Nice. Thanks for those details. I’m now following that Twitter account. Much appreciated.

My pleasure. I’ve discovered that applying combinations of things using the hold button is fantastic and can deliver a really quite sophisticated, full sound in seconds

I know where you are coming from. I use Korg Gadget quite a lot for the easy preset library. But Audulus is the app I go to when I know what I want to do and don’t want to be bothered to learn how to do it in one of the many fixed architecture synth engines. Also, you can design your own synth much more so than any other app. I mean to the level of, “I don’t like how that wavefolder works, I’ll make it asymmetrical and saturate it a little.”

I should also add that I like to build on the Mac version and play on the iPad, especially for modular.

I’m just curious, how many people here have an ES-8 that they use with their iPad?

I know what you mean! I just cleaned up an old iPhone 4s. I want try it out for recording the modular. I had the idea I could take the lunch box out on battery power and record with the 4s.

was trying to find this! thanks for posting

My 4s is one of my favourite things - I use it for everything from a sleep aid (tinnitus relief via ambient) to a field recorder (with Fostex AR-4i) to a sound/sample source for my other iOS devices! Absolutely love it!

This thread inspired my to record a bunch of improvisation on my phone last night. https://soundcloud.com/ethanhein/kronecker-improv

im leaning more towards getting a mutant brain to hold me off until i get a Poly 2, but yeah i definitely want to use my ipad more. So far ive only used it as an end of chain DSP.

Koala seems really cool, just got it, and it´s fun
(Why do I think it´s funny that to me it feels like I got dj64 maxpatch fx in my phone)

Not sure it’s been mentioned here but this new app looks like it could be useful to some here.

I might even dip my toes into a bit of ‘coding’ as it looks like it’s well supported and ideal for beginners.

Exactly my thoughts!

If I want to get sounds in and out of the Ipad are there any interfaces besides the iConnectAudio4+ that people would recommend?

I’ve been feeling a little guilty recently as my euroracks have been sitting neglected (partially due to moving my studio around and it being messy), but the Ipad is just such an immediate and fun way to make music. I’ve been using AUM (so great) and especially Enso. The only other thing I’ve been using which I don’t think has been mentioned is dot Melody, which goes great with Enso.

I have a Zoom U24 which I am really pleased with. It totally depends what your needs are, though - any class compliant interface should work fine

here’s a plug for iVCS3 by apeSoft https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ivcs3/id665703927?mt=8
can use just the effects as channel inserts in aum
like spring reverb, sounds great :slightly_smiling_face:

Recommendations for an audio unit sampler? Does Reslice only let you work with one file at a time? I’d love something I could load drum or other short samples into.

Coincident - I just bought iVCS3 the other day. Getting to know the beast! Like this idea though. Cheers
