It was NanoStudio on an iPod touch. I also got the Akai Synthstation 25 and so i was a proud owner of a sort of mini workstation. I think, this saved my life somehow, because i was very sick about months and it gave my lots of joy during a long stay in a hospital.
Technobox in March 2009, looks to still be available but never got any connectivity?
No Audio Export either?
AudioCopy (Generic Pasteboard) was quite frequently by many apps back then.
When you have something 'copied' in the clip-board you can 'paste it' in AudioShare or to Files.app as a new file and add an extension (.wav etc.).
I won't be re-installing it just to check
Great to hear your story. I came back to music after an eye operation and the subsequent numerous things that went wrong which meant I didn’t much leave the couch for a while. It coincided with the lockdown. My iPad was definitely my route into a life during that time. I will always be grateful. I’m not so bad now but still hooked on my music making which has become my main interest/hobby 🤜🤛
Might have been ThumbJam. Still using it, from time to time.
Update: Nope, it was Animoog.
Not bad for your first two forays into iOS. Both are excellent apps imo.
Thanks! It actually took me quite a bit of thinking before I decided to buy them. Back in the days when 3 USD per app was A LOT for me. LOL
Haha. I did the same for about a dozen apps in the hope I would one day own an iPad. Seemed a long way off at the time.
I bought my first iPad the mini 2 in the spring of '15 right before I took a holiday in the beautiful Andalucia. First app I bought to use there has been Cubasis.
And occasionally I'm still working on the first song I recorded there with my little guitalele.
It's called Guilly Song.
Some of the midi in there has been generated with Chordbot.
There's also a quite horrible vox version (kind of distorted and way too much reverb), the vocal tracks have got lost somewhere along the way, maybe 'cause they were just horrible, dunno.
iZotope’s iDrum - miss em!
there were others, deprecated now and unavailable in Purchases (StudioHD was one, the dev Sound Trends had some cool shit, all gone now…see this review of that one https://smitematter.com/2012/05/19/studio-hd-app-review/)
you can guess from the dates, iPad model 1 was an early Xmas, late Hannukah present 2010
I’m not sure iPad can get much earlier than this!
still have it, iOS 5.4. time capsule with a few deprecated apps preserved.
Yes, I think I had Looptastic HD and StudioHD and from my memory these apps worked together. But at some point in time they were just gone from the app store.
Forgot iSequence was that old 😮 glad it got updated recently because it’s so much fun.
My second ever downloaded app on my iPhone 3G back then was music related 😄
Other milestones:
29.06.2010 - Music Studio Lite (first DAW like fiddling around)
29.06.2010 - Baby Scratch (so much fun - still on all devices) 😄
20.03.2012 - OnSong (song sheet replacement - used regular)
22.03.1012 - GarageBand
30.07.2014 - JamUp Pro (first live guitar playing with audio interface - still limited)
26.12.2017 - AUM (the beginning of a new era - amazing ambient guitar jams using EOS2 reverb and other plugins)
23.05.2023 - Logic for iPad 😋
This thread proves not only am I an old musician, I might be the oldest iOS musician. /s
Mine was TNR-i on in 2012. I didn't really use it though, I mostly used my iPad to read PDFs during grad school and play Carcassonne.
The first music apps I actually used were DM1 and ReBirth (2012), with iMS-20 soon after. But those were for light noodling. What really got me using my iPad for music was Lemur (2014). I used that for a lot of work with old synths and playing some shows. iOS for actual music creation didn't really click with me until Drambo (goodbye Octatrack), though I did use Elastic Drums some before then.
