Re: iOS (iPad and iPhone) Apps of worthiness!!
DM1 - This is a fantastically executed, beautifully laid out app. But more importantly it is a top notch musical instument. So many musical instrument apps have lots of features but are hampered by the inability to be actually played as an instrument.

Hi everybody,
I think I can say my bit because I have luckily tried most of them....not animoog tough...thing that I'm going to do soon after this.
I like beatmaker2, and Multitrack daw. My dream is to mix them together and have a Multibeatmaker daw app!
I know people is complaiming, maybe rightly so, of the souns in beatmaker, especially comparing them with nano studio, but you can sample any sound you want and edit them, anyway.
I would like to hear your opinion and discover if I am the only one with such a dream, and few others, but we can't talk about those here.
Regards
Luca

Re: iOS (iPad and iPhone) Apps of worthiness!!
At this moment my favorites are:
DM1 (great drum machine)
Fairlight Pro (It's nice to play with a close recreation of a machine that most of us could never afford)
Animoog (nice MMI, Moog sound)
Voice Synth (Vocoder app)
iMS-20
iElectribe
DXi (nice Yamaha DX-like app)
iMaschine (great for capturing beats)
GarageBand (great for composing ideas into a raw song. songs can be loaded into Logic afterwards)
OSC (for controlling my Mopho)

Drumstudio - I've been looking for a mobile drum sequencer to use a a writing tool and this ticks all the boxes. There are a great range of accents available (ghost notes, flams, drags, heavy accents, cymbal chokes etc). The best feature for me is that you can have as many time signature and tempo changes per song as you like. I haven't found a signature it can't cope with, and you can select where the default accents are for each section. For the prog/fusion inclined this is the app feature I've been waiting for. It doesn't have a great range of kits, but as a writing tool it's fantastic.

Our purpose/s is are unique to us, just as meaning/s of our life is unique to us.
These alter throughout our life.
Thus, should be obvious there is no universal purpose, no universal meaning of life, except just to be who we are.

Re: iOS (iPad and iPhone) Apps of worthiness!!
Last week I did a search of the istore for "fart". You would not believe the proliferation of ifart apps. Being adventurous I had to download a number of the free offerings and to my amazement, some allow you to change timbre, volume and pitch! In real time! Depending on your taste in music this would put those few apps into the realm of musical instrument! How exciting is that? But I won't hold my breath that we will be hearing these instruments on tunes on the radio any time soon . . . . . . . But then there is always EDM and it's quest for fatter bottom . . . . .

I could get away with 16GB Air iOS9 as I don't record too much audio. In any instance I have an i-flash device (review later).

Three free controllers that work well over WiFi (in conjuction with rtpMIDI) on the PC.
miniyo-T
Transport bar with scrub, markers and timecode feedback (I wish it had a volume knob too)
http://eyosido.com/miniyo/t/
Midi Controller Free
Access lots of sequencer parameters remotely
https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/midi-co ... 92196?mt=8
Knob Lab
Set up knobs for remote controlling sequencer
https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/knob-la ... 66234?mt=8
Cheers.

Re: COPY OF: iOS (iPad and iPhone) Apps of worthiness!!
Bumping this thread to see if anyone is running an iPad for decent quality realtime reverb on an incoming stereo signal?
In other words, something to load and allow to use the whole of the iPad's resources to treat it as a reverb box with a great interface.
I came across Altispace (and got it confused with Altiverb for a brief OMIDOG! moment) but haven't yet tried it.
Thoughts?

Re: COPY OF: iOS (iPad and iPhone) Apps of worthiness!!
What about a playable Guitar app? I don't mean like pedal boards, effects and pre-recorded guitar loops and stuff but an app with actual Guitar patches so I can play MY OWN melodies.
There are some good ones for Piano, but i've yet to find an acceptable one for Acoustic guitars. Any suggestions?

Jam Maestro is AMAZING! I used it until I was able to pick up a used axe.
Re: iOS (iPad & iPhone) Apps of worthiness!!
Here are my current 2020 TOP 5 by category.
1) DAW: N-Track Studio Pro - $29.99.
Very close between n-Track and Beatmaker 3 in performance, but I prefer the flow of n-Track. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/n-track-9 ... 1160793386
2) Drum Machine: Patterning 2 - $19.99.
Immediately fell in love with the circular motion and new way of thinking about drum patterns. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/patternin ... 1332154350
3) Synth: Moog Model 15 - $29.99.
I feel a description is unnecessary. It's as good or better than you're expecting it to be. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/model-15- ... 1041465860
4) Guitar Amp: Bias Amp 2 - $19.99 (unlocked).
The entire suite from Bias is super high quality, some of you may already use the desktop versions. Incredible sound design and extremely versatile. Even better when you unlock the other apps in the series, as they work together to design your sound.
5) MIDI: Aftertouch - $2.99 (seems to be discontinued), substitute with Expression Pad - FREE.
Aftertouch is incredible and has configurable 3D touch (X,Y,Z axis) for pitch, mod, etc. So fun to use and is versatile enough to do just about anything. Since it seems to have disappeared from the app store, expressionpad is a close runner up. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/expressio ... 1198834918
6) Bonus: touchAble Pro - $29.99.
I LOVED the first version of touchAble, even though it hardly ever worked! This new version is much smoother and it offers total control of ableton live 10 sessions. Whether you're mixing, doing sound design, or performing live... this app slaps. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/touchable ... 1205967746
