AUM and Ruismaker Rozeta...
StepPolyArp and LK Matrix - not new but been getting much deeper into both.
BeatHawk started me out big, BM3 continued it. Now am Team Koala 🐨 it’s just so handy I even use it as a voice notes recorder
AUM.
LK.
Launchpad.
Koala.
PaulxStretch.
And now, after a long hiatus, miRack.
I’m terms of just sheer productivity over the years, I’d have to say Ampify’s Groovebox. Being able to so quickly sketch ideas on my phone where ever I was, and not having to worry about actually entering notes if I didn’t want to, hugely influential for me. It was the basis for a LOT of my songs, even if I ended up managing or replacing the sounds once back in the studio and using Live.
Scaler 2 has pushed my music in directions that would otherwise never have happened. My aim is complete songs and Scaler won’t do that on its own - it’s about collaboration between the app and the human!
Gadget tortoise that there were a whole bunch of scales with funny names, so I used them
Years later, Logic Pro X tortoise that those weren’t scales, they were mostly modes
SunVox, FLSM, iMPC Pro 2
Tardigrain
Animoog
Samplr

Experiment and improvise with audio/midi.
Start with blank slates
Embracing audio recording and destructive looping.
Not wasting time on complex template setups or trying to record for total recall.
Being able to start and end anywhere because of it.
Hmmm, let's see, which app am I using today? Yup, that one is helping me for sure.
Using AUM as a canvas for modules so I can paint with sound
GR-16, Korg Gadget, Drambo... in chronological order
If we’re going chronological, OctaMED, Cakewalk, Rebirth, Acid, Pro tools, Generator/Reaktor, Fruity Loops, Tuareg, whatever that original freeware granular thing was, Granulab? Then a big gap until AUM, Mononoke, Mozaic, Dixie, Gauss.
I’m still trying to feel inspired in Ableton, slowly it’s growing on me - I just did a whistle stop demo of a few others and realised how simple and intuitive it is in comparison…
This is an excellent thread.
For me, Tonaly. It got me into the idea of trying to make music. Riffler then cemented that because the rock riffs aspect motivated me.
I don't think I'm a good musician, still need to learn lots, but I feel like I've improved from where I was.
I do think that the theory apps have helped me though. Pensato, Tonaly, Tonality, Scaler 2.
I haven’t seen Ableton Note mentioned on this thread! I have lots of answers really, but Note has been great at getting me out of a “programming” workflow and into more of a performance mode, and that combined with the random presets has made for some interesting results for me.
Its Beepstreet Drambo for me. The app opened up a whole new genre of my music.
AUM and Drambo. I never purchased Loopy Pro. Am I totally missing out on something I shouldn’t be?
Pure acid got me back to electronic music
Drambo got me into modular.
Jeez I can’t believe I forgot to say drambo, the app that will eventually end it all. Just ubiquitous now, part of my language and made me buy elektron gear that I would never have otherwise considered…
Definitely not my most used app, but I never understood sound design/Synthesis until I got Drambo, and had to put a synth together one piece at a time.
Every time I sit down now with Wotja I wind up creating something I like. Every time.
It took a while for me to grok it, but damn it's a deep and powerful tool for creating music.
If ambient/experimental is your thing, then you're missing out if you haven't gotten to know Wotja
Loopy - Jimmy Falcon video got me CURIOUS
Thumbjam - got me really thing with the amount of FUN i was having
Soundprism, Figure - made me fall in LOVE with IOS music making
Garageband,Audiobus - then i wanted record stuff, cue in GB and Audiobus
Special Mention - Korg Gadget,Lumbeat Apps , Holderness Apps
how do you use GB and audiobus? I don't haev audiobus, can you record from GB to audiobus?
I was answering the question, apps that sparked creativity
You use AU apps in GB , GB can only used as output in Audiobus
Piano Motifs is the best discovery I've made from this thread so far, thanks @lukesleepwalker
I’m a fan of Note myself, may not have the most robust feature set but it’s definitely fun. I’m assuming you just add a track and go with whatever sound it gives you? I’ll have to try that approach, usually I start diving through the preset menus.
Oh, right on! It's a fantastic resource so happy to spread the word.
Piano Motifs, especially in its new auv3 incarnation is just one of the best value for money apps you can buy on iOS. Top shelf!
I kinda like Piano Motifs for a guitar lead. Piano Motifs driving GeoShred and Riffler play very well together, IMO.
