iOS App(s) for Live Performance: Can This Be Done
I mostly perform violin at weddings with other live musicians, but I'd like to experiment doing a "solo" act accompanied by sequenced tracks.
To make this work, I would would need it to be:
- iPad based and able to display synchronized notation for the solo part
- Capable of generating realistic, high quality synthesized sounds
- Controllable hands free, perhaps via bluetooth pedal
- Able to generate an fadeout on the fly, when it's time to end one song and begin another
- Optional: transmit an audio signal via bluetooth to my Fishman Loudebox Amp
Does anything like this actually exist? Someone mentioned Multitrack Studio for iOS as a possible candidate. Is there a way to stop a sequence by fading it at a random time? Is there another/better option? Note: I like to travel light: iPad, small amp and violin.
Thank You!

I don’t know if anything that can do all of that. The synchronized notation is kinda throwing it off. Loopy Pro might be great for everything else. It has a free 7 day trial if you want to see how it works for you.
It doesn’t have built in synth sounds but no DAW is gonna be as high quality as a standalone AU synth anyway. Nanostudio and Logic maybe, but I’m not sure those would work for you anyway. So it’d be better to find one you like that can be loaded inside whatever you choose.
If you are playing in realtime, you are almost certainly going to want to use wired audio and not Bluetooth. Bluetooth audio has a lot of latency.
You might want to consider something like a MacBook with MainStage for less cobbling of things together.
On iOS there are apps such as Camelot Pro, KeyStage, and Setlist manager that might do the job, but be ready for some chewing gum and sealing wax to hold things together.
Bluetooth audio seems like it would be unworkable due to latency, but if you've already used it with your amp, maybe you're able to deal with more most people can. Many, but not all, iOS apps do have support for Bluetooth audio out though.
Loopy Pro is great and has great support for the features you'd like at a macro level but not bundled all together. Lots of people gig with it live. You could put something together to cover all the bases with it, but you'd need to be up for experimentation to put it all together and customize things for your purposes.
