spent some time with
@Niall since heās been in town. We recorded a long synth improvisation with a friend of ours, looking forward to listening back to it soon

Itās a 248r MARF clone. The awesomest sequencer on earth.

Yep, itās a MArF! I built it last month and itās been living there until my new case gets here, at which time Iāll throw it and the other 200 series clones Iām building in there and put the keyboard back in the easel case

Wow! Iām literally doing the exact same thing right now with Moog 15 app! Itās beautifully quirky when run through sequencers 
. I just discovered sequencers a week ago if you can believe it! Iāve only been into electronic music for a year or so, very late to the game and also nobody I know is into this stuff at all in the little town I live in. I sometimes wonder if Iām the only one in the world listening to or trying to make this music. So happy to find Iām wrong! Cheers! You made my day

Samplr is a killer app! I do a ton with it. Iām new to the forum and know that itās a pretty hardware heavy community but I exclusively make music with my iPad - Thereās just so much you can do and so many apps itās crazy (Have you checked out Audulus 3? You can do almost anything with it but ridiculous steep learning curveā¦like massive 
) I definitely understand the appeal of analogue though and would be all over it if I had the

need one, build one for me :)))
I have Audulus, itās pretty overwhelming! My bandwidth for insane learning curves is pretty well taken up by eurorack and Ableton for the momentā¦

the quirks! so much room for experimentation. it seems like you are in good shape. i started with garage band and reason 2.5 around a decade ago and i can honestly say i donāt think i got exactly how pure synthesis worked until i got the model 15 app. i could always sculpt the sound with effects or audio processing and never really thought about how much can be done with the filters and noise inside of your average soft synth. i imagine the same is true of many people who get into none emulated modular synths but i havenāt found room in my life for those yet
i havenāt been as plugged into the ios scene recently, what other apps are you using??
almost done with my dream instrument. gonna replace earthsea with an an lxd and crow when it comes out. seqencing and modulation done with audulus. ipad also running samplr. norns running mlr.
the only other things in my studio are a laptop, sp303, and ms20.

Beautiful!
Moving modulation duties to Audulus has been a revelation for me. I havenāt experimented with sequencing via it at all though. Is there a particular module you use / would recommend?

maybe worth starting a separate thread about Audulus + modular? thatās something Iāve been curious about but havenāt ventured into since I donāt have a USB>CV module.

Current setup. No CV interface for the iPad, so Iām only using it for audio processing, still really awesome!

i also have yet to really experiment with the more āconventionalā ( not the best word as there are also some bonkers ones ) sequencers. iāve been using the keyboard running through a slew module, then a quantizer module, then in to a cv recorder module. itās like a VERY primitive earthsea. its very fun and tactile like i like it.
well if i you say so!
audulus paired up with an es-8 has been a game changer for me. it really opened up my modular and has been incredibly fun and musically rewarding. i do think there is a bit to consider before diving in obviously.
when originally planning my modular setup, i had completely disregarded using it in a live context. it seemed a bit too time consuming to think about, cumbersome, and extremely expensive. my original idea was to create a little 84 hp skiff that got me some sounds i liked, with a focus on sounds i found harder to make with a computer. i make heavily sampled based music so i really was thinking of the modular as another sample source. this freed me from spending a lot of time/money thinking about complex generative patches or anything like that. i just wanted a cool sample source that could wiggle around and be fun and wild, all the composing would be done in ableton āin postā haha. at first i thought i would get some vcos / vcfs and control them with an es8 and vcv rack. but then i found out about audulus and i was so excited. i already used an ipad as samplr is a complete must for me, and i already had an es 8, therefor audulus was a no brainer for me. i could now not only do all the modulation and crazy generative patches, i could also take it out live !
the experience itself has been amazing. i find the interface fun and easy to use, the module library is deep and using it with the es8 could not be easier. there is even an es-8 module inside audulus! the es-8 shows up in ios no problem and with aum, you can set up the the i/o as you please. and finally to seal the deal, Mark, one of the designers @audulus is extremely nice and responsive. he really helped me figure it out quick.
one thing i am looking forward to is the implementation of more gestural cv control that takes advantage of ios. something like samplr for cv!! only with earthsea esqe features !!
