I like you workflow ideas. I should have bought the samplers when they were on special. Will wait again.
Maybe i have another one..... or 2.... Music IO and MIDI LE USB! Have not tested the other one(s) which should do the same. This little apps let me do now everything i wanted... and this without additional interface. The best i also can charge the iPhone/iPad while using it! This finally morphs my touch devices in the greatest MIDI controllers, especially with apps like ThumbJam (which i should mention itself as maybe the best value in long time use i had in my whole iOS story), SoundPrismPro and a few others. I´m just amazed how great this works together... FINALLY!!
I get down own my knees for those developers officially.
Thank you!!!
I love gadget, but I have to say that the two samplers are disappointing to me. Especially the loop one, but I guess they just don't fit what I like to do. I understand them, but I haven't found too much use. If anyone has some cool videos on how they use them I'd love to see them, maybe it will spark an idea.
@mrufino1 It's the old taste of honey thing; five seconds is just too damn short.
iStrobosoft and Bias/JamUp Pro
Cubasis Fx 1,2 packs:
quality effects dramatically improving sounding with automation straight within Cubasis
I have not found Auria to be that kind of conveniences and efficiencies
@Kaikoo May I introduce to my two friends Ms. Fab and Ms. Filter. They're not cheap dates, but they can do a number of elegant and supple things within Auria if you're willing to leave your money on the mantle....
ya! I have Fab Pro G
but I can immediately plug IAA synth with Cubasis fx1 and 2 within a second, I feel so complex Auria interface, definitely not for amateurs.
I just did a trance pluck by using Nave with Cubasis stereo delay, Gee! this is what I like so much.
I think the only problem of Cubasis is the piano roll midi sequencer. If that is good enough, I will not search any other Daw to substitute.
+1 on Cubasis. I can't get, why are there so few apps with piano roll - so I can (and have to) live with the limitations and bugs of the editor in Cubasis. Gadget is really nice and makes a lot of fun, but I don't think, it can do anything much better than cubase but vice versa. It is only the pretty gui with nice nobs and front-plates, which makes it special to me.
If Cubasis get good piano roll + Korg Gadget IAA. Ha! holy grail!
Sorry - something went wrong with quoting above.
I would like to add, that the midi-learn function in Gadget is really nice.
I think strategically speaking within the apps that Korg should allied with Steinberg to merry Gadget with Cubasis. Totally not quite useful with Ableton Live. Wrong!
@Kaikoo +1 for your enthusiasm. I don't share it, but I envy it
Midimux as it loads and works on my oldest and newest devices plus my mac and hardware synths.
I've just been looking at details of that one...interesting...
While not an app, I must say the Akai Synthstation 25 that I picked up for $15 absolutely shattered my expectations. It works flawlessly with nanostudio and sunrizerxs.
As far as apps go (and related to the SS25), midibridge is my choice. I was hesitant at first due to the price, but it allows me to use the SS25 and my SS49 they way they should've been designed. What's more impressive is the support from the developer. He personally help me set up the app within a day of me asking.
Somewhat inspired by your mention above of The Ongoing Sax Credibility Test (this one's from ifretless, but the rest of the track is pretty much The Gadg and then into Auria...)
That is extremely cool. Best thing yet IMO.
Gadgets used please?
So many great sounds as well as as the sax. For example what's the "ooh ah, ooh wah"? Vocal sample or Gadget?
Also the bowed instrument sound at 0.37 - I love that. Which Gadget please?
I need to do some serious sound idea stealing
. And maybe get iFretless sax (although I really don't understand iFretless Guitar which I have - not being a Guitar player).
@Matt_Fletcher_2000 Thanks Mister Matt. It's all a bit depressing (or maybe revealing) that the 'best' stuff (for me) seems to always be 'first thought, best thought' little projects that I don't think about too much and get done in an hour or two.
This was mostly carried out via the gadget samplers. And actually used Abu Dubai (loop 12/deep sine kit) for the bassy/bowed sound (if we're listening to the same thing). I find it a good tool for things that skitter off the normal path, which for me is important. Don't have the musical talent to reinvent things within the more typical structures etc. Used Bilbao for a few samples, a drum loop. The vox sample is from Novation, which I don't really like as a tool, but I copied up a bunch of sounds a while back and use them as condiments when cooking.
So I had a listen again. Without the video.
It's really good. It feels like there's a kind of intro, chorus, verse there and I really wanted the beat/chorus to come back in again at the end with some variation / crescendo.
I think you should work on it some more. It's got lots of legs.
The start sounds like Word Up by Cameo to me. Not a bad thing!
It's really fresh and funky sounding. The trumpet is great. As are the various pads.
@Matt_Fletcher_2000 Hmmm. Good/interesting comments. I think I'm going to have to think about putting the video editor down at some point. I have been working with it to learn Premiere, which I've made a lot of progress with, but I am finding I'm getting closer to putting music to the pictures, rather than thinking about the shape of the music alone. Understandable. And all good, but only by ignoring the vid (after your example) do I see the idea of drums coming back/better shape etc.
Of course that would need special dispensation from The Committee of Me because this piece is 1.58 long already and that's about as much as my attention span I'm licensed for
.
Thanks again for you input. I appreciate it.
+1 Very George Michael thing ( Free - Older ) for me. HeHe! Anyway, I like it!
While we’re on the topic of video editing, and if I may cheat a bit and pick a non iOS app: Apple Motion. Considering it’s only about a sixth of the price of Final Cut Pro X, I found it impenetrable at first then one day I just fell in and saw it from the inside. The complicated looking things are actually simple, and the simple-seeming things are phenomenally deep. If anything, in my opinion, Apple should switch over the pricing of FCPX and Motion.
And now back to iOS stuff:
CS grain, so weird and nutters. Also turnado with its crazy advanced fx. Oh and geosynth! Synth X and Cantor. So great with midi out to animoog! I can solo on those apps like a champ, and the expression is great. I can;t do the microtonal stuff but its a neat idea.
Oh and voice synth! It is the best vocoder and silly auto tune app! HA, I love laughing at myself singing into that damn thing. Get all emotional with the pop hit vocalist that I am .
Dear Mr. Goodyear, I could have written just the same myself. I do think, though, that there's a quality in this, too ( apart from the "depressing" bit). I also like the sounds you post, and the pictures with them. They're fresh the way they are, and me personally wouldn't be too happy to see them being much more "produced", if you know what Ahmsayin... , keep'em coming, dude!
@animal I appreciate the encouragement. I truly do. My instinct is that without it on an occasional basis we end up 'flattening out' and heading towards the mean, not consciously, but anyway.
I don't tend to do that with poetry because I've been at it long enough that I know what I'm after (even if I don't always know where I'm going
, but with music it's pretty easy to slide off towards a little bit more technical knowledge when what's needed sometimes is a little bit more heart and soul (for me anyways).
To answer the OP and thread in general, and after a little bit more thinking about it: Egoist.
Nice vid/tune - very slick and professional looking/sounding.
I bigged Egoist up quite a bit on here, but have hardly used it in the last few months. I think it has such a distinctive sound/feel that I try and avoid using it too much, to stop my stuff sounding samey. I still like it, it's a great app, but just haven't really used it. Maybe I'll revisit...
I have been using Tera Synth and I must have blown countless hours tinkering with it trying to build a new interesting syth sounds. I really like it. But maybe its a personal preference, I usually dont like presets very much. Its really tweakable. If anyone has any recommends on anything similar that is more tweakable --- post away.
I found the Tera Synth too much to tweakable. It just personal flavour! PPG Wavegenerator is tweakable.
@monzo I hear you. I fell into a hot season of limerance with Egoist. Struggled with it technically, applied myself, sussed it out (mostly), and then fell into a dull trench or maybe (mixing my geological self) reached a plateau. Put it to one side. BUT I did get it out again in the past few days and realized that as a condiment rather than a meal itself it can make a beautiful lipstick-on-the-pig special sauce and, after all pork is my specialty.
