Interesting! Not heard of these on desktop before. Wonder what the pricing will be. Would love this in iPad however have Amplesound and the two Kontakt Session guitarists on desktop so wouldn't dosh out much for the convenience.

Speaking off, I wonder if we'll ever see Kontakt on iPad?

MusicLab on iOS/iPadOS, great!
Native Instruments Kontakt on iOS/iPadOS, no, never, no way, will ever never happen...

NI is totally uninterested of the mobile platforms...

I don’t know if you can say that …imaschine was here, just saying.

Which they lost interest in a long time ago and eventually dumped. Can’t really see them wanted to go back to iOS based on their record so far.

Just like reason studios they brought something half cooked, and about 1/10 strength and expected everyone to oooo and ahhhh over it….Even beathawk was better than Imaschine. You can’t come to a platform where independent developers are making fantastic apps and drop a majorly weak version of your platform and expect people will clamor aboard. Look if reason would have came to iOS fully and gave you 3-4 of the basics and made the rest of the rack buy ala gadget style…people would have been all in. But we got figure and reason compact wow…all whilst there was caustic 3 and Korg gadget…the latter of which was cooking up…and then reason even dropped a dang octarex gadget in it…wtf? As a flex. Before that they dropped full on THOR…just wasn’t an auv3…cuz if it was it would still be in my iPad. Let’s call it what it is…they didn’t see the iPad as a thing that was going to stay, sad, because the desktop is what is going to eventually go away…it’ll be the laptop first…then the desktop. Then what? Well they will die…or come aboard I reckon.

Mark my words…the mobile platform will be here when the laptops and desktops are no more…it’s evolution
And Apple will unveil the iPad Pro ultra soon with m3 and 14.1” display…
So the line is getting harder to see.

That would be great and I agree with a lot of this but I don’t see apple cannibalizing their products just yet. In a few years that could definitely be the case though.

I agree with you. it’s not going to be immediate…

I wish it would be but I just don’t see it within the next 5 years. I’d love to be proven wrong though.

Not only did NI under develop iMaschine, they actually went as far as to cripple it by disabling core IOS features such as core MIDI! Who does that? smdh

This didn't release yet, or did it? I couldn't find anything about it online.

What is "super delayed" code for?

More than likely "Never gonna happen"

Per an email response I received from Music Lab in April regarding an IOS port:"unfortunately, no new updates are available at the moment".

This is great news! Finally, a set of capable guitar instruments on iOS.

Have you tried of desktop? If so how are they? I’m looking forward to this honestly.

They're quite good and compact.
If I had to choose by size and to save storage space, it would be MusicLab guitars.
If I had to choose by sound and playability (well, I'd better say programmability 😄) then it's AmpleSound.
My personal choice is AmpleSound on desktop but they eat between 4 and 8 GB of storage per instrument. That riff editor and the available choice of articulations is really good and they also offer excellent bass guitars, again with enough articulations to build a decent riff.

That's not to say either is bad. The Musiclabs seem to be very popular and they've been refined over the years too.

If you don't want to invest enough time and patience to program riffs in general then I'd recommend a guitar loop library, ideally a sliced one that can be tweaked a lot more easily.
I've used guitar riff REX files in Gadget a lot and although limited to what's in the loops, they work quite well and are much more fun to use quickly. Building a decent riff in MusicLab or AmpleSound takes time. And if you mainly rely on pre-made riffs then why not just use loops anyway 😉

I have a lot of desktop guitar VST’s. I find if I start by putting some random notes in a piano roll I can usually come up with a killer riff in 5 minutes.

Damn. I thought this was a new thread. Sounds like it’s on the same timeline as Riffler midi input (Namm 2023).
