Roughly half of the tracks in my projects are SWAM instruments. I use a Tecontrol breath controller to control multiple instrument parameters in real time, at the same time using Velocity Keyboard to play notes (also controlling a few parameters in SWAM as well). This is by far the most expressive way I’ve found to play SWAM instruments, and I use it in every project. Logic does not currently allow a breath controller and a midi effect (velocity keyboard) at the same time. I believe this is a bug, but in Logic, auv3 instruments only respond to one of these at a time, not both.
To be clear, first, what do you mean with Velocity Keyboard?
External MIDI keyboard? Onscreen keyboard in Logic Pro?
How do you connect everything (if it's an external keyboard)?
Is it a bug or by design (bad)?
SWAM is fantastic!
Velocity Keyboard is a software midi controller, very similar to GeoShred.

I’ve been playing around with Logic, and the bug is not just with my breath controller. I’m getting the same behavior with multiple different hardware controllers, used with an auv3 instrument and a midi effect.
Can you mention a setup that doesn't work (external controllers and which AUv3 app)?
I have a lot of different controllers that I can test here, but, I'm on iPad OS 17, so that can changed things (to the better hopefully)...
@ErrkaPetti I created a new topic, so as not to highjack this thread.

If you’re a bank doing business with a SaaS software vendor hosting on AWS, you’ll do due diligence but will most concern yourself with the SaaS vendor properly configuring the hosting. They can’t really assess or ask for remediations from the big hosting companies or “market utilities.”
This is indeed my field.
It really is analogous to using Logic. Apple is the “house” and the Auv3 publishers are players at the table. They play by the house rules, even if the house changes those rules seemingly capriciously.
An interesting question indeed. At a 100 units, let alone 150, I would not have gone anywhere near it. It offers me way less value, both in general (as in, I’m not prepared to pay that much for an iOS app, especially for one with no trial) and specifically (I have logic Mac, thank you).
We all have our economical reasons or limitations, but, for me, 258 dollar on Pianoteq 8 is nothing, compairs what kind of joy I have from that app…
If I would choose between subscription and purchase LP4i for 200 dollar (like Mac version), I definitely go for subscription…
Same. At that price point I probably would’ve kept on with C3 and Zenbeats. At least until a few updates in on Logic.
Pianoteq is 100% worth the money. I’m saving right now to upgrade to Standard as I only have Stage license.
I recently upgraded Pianoteq 8 from Stage to Standard, great update!
I mostly want it to be able to adjust mic positions and tweak the parameters. The piano sound will just be a big plus haha. It’s hard to go back to samples pianos after using that. Doesn’t standard include morphing/layering as well?
It does, and morphing can be really cool
I decided to opt out of LP4i yearly sub at almost the last minute. In the month I’ve spent with it, I’d not got anywhere near close to really using it. So, although I was very tempted, there’s about a hundred other apps that I should spend some quality time with before reconsidering opting into a subscription model like that for the first time. Even though I think that it’s fair value for money, it’s the thought of paying for it while I’m NOT using it that troubled me 🍻
In the same way, that’s the advantage of the monthly subscription - pay when you/we use it and decide to unsubscribe when it’s holidays or other periods when it’s appropriate to avoid it…
Absolutely, but for me personally, that would result in feeling forced to use it within that month, and that, for me, is a sure fire way to remove all motivation to want to do so.
I do think it’s corny that an update didn’t come out in advance of the first month. Even a mere content update would have been low hanging fruit
Yep... I decided not to renew my logic sub. I'll play it by ear and see if they improve some of the things that are personal priorities for me. As it is I already have more apps than I know what to do with, and I need to be very careful with money at the moment. I will stick with AUM, which is a good enough playground in which to use those other apps and maybe finally get round to learning Loopy Pro properly, also might start dipping into Apematrix a bit more.
where's that poll gone?
Who knows, we might get a ‘thank you for subscribing’ bonus
I skipped on my renewal as well. Gonna keep an eye on it and see where it goes, but like you, I’m still all in on AUM. And I still prefer C3 and Zenbeats for DAW things right now.
I’ve been trying to learn Loopy Pro more as well. It’s a lot but it’s really fun. You can get some crazy loops going pretty fast. I never used ApeMatrix though. How is it?
My trial period ends on the 27th, and it’s still up in the air for me. Apple has made a pretty smart decision in their pricing. It’s low enough that they can rake in a lot of cash on the indecision of people like me, on top of the income they’re certainly getting on the strength of the product itself, and particularly its reputation from the desktop.
But I don’t use it. It has a lot of nice features, but so far nothing that compels me to load it instead of anything else. Of course that’s true for a lot of things on this iPad, that I keep around “just in case.” And I know that at some point soon I’m going to have to get into stem mixing, solo tracking, even mastering. But then again, I already have cubasis, and maybe that’ll do.
So. Maybe. I dunno. But at the moment, it’s not looking like a strong candidate.
Well, I definitely prefer aum in general but having the hi res built in modulation system in apematrix is pretty phenomenal. It's also possible that I just prefer aum as I'm more used to it, but it does have some of its own advantages when it comes to things like simultaneously recording individual tracks. I have really used apematrix very little so am not the best person to ask
Totally. I have the year subscription
I understand that Logic Pro ain’t everyone choise when it comes to music making.
But, no other app is selfcontained the way Logic Pro is made - you can manage everything without external instruments, external AUFX, external MIDI FX, external sound library etc etc…
No other app has this on iPad - Cubasis, BM3, AUM, MTS, AES, Loopy Pro, NS2, Zenbeat don’t…
I didn’t realize you could record all individual tracks simultaneously. Can you also export the stems?
Well all you have to do is arm record on any channel you want to record. If you want to record the total mix just send each stem channel to a mix bus channel and record the mix bus. A recording for any channel you arm for record before pressing the master record in the transport will be saved to the recordings for that aum session.
Was on the fence about LP4i but this morning I realized that collecting iOS DAWs brings me joy. I’m in. I cook beats everyday to relax mostly on BM3 and Koala. LP4i is just a new way for me to chase the sound. 🚀
