    Is this what is meant by cinematic music?

    Ifretless brass played with Soundprism give you the cinematic music like you hear in Star Wars.

    Aside from the main 'theme' a lot of music from Film and TV can result from rhythmic changes to set pace, so I would look towards decent percussive creation as well.
    Edit: It would vary as to needs and taste but DrumJam can produce some nice rythmns

    Hi everyone, I'm very new to synths (and iOs music making) and am looking for an app that has the best cinematic sound presets/pads in your opinions. I just heard Alchemy and really liked the sounds but also found out that the app is no longer available :( Any other recommendations?

    You can get alchemy again. An updated 2.0 version no less! You just have to buy Logic Pro X. ;)

  • necromenecrome

    is that $199 USD or something? cries

  • Matt_Fletcher_2000Matt_Fletcher_2000

    Or, apparently, "Main Stage" for $30

  • [Deleted User][Deleted User]

    Yes, MainStage rocks. You can even use it with your DAW of choice i.e. send MIDI from your DAW to MS and route audio output back to your DAW via Soundflower. LPX not needed :)

    Or back in to your iPad with Audiomux/musicio. Auxy to Mainstage into DFX. Good stuff for 30 bucks.

    Also, if you don't want to use your desktop computer, you can take samples from the huge library of EXS24, UltraBeat and Alchemy samples and use them for creating new instruments in Thumbjam, Cubasis MiniSampler, various drum machines, etc

    Awesome stuff

  • Matt_Fletcher_2000Matt_Fletcher_2000

    Please could you stop wanting me to buy Mainstage. I DON'T WANT TO BUY IT. I DEFINITELY DON'T WANT TO BUY IT.

  • GoozoonGoozoon

    you will :) maybe even today

  • Matt_Fletcher_2000Matt_Fletcher_2000

    I am strong. And I already have Alchemy on my iPad.

    I just need to keep repeating that :)...

    ... and I don't even use a flipping computer to make music!

    Same here. Let's be patient, I reckon something will come to iOS from this.

    You don't have to. You can take all of the samples from it and put them in Bilbao or Thumbjam. Just saying.

  • Matt_Fletcher_2000Matt_Fletcher_2000

    @BvsMV By meticulously sampling every patch by hand?

    Or can you get in and grab them all in one go somehow?

    Each Exs instrument has a corresponding sample folder, tagged with note names that you can just snag the samples out of. Thumbjam would recognize that and map then out. I only have Abu Dabai for Gadget, so I am not sure how you can assign samples to that, but the drum kits are all in corresponding folders you can snag as well.

    Agreed. A few logistical hurdles aside (how to reintroduce without forcing users to repurchase sound packs, do they strip it down and pair it with Garageband or go hardcore and aim straight for the AB Forum user-types with a better than ever standalone synth ...), Alchemy was/is beloved. There's money there. Apple likes money.

    Really? You guys are killing me!

    So I just buy Mainstage and then move all the note named multi sampled wavs?

    That's pretty tempting!

    If Gadget ever got a keyboard based sampler I'd do it.

    I tried something like this once with Thumbjam and it took a lot of fiddling and a few hours to make 1 instrument though. It kept mapping odd samples to the wrong note even though they were named correctly. So I had to find the culprit and reassign. Very frustrating I remember.

    Making instruments in Bilbao like this is kind of possible. Fine for drums and sort of possible for a very basic one or two octave of melodic samples but you have little control over note length or ADSR or anything.

  • Matt_Fletcher_2000Matt_Fletcher_2000

    Also a ton of stuff gets 'done' to the raw sample in the Alchemy synth I think. It gets effected in multiple lovely ways and that's how you can change all the parameters in Alchemy's UI I believe.

    But even so. Still a bit tempting for the money.

    Yeah, no magic 8 panel grid in Thumbjam, alas ...

    Wait stop! I just opened up the samples folder and they are not key mapped. I don't know what I was remembering that this was the case. They are numbered with the midi note numbers. I am not sure anything on iOS can just read that. There is an app for iOS that can do EXS files though. I hope I didn't just make you drop 30 bucks.
