You can record the midi out in Logic.but of course just with a bit of extra step/workaround or other midi FX. There's just so much possibility with the ones I listed (and yes, I know there are even others as well). I have looked into the Ableton Max 4 Live ones, and while I haven't used them, they too seem to pale in comparison. Probably doesn't help that I use Logic, and Logic doesn't record the note output from MIDI FX, but even omitting that the iOS ones are far richer in creative possibility. I've checked out pretty much all desktop MIDI controller tools, and I think the iOS ones win hands down, and it's not even really close. Sort of hate to pin my usage on one said: But the lack of consideration for tempo changes has been the most shocking thing about trying out iOS. I've only found Modstep that can do that and trigger scenes with a foot controller, and it is actually working for almost everything I need. like a verse, chorus, bridge with different tempos. So in that sense, hell ya, 'midi control apps life iOS to a serious music making I would love to know if any of those other apps you listed can save change tempo in the middle of the 'song', i.e. Take the iPad and work on your patches and beats on the subway, while watching the kids at the playground, etc.Īdd a couple midi controllers and a small hardware synth and you've got a pedalboard sized studio. And frankly _because _it has fewer options. Probably a tutorial video.īut the portability is why my band is moving to it. This is partly just the smaller user base and recency of many apps, for any Reaper question I've had, it has been asked and answered a few times on forums. But I can do all the normal important things on an iPad* though it took a lot more searching to figure out how. All I know is that, of the things I have ever had in mind to do, I could very easily do all of them in Reaper with its extensions. I have not done a comprehensive feature comparison of desktop to iPad midi capabilities. Yup, it’s pretty mind blowing to have stuff like this on a sheet of glassĪnd in case of the midi stuff you can just run you hardware gear at home with it too! User] said: In many cases I have to use sequencing more because I don't have a nice keyboard to play. Thing is I can program my midi sequences on the bus home with the ipad which in-fact makes me more productive. Of course you are correct about M4L and many other options for in my case PC. A lot of this kind of stuff and can add some nice spice to working in ableton From the apps you listed I think you’d really dig some of the max4live stuff out there too. You might already be clue to it but in case you aren’t - If you’re also on desktop check out some of the max4live stuff. Seems to me to be one of the more overlooked, or at least not talked about enough, aspects of music making on iOS. I know there are others too, and even if you take just a few of them they quickly outshine other MIDI controllers. Rozeta - Excellent collection of MIDI AU effects (needs a host to work). TC-Data - Another controller with a focus on touch screen controls, a bit of a learning curve but very rewarding.Ĭhangeling - A playable multi channel sequencer that lets you adjust patterns on the fly with various parameters. Gestrument - A controller with focus on touch screen controls, with a nice set of parameters to work with. So good, and works as a MIDI AU effect too.įugue Machine - Wonderful sequencer that lets you output each single playback head to a different channel.Īrpeggionome - Same developer as Fugue Machine, a playable arp tool with a slew of options. StepPolyArp Unit - Same developer as ChordPolyPad, with a ridiculously versatile sequencer/arp, complete with multiple patterns and cc control. Honestly working on a desktop now seems somewhat bland to me, after using the following:ĬhordPolyPad - Quickly set up a 16 pad page with chords, using things like randomization and scale filter, along with x/y cc control? Glorious. In my opinion the number of high quality MIDI controller apps available for iOS really make the iPad stand out.
