  • One big modular OS/system, now that's the future, no wires, only magic! iOS only? What then of guitar, singing, farting, using your imagination, are these a no go because it's not iOS. iOS is a tool, the most beautiful thing about it is the user.

    There are enough fart apps in the store ;)

    And sad that they maybe sell better than music apps!

    There's no such thing as ios music. We're merely catching up with laptops desktops etc. It's all computers anyway. Do you think writers get together in forums to start ios book writing revolution?

    I agree...at the mo it's all a journey that could take music production completely mobile but the platform has yet to realise it's full potential...

    ...and probably won't for at least 3 or 4 more generations

  • YOU WAIT ONE DAY SOMEONE WILL TYPEWRITE SOMETHING AWESOME YOU SNOBBY QUILLBENDERS!

  • I agree that it's just another tool. The only one who would benefit from advertising music as 'iOS music' is Apple.

  • ^ bingbingbing we have a winner.....

  • People can treat an iOS device as an instrument since it does have some characteristics that set it apart from PC, laptop, and more traditional electronic or acoustic instruments. I don't know that it's any more limiting to say you're a keyboard or guitar player versus an iOS player. There are people that play more than one instrument, others stick to one, and not everyone masters their own music either. Some people may see the iOS devices as small under powered versions of existing computer based music creation while others may find the small size, availability of relatively inexpensive apps, the ability to chain apps in various ways, touch screen, and iOS device sensors allow them to play in a way that draws them in. Not everyone who plays an instrument or creates music has aspirations to spread their creation to the masses. Some enjoy the process of playing and creating itself.

    Quality music has been made using far fewer resources than those available on iOS devices as creativity and a willingness to develop skills have always been an essential aspect of being a musician.

    Wasn't the piano and then keyboards looked down upon at times?

  • Has already gone mainstream

    The thing is that what my ipad is doing is emulating other instruments: piano, guitar, synth, samplr. Even more out there apps like tc11 sound like synthesizers

    What exactly does ipad sound like sir?

  • A means to an end.

  • ^^^ more like discussion with no end. What is a definition of an instrument? Is my doorbell a musical instrument? Whatever in the name of art!

    Hit it with a rhythm stick, then you'll find out.

  • If the interface, multi-touch gestures (GUI) actually contribute to the inherent performance quality of the music, then the iPad (tablet, phone) could be considered a new form of instrument. Much like Kinect or other portable wearable devices do. Is the computer considered an instrument?

  • Theremin, turntable, washboard, mouth harp, blade of grass, the tech may change......funky.

  • Predictably it was always going to end in this blind alley. If that's what you aspire to, fine by me. We all have our journeys to make. (armadillo 'rango')

    That's more like it, a touch sensitive ipadist?

  • I, sir, am a doorbellist....although mostly no one seems to be home. Now if only I had midi in...

  • Someday apple create the ihumans and the earth will be terraformed into an lightning apple ;) The ipadist will be the king of this world. Then iOS music is the one and only religion. Sorry, the heat burns my brain ;)

  • I used to be a tap dancer, but my timing was awful...until I fell in ' sync.....

    Sorry. Only just saw this thread. Thank you for mentioning me in the same breath as Sinking Feeling and Moor Hertz. Both really amazing iOS based musicians who make incredible sounding music. Listening to Sinking Feeling's tracks really opened up my view of what you could bend Gadget into sounding like.

    I think there have been some occasions of iOS music in the 'mainstream' as mentioned (eg gorillas, bjork, that apple ad etc). A group called Vector Lovers made the album 'iPhonica' entirely with NanoStudio on an iPhone (4?) and it got reviewed in the music press. Kaikoo put me into it. It's pretty good.

    I think what will happen is that slowly, under the radar, iOS music making will merge into the mainstream - rather than there being a big moment. The general public really don't care that much how what they listen to is made. And at the end of the day, it's all computers.

  • And at the end of the day it's all music....

  • I've had chats with sinking feeling and scrutinised his amazing work. My conclusion is that a lot of his aural gymnastics are accomplished by AUTOMATING THE FX TYPE not just the parameters of one, but of many fx that chop and change within the loop.

  • Yep

    Actually for me the interesting thing about iOS music isn't the technology so much as the mobility.

    I certainly don't have a studio. I don't even make music sitting at a desk.

    I make all my music on buses and trains, in parks and in cafes, on airplanes and in hotel rooms. And of course, on the sofa.

    This is the only way that making music seriously would fit into my busy life. So the iPad has really made the difference between being able or not able to do it.

    I tried using a few tools on my Mac (a synth or two and ableton) but it was just so restrictive to have to involve a computer. Even the few bits of cheap hardware I've bought (keyboard and controller) don't get used, for the same reason.

    I'm also not sure I'd 'want' to be pegged as an iOS musician. With constant technology (software/hardware) changes, I find myself gravitating to a different set of base tools every few years. I've never wanted to market myself based on those tools, though. Don't mind discussing what I've used to compose, but don't want it to be a primary reason people might be attracted to my music.

    Yep. Agreed. I've tried doing that a bit. I've made a crazy midi designer template that works a bit like Effectrix (eg 16 steps then loops) and let's you easily see/select the FX type and values on a per step basis.
