Your first infinite-resolution knob-twist (or general music gear-journey)
It was a warm summer in a sweaty collective kitchen, seven years or so ago. The package had finally arrived, I was getting my first really analogue synth, a Moog Mother 32. After fiddling with the most obtuse sequencer ever, reading the pdf manual off a broken phone screen while drinking, smoking and talking shit it finally began bleeping. And bleep it did. I told my company to leave and washed my hands after rolling another joint. I will never forget the feeling of that creamy filter through the stereo. Bloops were had. Swipes, running across universe edges were made. The very short but perceptually important reduction in lag between action and sound. I was in love.
Two years later I sell off my last hardware piece of the 10 000 EUR studio, leaving me with an iPad, Gadget and the two Korg -Nano-whatever-Studio controllers. This was in 2017, right when AUs and Files came out, and I worked alot in Cubasis 2. Now I use an Ipad Pro, SP 404 MKII, generic midi keyboard with aftertouch and many lovely apps within AUM, recently slimmed down.
Just got my first new physical synth after being more rational and in the box for five years. Was gifted a card that yielded a mint Korg Monotribe, a dirty but cool monosynth they call a 'Ribbon Station' - it has one of those Monotron-esque ribbons that suck, but a very good onboard sequencer that more than makes up for the note input bit, since mini-anythings are a no-go for my ape hands. The envelope is clicky and very limited, along with mostly every other aspect of this unit. But the build is (almost) Moog-level, with proper knobs and a metal enclosure. I can throw this into the hands of my two-year old without a worry, which is part of my reason for getting it. Great battery life and okay built-in speaker makes this my first ever re-purchase/-gift.
I don't know where this is going - am i hooked again? Will small electronic boxes clog my life up, financially and spatially? I can easily throw too much into quality used gear because it keeps or often increases its value, so in the long run it's about the same or less than upgrading the iPad at least every five years, with cables and stuff. Nope. I will get this one piece of stuff, along with the about 350 EUR in apps and not buy anything new unless really gamechanging stuff comes around. Last thing I got was Mariana, replacing Lowtone (just bass-wise, Lowtone gets to stay).
Logic for iOS is my next experiment in workflow and my main reason for registering here, but I'm waiting for that real x.1 update because I found it unstable in my trials. It doesn't seem too popular around here, and I can see why. How is it for latency on vocal chains on a 2021 Ipad? Will soon make a Soundcloud account and participate with more than all these words, thanks for reading if you did and hello all!

Welcome! My music journey has been a long and winding road with many pitstops and not many stories. Glad you’re here!
Latency depends on so many factors…a complicated calculation. But I would think that other parameters have more of an effect than Logic would. And I’m pretty sure there is a low latency mode/button you can use (desktop has it).
