what iPhone apps are good to jam with live?

I'm looking for apps like Spacecraft that are usable in a live setting for improv. Tera Pro is one as well. Are there others that work well and are easily playable on the iPhone (not that Tera is that easy to use on iPhone, but...)

  • Hammerhead, Hilda (all Bram Bos instruments really) and Koala

  • iKaossilator

  • You mean as instrumentalist?
    As sort of distinct from whatever we call things like step sequencing as performance, unleashing generative things, and all that? Or, both? Spacecraft is kind of hybrid in the sense of either jamming with the screen or playing your midi devices, whereas Tera Pro you are probably playing via connected device not the screen, right?

    I don't know which ones are iphone and not only ipad so apologies if I suggest wrong things, most of these you probably know as well! :

    Samplr and Tardigrain and Borderlands are all kind of screen-ey fun things, also Fluss? Maybe Animoog as mainly a synth to play, there's a ton of power in that routing matrix and its kind of fun on screen to set the cube spinning.

    As purely synth playing, other than Tera Pro, I like all the Bleass ones, I can't really say any of the others I use are better.

    It's probably super boring to say it, as there's nothing new about it, but I always immediately enjoy when playing a Mark 1 EP sound, so, pianoteq!!!! And run through whatever delays and stuff to be sort of Herbie Headhunters live in Bremen vibes

    Alongside Fluss, Silo, and Turnado and Flux.

    Loopy Pro

    I like drumcomputer for super easy step sequencing, of super flexible sound designed drums. But there's obviously way more odd weird and interesting step sequencers, Ooda, Euclidean, Fugue Machine..

    What did I forget.....

  • ThumbJam

  • Koala is cool too

    GeoShred, Animoog, Model 15

  • Geoshred for sure.

  • Novation Groovebox

  • Thanks everyone. Really appreciate these great suggestions! So many I never would have thought of. And yes, I was thinking of it as an instrumentalist primarily.

    Third on Geoshred. Borderlands.

    One of the best live performances I ever saw was @Alexandernaut performing with a one note pattern on Fugue Machine.

  • oh also actually synthmaster 2. once the sound design is done standalone, then go back to just playing it hosted in loopy pro. it's quite remarkable. that and tera pro are standout. coz when i come to any of the bleass synths i love them up to the point that i've used up both of the 2 routings for any particular expressive parameters. say in omega i'll slide (cc74) control two modulating ops volumes, then still want to do a little bit of drive, filter cut off, and resonance, but i can't coz i used both of the slide slots, whereas in sm2 everything is routable, much like a serum, pigments, vital, massive situation. and there's macros too. sm2 is on a par with those synths. the shortcoming being the interface for editing those mappings doesnt work properly in the auv3, so standalone to design, save patch, then host.

    I'm not able to download Borderlands Granular on my iPhone. It's not universal.

  • A lot of times I use the World Instrument - Erhu on Garageband, set it to scale mode, change the key to whatever the song is, and play along. It brought about a lot of unexpected collaborations.

    I don’t even bring my MIDI controllers as much anymore. The iPad/iPhone is enough.

  • Pure Acid, Mononoke, and Tardigrain are all fun to improvise with.
