New Years iOS music predictions

Happy new year to you all!
Observing the rapid progress of the iOS music app development, I’d like to offer the following predictions for 2018:
AUV3 will be the dominant feature needed for all music apps.
A simple but powerful daw will be released that hosts AUV3 and AUV3 midi. Such a daw will be easy to use, affordable, stable and able to draw fx/ panning and volume automations.
An AUV3 mastering app for iPad AND iPhone.
So it will be the year of the daw basically and all our favourite apps will be used within in.
Korg will go AUV3 with newer apps and gadget could also host them
The release of nano studio 2, but this won’t be the daw in question but a definitive all in one standalone app ( even though it will host AUV3.
iPhone music app sales rising , thus making devs see that universal in most cases makes sense.
iOS music apps becoming more accepted by the mainstream and thus increasing sales
A sampler plugin in Rozeta that will be a game changer
A generative visual app that will be even more functional than wizibel for us.
Wishful thinking on my part? Maybe..but there are 364 days of 2018 left lol

German team will wear advertising for iOS music apps on their shirts during the soccer world championship. This will increase the number of users on this forum so much, that the audiob.us forum needs a new server. :-)
Definitely yes.. with addtion that IAA (and sooner or later also Audiobus) will slowly becoming obsolete .. maybe not in this year but it's aready on way to oblivion
Problem is that simple is very hard to meet with powerfull
Powerfull means lot of features, lot of features means not so simple .. but i think it nerms of intuitive workflow (remember famous NS1 sequencer) i bet nothing will beat NS2 :-)
i bet this will not gonna hapen. at leat not this year, maybe 2019 but im in doubt ..
Don't think this year .. maybe 2019, definitely in 2020 .. iPads needs to match current top notch notebooks CPU (and RAM !) power in first place, and this will not gonna happen sooner than in 2019 ...
NS2 will be not DAW ? definitely it will be
Maybe first release will be without audio tracks but this will be in first update .. AU plugins support, advanced mixer, advanced sequencer, a hell lot of superb build in FX, synth, drum sampler, full automation on everything imaginable, but still simple intuitive workflow and classic linear DAW approach - if this is not DAW of dreams then i don't know what it is 
)))
Rozeta package is just MIDI instruments, so don't think sampler will be a part of package ..
Hoping Apple pleeeeeease just allow all apps to reference a shared sample folder! Such a simple thing but would totally change my gut feeling toward ios.
Some driven lunatic ports VCV rack and all modules to ios. Game over!
Moog add AUv3 to their older apps.
BM3 integrates rozeta style features/plugins in to itself and adds the road map expanded modulation, open resampling and all the other rumored additions.
Fabfilter and PSP unbind themselves from Auria.
Lots of desktop devs spew out ios ports of plugs for AUv3.
Arturia Buchla Easel port. Unrealistic but....
I meant that NS2 won’t be the simple yet powerful daw
By simple I mean it’s not overburdened with features like BM3 and doesn’t have its own built in stuff
It simply hosts the AUV3 and has its own midi keyboard and drum apps
One should therefore be able to manually automate movements of all kinds with the AUV3 apps themselves and that gets recorded in each track lane
In theory GB should be able to do this, I’ll have to test
As far as Rozeta goes, at present it controls audio in another apps, but @brambos would surely be able to make something that takes audio from other apps and can bounce into another??
Preset tweakers with constrainable randomisation, like Kauldron's Spawn2 and SynthScaper's Generate, will start to become a standard feature in synth apps.
Btw how do u access the preset random function in synthscaper please? @Masanga
I predict GarageBand will 'evolve' and add support for full AUv3 spec (Midi, Effects, Multi-Channel Audio, Automation & Editing). Developers do need a 'reference host' that fully supports all Core iOS Audio & Midi technologies...
iOS12 will most likely bring some improvements to the AUv3 'preset handling' and make way for shared storage areas for presets and other 'files' and hopefully iOS will finally gain full support for USB mass-storage devices, no more need for 3rd party hacks or jail-breaks to access all files on SD-Cards/External USB Devices using Apples standard CCK & SD-Card reader...
Design button => Generate. Doug has a video.
Thanks but I don’t see the design button anywhere on the iPhone version lol
Um, no, now you mention it, nor do I! The help says it's at top left on the main screen, but that's evidently referring to the iPad version. Coming soon, Igor says…
Apple will begin donating 50% of their revenue to social causes and dedicate 50% of its development towards creative niche of ios and MacOs.
Other big tech companies will follow suit because they will find making the world a better place to live more rewarding than making money.
Roland System 700 as ios app? Hope this is not asking too much. ;-)
I personally think that these huge modular emulations are more of a novelty on iOS
It takes ages of zooming and scrolling with model 15 lol
Brambos got it right though with everything on one screen
This is iOS- ui and accessibility/ intuitive layout is what’s needed lol
Lol
No chance... it is coincidental that the original AppStore logo was strickingly similar to another certain symbol?
Agree. This is one of the reasons why I use Zeeon more than M15
I also agree. I love modular synths but Model 15 is no joy to use. These synths are not made for touch screens (but i would still buy P900 iOS in a heartbeat).
But think about having different modules on different iPads and everything is connected together with no latency.
And cable patching works from one iPad to another too.
You could have a wall full of iPads
Lol, you just went from clutter on one device to a clutterful of many devices lol
Anyway, we used to use nano studio to make full tracks, why did you stop using iOS exclusively? I loved your galaxy explorer tunes
They were some of the most pro songs made on iOS
I like the iSEM AU GUI a lot. Also notice it’s featured frequently in Audio host screenshots
As great as it is/was i wanted to take it further and i couldn´t do that on iOS.
The best part in my Galaxyexplorer tracks were maybe mainly Alchemy and i don´t mean that unfriendly Garage Band version.
I still use and like iOS music apps but why should i limit me here. Some apps are outstanding but still not close enough to the quality in get out of my plug-ins. I also changed my workflow and my needs of instruments.
Even if a listener wouldn´t care.
Simple said i can´t do that stuff i do now with iOS. Even if, i don´t see a reason to do that.
I have still some of these old tracks (not much) but they really don´t sound good in terms of high fidelity FX and stuff.
I´m also on iOS 11 and so NanoStudio is gone. I might try to do some stuff again when NanoStudio 2 will come as iPhone version, which seems still a long way.
But instead of limiting myself i just use what works best for me.
IOS was my start into music creation. These days i´m more into sound design than creating music but i want to change that a bit again.
It´s like i said already, a bit like i gone from the old analog TV to my new 4K OLED TV with Ambilight.
I need (want) expressive orchestrial tools. I want really juicy, musical and easy to use synths. Zeeon is close but it´s still no Repro and P900 blows them all away (damn i love the saturated filters so much).
Another reason was exactly that "iOS music" thing which is nonsense for me since it put an OS and a brand in the focus instead of the music itself.
These days it doesn´t matter anyway since people record VST´s into BeatMaker and Machine Expansions and lable it as "100 % made on an iPad" (dramatized).
Of course i could easy made iOS only tracks on my iPhone. I mean i did tons of that on a 3.5" iPhone 4.
But again, it would be 20 steps back for me. Instead i enjoy what i all have.
I´m also too addicted of course. I spend 1000´s of bucks on it while not making a cent with it. But i just love it and as long as i can afford it i will go on and want the best i can get in terms of synths, FX, midi etc.
Another thing was that iOS productions starts to get more complicated for me and needs a lot more time than things i do on my notebook.
I also think that this will be my last iPhone since they are too expensive for me these days and next time i just take a cheap Android one. And that could push me out of iOS complete then of course.
Back in the days i bought 1-2 apps a week. Now i buy one a month maybe, use it for some hours and then it collects (virtual) dust. So i spend 10 times more on plug-ins but i use them nearly every day.
I always dreamed of tools like Bohemian Violin, Emotional Cello, U-he synths, Omnisphere Keyscape etc. and now i have them all ready to play in a few seconds.
People say they like iOS because they can have these tools ready in seconds while hanging on the couch.
Exact that is what i can do now with my notebook.
IOS and iPads/iPhones are a great thing for music but they never will replace such a full-setup.
Uhh, sorry for that long boring answer but it´s just my experience over the last years.
So "Galaxyexplorer" might come back with NS2 but nothing could me push back to an 100% iOS workflow until i don´t get my favorite tools there, more power and RAM, bigger screen and patience to connect that all.
This particular configuration of this particular synth is how I learned more about synthesis than any other way. Back when I was a teenager allocated to Australia for the years 1977/78, I’d go into Melbourne city centre whenever I could, spending the whole day in one particular music shop which had one set up just like this. At home I had the opened brochure stuck to my wall so that I could patch, in imagination, and try it out next time I occupied the shop. They must’ve loved me – hogging it all day.
I like the P900 Sequencer...
VCV rack on a Surface Pro is useable and pretty incredible.. Just some small things that need to be optimised for touchscreen..
Sweet! Good Times
Thanks for the explanation! I totally understand. It’s amazing though how iOS gave you the foundation:)
From what is this? It looks the same as in the P900 mac modular synth but still it looks not exact the same. Is it another software or customized GUI?
) would come close to this Roland beast. But it´s more like something between Model 15 and a System 55.
However the P900 Sequencer module is so great, i can´t praise it enough.
P900 indeed (which i said already was close to be on iOS
Tell me more.....i´m addicted to modular synths.....what´s missing for multi-touch there?
I hope VCV gets also more analog juice. It´s what i miss there still. Otherwise it´s a wonder....and even free!!
Its only Customer made.....I have Change the right part downwards. Was a little bit better for the iPad Screen dimension.
It's just easy fix things like the modules sliding around screen sometimes when you're actually trying to turn a knob, if you're zoomed out and slightly miss the knob. Needs a 'lock modules' setting or something. And doesn't have a great zoom/pinch functionality for touchscreen. They're the only issues really, but can get annoying sometimes.
Much prefer it on desktop and mouse but at same time would love it on iPad for portable patching and shows. Not a fan of windows for mobile music for some reason. My studio desktop is Windows but I have a weird Psychological hangup using Windows laptop or surface pro
Would much prefer an iPad version for portable for some reason??
I take it that you donate 50% of your earnings to social causes too ? Apple donate millions upon millions to every disaster relief and countless charities. They support gender equality, pay and rights for minority’s including gay and lesbian. They have set the benchmark for green technology that paves the way for other corporations to try and match, and help to steer our planet towards a more sustainable future. They may not always get it right but I’m grateful for their humanitarian efforts. Whilst also making beautiful products.
What a load of B.S.
