument, so any app that captures that without too much fuss. Currently using Audioshare, but it varies. Single most fun instrument app has been Figure.
Got to be said that NS doesn't generally get the respect or press it probably deserves, even at this point. I dug it out the other day for the first time in a long while and was reminded how terrific it is at what it does terrifically. I don't know whether another version is ever really going to be on the cards (hope so), but it would have some way to go to meet the quality the developer first brought to the table. A hall of fame piece of kit in iOS terms I think.
Samplr
Yeah NanoStudio is special, I always make something good and enjoy doing it with NS
Gotta be Gadget for me (shock horror).
But Figure was great fun before Gadget came out and it's what got me hooked.
Honourable mentions to:
Animoog
Thumb/drum jam
AUM/Audioshare
Samplr
Etc...
Auria by a country mile. But when it comes to an instrument, it's amazing how many tracks the M3000 has snuck its way on to.
Honorable mention to @gil's most excellent Tin Pan Rhythm.
Gadget for sure, but I'd be remiss if I didn't mention TC-11 or ThumbJam. Always a treat.
Auria is my second choice...
But, there's too much fun and joyful music apps nowadays... We're really spoiled!
Songtree , an app for coworking and collaborating (there is an include sequencer )...Why playing Alone with his toy ?
impossible question. so many fun apps in the play pen
I agree, it was the app that made me ditch the computer when I first got a 3GS many moons ago and like you say, it does what it's supposed to do very well and without a glitch.
I'm sure the new version is well underway and knowing Matt, he wouldn't put it out if it wasn't bang on.
Deffo a hall of famer for me too.
Having said all that, I'm drifting back towards knobs and buttons at the mo and the Pad is only being used as a recorder, effect unit and mastering solution. Hopefully Nano 2 will grab me by the scruff of the neck and give me a bloody good shake
Nanostudio.
