Do you want more sounds in your iPad synths and beat machines?
Myself and a few other sound designers and composers have started a new company were we make custom user presets for IOS synthesizers and beat machines. We are going through the countless hours of figuring out how to accomplish some of the more intricate synth and Apples limitations on the OS. Each kit or preset pack will come with a video on how to install your new sounds and samples. We would like to know while we are in development what apps or beat machines you guys would like custom kits and presets for. We are still in the early stages as I am working on the website as we speak. On launch day we are trying to have over 30 custom kits ad patches and presets for apps like
iMini
iProphet
iSem
Beatmaker 3
Lyra (Auria Pro)
Model 15
Addictive Synth
bs-i16
Cube Synth
FM4
Laplace
Lorentz
Magellan
Mersenne
EHX mini Synth
Nanolog
Phazemaker
Poseidon
TF7 Synth
Thor
Xenon
and more to be announced...........
Please let us know what you think and is you have any suggestions here thanks

My suggestion, for what it's worth, is to focus on a few synths and see if it's possible to convince the dev to sell your sounds as IAPs. Even after they and apple take their cut, I'm pretty confident you'll make more money (because you'll reach more people who can buy your sounds with a couple of taps).
Animoog (including custom Timbres!)
Your suggestion is awesome and We are already in the process but its seems hard to get to hear back from them. We are also thinking of an iPad app store with open in features.
I could always use more Nave, personally. I love the way it does creamy melodic stuff but cant program that synth well myself
My vote goes to TC-11. Cause who the hell wants to program that? Most boring programming experience imo. Amazing sounds and possibilities though.
Awesome thanks for your feed back
Find one, badger them, keep at it, do well and the others will be more receptive I'm sure...
LOL We are working on that one as well. We just had this conversation yesterday
Yes sir lol Im trying that tactic as well. To be honest I dont think they like our ideal of being the first and only iPad synth and beat pack store. I think We need it bad
There have been others (namely Sunsine) but the jump from desktop download and credit card out to import onto iOS is a lot to ask of us incredibly spoiled brats.
I actually spent a while considering something like this and have one idea you might pursue (since I'm never going to!). Make a presets app. Sell preset packs for various iOS synths as IAPs from within the app and make use of iOS's 'Open In' to butter up the user experience. Give a few free presets (and/or samples) away every week to make sure people open your app semi-regularly (which means the free stuff can't suck). Lots of apps support this concept (opening their preset types via open in) but not all do. You can test this out via Audioshare or Dropbox.
Wonderful!

Here's an idea I'll throw out there because I think it would be amazing but have no idea how to go about doing it myself. It might be a bit like what you're talking about. Similar to frameworks such as Audiobus and Link, I think there should be a common API or SDK or whatever that would allow linking to a central respository that could include paid and/or user-generated content for iOS music apps like patches, presets, expansions, even mods? More or less a subscription service that lets you contribute and expand your iOS synths and other music apps. Haven't thought it through much more than thinking how nice it would be to have access to lots of new sounds...but do what you will with that..
Thats what I was thinking was the best approach thanks for your input
We were also thinking of having a user free bank as well for members to share kits patches and presets. The run around we have come up, is apps that originally allowed for seamless import of Mac or PC version sadly do not do as advertised. So the team and I are finding workarounds for this and making it easier for the end IOS user. That is our goal
Mmm, a central ipad preset store thingamajig sounds sweet! Maybe it could be wired into AB? Feed people presets like blocs packs! Yum!
Yes Sir
Good. I consider this meeting concluded. The Board approves. Please go ahead and execute this project at your earliest convenience!
By the weekend would be most apreciated.
To be honest, I'd rather pay $1-2 for a preset pack from my phone with zero overhead than I would deal with downloading the same pack for free on my computer and dealing with iTunes, etc. a long way to say, there are lots of free packs out there already, the authors of which might be interested in monetizing. And also, there is value to be extracted from providing the service alone.
Well said sir
Maybe my developer needs to try a browser based option to open in from the website. I dont know if thats possible but I would love that as an option based on everyones feedback. This would be a killer way to import sounds from the web.
There's an app like this called Audio Elements (likely abandoned, last update as you'll see from link was 2014 Audio Elements by WAVEFORMS
https://appsto.re/us/jk0EH.i)
It was mostly sample and loop banks, but I did purchase a bank of Sunrizer synth presets through it as well. Easy peasey
I have this app. I thought it was a great ideal but they dropped the ball. It could have been so much more. I did the same but it was only like two packs and I want a ton of options from kits and presets made for specific apps like BM3's instruments, 16 pad kits and 64 pad kits. Loading up a kits with an ascetic layout. Kicks will all ways be a color hi hats will all ways be a color making it easier to use newly loaded kits and generally placed in the same location each kit. Similar to Maschine 2 from Native Instruments on the desktop. Arturia left us in the dust with import export options, We plan on fixing that and offering preset packs for iMini iProphet and iSem done in the correct format. The end user will appreciate everything not in his personal user bank lol. Our preset banks will show up as factory banks just like the ones from Arturia.
I miss that app. Was a gateway drug etc. They had a good notion, but dropped off the map. Still look at it sometimes and wish it still worked...
I like the sound of this. A man with a plan. Color me pre-sold.
Im all In on IOS production at this point. I love it and I want to spread the word. You can do a lot on an ipad pro most producers cant do in a studio your paying to be in. Thsy have all the gear but cant use it. Ive used model 15 app from moog alot. You put a real Model 15 or 55 in front of one Im right at home. If more people took that approach IOS Music production will be looked at as real production not rent a cop production lol. I want It to eventually be an oped platform for us a musicians and artist. We keep the app store alive. No other apps drive the prices we pay for apps or in apps purchases. Im $300 deep in Auria Pro alone
I'd go for Dhalang MG presets, also a bunch of MidiFlow lanes with all the re maps, translations set up etc, iSpark presets, Cream, SunVox, Parat+, Sound/FieldScaper
Is this possible with iOS rules? Specifically, buying from the web and installing on the device? I guess it'd be like doing any sort of paypal->zip reveal. Hmm, even if so, a web site based version can't use the saved app store payment info and can't use alerts ("new free pack today!").
Maybe they'll sell/license you the source code.
Love this kind of talk.
You might already know this but a lot of drum apps use a very simple "folder of samples + a text file" format for their kits. Nanostudio and Beatmaker, for instance, are xml+samples and are so similar that it's pretty trivial to convert one to another with a few simple find and replace operations in a text editor. Hopefully, you can make 16 sample kits and have your developer write a script to generate various formats automagically. They might take a little hand tweaking to make them as nice as it sounds like you're aiming to but would still save you a bunch of time (and expand the formats available to customers).
100 years ago I made a web app that helped to make Nanostudio TRG kits. http://luktown.org/random/trg/ If you drop some samples onto the screen, choose 'text only' on export, you can get a glimpse of the xml format without bothering with the full download. You can grab some BM2 kits here to check the similarity. http://www.ibeatmaker.com/bmk/display.php
Glad you're going for this.
I like the idea of an app with "open in" functionality and the occasional small freebie. That seems like a thing I might use. And I'm not typically a buy presets type of guy.
